Chapter 275 Sleepwalking âIt's just someone working for Mr. Tristan, so what's there to brag about?
If you want to show off, you should be showing off Mr. Tristan himself!â Josiah retorted. Waylon
barked out a laugh in fury. âJosiah, who do you think Mr. Tristan is?â Right then, the future
grandson-in-law that Waylon had been going on about arrived. When he saw the group, he walked
over. âGrandpa, what's wrong?â âIt's nothing. Josiah, I know that Tanner Group's having a hard time
right now.
This is my future grandson-in-law. If theres anything, you can ask him for help. I'm sure he'll lend a
helping hand since we used to be comrades.â âHello, I'm Jimmy Sivedull. Please feel free to come to
me if you need any help.â Meanwhile, when Morgan realized that Josiah had taken an unusually
long time for his trip to the restroom, he came out to look for him. It was then Morgan saw Waylon
and the others. âOld Mr. Tanner.â Morgan knew how hostile Josiah and Waylon were toward each
other. Thus, he immediately wondered if the group of people was cornering and bullying Josiah.
âMy, isn't this Morgan?â Waylon turned even haughtier upon seeing Morgan. Morgan ignored him.
âOld Mr. Tanner, let's go back inside. Ms. Sophie and the others are still waiting for you.â He, too, felt
that it was pointless for Josiah to stoop to Waylon's level. After all, they had always been people
from two different worlds.
"Sophie? Josiah, I have to comment on this. Your Sophie is infamous! I'm afraid a young lady like her
won't be able to get a boyfriend. I have no idea how you educate your kids and grandkids. If you
can't bring yourself to teach her a lesson, why don't you send her to me? I'll teach her a lesson for
you.â âThat's none of your concern. Mind your own business.â Annoyed, Josiah turned to leave
again. However, Jimmy blocked his way. âWhat do you mean? Old Mr. Lacraft is only doing this for
your sake. How can you be so ungrateful?â Right then, the other people stepped out of the room.
When they saw the two in a standoff, they all chose to take Waylon's side. After all, Jimmy was one
of Tristanâs men. Anyone who was associated with Tristan would definitely be able to provide much
help if any trouble were to arise. âThat's enough, Josiah. Just apologize to Waylon.â âWe all used to
fight on the same battlefield, so why must we be so aggressive toward each other?â Josiah was
speechless. Did I do anything wrong? Why should I apologize? âThat's right. As long as you
apologize, I'll pretend that nothing happened today. However, donât blame me for what happens
next if you refuse to apologize,â Jimmy uttered.
"Forget it, Josiah. It's pointless to get mad at them,â said one of the men who used to be on good
terms with Josiah. It was better to side with Jimmy, after all. Josiah could not help but laugh in
response. He never thought that he would feel how disappointing mankind could be at his age. âI
won't apologize. I'd like to see how you're going to destroy Tanner Group.â Right as he said that,
Tristan and Sophie came out of their room. The moment Sophie saw the crowd, her expression
darkened. She then strode toward Josiah and noticed the angry look he had. âWhat's going on?â I
thought he was only using the restroom.
Why did he take such a long time? âIt's nothing. Let's go,â Josiah said, not wanting Sophie to
intervene in the matter. âOh? Isn't that Sophie? You're all grown up now. I thought you'd be too
embarrassed to come to Jipsdale,â Waylon said ruthlessly in a mean tone. âWaylon, I'm warning you
now to mind your words, or else I'm not going to hold back anymore.â Josiah could tolerate
everything but people who commented on his precious granddaughter. âHow are you going to do
that? Josiah, you shouldn't bluff. You should only say this if you have the ability to carry out your
words. Otherwise, you'll be a clown, got it?â âYou're going too far, Waylon!â âSo what if he is?"
Jimmy immediately chimed in. âIf you keep spouting nonsense, I might as well make you disappear
from Jipsdale.â By then, Sophie understood what was going on. Clearly, the crowd was bullying her
grandfather. âMake the Tanner family disappear from Jipsdale? Bold words from you!â Sophie
hissed. Jimmy chuckled. âWhat's the matter? Do you not believe me? I'll give you one last chance to
apologize, or else I'm going to resort to force,â Jimmy uttered aggressively. âHave your mother
never taught you how to act like a proper human being?â At that moment, Sophie had finally been
introduced to the worldâs most shameless person. Upon hearing her words, Jimmy raised his hand
to hit Sophie.
Nevertheless, Sophie instantly kicked him to the ground, her move swift and without hesitation. The
people in the crowd used to be in the army, so they knew how terrifying her kick had been. âSoph,
dontâ" "Grandpa, we don't bully others, but we can't let others bully us either.â As she spoke, she
stepped on Jimmy's stomach. âSay, who do you think should be apologizing right now?â We came
out for a nice meal, and Grandpa's mood was already bad. He's plain unlucky to have met this
bunch of weirdoes too! Sophie thought grumpily. Jimmy scowled when he realized a woman had
kicked him to the ground. Instantly, he tried to climb back up to his feet, but he could not struggle
free from her. âFor f*ckâs sake! Let me go! Do you know who I am?â Jimmy cried out. âI don't,â
Sophie replied. Jimmy never thought that Sophie would actually reply to him, and for a moment, he
did not even know how he should answer that. âI don't know who you are, but you're going to
remember who I am. My name is Sophie Tanner. Keep that in mind.â âYou... I'm telling you now.
work for Mr. Tristan! He won't let you off after what you've done to me!â Sophie instinctively turned
toward Tristan at that. He's working for him? Really? When did his standards hit rock bottom? When
Tristan, who had been standing aside and waiting for Sophie to be done with her angry outburst,
heard that, he glanced at the man she was stepping on. He had no recollection of the other man at
all.
Can random people do terrible things in my name nowadays? âWho did you say you work for
again?â Tristan asked. In a way, he was giving Jimmy one last chance. âI work for Mr. Tristan. Are you
scared? No one in Jipsdale dares to lay a finger on Mr. Tristanâs employee!â At that, an evil grin grew
on Tristanâs lips. âIt sounds like Mr. Tristanâs quite the big shot.â âOf course. Hurry up and let go of
me before getting on your knees to apologize! If you kneel before me and say you're sorry, I'll
overlook this matter!â Jimmy boldly said. Sophie could not help but laugh at that. Then, she gave
him another kick in the stomach. âWhat's the matter, boy? Are you still sleepwalking? Apologize to
you? Do you think you're worthy of that?â
