Chapter 1001 Too Captivating
“You little imp. Are you enjoying watching me in such a state?”
“Am I? Do I look as though I’m enjoying it? Not at all! I just…” Sophie paused to choose her words. Her eyes were
shining so brightly that no one could have taken their eyes off her. “I think it serves you right!”
“You really are a little imp,” he said. Here I am, having a hard time suppressing my urges. Yet, in her eyes, she
thinks I deserve it. She’s truly a naughty little imp
“That’s enough. You should hurry up and go,” Sophie said as she pushed Tristan out. After he left, she headed to the
golf course with Carl.
When they arrived and saw that the people from Starlight International were not there yet, Carl was slightly
worried. After all, Sophie was still just a woman regardless of her accomplishments, and Howard was not a nice guy.
“Ms. Sophie, how about asking Mr. Tristan to join us?” he asked. Mr. Tristan is her boyfriend, isn’t he? As long as she
says the word, he’ll definitely come over.
“Do you think I can’t handle the situation?” she responded, arching her brow. In truth, she had no intention of
collaborating with Starlight International anymore and was only there to teach Howard a lesson.
“That’s not what I meant, Ms. Sophie. I was only worried about you. Honestly,” Carl replied. It did not take much to
make him nervous whenever he was with her. Her aura was simply too terrifying!
“All right. Don’t worry, Mr. Himmer. Nobody will dare to bully you on my watch. Sophie was exceptionally calm and
composed. She took a sip of coffee, thinking that it tasted pretty good.
Carl was bereft of speech. I’m a grown man. I’m not afraid of getting bullied! Ms. Sophie is a young lady who’s as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbeautiful and delicate as a flower. She really is the type that’d easily arouse one’s desire to do something evil.
However, since she has said that, it wouldn’t look good for me to stand here and continue making unnecessary
remarks.
Seeing that those from Starlight International were already over an hour late, he looked toward her anxiously. He
guessed she must have never encountered such people.
“Ms. Sophie, why don’t we head back first? They’re probably not going to show up today,” he ventured. He must’ve
gotten stood up. These guys from Starlight International have crossed the line!
“What’s the hurry? Even if we go back, we’ve nothing else to do anyway. I want to meet Howard today. After all, she
had come to drag Howard to Victor and make him apologize on his knees.
Carl did not know what to say. She’s totally not what I expected her to be like, but then again, we haven’t spent that
much time with her. Nonetheless, having led Tanner Group to its current success, she must be a capable person.
Otherwise, Mr. Victor wouldn’t have given her his loyalty wholeheartedly.
“Mr. Himmer, don’t panic when something happens. Just calm down. There’s nothing that can’t get resolved,” she
continued. As long as she was around, nothing would go wrong. Hence, he did not have to worry about anything.
“Mm, okay,” he answered. What else could he say?
After another ten minutes, Howard finally showed up with a group of people in tow. It was Howard’s first time
seeing Sophie, as he had only communicated with Victor previously.
“You are…” When Howard saw such a gorgeous woman before him, his sinister gaze lit up instantly, and it
completely slipped his mind that he had brought a female companion with him.
“Good day. I’m Sophie Tanner from Tanner Group.”
“Good-day. I’m Howard Lynder from Starlight International. Ms. Tanner, if you had come before this to discuss the
collaboration with me, I believe we would’ve surely worked something out,” he replied. I just don’t like that Victor.
What’s so special about him? He always thinks he’s the bee’s knees.
“Oh, really?” Her gaze grew even icier. So that’s how he wants to play it.
“Ms. Tanner, do you like playing golf? If you do, I can teach you,” he said, leering at her.
“Not really. However, I’m not here to play golf with you,” she answered, her tone glacial. He can forget about
working together. I’m only here to settle the score.
“Oh? Have you come here to flirt with me then, Ms. Tanner?” It would delight him immensely if that were the case.
There were not many men who could refuse a woman like Sophie.
“I’m here to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents.”
Howard’s expression changed instantly. Does this woman know something? Otherwise, there’s no way she’d say
something like that.
“Mr. Lynder, don’t take any notice of her. The way I see it, she’s just playing hard to get. Women like her are the
worst. Who knows what she has done for Tanner Group to get to where it is today?” Howard’s female companion
immediately took his arm. It had taken her considerable effort to latch onto him, and she was not about to give him
up to anyone else.
“What nonsense are you talking about? She achieved all that through her capabilities. Do everyone is as shameless
as you?” Carl piped up. Tanner Group’s achievements are the result of everyone’s you think concerted efforts.
However, this woman dares to stand there and insult us!
“Hah! What’s this? Are you also one of the men she has invited to warm her bed?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCarl felt as though he was about to explode from anger at her words. How can such a disgusting woman erist on
this earth? As if it’s not enough that she’s so filthy-minded, she even thinks all other women are like her!
“You have a point. I don’t care for women like you, Ms. Tanner. Even if you want to teach me a lesson on behalf of
my parents, that’ll have to depend on whether you have what it takes to do so or not.” No sooner had Howard said
that than the several burly men behind him stepped forward and shifted into threatening stances.
“Bring her back. All of you have been thirsting for a woman recently, haven’t you? When the time comes, you can
all take turns to have your fill!” Howard uttered without any sense of shame.
All she has is a pretty face. What’s the big deal about that? No matter how great Tanner Group is, it’ll never
compare to Starlight International! That was what Howard thought. Otherwise, he would not have dared to behave
so insolently.
“Hah!” Sophie sneered. Just as I thought, he’s a piece of trash. He’s not worthy of collaborating with us.
When Carl saw the burly men approaching, he immediately moved to stand in front of Sophie.
“What do you think you’re doing? Don’t come any nearer. Otherwise…” He genuinely wanted to protect Sophie.
However, he was a mild-mannered and bookish man who had never encountered such a situation.
“Step aside, Mr. Himmer,” Sophie said somewhat helplessly. Nonetheless, she thought it was quite impressive of
him to dare shield her at such a time.
“Mr. Lynder, why waste time talking to them? Since she dared to go against you, you shouldn’t show her a shred of
mercy,” the female companion added, continuing to stir up trouble. She thought that Sophie was too beautiful,
which made her feel threatened. Hence, that was the only way she could think of to eliminate the sense of threat.
“Why are you guys just standing there? Take her back immediately,” Howard instructed. I’ll let the others have her
after I’ve had my fun with her. Her looks are very captivating, and her personality fills one with the urge to conquer
her.
