Anything For Her

Taught A Lesson

Victor, too, did not expect Sophie to know the CEO of Maxwell Corporation. He was pleased when he recalled how

Terence used to bully him and treat him with derision.

True enough, Sophie had always been unrivaled, and the way she handled things never disappointed him.

“Don’t think everything will be fine just because you’ve made a phone call. Just you wait and see. I will make you

suffer a fate that’s far worse than death.”

There’s no way Sophie knows Mr. Marwell. She would’ve mentioned it in the very beginning if she knows him. I’m

sure she’s just trying to scare me.

“Is that so? Mark my words. You’ll soon lose your job.”

“Ms. Sophie, what should we do with him?” asked Victor.

“That’s none of our concern. Someone else will deal with him. Let’s go somewhere else for dinner. It’s my treat.

Just let me know if you encounter more jerks like him that obstruct the development of the company in the future. I

will deal with it.”

Sophie was determined to get rid of anyone who got in the way of Tanner Group.

“Sure, Ms. Sophie!”

Victor admired Sophie an awful lot. This young lady is indeed extremely powerful and capable. I wouldn’t have

pledged loyalty to her if she wasn’t capable. After all, I’m still quite an ambitious person.

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the restaurant, Connor, the CEO of Maxwell Corporation showed up.

When he saw that Sophie was leaving, he immediately came over and said apologetically, “Ms. Tanner, I’m so sorry.

I have been very busy for the past few days and had no idea that my subordinates are so useless. Please rest

assured that I will give you an explanation for this. Please reconsider collaborating with us.”

“I despise Mr. Hein. Find someone else to replace him if you still wish to work with Tanner Group.”

“Sure, I will do that.”

Without saying another word, Sophie left with Victor.

“Where is he?” Connor asked his secretary once Sophie left.

“Mr. Hein is in there!”

Connor stepped into the restaurant immediately.

Terence had just gotten back on his feet with help from his assistant. His wrist wouldn’t stop shaking.

“Mr. Hein, do you think it’s true that Sophie knows Mr. Maxwell?” asked the assistant. Ms. Tanner didn’t seem like

she was trying to scare us.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. Have you forgotten that Connor is my brother-in-law? He won’t do anything to me

even if she really knows him.”

Connor walked in just as he finished speaking.

“Connor, I think Tanner Group’s not worth collaborating with at all. There are so many companies dying to work with

Maxwell Corporation, so let’s find someone else!”

He had barely finished talking when Connor gave him a tight slap on his face.

“Listen carefully, Terence Hein. Quit your job if you can’t work for me and stop causing trouble. Do you know how

important this collaboration is to me?”

Terence was bewildered, for he did not expect to be slapped.

“Connor, I’m just stating the facts. You have no idea how arrogant the CEO of Tanner Group is. Take a look at my

hand. She’s gone overboard and is practically disrespecting you!”

Livid, Connor gave Terence a kick in his stomach when he saw that the latter still had no idea what he had

done wrong.

“You useless piece of cr*p! You can forget about working for me. I will find someone to replace you.”

“Connor, how can you do that to me? You promised my sister to take good care of me.”

“Shut up. I don’t want to hear another word from you. I will stitch your mouth shut if you dare make another

sound.”

Connor then turned to Terence’s assistant and said, “As for you, you are fired too. Don’t bother coming to work

tomorrow.”

Terence’s assistant panicked at that instant.

“Mr. Maxwell, this has nothing to do with me! I’ve told Mr. Hein many times to watch his attitude, but he refused to

listen to me. There’s nothing I can do.”

The fact that Terence was a lecherous man was well-known in the industry, and there was nothing the assistant

could do about it.

“What’s the point of hiring you since you can’t do your job well?” Reluctant to waste his breath talking to Terence

and his assistant, Connor left with his secretary.

“Mr. Hein, what should we do now? I can’t lose this job!” Terence’s assistant was really anxious.

Mr. Hein has his sister to back him up, but I have nobody.

“Mr. Hein, you’ve promised that you will protect me as long as I follow you,” he said nervously.

Terence truly did not expect Sophie to know Connor. However, he was still not the least bit afraid although things

had come to this.

“It’s fine. This is not a big deal. I will have a talk with my sister. Surely she will help me out.”

“Mr. Hein, how about me?”

“You? I myself am in deep trouble. How would I know what would happen to you?” uttered Terence grumpily.

He had been enjoying a luxurious and carefree life in Jipsdale due to his position in the company. There was no way

he could afford to lose this job.

Victor and Sophie bumped into Tristan and Charles the moment they headed out.

“What a coincidence. Are the two of you here for dinner, too?” Sophie questioned with surprise. Shouldn’t he be at

home right now?

“Yes. Charles has to meet up with a client here, so I tagged along,” replied Tristan calmly, lying through his teeth.

“I see! There’s nothing special about this restaurant. I suggest you go somewhere else!”

“How about you? Have you eaten yet? You should join us if you haven’t eaten.”

“No, we haven’t. I’m thinking of treating Victor to dinner.”

You’re welcome to join us then! Mr. White, I hope you don’t mind!”

“Of course not! It’s my honor to be able to have a meal with the two of you.” Naturally, Victor knew how much

Sophie meant to Tristan. Mr. Tristan would most probably be upset if I ate with Ms. Sophie alone.

“Let’s go to another restaurant since Sophie doesn’t like this one.” After all, there were plenty of top- notch

restaurants nearby.

“Sure.”

“How’s the deal with Mr. Hein?” asked Tristan casually as they made their way to another restaurant.

“I broke his hand.

She had to teach Terence a lesson for bullying her subordinate to let him know the consequences of messing with

her.

“Good. Next time, don’t do it yourself. Let me know, and I will do it.”

Sophie was rendered speechless.

Is that even necessary?

The four of them went into a restaurant and sat down in a private room. Charles began to order food.

“Sophie, are these enough? We’ll order these if there isn’t anything else you want to add.”

“Victor, do you want anything else? Feel free to order more. It’ll be my treat.” Sophie turned to Victor.

She had been busy lately, so Victor had been the one dealing with the matters in Tanner Group. He was indeed a

responsible and diligent man.

“Ms. Sophie, I’m happy to work for you. I believe that Tanner Group will achieve greater heights in the future.”

No matter how arduous the process might be, Victor firmly believed that the company would continue to prosper

and thrive.

“Of course! Tanner Group will definitely achieve success with the help of you and the others,” Sophie answered

joyfully. The people supporting her were indeed dependable.
