Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 647

“Goodness gracious! What do we do now? Was Ms. Sophie arrested, too?”

Given that those people were from the Department of Justice, one would really be put behind bars if there was a problem.

“With Mr. White taken away and no one at the helm, what should we do?” The executives were thrown into utter desperation.

“Enough! Everyone, stay calm. We don't know much about it yet, so there's very little point in worrying. We should get back to our posts and do what we're supposed to do.”

At that point, they could only go with the flow.

“Why don't we contact Mr. Yale? After all, he's Ms. Sophie's dad!” someone suggested.

That would make sense, for Yale would probably have some inside scoop on the matter.

“Yale? Forget it. We all know how tactless he has always been. Having him around will bring us nothing but trouble.”

Upon hearing that remark, the person perished the thought.

Besides, Sophie was more than capable to tackle anything thrown her way, so there should not be a problem.

Meanwhile, Sophie was brought to the Department of Justice. The officer who dealt with her, however, was not very cordial.

Witnessing Sophie's nonchalant mien even when she had been apprehended, the officer was livid.

“Since you're already sitting here, you ought to be cooperative with the investigation. Or else—”

At long last, Sophie looked up at the officer.

“Are you threatening me right now? How am I not cooperative? Just question me about anything you want to know. You need not resort to threats.”

She had always disliked being threatened.

Having to deal with those legal professionals, she was anything but afraid of them.

“We've received a report asserting that Tanner Group has been evading taxes, and it has amounted to five hundred million. To top it off, this only came about after you inherited the company. What do you have to say for yourself?”

“Aren't you the one working for the legal authorities?”

“What do you mean?” Why's she keeping up this kind of attitude? Doesn't she have any fear at all? “You do know you're at the Department of Justice, right? How could you still be so arrogant?”

“Me? Arrogant? Technically speaking, we, the taxpayers, are the ones who've been paying you your salary. Now that someone has reported us for tax evasion, you guys should back up the claim with evidence. Are you expecting me to dig into my own company files and hand over the proof myself?”

How laughable!

“Hah! Of course, we have incriminating evidence against you, which was why we even brought you here in the first place. Continue putting on a tough front all you want! I've seen more than enough people like you!”














































Never had anyone been willing to admit their crimes right at the start when they were detained at the Department of Justice.

Each one of them had acted all high and mighty.

Even so, they were still done for at the end of the day.

Such is the natural law of this world. More often than not, it was only fair for sinful men to be punished.

“Oh, really? Then show me the evidence you've got. I'll definitely cooperate with you,” said Sophie indifferently.

She figured that someone must be trying to frame Tanner Group.

In order to do that, the perpetrator must have orchestrated a grand scheme. In that case, Sophie had to put on a show just as well.

I shouldn't disappoint them now, should I?

During the interim, Victor had also been taken to the Department of Justice, but he was confined to another interrogation room.

Knowing that Sophie had also been brought there for questioning, Victor could not help but worry about that woman. As a grown man, he did not mind going through a tribulation like that.

Still, he reckoned that a lady like Sophie must not have experienced such events before.

She must feel all alone and helpless right now.

After the questioning had been on for some time, Victor put forward a request to meet Sophie.

“I want to see the chairwoman of Tanner Group. I believe this isn't too much to ask for. Besides, since she's already here, I'll need to see her.”

“You're here to assist in the investigation, Mr. White, so you'd better not push your luck.”

Considering that Tanner Group had been put under investigation, there was no way the officer would allow Victor to have contact with Sophie.

“Push my luck? I'm making a valid request here,” insisted Victor. He was a worldly man, after all.

In the entirety of Jipsdale, the vast majority of the people would show Victor some respect. Yet, the officer had been nothing less than discourteous toward him.

Toleration was no longer an option for him at that point.
