Changing Only For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 162

 

Chapter 162 I Will Take Responsibility For Any Damages Incurred

Constance seemed to be very proud of herself when she mentioned the engagement.

She thought there was no way Josiah would turn her down now that she brought the engagement up, but the old man’s face fell sunken the moment he heard that.

Mason and Willow were indeed engaged.

“Old Mr. Tanner, Mason is part of your family too. Why don’t you just help him out a little? You know how Willow is crazy about him, right? She must be heartbroken now that Mason is in this state.”

Josiah still did not understand what was she trying to get at. Well, what happened to Mason is not our fault. Besides, it’s not like we’re able to do anything for him.

“Mrs. Laird, I really don’t understand what you are trying to say, but no matter what it is you would like to convey, I don’t have the solutions you’re looking for, so please leave.”

“You can’t help me, but your granddaughter can. She’s good friends with Dr. Gullifer. He will definitely help Mason if she asks him to.”

Constance looked at her in anticipation, hoping Sophie would crack under the pressure of Josiah’s presence.

The old man finally understood why Constance came to visit.

“Grandpa, you should get some rest already.” Sophie finally broke the silence. “You’ve heard enough nonsense.”

“All right.” Josiah played along readily. Constance had always been rude to Sophie, and Josiah took it to heart, so it was obvious to the old man that Sophie would not grant Constance the favor. She must really think we owe her.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Laird. As you can see, I’m not feeling very good myself. I really need to be well-rested for the surgery tomorrow. Please make a move if you have nothing else to say.”

“Hey—” Constance finally lost it. “Do you not understand what I said? The Tanners used to suck up to us to get all kinds of benefits. Don’t tell me you’re turning your back on us now that things are not looking good for us. You should know better.” Constance lashed out at Josiah without holding back, forgetting that she was there to plead her case.

Josiah smirked at her remarks.

“You know what, I don’t care what went on between you and Yale. I couldn’t care less. As for you, I hope you know your place. You’re not the boss here, so stop acting like one.” Josiah decided it was time he toughened up against the woman.

“What did you just say?” Constance shook in fury when Josiah showed her his true color, but she still tried to compose herself.

I would’ve let you have a taste of your own medicine if I weren’t here to ask for a favor.

“Old Mr. Tanner, you were around since Mason was still a child. Don’t tell me you feel nothing for him now that he is in this state. Do you really want to see him ruined?” Constance questioned.

“As for Sophie…” Constance stopped and softened her tone. “I was wrong for trying to split you and Mason up. I promise I will not stand in the way anymore if he recovers.” This was the first time Constance swallowed her pride in front of Sophie.

Tristan was angered when he heard her proposal.

What is she even thinking? Sophie and Mason? Over my dead body! He’s already out of the game a long, long time ago.

“Mrs. Laird,” Sophie snapped. “Do you really think I like Mason all this while?”

Constance suddenly felt the tables were not turning for good.

“Sophie, I mean it when I say I’m sorry. Please, help me. Even if you no longer feel anything for him, you should still help him for old time’s sake.”

“Are you serious?” Sophie scoffed in disbelief. “I never once liked him.”

Sophie really did not admire him. It was true that she once thought Mason was a nice guy, but that perception was shattered when Mason betrayed her.
