Chapter 237
Chapter 237 Capable Of Murder
“Keep dreaming.”
Yale did not expect that to happen.
“Let me tell you something, Sophie. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do when I’m backed up
against the wall. To think that your grandfather loves you so. How could you—”
“How dare you?”
You were the one who kidnapped Grandpa!
Sophie no longer paid him any mind. Instead, she called Butterfly.
“What is it, Phantom?” Butterfly asked, concerned because she was usually the one to
seek Phantom out. Could something have happened for Phantom to make contact
this time?
“Locate my grandfather, and send a team to bring him back.” Sophie’s tone made it
clear that her order was not to be questioned.
“All right.”
Whenever Sophie spoke in that tone, it was a sign she was trying her best to control
her emotions.
Still feeling uneasy after hanging up, Sophie made another call to Tristan.
“What is it?” Tristan had been waiting for her call and, upon receiving it, thought the
shareholders’ meeting had ended.
“I would like to ask for a favor, Mr. Tristan.” Though she wanted more than anything to
search for Josiah herself, Sophie had promised the old man to assume the position of
CEO, which was why she could not leave as she pleased.
“What is it?” Though her tone was no different than usual, he felt his heart ache upon
hearing her voice.
“Yale took Grandpa away. Could you bring him back for me, please?” Sophie did not
realize how much calmer she became after hearing Tristan’s voice.
“All right. I will get it done,” Tristan promised. “Don’t worry. I will personally carry this
out and bring Old Mr. Tanner to you once the shareholder meeting ends.”
“Hmm.”
She might not believe anybody else, but she hadplete faith in Tristan.
She knew he was capable and would get it done for her sake.
“All right, don’t fret about it. I’ll bring him back.”
After assuring her, Tristan hung up and got to his feet, with Felix following suit.
“Did something happen, Mr. Tristan?” Felix asked curiously.
“Yale is up to no good. He kidnapped Old Mr. Tanner.”
“What?” Felix was stunned. “That old fox, Yale, kidnapped his father to threaten his
daughter? What has the worlde to?”
“Enough. Have somebody find out Old Mr. Tanner’s current location.”
As he had already promised Sophie, he was going to bring Josiah back no matter the
cost.
“All right. Rest assured, Mr. Tristan. I will keep you informed promptly.”
Having met much more formidable andplex adversaries than Yale, Felix was not
concerned at all.
Tristan was still not assured. “Make haste. There cannot be any mistake.
Understood?”
As long as it pertained to Sophie, I must do it well. I do not want anything to upset
Sophie.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Tristan. What haven’t I encountered after all these years by your
side?” Mr. Tristan was not even that nervous when Ysabelle was kidnapped!
Tristan gave Felix a look which thetter hastily took as his cue to leave.
“All right, understood. I’ll have somebody poke around.”
Tristan knew despite Yale’s deranged and reckless actions, he would not bring harm
to his own father. Thetter’s reason for doing so was to force Sophie to forfeit herself
from the election.
Only by bringing Old Mr. Tanner home will I ease Sophie’s worries.
Meanwhile, Yale was awaiting Sophie’s answer in Tanner Group.
“Old Mr. Tanner loves you so much, Sophie. You wouldn’t turn a blind eye to his
survival, would you? I will have Old Mr. Tanner returned home without a scratch if you
give up this opportunity.”
Sophie’s gaze were like ciers.
Her hands clenched involuntarily into fists.
“Aren’t you ashamed of saying such a thing, Yale? Grandpa has always been good to
you. As his son, how could you have such thoughts?”
“Good to me? He would not have snatched Tanner Group from my hands if he were
good to me. Do you think I want to do this? I’ve been driven to desperation by you all!”
Who would do such a sick thing? If they had not forced me to the edge, I definitely
wouldn’t.
“Since you dared do such a thing for your own greed, Yale, I, too, will dare send you
to prison.” I am not going to amodate him anymore.
Yale was rendered speechless.
He did not expect her to remain steadfast even up to that point.
“Are you going to disregard Old Mr. Tanner’s life for Tanner Group?”
Yale, confident that victory was within his grasp, became suddenly unsure.
Sophie does not look as if she is going to cooperate. What does she mean by this
now?
Victor arrived at that moment. The shareholders had already arrived at a conclusion,
and it was time they headed in.
“Let’s go! It’s time,” he announced before noticing Sophie’s cold expression. Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
I wonder what she and Yale were talking about?
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Victor asked in concern.
Sophie shook her head.
Tristan will help me with this, so it is not necessary to inform Victor of this.
“I want to be your ally, Sophie. You must tell me if there’s anything important.”
No matter what it is, I would do it without hesitation as long as it was within my
capacity.
“Thank you, but it really is not necessary. Aside from Tristan, I cannot trust anybody
else.”
“I meant what I said. I want to fight side by side with you.” He even conceded running
for election to show her his resolve.
“Hmm. Noted.”
Yale panicked as Sophie and Victor made to depart andpletely ignored him.
What is going on with Sophie? Doesn’t she care whether the old man lives or not?
Tanner dashed over and grabbed Sophie’s arm. It was the final straw. Unable to
tolerate her father another second longer, she whipped around and grabbed Yale by
the throat.
Despite struggling with all his might, Yale could not muster even an ounce of strength.
Sophie stood before him. Though she was several inches shorter than him, the aura
emanating from her was terrifying.
Yale panicked and iled his arms madly as the feeling of suffocation descended
upon him.
He did not dare believe Sophie was capable ofying a finger on him.
I am her father, and she is doing this before an outsider. Isn’t she afraid of what
people would think of her?
“You shouldn’t have threatened me with Grandpa, Yale.” She might have tolerated it if
it were anybody else, but she could not do so when it came to Josiah.
Yale continued to struggle and was suddenly lifted off the ground by Sophie.
Victor, who was usually ruthless, was also stunned by Sophie’s actions at that
moment.
What is going on here? This girl looks terrifying right now. Even I can sense the
murderous, bloodthirsty aura emanating from her. Is she really going to kill her own
father?
