Chapter 999 Taking the Lead
Angelina was completely 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 claim 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 glanced 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 flared up. “If you don’t get lost now, don’t blame 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 explain himself, not wanting to lose the comfortable 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 unwell lately, so I will handle the company’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 occasionally jotted down notes in her notebook.
After they finished speaking, she compiled a list of problems and delivered a concise summary.
“I understand that everyone has been working hard lately, so take a break when it’s appropriate. While Tanner Group is becoming increasingly successful, I don’t want its success to come 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?
