Chapter 608
Taking in the expression on Victor''s face, Willow burst outughing. Sure enough, everything that man
said turned out to be true. Although we''ve no idea where Sophie is, what''s for sure is that she can''t
come back right now. It''s our golden opportunity, and we can''t let it slip through our fingers. If we do, we
might never get another like this again.
Yale was also gloating inwardly over Victor''s reaction. He said arrogantly, “What else do you have to
say now, Victor? I''m letting you know now that Tanner Group has fired you. From now on, you''re no
longer thepany''s general manager.”
“Do you seriously think that whatever you say goes? Old Mr. Tanner only passed away not long ago,
but you''ve already dug out a will from goodness knows where. Who knows whether it''s even real or
not?” Victor replied with a cold snort. Do they think that threats and intimidation will work on me?
“You''re wee to find someone to verify the will''s authenticity,” Willow responded confidently.
Yale had still felt a little guilty at first. However, seeing how Willow responded made his guilt evaporate
into thin air, and he even puffed up with pride.
Naturally, Victor knew of people who could verify the will''s authenticity and asked for their assistance
immediately. However, the results were not what he expected.
It turned out the will was authentic, and when the employees of Tanner Group learned of that, they
began discussing the matter among themselves.
Everyone knew what Tanner Group had achieved since Sophie took over thepany. s, the
situation had now taken an unexpected turn. They were not in the dark about how ipetent Yale
was, and they knew that their futures were almost certainly doomed if thepany fell back into his
hands.
“What should we do now?” Victor''s assistant asked, looking at him in bewilderment.
Tanner Group was thriving, and if Yale regained control over it, it was only a matter of time before
things went south.
“Don''t fret. Although the will''s authenticity has been verified, things may not be as they seem. Besides,
thepany belongs to Ms. Sophie.”
As long as she had yet to return, there was no saying how the matter would end.
The assistant could only nod in response andment, “It''s just a pity we can''t get in touch with her.”
If things go on as it is, it''ll truly mean the end of thepany.
ording to the will Yale had, he was now Tanner Group''s Chairman while Willow was the general
manager.
“Didn''t I always tell you to trust me, Dad? Look. You''re the Chairman of Tanner Group now, aren''t you?”
said Willow. If I want something, I''ll get my hands on it no matter what it takes. That goes without
question.
“You''re right. You''re the best!” Yale answered with a chuckle.
Then, she remarked glumly, “However, if Sophie suddenly shows up, she''ll never let us get away with
this. How wonderful it''d be if she never returned!”
He stared at her wordlessly.
Does that mean she wants to kill Sophie? Sophie is someone close to Tristan. Killing her will mean we
won''t be able to stay in Jipsdale anymore.
Still utterly terrified of Tristan, Yale cautioned, “Wi, we''ve already gotten Tanner Group, so we can''t
harm Sophie. If we do that now, Mr. Tristan will hunt us down.”
“I told you already. Sophie will want to take thepany away from us if she does return. That''s why
we must get rid of her,” Willow insisted. I can''t bear the thought of her still alive somewhere in this
world. I want her dead no matter what.
After a pause, she continued, “How many people in thepany actually ept you? Will you be able
to hold onto your position firmly if you don''t kill her?”

All they had was a will, and something like that was not going to guarantee any permanence in their
positions.
“Whatever it is, Sophie is still a Tanner. We shouldn''t take things too far. Anyway, your father''s right. Mr.
Tristan won''t spare us if something does happen to Sophie,” Charmaine piped up. Despite her dislike
for Sophie, she could not bring herself to kill thetter. On top of that, she also feared Tristan.
Willow was silent.
I don''t want to hear all this. How can one expect to get what one desires without being willing to take
some risks? There''s no such thing as a free lunch. Since they''re so scared, I''ll have to take matters into
my own hands. All I need to do is hire a hitman, which can''t be all that difficult, right? Just thinking
about how she beat me up, and in front of the help at that, makes me so mad! I must make her pay for
what she did.
At that moment, Yale led a few men over, intending to kick Victor out.
Seeing that, Victor could not help but feel amused.
“What''s the rush? Is Tanner Group yours just because you say so? Ms. Sophie isn''t back yet! It doesn''t
matter what sort of lies you fabricate. Everything will be clear once she returns. Besides, I have shares
in thepany too. Even if I''m no longer the general manager, you still have no right to kick me out,”
Victor uttered frostily. Who does Yale think he is, trying to throw me out? It''s absolutely ridiculous!
“You—” Yale began.
That''s true. Victor does own some shares. Well, it appears that Willow was right. As long as Sophie
lives, we''ll never be able to secure our positions in thispany.
Meanwhile, Felix informed Tristan immediately after receiving word of what had happened.
Tristan was quiet. I didn''t expect those three to be so bold. They''re aware of my rtionship with
Sophie, yet they still dare to do such a thing.
“What should we do, Mr. Tristan? Sophie is still researching the virus at the hospital and doesn''t have
time to step away.”
“Tell Victor to let those three fools have their few days in the sun. We''ll let them delude themselves into
thinking they have everything, then take it all away from them. Wouldn''t that be more interesting?”
Tristan replied. What the heck are they ying at? Do they think they can snatch things away from just
anyone?
“So, does that mean we''re turning a blind eye for now?”
“That''s right. Let them enjoy themselves for a few days,” Tristan responded. After all, it wouldn''t be
much fun to take thepany back just like that. It''ll be better to let Sophie do it herself. That''d be way
more exciting.
After a few days, Yale started feeling uneasy when he noticed that Tristan did not do anything to
retaliate.
Charmaine also thought it was strange.
“What do you guys think is going on? It''s impossible that he didn''t hear about it. Nheless, he''s just
standing by and doing nothing. Could he have broken up with Sophie?” she asked. In her mind, that
was the only usible exnation.
Willow nodded.
“Mom, do you believe in love? How can a man possibly be satisfied with loving just one woman for the
rest of their life, especially someone like Tristan? He probably treats women like Sophie as a ything
at most. Now that the novelty is gone, it''s only natural that he doesn''t give two hoots about what
happens to her.”
The mere thought of that filled her with glee. The day I''ve been waiting for is finally here. At longst,
Tristan has abandoned Sophie.
“If that''s the case, that''s great. Without Mr. Tristan, Sophie won''t be able to stir up much trouble
anymore. Our tides have finally turned!” Yale said in a contented tone.
