Pursuing Her

Willow was not anxious as she had already tampered with everything she could tamper with, so Sophie's return would not matter much.

But Charmaine was uncertain about that.

She was still fear of Sophie. After all, Sophie had never gone by the book.

It was not easy for them to get everything they had now. Thus, there was no way she would give up.

Soon, Sophie arrived at the general manager's office and saw Willow was still sitting inside shamelessly.

The sight amused her. This girl really doesn't know her place, huh?

When the employees saw that Sophie was back, they got up from their workstations one after another to greet her. There were sparkles in their eyes as they looked at her.

Ms. Sophie is finally back!

Although Willow had only taken charge of Tanner Group for a few days, everyone had begun to reminisce about those days when Sophie managed the company.

Yale and Willow didn't even know how to manage a company and were only fooling around. The employees could see the dismaying situation they had been in over the last few days.

“Ms. Sophie, you're finally back.” Some even shed tears of joy.

They believed any problem could be solved with Sophie around.

After Yale knew that Sophie had come to the company, he came out of the chairman's office, too.

He was at a loss for words when he saw her and merely stood there. Cr*p, I know her tactics. If I make a mistake now, I will be doomed!

Naturally, Sophie noticed Yale as well and sneered. They really can't give me any peace of mind, can they? I only left for a few days. Yet, they already made everything of mine theirs.

“Sophie, no matter what happens, please talk in my office. It's not a good idea to talk about it here. After all, these are the Tanners family matters,” Yale could only say so.

At that precise moment, Willow came out of the office with Charmaine and saw her father chickening out.

The sight infuriated her. Can't he be a little more confident? The company is in our hands now. What the hell is he afraid of?

“You don't have to be afraid, Dad. I'm here for you.” Willow looked at Sophie fearlessly. “Sophie, shouldn't you be expecting all of this to come? You didn't even have time for Grandpa before he died. He was gone now. So please, let him rest in peace.”

She paused before continuing, “Grandpa treated you well. Where were you when he wanted to see you before his last breath? How could you be so shameless and come to the Tanner Group now?”

Upon hearing that, everyone in the scene began to whisper among themselves.

“I know you are indeed capable, but this isn't enough. One with a poor character like you is not worthy of managing a company!”

Sophie remained quiet all the time and merely watched Willow act before her. she even crossed her arms before her chest as she stared at the latter.

On the other hand, Charmaine's face turned several shades paler. Since things had come to that, she had no choice but to steel herself at the side. Sophie looks so strange. It's as though she doesn't care at all about the current situation.

“Soph, please stop messing around here. Let's discuss Tanner Group's share distribution when we get home.”

Charmaine was fearful of Sophie.

After all, the will they had was a fake.

If Sophie finds out the will is a fake, there's no way she will let us off. We won't even get any dividends by then.

“That's right. No matter what, these are our family matters. We should talk about it at home,” Yale also reminded.

“Messing around?” Sophie, who had been silent all the while, finally spoke.

“I have yet to say a single word since I stepped into Tanner Group. What are you afraid of? Ah... Are you afraid that you won't be able to keep what you have stolen?”

Charmaine was stunned by Sophie's words and dared not speak anymore.

“Ridiculous! Dad is Grandpa's biological son, and I am Grandpa's granddaughter. How could you say we had stolen something? Grandpa personally said he wished to give Tanner Group to Dad. We all heard that ourselves and Grandpa also made a will with the lawyer. Who are you to say we stole something that doesn't belong to us? I know you have nothing left now. Although it's hard for you, please don't spout nonsense.”

When Willow saw that Sophie came to Tanner Group on her own and that Tristan did not accompany her, she could tell something had happened between the duo. Tristan and Sophie should have broken up. Otherwise, there's no way he would leave Sophie alone on such an important occasion. Without Tristan's support, what else can Sophie do? I bet she isn't able of doing anything now.

Sophie walked up to Willow slowly. The latter was so intimidated by her aura and struggled to hold on.

No matter what, Willow wouldn't let herself back away.

It wasn't until Sophie stood before her that Willow whispered, “You lost, Sophie. You are nothing without Tanner Group and Tristan!”
