Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 4 Ask For Help

together with Willow,” Josiah added as though he hadn’t heard her explanation.“Dad, not everyone can get into Jipsdale Premier High. It’s the hardest high school to get into in Jipsdale! Not even rich and influential people can send their children there. Willa got into Jipsdale Premier High through her own abilities.”“Grandpa, you don’t have to do this.” Sophie only came here to pay him a visit. She added, “Besides, I’m staying somewhere else. I’m not moving back.”Josiah’s face turned dark at her words.“Sophie, I promise no one can bully you here. The Tanner family needs you,” he reiterated.“Grandpa, Sophie knows nothing! All she does is fight and spend her time with delinquents.”Bang!Josiah slammed his teacup onto the table so loudly that the tea splashed out.“Willow, you are to leave right this instance if you dare to utter one more word!” Josiah fumed. “Are my orders ineffective now as I wasn’t home for five years?”He turned to Sophie. “Sophie, are you going to disobey me, too?”“Grandpa, I…” Sophie trailed off hesitantly. She would definitely ignore those words if they came from someone else’s lips.However, Josiah was the one who said those words, and he was the only one who cared for her.“Okay, then.” I’ll go to Jipsdale Premier High if that’s Grandpa’s last wish. ”I won’t stay here, though,” she said.If she were to stay under one roof with people she hated, she couldn’t promise she wouldn’t do anything to them.“Fine. I won’t force you to stay. But you’ve only returned tonight, so I want you to spend one night with me.”Sophie nodded in response.“Grandpa, it’s late. You should go to bed. I’ll stay home for the next few days to keep you company,” Sophie assured him. She didn’t want to disappoint him.“Good. I’m no longer young, so I want our family to get along with each other,” Josiah said pointedly. He then got up and went upstairs with Morgan’s help.Charmaine went to clean Sophie’s room with Morgan, so only Sophie and Willow were left in the living room.It seemed to Willow that Sophie wasn’t the same person she used to be. No matter what, I’m the only daughter of the Tanner family.“I can’t believe you had the guts to come back home,” Willow sneered. There was a hint of malice on her face that was unbefitting of her age.Sophie fished out a piece of gum from her pocket. She unwrapped the gum and stuffed it into her mouth.“Willow, I’ll definitely kick you out of the Tanner family!”Having said that, Sophie spun on her heels and entered the room that she used to occupy.Boiling with anger, Willow flopped back into the couch. D*mn it. How dare Sophie say that to me?The next morning, Josiah brought Sophie to Jipsdale Premier High personally.The principal of the school, Andy Langston, was also the head of the Jipsdale Department of Education. Busy with his duties, he would only make time to meet important people.Josiah was a well-known figure in Jipsdale, so he was allowed to wait outside the principal’s office with Sophie.Andy only showed up at his office a little after eleven.He immediately told his assistant to unlock the door and ushered them in. After learning about Sophie’s condition, Andy was stumped.Sophie’s results wouldn’t get her into any vocational schools, let alone the prestigious Jipsdale Premier
