Anything For Her

Chapter 560

"You're James Lestrange from Tanner Group, yes?"

Jennifer had a pair of sunglasses perched upon the bridge of her nose, and she whipped it off with a flourish.

Then, she continued, "I know about your situation in Tanner Group. Are you interested in joining Whitley Group? I'm

Jennifer Whitley from Whitley Group!"

"Whitley Group?"

It went without saying that James knew about Jennifer and Sophie being at odds. So, she came here today because

she wants me to do something?

"As long as you're willing to do something for me, I can guarantee that your pay will be double your current salary

when you join Whitley Group!"

James deliberated for a while before he nodded.

Tanner Group betrayed me first, so they can't blame me for doing the same. If I were really dismissed by the

company at my age, life wouldn't be easy for me. It's best that I plan for myself ahead of time!

"In that case, go back first. As for what I want you to do, I'll send it to your email. Remember to delete it after

reading it!"

After saying that, Jennifer climbed back into the car.

I'm going to destroy Sophie. Only then will I have an opportunity, and Tristan will finally notice me! So what if she's

notably capable? I'm still going to ruin her!

The next day, James did as ordered by Jennifer and amended all the financial reports. As Sophie was checking

through them, he studied her surreptitiously.

Sophie scanned through the financial reports. This time, they were finally acceptable.

"Mr. Lestrange, I hope you keep my words in mind and never commit the same mistake again. Otherwise, you'll be

fired immediately!"

At once, James nodded.

"Don't worry, Ms. Sophie! There won't be such an issue anymore in the future!" he promptly vowed with a smile.

Subsequently, he added, "Old Mr. Tanner is really blessed to have a capable granddaughter like you!"

Sophie paid his compliment no mind.

This is the last chance I'm giving him. If he were to do the same thing again, I wouldn't be showing him any mercy.

Only when James had left did Victor remark, "Honestly speaking, Ms. Sophie, James is really untrustworthy. I'm

afraid that he'll do something else in the future."

"That's true. Keep a close eye on him henceforth, lest he has some tricks up his sleeve!"

"Sure!"

"If there are others of a similar nature, hand them over to me to deal with. I won't allow them to stay here and ruin

my grandfather's hard work!"

After all, Tanner Group was the fruit of Josiah's blood, sweat, and tears.

Since it had been handed over to her, Sophie wouldn't allow it to be destroyed.

"Got it!" Having obtained her approval, Victor naturally wouldn't hold back either, for it was indeed high time for

some people to be kicked out.

It had been a few days since Sophie last saw Nicholas, so she thought he had already given up on her.

Unexpectedly, he appeared before her again.

That day, he wore a black windbreaker, rendering him all the more ominous. However, he was handsome, so many

daring women still wanted to approach him and strike up a conversation despite his aloof air.

At the sight of Sophie, he got out of his sports car and strode over to her.

"Where are you going? I'll give you a ride!" In front of her, he seemingly turned into an entirely different person

altogether.

Alas, Sophie ignored him completely and brushed past him.

A frown marred Nicholas' countenance. Ultimately, he shot his hand out and grabbed her arm.

"I'm talking to you, Sophie. Did you not hear me? What exactly do I need to do for you to spare me a glance?" he

growled furiously.

I've already lowered myself to such an extent, yet it's still not enough?

"Didn't I already tell you this? No matter what you do, it'll all be in vain." I simply have no feelings for him, and

nothing he does will change that fact!

Verily, Nicholas couldn't fathom why Sophie was so averse to him. "How am I inferior to Tristan? Sophie, I really am

not hoping you'll love me to the point of no return right now. I merely want a chance. I'll be content even if I only

get to stay by your side and be friends with you."

That isn't too much to ask, is it? Why won't she agree to it?

On the heels of that, he continued, "Or do you lack confidence in yourself, afraid that you'll fall in love with me?"

This is the only reason, no? Otherwise, I really can't think of any other reason.

At his words, Sophie couldn't help bursting into laughter.

In all honesty, he's pretty narcissistic. I've never had any romantic feelings for him. Indeed, I'm somewhat dense

when it comes to matters of the heart, but I still know this much—I've never liked him from the very beginning.

"Why can't you get the meaning of rejection? It isn't because I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you that I don't want to

have too much interaction with you. Instead, it's because the mere sight of you annoys me."

Must he force me to put things so bluntly? But as long as it'll get him to give up on me, I don't mind being as

straightforward as it takes.

"How dare you!" Nicholas' expression changed in a flash.

No one had ever dared to utter such a statement before him. In other words, Sophie was the first person to do so.

Unfortunately, he didn't dare fly into a rage when it came to her.

"I'm not mad. I'm not angry at all," he placated himself continuously, trying his best to suppress his wrath.

"So what if you're mad or otherwise? It has nothing to do with me." Sophie was still as candid as ever.

Why can't he just understand when I've said as much?

Nicholas' looks were truly too striking, especially when complemented by his distinctive attire. That aside, Sophie

was stunningly beautiful.

For that reason, some of the onlookers whipped out their phones and snapped pictures of them confronting each

other.

The ladies were exceedingly excited to see the couple on the screens of their phones.

Oh my God, this is simply a feast for the eyes! Their looks are on par with those of the celebrities in Koandrian

dramas! It's a delight to witness such beauty in reality!

Without warning, Nicholas went down on one knee.

"I love you, Sophie! Marry me! I'll do anything you ask of me as long as you marry me!"

His sudden proposal elicited bursts of cheers.

After all, it was a consummate plot of a romance movie for a handsome man to confess his feelings to an equally

beautiful lady.

In response to Nicholas dropping to one knee, Sophie scoffed.

Hah! He really doesn't mind stooping to despicable means to achieve his goals, does he? How did he come up with

the idea of proposing marriage to me?

Nicholas fished a small red box out of his windbreaker and opened it, revealing a huge diamond ring.

"Marry me. I don't mind doing anything you ask of me as long as you marry me." Truly, that's the only request I

have.

"You must have lost your mind, Nicholas. How could I possibly marry you?" Sophie's expression was grim in the face

of such a farce.

He might love grandstanding, but that doesn't mean I like being part of his show for others to watch!

At that, Nicholas grabbed her wrist.

"Why aren't you the least bit touched when I've already gone to such lengths? What exactly is so great about

Tristan?" He was on the verge of descending into a manic episode, but he did his utmost best to restrain himself in

front of her. Nonetheless, his eyes had started turning scarlet.

Naturally, Sophie noticed something amiss with him. There's a crowd here. If he were to really lose control of

himself now, he'd probably murder countless people.
