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.
