Chapter 310 I Do Not Need To Depend On A Woman
“Sophie, if you lose, I shall leave the physics industry with you.” Bailey was the reason things had turned out this way, so this was the only thing he could do now.
“Bailey Dixon!” Mavis gasped in horror. She had no idea Bailey would say that. Did he say that on purpose? He knew I did everything for him but said that out loud.
“Let’s go!” Sophie didn’t even bother to give her another glance. She led Ysabelle to an empty seat and sat down. As far as she was concerned, it would be a waste of time to talk to someone who wasn’t important to her.
“Mavis, I don’t like you. My feelings won’t change no matter what you do. I will never fall in love with you, so stop making things difficult for Sophie,” Bailey told her sternly. He didn’t bother sparing her feelings.
“Hey!” Mavis inhaled sharply.
It might seem that I have won, but how will the others look at me? Ugh, this is frustrating. Why does Bailey like to make me angry? Can’t he see how much I love him?
“You insist on defending her, huh? Fine! I shall let you see how I defeat her entirely! She will suffer a humiliating defeat!” Mavis vowed. With that said, she took a seat in the first row.
If he insists on acting this way, I shall show him what I’m capable of. This time, I must defeat Sophie.
“Soph, can you do it? I think Mavis is pretty good in physics,” Ysabelle asked worriedly.
She didn’t want to be the reason that made Sophie suffer defeat.
“It’s fine. The professor is here, so pay attention to his words,” Sophie responded calmly as though she didn’t make a bet.
That very night, Ysabelle told her uncle about the matter discreetly.
“Uncle Tristan, what should I do? Mavis was really arrogant. Should we buy the questions for the physics competition? That way, Sophie’s win will be guaranteed,” Ysabelle suggested. All she wanted was for Sophie to win the bet.
“Stop creating trouble all the time!” came Tristan’s frosty reply.
Ysabelle was rendered speechless.
Fine. I was the one who caused this. However, I didn’t do it on purpose!
“Uncle Tristan, what should we do now? We can’t stand back and do nothing, can we?”
“Just have faith in Sophie,” Tristan told her.
Sophie was not the type to cheat. Besides, she was capable enough to defeat Mavis.
However, Tristan couldn’t help but grow irritated as Bailey was the reason behind the bet.
Thus, he couldn’t help but brood when he video-called Sophie.
Tristan tried his best to hide his emotions, but Sophie was sharp enough to sense his displeasure.
“What’s the matter? Are you upset?” she asked.
“No,” came his answer.
Sophie fell silent.
“Why didn’t you ask the reason I’m upset?”
“You denied being upset, right? Is there still a need for me to continue asking?” Sophie returned.
Tristan was rendered speechless.
D*mn it! How could she do this to me? I might be arrogant and indifferent, but I want her to have concern for me. If we’re together right now, I shall pin her underneath me and kiss her passionately so she’ll know if I’m upset or not.
“I’ll go and see you after the competition ends,” was all Tristan said in the end.
“Sure,” Sophie agreed readily.
“Do you miss me?” he inquired.
The same question again? How insecure is he?
“Yes,” she replied. My answer is straightforward enough, right?
Sure enough, Tristan’s mood lifted after he heard her answer.
