ytony,pletely spent, on the couch. He had never been in such a wretched state before, as he
had busied himself asking around for favors all day.
Willow didn''t dare utter a word as she kept himpany.
“yton, are you okay? Do you want some coffee?” This will be an excellent opportunity for me to get
on yton''s good side. I will be his only woman once he pulls himself together if I can show him the
love and support he needs now. I will have nothing to fear by then.
yton sat up and stared at Willow coldly.
“Who let you in?”
Willow shuddered.
What''s gotten into him? Why is he so scary?
“yton, I came over because I was worried about you. I don''t mean anything else!”
“You? Worry about me? Willow, do you know why I''m in such a state today?” yton''s temper red
up.
He had been running around asking for favors and licking boots all because of her.
“yton, I know it''s all because of Sophie. But I have nothing to do with her. I''m on your side.”
“Really?”
yton stood up, made his way over, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her toward him.
“You like me that much, huh? You wanna stay by my side, don''t you?” Of course, yton knew what
she was after.
Willow nodded.
“yton, I really like you. I will do whatever it takes to stay by your side,” she said determinedly.
“Is that so? Well, you can stay if you can trick Sophie over. You know how much of a pinch I''m in right
now. I can be with you once my problems are taken care of.” yton bit her lips.
Willow''s heart raced.
She knew that this was her only chance.
“All right, yton. I''ll do whatever you ask of me,” she said as an idea formed in her head.
“Show me your sincerity,” yton said gently. “I know you like me, but you''re just one of many. You
have to show me you''re the one who likes me most, right?”
Willow nodded.
“Okay, yton. I''ll show you how much I like you.”
Willow left at that.
yton scoffed, “Sophie? Hmph, we''ll see who has thestugh.” Does she think I''m a pushover? I''m
not letting her off that easily after everything she has done to me.
It had been a while since Sophie had visited Tanner Group because of her university entrance exam.
She took time out of her busy schedule to visit Tanner Group now that her university entrance exam
was over.

It hod been o while since Sophie hod visited Tonner Group becouse of her university entronce exom.
She took time out of her busy schedule to visit Tonner Group now thot her university entronce exom
wos over.
The board of directors of Tanner Group didn''t know that Sophie would being. However, everyone
was doing their job when she arrived.
Sophie was pleased with what she saw.
“Ms. Tanner!”
“Good day, Ms. Tanner!”
She was greeted by many of her employees along the way. One could say that business was
flourishing for Tanner Group.
Sophie made her way toward Victor''s office, only to find a youngdy making a fuss at the door.
“I want to see Victor. Where did he go? Get his ass over now!” the youngdy said arrogantly.
“Miss, Mr. White is not in. Please leave.” Victor''s secretary replied in a level tone.
“Let me get this straight with you. I''m pregnant, and the child belongs to Victor. I won''t leave this ce
if I don''t see him today!” the youngdy said shamelessly.
“Miss, this is Tanner Group, not a ce for you to fool around. Please leave!” Sophie walked over and
gave the youngdy a sharp look.
The youngdy immediately put her guard up when she saw Sophie.
“Who are you? What is your rtionship with Victor? Are you also his lover?”
Sophie furrowed her brows.
“Get her out of here!” she said to the secretary.
“Okay, Ms. Sophie. I''ll get the security over.”
“What are you trying to do? I''m telling you I''m pregnant. How dare youy a finger on me?” the young
lady said rudely. “I don''t care who you are. Victor is mine and mine alone. Don''t you even think of
snatching him away.”
“Ms. Tanner, she must have lost her mind. Why don''t you go in first? I''ll take care of things here!” The
secretary''s forehead was dotted with cold sweat.
He didn''t want to leave a bad impression on the CEO.
“Ms. Tanner?” The youngdy stared at Sophie in disbelief. She looks way younger than me. “You''re
Ms. Sophie from the Tanner family? Is Victor here because of you?”
That was the scene Victor saw when he returned from his meeting.
“Crystal, what are you doing here? Who told you toe here?”
Crystal Legrone immediately sidled up to Victor the moment sheid eyes on him.
“Mr. White, I''m pregnant, and the baby is yours. You must take responsibility!”
Victor''s face darkened.
“Ms. Tanner, you should go in first. I''ll be right with you.” Victor was rendered speechless. Is she here to
ruin my reputation after everything I have done for Tanner Group?
Sophie nodded.
She sat down on the couch in Victor''s office, pulled her phone out, and replied to a WhatsApp message
from Tristan.
Victor joined her after about ten minutes or so. He even made her a cup of coffee himself.
“Mr. White, I hope this doesn''t happen again in thepany. It''s not good for us.” Sophie went straight
to the point.
Victor immediately nodded.

“Don''t worry. It won''t happen again.”
“It''s not my ce to interfere with your private life, but it''s best if you don''t ruin Tanner Group''s
reputation.” She had taken over as Tanner Group''s CEO, and it was her responsibility to make sure
that Tanner Group measures up to Lombard Group. She would never allow herpany to be affected
because of such insignificant trivialities under her watch.
Who would have thought that someone as prominent as Victor would be so reserved and modest in
front of Sophie?
“Hand me the quarterly reports.”
It was time she nned Tanner Group''s future now that she had some time to spare.
Victor immediately asked his secretary to bring him the quarterly reports.
Overall, Tanner Group was growing but at a much slower pace. She would need her board of directors
to work even harder if they wanted to be the leading enterprise of Chanaea.
“Mr. White, do you have anything in mind for Tanner Group''s future?” Sophie asked out of the blue after
she was done with the quarterly reports.
“I hope Tanner Group will be the leading enterprise in Jipsdale!” He would never have applied to
be Tanner Group''s general manager if he hadn''t taken an interest in their business.
Sophie shook her head.
“What do you mean?” Victor asked, confused.
“That''s not enough. I want Tanner Group to be on par with Lombard Group and be a multinational
company that will create an impact!” This was her n for Tanner Group.
“Ms. Tanner, I''m afraid that''s not easy to achieve!” It wasn''t that Victor wanted to go against her will, but
it really was a difficult task.
