Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 88 The Grand Gesture

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 had been waiting in the car the entire time.“Do you think the man accompanying Ms. Sophie today is the mastermind behind Transfix Cosmetics, Mr. Tanner?” he continued after a thoughtful pause. “I can already foresee what a hit Transfix Cosmetics’ new products will be. At this rate, there’s a high possibility of Ms. Sophie stepping up as CEO.”Lionel refused to believe that an eighteen-year-old girl possessed such business acumen.“That is why I’m sending you to investigate! You are my trusted aid. How do you think you will fare
