Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Not Going To Do Anything

After walking out of the office building, Sophie was planning to catch a ride back to Wisteria Apartments when a red Porsche Cayenne suddenly stopped in front of her.

When the car window was rolled down, Sophie saw Victor with his flashy sunglasses on.

“Where are you heading, Missy? Let me give you a ride,” offered Victor after propping the eyewear on his head.

“No, thank you.” Sophie could immediately tell how showy the man was and would rather not be in his company.

“Come on. It’s rush hour. You’re not going to get a ride anytime soon. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you,” promised Victor with a big smile, showing his pearl-white teeth.

Knowing that Victor was right, Sophie had no choice but to open the car door and get into the Porsche Cayenne.

“Where to?”

“Wisteria Apartments.” Even though it was already afternoon, Sophie still had to go to school.

“What do you say we go for lunch together? Come on. Don’t look at me like that! It’s not like I’m planning to do anything to you; you’re too young for me. I admire what you did just now, so I hope to get to know you better.”

Many who knew Victor professionally regarded him as their big brother because he always looked out for others.

“No, thank you.”

Victor talked a lot on the way, but Sophie simply nodded or gave the briefest response possible.

“You really want to be the CEO of Tanner Group, Missy?”

“We’re here. Thanks for the ride.”

Victor wanted to say something after he parked his car, but Sophie quickly got out and denied him the chance to do so.

“She’s a pretty serious one if nothing else,” commented Victor while scratching his nose awkwardly.

Meanwhile, Yale and Charmaine had just returned to the Tanner residence.

As soon as Yale parked his car, he rushed toward Josiah, who was busy watering the plants. “Dad, do you know what Sophie did today? She sided with outsiders to strip me of my position as CEO! Tanner Group is the result of your hard work, Dad. You can’t just let her ruin it!”

“He’s right. What Sophie did was cold and heartless,” Charmaine chimed in.

“Sophie should’ve done that sooner after what you two did to the company. You’re not fit to be CEO, Yale. Even if Sophie doesn’t get the position, you should let someone more capable than you take your place.”

“Are you looking down on me too, Dad? You’re just like the rest of them!” Yale got emotional since he did not expect his father to agree with Sophie.

“Because it’s true that you don’t have what it takes.” Josiah had already given Yale enough chances, yet all he got was nothing but disappointment.

“Just you wait, Dad! I’m going to prove you wrong.”

Willow clenched her fists when she overheard the conversation. Why did Sophie have to return? Why did she have to take everything away from me?

When Yale entered the living room, Willow followed.

“I’ll always support you, Dad. To me, you’re the best there is.” Willow then hugged her father.

“You’re the only one who trusts me unconditionally, Willow,” stated Yale as he gently touched his daughter’s cheek.

“Don’t be sad, Dad. Sophie won’t get her way because Mason’s coming back from overseas soon. He can help you.”

“Good girl. You have to win Mason’s heart. With the Lairds’ help, there’s no way Sophie can take Tanner Group from me.”

“Got it!” Willow was confident that she could handle Mason.

At two-twenty, Sophie bumped into Willow just when she was about to leave Wisteria Apartments for school. Damn it! She doesn’t know when to give up, does she?

“What were you thinking, Sophie? How can you treat Dad that way?” rebuked Willow the second she saw Sophie.

“Get out of my way.” Sophie would rather not waste her time talking to the woman.

“I’m your sister, Sophie.”

“I don’t have a sister,” uttered Sophie before bumping Willow’s shoulder to walk past the woman. “One more thing. Stop stalking me because it’s disgusting.”
