Sophie quickly rushed to Arius' hospital room. Past the door, she saw Barney rescuing Arius.
Instantly, she stepped up and gave Barney a hand.
After checking Arius' condition, she found out he fainted because he overworked himself in doing
research on the genetic virus.
Looking at Arius lying on the hospital bed, Sophie didn't know what to say.
She waited until Arius woke up and scolded, “Arius, what do you think you're doing? Do you have so
little trust in us? What do you think you can do in your current state much less do research?”
Even though the cure was discovered, he still needs some time to recover. He'll only make his situation
worse if he continues this way.
“How can I not trust you? I trust you and Dr. Smith the most in this world. I just wanted to help.”
He never thought his body would be so weak.
“This genetic virus is much more potent than we thought. Even though we can control the mortality
rate, the side effects are still severe,” Barney said.
Arius had always been in good health. His body was in such terrible condition due to the side effects.
“Yeah.” Sophie also realized the severity of the situation. The spread this time had infected a lot of
people. If all of them have the same condition as Arius, their lives will be ruined. “Don't worry! Dr. Smith
and I will come up with something.”
Dr. Smith risked his life to come to Chanaea. He deserves to be called a doctor.
That was the first time Barney heard her call him that.
Emotions welled up in his chest.
“Sophie, are you finally willing to be my mentee? Is this real? Arius, pinch me!” Barney said excitedly.
Arius felt slightly gloomy at Barney's excitement.
“Dr. Smith, can you drop the preferential treatment? How can you treat us differently? You're too much!
I remembered I was the one who begged you to be my mentor. Yet now, your excitement is off the roof
when it comes to Sophie.”
How can the difference between one human and the other be so big?
“How can that be the same? How can you compare to Sophie? You're not even on the same level,
okay?” All those years, he had wanted someone to carry the torch, and Sophie was the only one who
checked all the boxes.
Despite asking her again and again, Sophie had never relented.
Finally, she agreed to be his mentee. How could he not celebrate it?
“Fine! Address me with respect, Sophie!” Barney only had Arius and Sophie as his mentees.
Sophie merely shot Arius a glance and ignored him.
“Dr. Smith, since he's fine now, let's not waste time and carry on with the research.”
Time was too precious.
“Sure.”
After Barney and Sophie left, Arius was the only one left in the room. He felt lonely since he should've
been doing research with them.
Unfortunately, he could only lay there.
The helpless feeling was terrible, but he couldn't do anything about it.
He swore to be more careful next time and not get infected by such a virus anymore. The thought of
having Sophie as his junior filled him with glee since she was excellent at her work. Everyone knows
her.
With her backing him, he could do anything he wanted in Jipsdale, especially Tristan. That man
wouldn't be able to bully him anymore.
Since Sophie was busy researching the virus at Central Hospital, it was the best opportunity for Willow.
Even if her face was still swollen, she couldn't care less.
At the Dragon Court Hotel, Willow carefully opened the door to a private room. When she entered the
room, she saw a man in a suit already waiting for her.
“So you're Willow. This is the document you need. Don't worry. This document looks like the real thing,
so you won't have any issues there.”
Willow studied the man's face. He was extremely gorgeous despite his gender-neutral face.
“Can I know your name?”
She didn't even know his name. The only thing she knew about him was he could help her. However,
she still felt uneasy about it.
“You don't need to know my name. You're the one who needs my help. Sophie will be busy for the next
few days, so she doesn't have time to drop by Tanner Group. Therefore, if you want to get your hands
on the Tanner Group, do it within these few days. Otherwise, you're no match for her once she's free,”
the man said straightforwardly.
Willow wasn't pleased with his words.
“All right. I get it.” Willow opened the folder and flipped through the contents. When she saw Josiah's
signature, she thought it looked the same like the real one.
The severity of what she was about to do hit Willow hard to the extent that the folder felt as if it was
burning in her hand. However, her mood lightened when she imagined Sophie ending up with nothing.
“Thank you.”
She threw all her concerns out the window, including not knowing his name. Clayton was the one who
introduced the man to her. Since he hated Sophie so much, she thought surely he wouldn't lie to her.
“You can leave now.”
He had said everything that needed to be said. The rest would be up to Willow for no one else could
help her.
“Okay.”
After leaving the Dragon Court Hotel, Willow couldn't contain her smile any longer. So Sophie won't be
there? I'll go straight to the Tanner Group, then.
On second thought, she figured it would be best to bring Yale and Charmaine with her there since they
wanted the company as much as she did.
If they went with me, wouldn't the authenticity of this will be more convincing?
The three of them even brought a lawyer with them. Victor thought it was amusing seeing the four
standing in front of him.
“What are you doing, Mr. Tanner? You currently don't hold any position in the Tanner Group, so what
are you doing here?” Victor didn't like Yale at all, so his tone was rude.
Nervousness filled Yale when he saw Victor. However, when he thought of owning the thing he wanted
most, he straightened his back.
“This company belongs to the Tanner family, Mr. White. Someone like you don't have the right to make
the decisions here.”
I can't step down at such a crucial moment.
“Does it belong to the Tanner family? If my memory proves accurate, I remember we're a joint-stock
company,” Victor retorted.
“But I think it's pointless to tell you all this since you don't even know what kind of company it is.” The
words out of Victor's mouth had always been sharp.
“You—”
Anger rushed through Yale at his quip.
“This is Grandpa's will. Speak after you've taken a look at it!”
Willow pulled the folder from her bag and handed it over to Victor. Victor's expression turned grim as he
perused the will.
He stepped away to make a call to Sophie.
Yes, the signature on the will is clearly Old Mr. Tanner's, but that's impossible! The person Old Mr.
Tanner trusted the most was Sophie. There was no way he would make such a decision.
However, Sophie didn't pick up his call.
