Chapter 999


    Chapter 999 Taking the Lead


    Angelina waspletely taken aback. She never expected Yale to act so timidly in front of Sophie.


    He’s never said that in my presence before. He used to im that he had the final say in Tanner Group.


    What about now? The reality cannot be more different.


    “Yale, you lied to me! Didn’t you say that once I give birth to our child, Tanner Group will belong to


    him?” At this point, Angelina was willing to burn all bridges.


    Sophie nced at Yale. Tanner Group will be hers? Is she dreaming? The others also thought that


    Angelina had no shame.


    What gave this mistress the audacity to behave so brazenly?


    “Enough! Shut up!” Yale’s anger red up. “If you don’t get lost now, don’t me me for being forceful.”


    Yale had always kept his affair hidden from Sophie. Nevertheless, Angelina had now made it public


    knowledge.


    “Soph, I…” Yale tried to exin himself, not wanting to lose thefortable life he had now.


    However, under Sophie’s cold gaze, he couldn’t find the words to speak.


    “Don’t worry! I will handle this matter. No one can threaten the fact that Tanner Group is yours.” After


    saying that, Yale dragged Angelina away:


    “Why are you all staring? Don’t you have work to do?” said Carl when he noticed that the others were


    still lingering.


    After hearing his words, no one dared to continue staring. They promptly returned to their tasks.


    “Ms. Sophie, the meeting is about to begin. Shall we go upstairs?” Carl remained deferential in front of


    Sophie and avoided direct eye contact.


    “Yes. Let’s go!”


    Sophie proceeded directly to the conference room. When everyone saw that she would be chairing the


    meeting, they all perked up.


    Although some of them might have underestimated her abilities in the past, they had since realized


    how terrifyingly capable she was after several major meetings.


    Regardless of what the project was about, she could detect even the tiniest loopholes.


    “Mr. White has been feeling unwelltely, so I will handle thepany’s affairs in the time being. Let’s


    proceed as usual!”


    Sophie wasted no time and got straight to business. There was no need for pretentious speeches.


    While the managers from the project department reported on their progress, Sophie listened attentively


    and asionally jotted down notes in her notebook.


    After they finished speaking, shepiled a list of problems and delivered a concise summary.


    “I understand that everyone has been working hardtely, so take a break when it’s appropriate. While


    Tanner Group is bing increasingly sessful, I don’t want its sess toe at the expense of


    your well-being. After the meeting, make necessary amendments to the issue. If there aren’t any


    problems, just adhere to the proposals.”


    “Don’t worry, Ms. Sophie. We will give it our all!” Regardless of how exhausted everyone in Tanner


    Group was, hope was still in sight for them.


    Hence, they were highly motivated.


    “Okay, get back to work!”


    Carl had been attentively listening at the side. Once again, he marveled at Sophie’s abilities. Even


    though it had been quite some time since she returned to the office, she managed all the tasks with


    ease and efficiency.


    “Is there anything else?” Sophie asked when she saw Carl following her out.


    He quickly shook his head.


    “No, but it’s already lunchtime. What would you like to eat? I can go and buy it for you,” offered Carl.


    Ms. Sophie probably isn’t used to cafeteria food, right?


    “Thank you, but I’ll eat at the cafeteria today.” It had been a while since Sophie had gone to the


    company) If she wanted her staff to work well, she had to address the staff’s dining situation first.


    “Ms. Sophie, are you sure you want to go to the cafeteria?”


    “Why not? Is there a problem? Is the cafeteria food really that bad?”


    “No, Ms. Sophie. The cafeteria food is actually quite good. It’s really delicious,” guaranteed Carl.


    Compared to the otherpanies around, their cafeteria food was genuinely delicious. He was just


    worried that she might not be ustomed to it.


    “In that case, it’s settled. It’s already lunchtime, so you should also go and eat.”


    “Okay, Ms. Sophie.” Carl refrained from saying anything further.


    At that moment, Tristan called Sophie.


    “Are you done with work?” Knowing that she had been at Tanner Group all day, he decided toe


    and find her.


    “Yes, I’m done. I’m nning to have lunch in the cafeteria. Would you like to join me?”


    “Sure, I’ll be there soon. Wait for me in the office.” Tristan was already parking his car. After he was


    done, he headed directly to the CEO’s office to meet her.


    Sophie was already prepared to leave.

    When he arrived, they headed to Tanner Group’s staff cafeteria together.


    The employees of Tanner Group were taken aback by the sight of Sophie bringing Tristan to the staff


    cafeteria for lunch.


    The two of them seemed like such powerful and lofty individuals, as if they belonged to a separate


    world from the rest.


    To have these high-profile individuals joining them for a meal felt quite strange.


    Although there were numerous rumors about Tristan in Jipsdale, very few people had actually seen him


    in person.


    “Ms. Sophie’s boyfriend is so handsome! He’s just my type!”


    “Well, you consider anyone good-looking to be your type. Still, I must admit that Ms. Sophie’s boyfriend


    looks incredible.”


    Unaware of the attention they were attracting, the two of them picked up the trays and got themselves


    some food like everyone.


    Tanner Group’s staff cafeteria operated on a self-serve buffet system. People could choose any food


    they wanted with no restrictions on how much they took.


    After surveying the avable options, Sophie was quite satisfied. The dishes were well-prepared and


    appetizing.


    Once they had taken their food, they found a table and settled down.


    “How is it? As the CEO of Lombard Group, do you have any suggestions for our staff cafeteria?” asked


    Sophie, genuinely interested in Tristan’s feedback.


    “It’s already quite good. Ever since you arrived, Tanner Group has been flourishing. You’ve done an


    excellent job. If your grandfather knew about this, he would be delighted too.”


    She was already doing a great job.


    “Really?” Sophie always wished for Tanner Group to continue prospering. In that case, she would not


    disappoint her grandfather. After all, Tanner Group was her grandfather’s lifelong endeavor.


    “Yes, I mean it. I believe that within five years, Tanner Group will be one of the toppanies.”


    That was how capable Sophie was.


    If she chose not to do anything, everything would still be perfectly fine. However, once she set her mind


    to something, there was nothing she couldn’t aplish.


    It all depended on one’s capabilities, and Sophie had always been an extremely capable person.
