Pursuing Her

Chapter 998 Death Wish 

Sophie headed to Tanner Group the next day. When she arrived at the CEO’s office, Victor’s other secretary, Carl Himmer, approached her immediately.

“Ms. Sophie, we heard that Mr. White got injured. Are his injuries serious?” he asked worriedly.

“He’s fine. Bring the urgent tasks to me. I’ll take over Mr. White’s tasks for the next few days. If there are any problems, feel free to come directly to me.”

“Sure, Ms. Sophie. Here are today’s work priorities. We have a meeting scheduled in the morning and a golf game with Starlight International’s CEO in the afternoon.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Howard Lynder, the CEO of Starlight International, was the culprit responsible for injuring Victor and his secretary. He was a downright gangster,

“Got it. Remind me when the time comes. What are the topics to be discussed during the morning meeting? Bring me the necessary documents.”

As those tasks did not pose a huge difficulty to her, she could adapt to them quickly.

After Carl passed her the documents, he left to attend to his own duties. However, barely half an hour later, someone started to kick up a ruckus at the company’s entrance.

Carl rushed down after hearing about it.

“What’s happening?” Ms. Sophie is here today, so we can’t afford any disruptions. What on earth are they doing?

“Let me in! Do you even know who I am? I am Yale’s girlfriend. I’m pregnant with the Tanner family’s child. My child owns part of Tanner Group too!”

The person creating such a huge commotion was Yale’s lover.

The onlookers exchanged bewildered glances. None of them expected such an incident to occur on the day that Sophie was there.

“Ma’am, it doesn’t matter who you are. This is Tanner Group. You neither work here nor have an appointment. Therefore, you cannot enter.”“

“You… Let me make one thing clear. I’m pregnant with your chairman’s son. If any of you dare to lay a hand on me or harm my child, you’ll regret it!” Angelina Yandell’s voice reverberated with anger.

As a woman in her early twenties, her sole reason for being involved with an old man like Yale during the prime of her youth was Tanner Group.

She had merely come to assert her rights, yet those people showed her no respect. Didn’t Yale tell me that all of Tanner Group belongs to him?

The security guards were taken aback.

What is Mr. Tanner doing? Doesn’t he know how bad this seems? What’s the point of this?

“One of you, call Mr. Tanner and ask him to take her away. We must not let Ms. Sophie find out about this.” Carl quickly made the appropriate arrangements

It was far from desirable for Angelina to cause such a scene there.

Undoubtedly, it would affect Tanner Group’s reputation greatly.

The security guard immediately called Yale. However, no one answered.

“Mr. Himmer, what should we do now? No one’s answering the call.” More and more onlookers gathered, with some even taking out their phones to record the scene.

After all, everyone was interested in these prominent families.

“Ma’am, Mr. Tanner is currently not in the company. Regardless of what you’re here for, it’s best if you go back first. I’m serious. Causing a scene like this is not beneficial to anyone.”

Angelina furrowed her brow.

“Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to speak to me like this? Also, how am I causing a scene? I’m simply here to look at what belongs to me!” Angelina had already regarded Tanner Group as her own.

“You…” Carl was driven to fury by her. What’s up with Mr. Tanner’s judgment? Why did he choose someone like her? He has absolutely zero taste!

“Mr. Himmer, should we inform Ms. Sophie about this?”

Carl felt a throbbing headache.

He dialed Yale’s number again, but no one answered.

Meanwhile, Sophie had already learned about the situation and arrived downstairs.

Angelina also knew that Sophie now held the reins of Tanner Group. However, considering herself as capable as Sophie, she couldn’t accept it. She had a clear goal-taking control of Tanner Group.

Her goal in causing a scene there was to secure herself a job at Tanner Group. She wanted to prepare her child to take over Tanner Group in the future.

Yet, in the presence of Sophie, she found herself at a loss for words.

“So, you are Angelina?” Sophie’s cold stare sent shivers down Angelina’s spine.

Angelina faltered, unable to formulate a response.

“You want Tanner Group, huh?” Sophie was a very astute woman. Naturally, she could instantly discern Angelina’s intentions of going there.

Having her motives exposed so blatantly, Angelina was unsure of how to reply.

“No, I’m just feeling unwell. I came to see your father.” Angelina was resolved. Since she had already gone there, she intended to assert her rights and make her presence known to everyone.

She no longer wished to be an invisible figure.

“As a mistress, what gives you the audacity to come here and confront me?” demanded Sophie directly.

Angelina’s face paled at once.

“What did you say? No matter what, I’m still your elder. How can you speak to me like this?” she rebuked furiously.

Sophie’s also in her early twenties. What’s so impressive about her? She’s just born with a silver spoon in her mouth. What gives her the right to look down on others?

“Elder? How old are you? What makes you an elder? Mr. Himmer, call the police and inform them that there’s a homewrecker here! Let the authorities handle it.”

“You…” Angelina hadn’t anticipated this turn of events.

She assumed that since she was carrying Yale’s child, the outcome would be different. No matter what, the Tanner family would still show some courtesy toward her.

However, she did not expect them to completely disregard her unborn child.

“Got it, Ms. Sophie.” Carl promptly dialed the police. Yeah! She’s just a mistress. What gave her the courage to cause such a commotion here? What right does she have?

Angelina clutched her stomach, not expecting them to call the police.

In the meantime, Yale found out that Angelina had gone to the company. When he rushed over and spotted Sophie there, his expression changed.

Haven’t I treated Angelina well enough? Has she grown tired of her peaceful life? Does she have a death wish?

When Angelina saw Yale coming, she swiftly adopted a pitiful façade.

“Yale, didn’t you say…”

“What did I say? Who permitted you to come here, Angelina? Scram!” He still needed to rely on Sophie to continue his extravagant lifestyle.

Does this b*tch have a death wish?
