Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 88 The Grand Gesture

talk back to Sophie, he did not have the same regard for an actress.“He’s looking at me threateningly, Sophie,” Cecelia complained.“You-”Felix was furious that Sophie caught him in the act. His gaze was indeed frightening.“I did not, Mr. Tristan.” Felix was not about to back down. So what if Cecelia has her backer, and so do I!However, Tristan did not pay him any mind.“My apologies,” Felix muttered, not expecting such a predicament to befall him.Seeing that, Cecelia became smug.This is how powerful my backer is.Josiah was pleased to see Cecelia when the group arrived at the hospital. As Sophie and Cecelia were old friends, the latter had been a frequent visitor to the Tanner residence.“Is that you, Cecelia? It’s been a long time since you paid me a visit. Have you forgotten all about me?”Cecelia grinned. She cut some fruits for Josiah and then poured him a glass of water.“You’re like my grandfather, Grandpa. How could I forget you? I haven’t visited the Tanner residence because I was upset that Soph had been banished to Horington.”Well, I was still young five years ago and had no power to help Sophie.“Forget it, it’s all in the past now. Soph turned out just as well in Horington.”“That is true. Sophie excels wherever she goes.”As Cecelia had a program to shoot that night, her agent came and picked her up.Sophie and Tristan were still in the ward. The former began a conversation with Josiah.Yale arrived at the hospital later that night and frowned upon seeing Tristan who was standing next to Sophie.“Who is he?”The sales of Transfix Cosmetics must be doing well, given its current state.He never believed Sophie was capable of something like that and could not help but wonder if the man had anything to do with Transfix Cosmetics’ success. What is he after? Does he have intentions toward Tanner Group?Josiah was displeased with Yale’s attitude.“Who he is is none of your business. What do you want to tell us this time? Sophie has taken concrete steps to disprove your claim of her being incapable. What else do you have to say?”“I’m just concerned for her, Dad. I am her father. Why would I harm her?”Yale sensed that there was more to that man than met the eyes.“Send Sophie home, will you, Tanny?”Josiah felt ashamed to have a son like him.“We’ll make a move, Grandpa. See you soon.”Tristan was displeased with the newcomer’s disrespect for Josiah and attitude toward Sophie.As he is Sophie’s father, it’s not my place to say anything.“Who is the hell is he, Dad? Sophie is still young and naïve. What are his intentions for being close to her?”“Are you worried that he would threaten your position within Tanner Group, Yale? When have you ever cared about Sophie like that?”“That’s not fair, Dad. Isn’t all that I do for the benefit of our family? Is the change in ownership of Tanner Group what you want?”Josiah grew tired of arguing with his son.With the conversation ending in a huff, Yale left the hospital and lit a cigarette as soon as he got in the car.“I want you to find out about the man with Sophie today.”“Yes, Mr. Tanner,” said Lionel respectfully, who
