Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238 A Harrowing Scene

Charmaine emerged to summon them in and was greeted immediately by that harrowing scene.

Her mouth fell open in shock. She wanted to scream but was unable to produce even a squeak.

However, Sophie was unperturbed by Charmaine’s arrival.

Only when Yale was deathly pale and close to suffocation did Charmaine force herself to walk over and grab Sophie’s hand.

“No matter what happened, Soph, he’s still your father,” Charmaine pleaded. “You’ll regret it for the rest of your life if you hurt him today.” Sophie was her daughter, and to that end, Charmaine did not wish for the former to be burdened by the sin of patricide.

Victor came over as well.

“It’s not worth destroying yourself for somebody like that, Sophie.” I still can’t believe Sophie did that.

Sophie shoved Yale aside. Despite regaining his freedom, he could not even take a single step as he sat on the ground and gasped for breath. Even the expensive suit he donned could not disguise how wretched he appeared at that moment.

“Sophie…”

Yale finally found his voice after a long while. It was quavering at that moment.

Is the girl before me my daughter? I never knew that the girl had such a terrifying side. She was going to kill me just now!

Yale could not steady his pounding heart at the thought of his close brush with death.

“You better pray nothing happens to Grandpa, or I won’t let you go!” At that, Sophie turned and entered the conference room.

Charmaine frowned.

“What did you do? Isn’t Old Mr. Tanner at home? Why would Soph say such a thing?”

Yale shoved his wife, who had knelt beside him, aside.

“All you know is ask questions. Look at the daughter you raised! She even dares raise a hand against her father! She is a murderer!”

Charmaine shook her head. “I know my daughter very well, Yale. She would not be this way if you hadn’t done something.”

Sophie has always been serene by nature and would not flare up without provocation. The circumstances only pointed to the fact that Yale did something that thoroughly enraged her. What’s more, the matter pertained to Old Mr. Tanner.

Yale stood up and entered the conference room. There is no way I’m going to miss the announcement of the result.

Everybody had resumed their seats by then. The union chairman took the stage, and by the end, all the shareholders unanimously agreed that Sophie was the best choice to lead Tanner Group.

“I hereby declare that from today on, Ms. Tanner is officially the CEO of Tanner Group!”

Victor led the round of applause after the union chairman spoke.

Everybody was satisfied with the results.

Sophie has what it takes to lead us to new heights.

Yale, however, refused to accept the result. He leaped to his feet.

“Sophie dared to lay a finger on her own father. How could somebody of this character be the CEO of Tanner Group? I firmly object!”

Yale was clutching at straws, but not one of the shareholders paid him any attention.

Speaking of character, nobody’s was worse than Yale’s. Sophie’s leadership was what they wanted instead.

“Don’t you believe me? She’d just grabbed my neck earlier, trying to kill me.”

Yale refused to give up. Sophie is not suitable for this position.
