Chapter 316 No Birthday Celebration For Me
“Do I have to report to you about what I’m going to do?” Tristan gave the others a
look. Do they think I’m a pervert or what?
“Well, you don’t need to report to us.” Sophie is such a beauty. There’s no way Mr.
Tristan can hold back anymore!
Even though they did not persist with the questioning, they were sure that Tristan
would undoubtedly do something at Sophie’s coming-of-age party.
Sophie’s eighteenth birthday also meant a lot to Josiah. During dinner, he said, “Soph,
it’s your birthday soon. I want to hold a birthday party for you.”
For Josiah, Sophie’s eighteenth birthday was an important occasion. It had been a
long time since she came back from Horington. He wanted to let everyone know that
his granddaughter had returned home.
Upon hearing that Josiah was planning to hold a birthday party for Sophie, Willow felt
even more indignant.
When Willow had her eighteenth birthday, Josiah was far from being so enthusiastic.
They merely had a simple family dinner together.
“Grandpa, there’s no need for that. I don’t like this kind of occasion,” Sophie replied.
Instead of a celebration, it would feel more like an annoyance for her.
Josiah fell silent. He also knew Sophie did not enjoy such an occasion.
“What do you want, then? This birthday marks your coming of age. It should be
something special!” he probed. How long has it been since I last celebrated Sophie’s
birthday? I’m looking forward to it.
“Grandpa, I have everything I need. All I want is for you to be good. That will make me
happy,” Sophie answered.
Josiah was rendered speechless momentarily.
Turning to Morgan, Josiah asked, “Morgan, am I not been behaving?” Goodness, I’ve
never been this docile before!
Hearing that, Morgan broke into a grin. “Ms. Sophie, Old Mr. Tanner has been very
obedient lately.”
“Well, that’s good to know,” Sophie replied. Things were already back on track at
Tanner Group. Furthermore, Victor had proven to be a trustworthy person. She only

went to Tanner Group occasionally after leaving the company in his hands.
After all, Sophie was still a student. Handing over Tanner Group to Victor was the only
way to put all the employees at ease.
Yale, who had kept silent all this while, eventually spoke up.
“Soph, it’s pointless for me to stay idle at home. Why don’t you let me return to the
company? I can do anything you ask.” Of course, Yale wanted to go back to the
company. Otherwise, the meager dividend he received was not enough for a
spendthrift like him.
Sophie lifted her gaze to him.
“What do you want to do when you return? Or you can just tell me which position you
want.”
Upon hearing Sophie’s question, Yale immediately uttered, “How about the position of
general manager? I think I can still do a good job as the general manager!”
Sophie glanced at Josiah.
How could Grandpa have a son like him? Still, he’s my father. It’s just that his
intelligence is something else…
“You can’t be the general manager! By the way, I think you should stay at home.
There’s no place for you at Tanner Group,” Sophie admonished Yale. Tanner Group is
on the up. I won’t let him ruin it.
“You! Sophie, I’m your father. How could you talk to me like that?” Yale was offended
by her remarks. He continued, “See, Dad? This is the result of you pampering her
unconditionally. She has become so arrogant and insolent now!”
“Come on, Yale! Please have some self-awareness. In fact, you have no place in
Tanner Group,” Josiah rebuked him. I won’t feel at ease even if he’s just an ordinary
staff, let alone the general manager.
Yale was at a loss for words.
Not one trusted him.
“You all think I can’t do it, don’t you?” Yale asked as he looked at everyone in the
dining room.
Josiah and Morgan were in a conversation, whereas Charmaine pretended not to hear
the question.
At that moment, Willow naturally did not dare to say anything. She just bowed her
head and continued eating.
Seeing their lack of reactions, Yale threw his fork in a rage and stormed off.
I can’t stay in this house anymore.
“Oh, right! Grandpa, it’s almost time for the university entrance exam. I won’t come
back for the time being. Call me if you need anything. Or you can ask Morgan to take
you to Wisteria Apartments,” Sophie said.
She had been staying there for a while because of Christmas. It was time for her to go
back.
“Are you going back now?”
Upon hearing that Sophie was returning to Wisteria Apartments, Josiah lost his
appetite suddenly.
Nevertheless, when Josiah thought of the other family members’ attitudes in this
house, he felt that it would be better for Sophie to go back.
He had no objections to whatever Sophie did as long as she was happy.
“Anyway, Sophie, the day after tomorrow is your birthday. Let’s celebrate it before you
go back,” Charmaine suggested. Even though she knew she had no right to say
anything, Sophie was still her own flesh and blood.
“No need for that. I never celebrate birthdays anyway,” Sophie replied.
“You…”
They treated Sophie badly in the past. Nevertheless, Charmaine wanted to make up
for her mistakes. Why doesn’t she give me a chance to make amends for it?
“Grandpa, I’m leaving now!” After bidding Josiah goodbye, Sophie went to her room to
