Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 616

Willow enunciated, “Aren't you worried that you'll infuriate Grandpa, who had passed away, so much that he'll crawl out of the ground and haunt you?”

Finally, Sophie's face was no longer devoid of expression.

Oh well, she can't be allowed to walk free anymore.

Stalking forward, she raised her hand and slapped Willow thrice. In the end, she found it uneven, so she backhanded the latter another time.

“Yours? When did my asset become yours, Willow? Even if I don't want Tanner Group, it's still something Grandpa gave me. I'm not going to tolerate anyone having any designs on it!”

The instant Sophie spoke, she radiated authority.

Yale didn't quite know how to react.

I just knew that this matter couldn't be that simple! Sophie didn't make an appearance the past few days for no other reason than having something else to do. How could we have possibly pulled this off so easily?

Willow wanted to resist when Sophie hit her, for she would never allow herself to be trampled beneath the latter's feet. Unfortunately, Sophie was too aggressive, so much so that she wasn't her match.

“Grandpa is already laid to rest, so you're not allowed to continue disrupting his peace all the time!” Still enraged after saying that, Sophie again smacked her across the face.

Hah! She keeps speaking of Grandpa. Does she really think I don't know she's trying to use him to hurt me?

Willow cradled her face.

“You struck me again? I'm going to kill you, Sophie!” With her having suffered a few slaps, not only was her face red and swollen at that moment, but her hair was also a tangled mess. She appeared just like a lunatic.

She wanted to lunge forward and rip Sophie into pieces, but Victor held her back.

“How should we deal with her, Ms. Sophie?” By then, Victor had lost all patience.

I've bided my time for so long to wait for Ms. Sophie to return. Yet, they thought that we'd all given up, huh?

“How to deal with it, you ask?”

Sophie sounded exceedingly blithe. It was as though she was speaking of dealing with some trash.

“I think she's very much unstable mentally. In this case, send her to a psychiatric nursing home!” she concluded. Over there, she probably won't start having delusions anymore.


“How dare you! Don't go overboard, Sophie. Let me tell you this—back then, Tristan sent me to none other than a psychiatric hospital. And you want to do the same now! Who do you two think you are?”

Willow's voice was shrill and sharp.

“Oh? You've been there? Then, you should be very familiar with it. Just go and have another visit!”

“You're unbelievable! Mom, Dad, are you both just going to watch from the sidelines? Do you really not have anything to say?”

Yale was entirely unprepared for the current situation.

Nevertheless, he had already started doubting his choice since Sophie was still so confident when things had come to that.

Therefore, it stood to reason that he didn't dare utter a single word at such a time.

Charmaine, on the other hand, was likewise at a total loss. Glimpsing the manic look in Willow's eyes, she couldn't help wondering whether Willow had truly gone unhinged.

“Yes, how about you both? Didn't she ask you to make a choice earlier? Now, I'll also give you a chance. Make your choices!”

Sophie took her phone out of her pocket and saw that Tristan had sent her a WhatsApp message.

It read: Do you need me to come over and lend you a hand?

Tristan knew she was going to Tanner Group that day to handle some trivial things. Initially, he wanted to accompany her, but she declined. Hence, he went to the office.

At the sight of Tristan's name, Sophie's heart promptly melted.

She replied: No, it's okay. I've already handled everything. I'll go over and look for you in a while.

She had been too busy recently that she hadn't had any time to spend with that boyfriend of hers. Now that she was free, she wanted to go and keep him company.

When Tristan learned that she would be coming over, his lips curved into a smile.

He texted: Okay. I'll be waiting for you, then.

He gazed at his phone lovingly. Seeing that, Tristan instantly knew who he was texting.

At the man's blissful expression, he couldn't help retreating to the side and sending Ysabelle a WhatsApp message.

I wonder if Belle misses me!

After Sophie had replied to the WhatsApp messages, she lifted her eyes and pinned them on Yale and Charmaine.

“Well? Have you made up your mind? Unlike her, I'm not as overbearing. I've given you enough time, yes?”

Yale quietly moved behind her.

He was really not that ambitious. Furthermore, he still needed financial support from her in the days to come.

Sophie's gaze alighted on Charmaine.

“What about you?”

She seems to have always sided with Willow!

“No matter what, Soph, she's your sister. Stop while you're ahead. Why must you take things so far?”

At the end of the day, Willow was still the daughter Charmaine had loved for the better half of her lifetime.

Hence, she really couldn't bear to see Willow being sent to a psychiatric nursing home.

“So, you've made your choice? All right, got it.”

Surprisingly, Charmaine shook her head and removed her hand from Willow's grasp.

“I'm sorry, Willa.” She was all too aware that she hadn't much capability. If Sophie no longer cared about her henceforth, she would have no way of surviving.
