Pursuing Her

Chapter 6 Who Did I Offend This Time

Sophie looked through the information Butterfly sent and learned that hackers from Anglandur were trying to break through Chanaea’s firewall.

If the hackers succeeded, they could steal government information from Chanaea and plunge the country into a huge crisis.

Sophie promptly deleted the information and took a taxi back to the Tanner residence.

The moment she arrived, she heard Charmaine say, “I hope you don’t cause any trouble now that you’re in Jipsdale Premier High, Sophie. Since you’re in the same school as your sister now, you can ask her for help.”

Regardless of how much Charmaine despised Sophie, she was her daughter at the end of the day, and that was a fact she could not change. To that end, Charmaine could only hope that Sophie would not make things difficult for Willow.

Willow piped up, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take care of Soph and keep her from repeating her old mistakes.”

She ruined Sophie’s reputation five years ago, and she was confident that her younger sister was still not her match today.

Irritated by their pretentious acts, Sophie drawled, “Are you done with your little act? It’s disgusting. Keep your hands out of my matters; they have nothing to do with you. If you love acting so much, why not become an actress?”

Sophie headed upstairs without sparing the two one last look.

Charmaine was infuriated. “Look at her attitude! Who does she think she is? She’s still not remorseful after what she did years ago!”

Willow secretly scoffed to herself before coaxing, “Don’t be angry, Mom. You still have me. I won’t disappoint you.”

“Yes! Thank goodness! You’ve never disappointed your mother. Willa, you know the Tanner family’s situation now. It’s even more imperative that you succeed.”

As long as Willow married into a wealthy family, the Tanner family would have hope of reviving their fortunes.

Sophie ignored the duo downstairs and whipped out her laptop once she was back in her room.

She switched on the nondescript laptop, which started up faster than an Apple computer.

It was booted up and ready to use in under three seconds.
