Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Ruthless

Willow, who’d been eavesdropping, was dissatisfied. Is Grandpa going to take her side no matter how big of a mess Sophie caused? It looks like age is getting to him, that’s why he starts acting soft.

“Dad, are you going to watch Tanner Group fall into ruins?”

Yale was still unwilling to accept the fact that Josiah was taking Sophie’s side.

“I have no choice even if it does fall into ruins. Didn’t I give you a chance too? Tanner Group turned out to be in its current state under your leadership. What do you have to say for yourself? Now, I’ve given that chance to Sophie. No matter what decision she makes, I’ll support her. No matter what the outcome is, I’ll accept it.”

Josiah didn’t want to say anything anymore, so he turned around and went upstairs.

“What should we do now? The company’s stocks were down by tens of millions within several hours. On the bright side, I presume not even a single shareholder is on Sophie’s side now.”

“Right, no one is going to want to take her side with the present situation. The final victory belongs to me. Dad wants her to inherit the Tanner Group, right? How is that even possible?”

I will never let that happen.

“Yale, no matter what, she’s your daughter. I hope you don’t cross the line.”

“Humph, women have no rationale. You treated her like your daughter, but did she ever treat you as her mother? Has she even shown us any kindness ever since she returned?”

“I only hope you can let her live.”

She’s my flesh and blood, regardless. How can I not care for her?

“That depends on her performance. I won’t be heartless if she doesn’t get in my way.”

Sophie didn’t go to school in the evening. Instead, she went to Transfix Cosmetics’ Development Department.

Sophie asked the receptionist, “Is the person in charge around?”

“May I know who you are? Why are you here instead of school at this hour?” the receptionist asked impassively.

The receptionist merely wanted to send the young girl away when she saw it was just a normal high schooler.

“I request an audience with your general manager. Can you have her come down to meet me?”

“Please don’t cause trouble here. If you refuse to comply, I’ll have to ask the security to escort you out of the premise.”

We don’t even get our pay on time these days. Wasting our time here slacking off feels terrible.

“Perhaps it’s best I resign from my post. What do you think we’re still doing here? Now that Transfix Cosmetics’ sales are at an all-time low, no, scratch that, I should say zero sales. If this goes on, we’d lose our job sooner or later, might as well we leave now and search for new jobs!”

“Yeah. I even heard that the Tanner Group had handed us over to a high schooler. Say, do you think a high schooler can manage the company well? Aren’t we going to end if this goes on?”

“I request an audience with your general manager. Are all of you deaf? Also, I’m the high schooler you’re talking about. If you’re staying, do your job, otherwise, you can choose to leave now.”

Oh my gosh! Did my boss actually hear me gossip about her?

“Ms. Tanner, right? I’ll bring you up right away. The general manager is currently having a meeting.”

Sophie followed one of the receptionists into the elevator and ignored the rest.

“Ms. Lineker, we really can’t come up with an idea. We didn’t manage to sell even a piece of cosmetics since the incident. The entire nation is boycotting us due to Ms. Sophie. Yet, you’re asking me to think of a solution for that? That’s impossible.”

“Yeah. We all know now how crazy netizens can get. The products they boycott won’t be able to survive. If this goes on, we’ll lose our job.”

“I’m sorry we can’t be colleagues anymore. I’ve decided to switch jobs. I hope we’ll meet again somewhere.”

“You—” The general manager of Transfix Cosmetics, Wilma Lineker, didn’t think her colleague would turn in their resignation.

At that time, Sophie, who had been listening in by the door, gently knocked on the door and attracted the attention of everyone in the meeting room.
