Chapter 281: Past Events Of The White Family

Although Sophia White was no longer involved in business, she still had access to commercial news.

Only the insiders in the Torres Group knew that Franklin sold that piece of land.

Moreover, Sophia wasn't simply saying this to greet Franklin. Instead, she was using this opportunity to tell Franklin that her informants were everywhere, telling him to be more vigilant and not play any tricks.

With a faint smile on his face, Franklin nodded his head.

He always did things in an open and candid manner. Besides, in the business world, once a deal was completed, no one really cared or looked at its details. What really mattered was the final result.

He did not pay much attention to Sophia's warning at all.

"You are really well-informed. You know something that many employees in our company don't. I'll need to have my employees learn from you in the future, Madame White."

What Franklin said was appropriate too. He sounded very polite, but his words were full of sarcasm toward Sophia.

After all, Sophia had been in the business world for so many years. Although she was a woman, her influence was not inferior to that of a man. Sophia had saved the White Group from many crises by herself.

Therefore, she did not take Franklin's words to heart. She just smiled.

"You must be joking. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Torres Corporation must have fully understood its opponents to be able to achieve such a feat."

"You are right, Madam White. As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Sophia's eyes flashed with caution and coldness when she saw that Franklin was frank but neither servile nor overbearing.

She had not met many of the Torres family's descendants. She had only seen Franklin in various news articles.

She had originally thought that the praises for Franklin in the news were just an exaggeration. However, as she faced Franklin now to discuss business matters for the first time, she realized that Franklin was indeed very decisive.

All these years, Sophia had always wanted the White Group to surpass the Torres Group.

Unfortunately, her son was no match for the Torres family's son, and her grandson was no match for the Torres family's grandson. However, she still did not give up.

Sophia smiled at Franklin.

She changed the topic.

"Oh, that's right. This is my granddaughter. I brought her out to buy clothes today."

Sophia had several sons.

This granddaughter was the child of her youngest son, Jack White.

Jack got married last year. As the chairman of the Torres Group, Franklin had attended the wedding with his grandmother.

Jack and his wife had their child before the wedding.

The relationship of this couple had never been looked upon favorably by others.

Before the child was born, the White family did not approve of their relationship. The reason was that the woman came from a small unknown family. The White family believed that this woman was not worthy of Jack.

However, Jack had been entangled with this woman for a few years. They had been together and broken up several times, but they had never truly separated. Instead, the woman even got pregnant before marriage.

Although they had a child, the White family's attitude was still very firm. They did not allow this woman to enter their house.

Therefore, Jack could only maintain an ambiguous relationship with this woman and raise their daughter together.

The White Family had never publicly acknowledged this woman and this granddaughter.

It was not until last year that all the major families suddenly received the White family's wedding invitation. Jack was finally going to marry her.

Although they did not know the reason, everyone had prepared gifts to attend the wedding.

Franklin was one of them.

This matter had always been one of the gossips of the upper class at that time. After all, it was rare for such a large family to be involved in such a case where the bride was pregnant before the actual wedding.

Sophia especially valued the family's reputation. Everyone thought that Sophia would have a bad attitude toward her granddaughter.

Jack was the youngest son in the family. He had no talent and was not very bright either. He was already thirty-two years old this year, but he had never gone out to work.

Moreover, he had gotten his wife pregnant before marriage.

Everyone thought that Sophia would be very annoyed, but unexpectedly, Sophia did not show any dissatisfaction at the wedding.

The wedding scene was warm, with Sophia as a kind mother and Jack as a filial son. When Jack's wife served tea to Sophia, her smile was also sincere.

After the wedding, many gossip magazines repeatedly photographed Sophia taking her granddaughter out to play. She appeared kind and loving. She did not look like a capable businesswoman at all.

The gossip magazines proclaimed that even such a capable woman with an iron fist had a tender side.
