Pursuing Her

Was Willow in the wrong? No, Willow did nothing wrong! She only did all that because we agreed to it!

Yale was not very happy when he heard what Charmaine said.

“What are you talking about? You'd better not bring this up in front of Sophie in the future, Charmaine!”

Yale had initially wanted to head out after dinner, but he dropped the idea when he recalled that Sophie was here.

Not wanting Sophie to know about his affairs outside the house, he decided to stay home instead.

Charmaine was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it. Because Sophie was the one calling the shots in the Tanner family, Charmaine and Willow had no choice but to put up with everything.

“I'm sorry for putting you in such an unpleasant situation, Mom,” Willow said apologetically. Mom is my only source of support right now, so I can't let her abandon me!

Charmaine gave her an affectionate pat on the cheek.

“You're my daughter, so it is only natural for me to protect you. She won't come after us as long as we leave her alone, so we should just behave ourselves from now on.”

As much as she hated Sophie, she knew that Sophie wasn't the unreasonable type who would attack without provocation.

Therefore, Sophie would not go after them as long as they left her alone.

“Don't worry, Mom. I know that she isn't someone I can afford to mess with, so I won't mess with her ever again!”

“I'm glad you understand. All right, I'm tired after a long day, so I'm going to head upstairs. You can either go back to your room or stay here and watch some television.”

Josiah was the only one who would want to watch the New Year's Gala. Charmaine and Willow didn't like it at all, but they used to watch it with him just to keep him company. Since Josiah was no longer around, they weren't about to sit around and watch that show by themselves.
