Anything For Her

Chapter 162 I Will Take Responsibility For Any Damages Incurred

“You’ve heard enough nonsense.”“All right.” Josiah played along readily. Constance had always been rude to Sophie, and Josiah took it to heart, so it was obvious to the old man that Sophie would not grant Constance the favor. She must really think we owe her.“I’m sorry, Mrs. Laird. As you can see, I’m not feeling very good myself. I really need to be well-rested for the surgery tomorrow. Please make a move if you have nothing else to say.”“Hey—” Constance finally lost it. “Do you not understand what I said? The Tanners used to suck up to us to get all kinds of benefits. Don’t tell me you’re turning your back on us now that things are not looking good for us. You should know better.” Constance lashed out at Josiah without holding back, forgetting that she was there to plead her case.Josiah smirked at her remarks.“You know what, I don’t care what went on between you and Yale. I couldn’t care less. As for you, I hope you know your place. You’re not the boss here, so stop acting like one.” Josiah decided it was time he toughened up against the woman.“What did you just say?” Constance shook in fury when Josiah showed her his true color, but she still tried to compose herself.I would’ve let you have a taste of your own medicine if I weren’t here to ask for a favor.“Old Mr. Tanner, you were around since Mason was still a child. Don’t tell me you feel nothing for him now that he is in this state. Do you really want to see him ruined?” Constance questioned.“As for Sophie…” Constance stopped and softened her tone. “I was wrong for trying to split you and Mason up. I promise I will not stand in the way anymore if he recovers.” This was the first time Constance swallowed her pride in front of Sophie.Tristan was angered when he heard her proposal.What is she even thinking? Sophie and Mason? Over my dead body! He’s already out of the game a long, long time ago.“Mrs. Laird,” Sophie snapped. “Do you really think I like Mason all this while?”Constance suddenly felt the tables were not turning for good.“Sophie, I mean it when I say I’m sorry. Please, help me. Even if you no longer feel anything for him, you should still help him for old time’s sake.”“Are you serious?” Sophie scoffed in disbelief. “I never once liked him.”Sophie really did not admire him. It was true that she once thought Mason was a nice guy, but that perception was shattered when Mason betrayed her.“He’s not even worthy to be called my friend.” Sophie was not planning on being cruel, but Constance had really exasperated her, and she did not want to waste any more time on the matter.“Sophie Tanner! How dare you!” That was the last straw for Constance.“Mrs. Laird, you might think your son is a good man, but to me, he’s just a spineless boy who can’t even stand up against his own mother. He would be nothing but a useless piece of sh*t if he were not born in the Laird family.” Sophie did not sugarcoat anything.“Also, You’re right in saying that Arius is my good friend. Indeed. He will help Mason if I ask him to, but why should I? Do you think I’m the kind of person who returns good for evil?”Constance thought Sophie would budge if she apologized, but she got it all wrong. She was taken aback that Sophie had the heart to refuse her outright.“Sophie Tanner, how could you? You’re so petty!”“A loose tongue causes trouble. Have you heard of that?” Tristan finally spoke. “Grandpa, I brought two bodyguards with me actually. Let me know if you need their help. I knew there would be pesty people here today.”“Well, I don’t mind using their help.” Josiah was glad to hear the suggestion. He had already had enough of a nuisance for the day and he needed some quiet.“You will not do that! You can’t do this—”“Madam.” Before Constance could retort further, two men came toward her and gestured at her to leave.She glared at the men and dared not move an inch.Seeing Sophie had no intention of interceding, Constance yelled at her.“Sophie Tanner! You can’t do this to me. You can’t do this to Mason!” The woman was distressed. She was unwilling to give up since she had
