Chapter 18 Transfer Of Shares

Louisa threw a glance at Willow who was in a daze."Willow, isn't that your sister? She's more of atroublemaker than she was five years ago!"“Yea.” Willow felt lousy. Since they were children, it hadalways been like that. People always praised Sophie for her beauty. As for her, she would only beSophie's accessory.Louisa became interested. “Who is that man she’s with? He's so handsome.”have no idea.” Willow also wanted to know the identity of that man and how he was related toSophie. It was Willow's goal to marry into a wealthy family, but she did not want her younger sisterto surpass her in that aspect.”I'll go back home now. My driver is still waiting for me.”After biddingLouisa goodbye, Willow got into the Mercedes-Benz. However, with the thought of Sophie sitting inthe Lamborghini that cost a few million, Willow felt depressed. Other than having a pretty face,there was nothing so great about Sophie!Willow was better than her younger sister in every aspectexcept for her looks, and she felt extremely inferior.Once they had arrived at their destination,Tristan asked Sophie, “Will you be going back to Wisteria Apartments tonight?”“Yes.” She dislikedstaying at the Tanner residence. The only reason she agreed to come for dinner was because of hergrandpa.“Once you are done, let me know. I'll come and pick you up.”“There's no need. I can goback on my own.""Enough. Go on in!” Tristan refused to hear any more of it.Sophie had no choicebut to nod in agreement. She knew Tristan did it out of concern, and to be honest, she did not mindbeing near him.Tristan drove off in the silver Lamborghini.On the way to the Tanner residence,Willow saw the Lamborghini and quickly wound down her window to catch a glimpse of the mandriving it. However, the car windows of the Lamborghini were tinted for privacy, so she failed to seeanything.Once the black Mercedes-Benz arrived at the Tanner residence, Willow got out of the carand saw Sophie outside the house too.”"Who was that man just now?"Sophie could not be botheredwith Willow. The moment the housekeeper heard the voices, she opened the door. Sophie walked inimmediately.Seeing that Sophie was giving her cold shoulders, Willow was furious.”Sophie, whatkind of attitude is that? I'm your older sister, and I don't want you to get cheated on by others.Nowadays, there are many men who rent luxurious cars in an attempt to fool young girls. Don't fallfor it."“Thank you for your concern, but I can take care of myself.” If that advice had come fromsomeone else, Sophie might have believed them.Since it came from Willow, it meant nothing but ajoke to her.Willow was the only person in the whole world who wished her ill. As the two sistersentered the house, they saw that Josiah was already downstairs. Their dad had also just returnedhome.”Dad, you're back.” When Willow saw her father, she got emotional and rushed up to embracehim. “Dad, I missed you so much."Yale returned the hug.”How is your study? You must work hardnow that the university entrance exam is coming soon.””Dad, don't worry! I'm always one of the topfive students in my level. I will certainly get into Jipsdale University.” Knowing that her fatherpreferred intelligent children, Willow had always been very hardworking.Obviously, Yale noticedSophie too, but she had been a disgrace to him five years ago. He was truly unhappy to seeher."What are you doing back here? Haven't you humiliated yourself enough?”Yale was a doting andloving father to Willow. On the contrary, he was extremely harsh with Sophie and treated her withdisdain.Josiah roared in anger, “I'm the one who allowed Soph to come here. What's wrong? Do Ihave no say in this family?” He could not believe the way they treated Sophie when he was stillalive. Imagine when I am dead and gone!Sophie walked up to Josiah and rubbed his back to calmhim down.”Grandpa, don't be angry. It isn't good for your health.”"Dad, I know you have spoiled hersince she was young. But, this time, she has really made a mistake.”“So what? Yale, have you neverever done anything wrong before in your life?"Yale was dumbfounded.”Dad, don't be upset.Grandpa loves Soph very much. That's all,” said Willow thoughtfully.“Fine. Let's eat.” There wasnothing Yale could do when it came to his father.”Soph, come and sit next to me.” With that, Josiahimmediately pulled Sophie to the seat next to him.Yale, Willow, and Charmaine also sat down.Thefamily began to have their dinner in silence Everyone was unhappy about something. Theatmosphere was nowhere cordial.Nearing the end of the dinner, Josiah spoke up. “I have askedSoph to come here today, but it isn't only to have dinner."The other three eyed Josiah with interest.Only Sophie was nonchalant.”l still own twenty percent of the shares of Tanner Group. I intend togive it all to Soph so that she will be taken care of as well.”“Dad, what are you talking about? Howcan you give your shares to Sophie?""That's right, Dad! Soph is still young. If she sells the sharesthat you give to her, that will be bad for Tanner Group."Willow did not expect Josiah to give all of hisshares to Sophie."Grandpa, please don't be impulsive.”I'm also his granddaughter. Why doesn't hegive me anything? Why does Grandpa always favor Sophie since we were young? Haven't I doneenough over the years?I have worked so hard to become a socialite just to please him. But, themoment Sophie appears, everything is as just before. Nothing has changed. Why?Josiah wasgenuinely upset. “The shares belong to me, and I can give them to whoever I want. It breaks myheart to see the way all of you treat Soph."“Dad, the shares of Tanner Group are important andshouldn't be treated like child's play.” Yale still disagreed with his father's decision.”Soph, saysomething!” Charmaine turned her attention onto Sophie. As long as Sophie refused to accept theshares, there was nothing Josiah could do about it.“What do you want me to say?"“Did you saysomething to your grandpa? Do you know how to run a company? What's the point of you owningany shares?” Charmaine was outraged that Sophie was fighting for power and money at such ayoung age."Sophie, back then, you were the one who shamed the Tanner family. How dare you stillhave the cheek to demand the shares of Tanner Group?” Yale could not bear to give those twentypercent of shares to his younger daughter.Sophie sneered. That was how scared they were of herowning those shares.Am I still part of the family as far as they are concerned? They guard me as ifthey are guarding against an enemy.”Well, initially, I have no intention of taking any share of TannerGroup. But since all of you don’t want me to have them, I will accept the shares. Grandpa, thankyou."Her words infuriated Yale and Charmaine to the extreme.However, Sophie did not even botherto look at them at all.“I'll get the lawyer to handle this next Monday. You should come by the housetoo. I'll get the driver to send you back now."Knowing that Sophie did not like to be there, Josiahhad no wish to force her to stay on. She must be very disappointed with this family!“"Grandpa, I cango back on my own. You have better take an early rest.” Sophie then got up. She refused to haveany eye contact with the other three Josiah also made his way upstairs. How did the family becomelike this?"Dad, Grandpa meant what he said, didn’t he?” Willow was in disbelief.”Concentrate and dowell in your studies. I have already paved the way for you. Once Mason from the Laird family is back,you have better put on a good show.” Yale could only rely on Willow right now.Sophie’s reputationwas beyond salvation. There was no way to help her. As for Willow, Yale must make sure that shegot into high society so that the Tanner family could enjoy a more esteemed status.
