The matter kept on brewing. The majority of the people had animosity toward the rich andempathized with the weak. Especially Letitia’s last words. She hoped everyone would remember thatif anything happened to her, it was for the cause of justice.Someone posted: How pitiful! Letitiathought she could make a career in the entertainment industry after enrolling at the University ofCommunication. I bet she never thought things would turn out this way.A netizen wrote: Yeah, howcruel of the Tanner Group! Transfix Cosmetics had nearly destroyed the face of a girl who dependedon it to put food on her table. She was merely revealing the truth. How could they be so ruthless?One comment wrote: You don't know then. How can a girl survive in the entertainment industrywithout any backup?Another netizen posted: I'll boycott Transfix Cosmetics and all the other brandsunder the Tanner Group.Someone else wrote: That's right. I agree to boycott. Another netizencommented: Please release a statement, Tanner Group.Suddenly, a wave to boycott Tanner Groupswept the internet. Willow was thrilled at the news.Didn't Sophie think highly of herself? Let's seehow capable she is this time around.Sophie had just come out of class when she saw Willow waitingfor her.”l don’t want to waste my time on her, but why does she keep showing up in front ofme?"“That's because you're too pretty, Soph. That makes you a target of others’ jealousy.”Is theresomething to be happy about, Sophie? With you causing so much damage to the Tanner Group, doyou think Grandpa will still take your side?"“Ignore her, Soph.”“What's wrong? Wasn't that thetruth?”At that moment, Sophie's phone rang.”What's the matter, Grandpa? All right, got it. I'll comeover in the afternoon.”Willow's heart leaped up in joy at Sophie's words.“Let's see how long you canstay happy."I'm sure the reason Grandpa summoned her is related to today’s incident. He caresabout the name and image of Tanner Group the most. Sophie is a goner this time."Why is she actingall arrogant, Soph? She's not as pretty, her body is not as curvy, and even her brain isn't as smart asyou.”"You—"Willow was so furious that she couldn't come up with a retort."Laugh on! We'll see howlong you can laugh."Willow whirled around and left.I don't have to do anything but watch. Sophiehas to leave Tanner Group no matter the cost. Tanner Group is mine! There's no way she can takeanything from me.”Soph, are you all right? Should I ask for Felix’s help? He's close to the media.”“I'mfine. Let Letitia continue her act."It's better if this matter escalates even further.”All right, I trust you.No matter what our Sophie does, she'll do it well."Meanwhile, Felix was in Tristan’s office.”Mr.Tristan, are you sure you don't need me to interfere?” I don't understand what Mr. Tristan is thinking.Doesn't he care about Sophie a lot? Why is he acting this way now?“She can handle it."“Fine.” Whatelse can I do when Mr. Tristan is as cool as a cucumber?After classes let out, Willow was waiting togo back with Sophie.Once Sophie came out and saw Willow talking to the driver, she didn't want tospare another glance at her and turned to leave in another direction.”"What are you doing, Sophie?Grandpa asked me to take you back. Why are you running away?"Now you're scared? Don't havethe guts to face your family members?“Can“t I not go with you?”Sophie hailed a taxi, got in, andgave the driver the address without giving Willow any time to react."Dang!”Anger coursed throughWillow. Why is she so arrogant?“Let’s go, Ms. Tanner. We'll miss the show if we're late,” the driverreminded Willow."That's right! There's a good show today for sure. How can I miss it?"Back at theTanner residence, Yale was complaining to Josiah about Sophie.”Dad, look at this. Look at the messSophie has caused. The Tanner Group's share is still dropping.” Yale paced around the living roomagitatedly.”"That's right. Sophie is still a child. We can't let her risk the Tanner Group like this.”“Dad, Iknow I didn't manage Tanner Group well the past few years, but at least nothing as bad as thishappened while I was in charge.”“Are you done talking? The reason Sophie did what she did was forthe Tanner Group. Silence, all of you!"“Dad, I'm your son!” Am I that untrustworthy?Sophie heardYale badmouthing her the minute she stepped into the Tanner residence.”I'm back, Grandpa.”Sophieset her bag down on the couch.Yale could feel his anger grow the moment she appeared."What theheck are you doing, Sophie? I know you're still mad at us for abandoning you at Horington, but youcan't destroy the Tanner Group like this!"Yale was shouting so loudly that Sophie could hear ringingin her ears. She picked at her ear, trying to relieve the ringing.”You're too loud,” Sophie saidnonchalantly."You—" Anger coursed through Yale at her impassiveness. “Do you hate the Tannerfamily so much?"“Shut up, Yale!"Ever since Sophie came in, he could only hear Yale's voice.Yale satdown with a huff, the glare he gave Sophie was enough to kill her a thousand times over.Willow hadcome back at that time too. When she felt the tense atmosphere in the room, she smiledinside."Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'm back.""Go upstairs. This matter doesn't concern you."Charmainedidn't want Willow to hear anything about the matter and only wanted Willow to focus on herstudies, so she could get into a good university and make a career out of art."Okay."Willow obeyedobediently and went upstairs.However, the minute she was out of sight, she immediately hid in theback and stealthily eavesdropped on the conversation downstairs. How can I let such a goodopportunity go? I'm happy to listen to anyone criticizing Sophie.”Sophie, no matter what you do, Ibelieve you.” Since I've already transferred the twenty percent of shares to her, she has the right tomake all the decisions."Thank you, Grandpa.”Grandpa has always trusted me wholeheartedly. Nomatter how ridiculous the things I did are in other's eyes, Grandpa would still support me. Hiscomplete trust moved her."Dad, how can you still be like this at this point in time? The Tanner Groupis your blood, sweat, and tears. Can you bear to watch it fall into ruins?“Yale was simmering withanger at Josiah's attitude.”l see that you've gone truly senile.”"Are you done?” Sophie asked in achilling tone. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I know what I'm saying.”“It's good as long as you understandwhat you're doing. Stay for lunch.” The reason he summoned her was so that he could have lunchwith the whole family.He had always wanted to bridge the distance between the family members.However, no matter how much effort he put in, the others didn't take it to heart. He felt helpless athis failed attempts.”It's okay, Grandpa. I still have other things to do.”“Sophie, I'm warning you.Don't do anything that'll harm Tanner Group's benefit. Otherwise, don't blame me when I turnagainst you.” don't care who is it. I will not show mercy to the person that brings me loss, even ifthat person is my daughter. I'll treat her all the same.
