Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 700 Do Not Draw A Line

The moment someone started, others would follow suit. At that very instant, a few other shareholders also sold their shares.

Victor bought some of their shares, but he did not have sufficient funds to buy all their shares.

Others began to have doubts when they learned about the situation at Tanner Group. Victor knew that Sophie had yet to make a full recovery. Therefore, he dared not inform her about the situation in the company because he did not want to affect her.

Unfortunately, he was unable to resolve the issue on his own.

In the end, he had no choice but to call Tristan. Tristan had given him his phone number when they last met.

Victor did not expect it to come in handy.

“What did you say?” Tristan could not believe his ears.

“Some of the shareholders are starting to offload their shares right now. I don't have the financial means to buy all the shares.”

If that continued, it would have an adverse effect on Tanner Group.

“All right. I understand. We'll buy whatever is being sold by them.” That was not even a problem for Tristan.

“Mr. Tristan, how is Ms. Sophie?” asked Victor. He was also very concerned about Sophie, but things at Tanner Group had kept him so busy that he was unable to visit her.

“She's doing much better now. Don't worry. If you need any help, look for Sean. He will do everything he can to help you out.”

Tanner Group was everything to Josiah. Since he had left Tanner Group to Sophie, they would make sure that everything would be fine.

“All right then. I understand. Please get some rest yourself too.”

Victor was more relieved once he received Sean's phone number.

Usually, Victor was a swift and decisive man.

But since he did not have enough cash right now, he had to ask for help.

When Tristan returned with a grim expression, Sophie asked with concern, “What's wrong? Did something happen?”

Everything was fine a while ago. Why is he looking like this now?

“It's nothing. Just some minor issues. Don't worry about it.”

“Did something happen to Tanner Group?” Sophie asked calmly.

When she went on the Internet earlier on, she saw the rise and fall of the Tanner Group's shares.

“Yes, there are some minor problems. But I have already sent Sean to keep an eye on things. With him around, you don't have to worry about anything.”

“Yes, I know.”

Even so, Sophie still gave Victor a call.

When Victor received her phone call, he was confused.

“Ms. Sophie, how did you find out about this?” He had wanted to keep the matter away from her. After all, she had yet to make a full recovery.

“Well, the news would get to me somehow. Since the shareholders want to sell their shares, just buy the shares. I'll get someone to transfer the funds to you in a short while,” instructed Sophie nonchalantly.

Most shareholders were like that. When the company made a profit, anything was fine with them. At the slightest sign of trouble, they would be the first to bail because they were unwilling to bear the risk.

“Ms. Sophie, Mr. Tristan has already—”

“It's fine. I have the money. I will buy all of their shares!” Tanner Group meant a lot to her grandpa. She did not wish to involve Tristan in company matters.

“All right! Have a good rest.”

In truth, Victor was a little worried. He was aware that Sophie was very powerful. However, it would take a huge sum of money to buy all of those shares.

He was unsure of what to do as he blanked out. A while later, he received a bank transfer notification on his phone, which stunned him.

Does Ms. Sophie have that much money? She has transferred five hundred million in one go! It's incredible!

Victor dared not believe his own eyes. After rubbing his eyes, he looked again. True enough, she had transferred five hundred million.

Ms. Sophie is a wealthy lady!

Even if Sophie lost Tanner Group, she would be able to own any company, given the amount of money she had.

Does this mean that I have found the right backer?

“With all this money, why should I give a d*mn about the shareholders?” In the future, Victor was sure that those shareholders would regret their decisions.

Someday, Tanner Group would definitely be on par with Lombard Group. By then, those shareholders would surely regret their short-sightedness.

Sophie only put her phone down once she was done with the bank transfer. Since Tristan was by her side, he knew what she had been up to!

He looked unhappy. “I have already gotten someone to transfer money over, haven't I? My money is your money. Why do you have to draw a line between us?”

He disliked that attitude of hers. After all, the two of them planned to be together for the rest of their lives!

“Don't be angry! I know you have money, but so do I! Grandpa has worked hard for Tanner Group. I must bring the company to greater heights. Therefore, before that happens, I hope to resolve all of the company's problems on my own.”

The company was her pride.

Since she had the ability to resolve the problem, there was no need to seek help from others.

Tristan was still unhappy after hearing her explanation.

He did not wish for her to draw the line so clearly between the two of them.

“Are you still mad at me?”
