Changing Only For Her Novel

Charmaine was already shocked to hear Sophie’s voice. Now, the look on Tristan’s face intimidated her further.

However, for the sake of Willow, she had to get a grip on herself.

“Sophie, what are you doing? No matter how bad things went with you and your sister, I didn’t intervene in the past. But this is too much! How could you let things escalate and even got the police? Hurry up and tell them that this is all a misunderstanding and ask them to release Willow!” Charmaine urged anxiously.

I’m your mother, after all. Can’t you even grant this menial request of mine?

“How could I? I’m not the one who hired a hitman to kill her own sister! She wanted to kill me, and yet you accuse me of escalating the matter? Charmaine Laird, don’t you have any conscience left? I get that you favor Willow, but you’ve got to at least be reasonable.” Sophie knew that her mother had always favored Willow. However, her heart still ached to hear Charmaine stating it outright.

Charmaine was stumped.

“I didn’t mean it that way. You’re both my children, and I don’t want to see either one of you get into trouble. No matter what happens in our family, don’t you think that it’s better that we resolve it on our own? Why do you have to go to this extent? I know that the two of you have never gotten along. As long as you let her off the hook this time, I promise that she won’t do something like this again.”

“I’ve given her enough chances! She framed and smeared my name, and I had to go to Horington all alone because of her. I forgave her and didn’t hold her responsible for my sufferings. However, this time, I’m not letting her get away!” Sophie said.

Giving in to Willow time and again would only make her take advantage of Sophie’s leniency.

“Sophie, what do I have to do for you to spare Willow? Do I have to kneel before you? You’re the CEO of Tanner Group now. Aren’t you worried how your employees will see you when you’re being this petty?” Charmaine reasoned.

“Since they’re my employees, let me worry about how they’ll see me. It has nothing to do with you,” Sophie retorted.

How dare she threaten me? And she had the cheek to say that I’m her daughter too. I should have known that she’s always biased toward Willow.

Sophie was relieved that she had seen through it all. Otherwise, she would have been heartbroken.

Tristan wrapped his hands around Sophie’s shoulders and displayed a hostile attitude toward Charmaine.
