Anything For Her

Chapter 47 Tanner Group Shareholders’ Meeting

“By the way, where are you heading now? I’ll take you there.”

Eustace planned to go back to the private room to get his jacket before sending her wherever she wanted to go.

“No need for that. I’m going back to school. Carry on with your work!” Sophie replied.

Eustace lapsed into a thoughtful silence as he watched her leave. This girl really is something else!

After going downstairs and walking out of the restaurant, Sophie noticed that Tristan was still waiting for her outside.

He was standing there with a cigarette between his fingertips, seemingly pondering over something.

However, with such a good-looking and charming man standing there, even the sight of him smoking was pleasing to the eye, so he naturally attracted a lot of girls, who flocked around him.

Despite that, no one dared to approach him due to his domineering aura.

Sophie walked up to his side.

“Didn’t I tell you guys to leave first? Why are you still here?”

“Waiting for you,” he replied curtly.

Tristan did not ask further since someone had already driven his car outside. The two went out, and he opened the door for her.

“I’ll send you to school?” It was almost time for the night self-studying session.

“Okay,” said Sophie.

He waited so long just to take me to school!

On Friday, Sophie returned to the Tanner residence to have dinner with Josiah.

“Soph, do you want to attend the shareholders’ meeting on Monday?” The annual shareholders’ meeting was on Monday. Sophie held twenty percent of the company’s shares and had reached the age of adulthood at eighteen, so she could attend.

“She’s too young to understand anything, Dad. I can exercise her rights by proxy. The company is not her personal playground.”

The thought of his father skipping him to give Sophie the shares made Yale very upset. I’m your only son. How could you be so distrusting of me?

“Indeed, Grandpa. Soph is still young. Those shareholders in the board meeting are all cruel and heartless. It’s better not to let her participate!” Willow chimed in. I have nothing now. If Sophie went to the shareholders’ meeting, wouldn’t I look even more pitiful? I’m clearly better than her in everything!

“Willow is right, Dad. For Soph’s safety, I think she shouldn’t participate!” Charmaine also disagreed with Sophie going.

“This is your own matter, Soph. Just decide for yourself.” Josiah completely ignored their protests. “Also, since I’ve given you the shares, I won’t interfere with whatever you do with them as long as you’re happy.”

“Dad—”

That’s the company I’ve worked so hard for all my life. How could Dad treat it so casually?

“Are you done eating? Accompany me to the study for a chat when you’ve finished your food.”

Josiah brought Sophie to the study as he found the other three at the table too noisy.

“What should we do now?” Charmaine asked. Sophie has always been rebellious. What will we do if she doesn’t listen to us on the day of the shareholders’ meeting?

“Look at the daughter you bore! Look at what she has become. She’s blatantly disrespecting me, her father!” Yale remarked.

Isn’t it only natural for me to manage her shares?

“You speak as though I’m to blame for this matter. Do you think I conceived her on my own?”

“Enough of that. Just make sure Willow behaves. With the support of the Laird family, I don’t think a young girl like her is capable of doing much.”

Even without the Laird family, Yale still had forty percent of the shares in his hands and was still the largest shareholder of Tanner Group.

“Come. Write a few words. Let me see if your lettering has deteriorated,” said Josiah.

Sophie obediently went to get the ink before spreading the writing paper on the table. She then took a calligraphy pen and dipped it into the ink.

Josiah watched from the side and was satisfied with her performance.

She wrote a few letters on the writing paper before placing the pen down.

“You’re truly blessed!”

Sophie’s penmanship was elegant with clean lines, which greatly satisfied Josiah, and it was for this reason that he doted on her so much.

This girl has been smart since childhood. She has always been able to be the best in anything she wanted to do.
