Chapter 34 Picking You Up

“How were the exams?” Yale asked.

Sophie raised her eyebrow. Does he really care about my grades?

“Don’t you know I don’t like studying? Are you asking me that question to make me feel awful?” She had no intention of showing him a good attitude.

“No matter what happens, I’m still your father, Sophie. You look ill-mannered like this.” Yale frowned. “Stop spending your time hanging outside of the school. You should follow your sister’s example by learning how she studies and interacts with the world.”

He couldn’t understand why there was such a big difference between his two daughters.

“Learn from her? Is she even good enough for me to do that?” Sophie sneered.

Her sneer would make people uncomfortable and terrified.

“Let’s cut to the chase. You aren’t allowed to take the twenty percent shares your grandfather is giving you.” That was the main reason Yale was there.

“Since Grandpa is giving it to me, I will take it.” Sophie was giddy when she saw her father’s pissed-off expression.

“Sophie.” His voice began to sound like he was warning her. “I’m telling you not to take the shares. If you refuse to listen, don’t blame me for what I’ll do.”

It didn’t matter who he was dealing with. As long as that person was a threat to him, he would show no mercy.

The only person he loved the most in the world was himself.

Sophie pushed the door open and exited the vehicle. “I’m sorry, but the shares aren’t the only thing I want. I want the whole company.”

The more desperately her family wanted to keep something to themselves, the more she wanted to take it away from them, even if she couldn’t care less about having it.

“You talk big for an incompetent girl.” Yale didn’t want to argue with her any further. After all, in his eyes, she was just a senior student without any notable skills or academic achievement. He didn’t believe she would cause much trouble for him.

When Sophie arrived back at the Tanner residence, everyone except for Caleb was already there.

When Yale and Charmaine saw Sophie, their expressions darkened. They could scarcely believe she had the guts to take the shares that Josiah had the nerve to hand out.
