Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 530

Chapter 530

Since it was the Whitley family's banquet, Sarah had to respect Jennifer and let her speak.

Jennifer deliberately asked a business question to demonstrate that part of herself to Tristan and let him know how exceptional she was.

No one in this world, other than me, Jennifer Whitley, is worthy of Mr. Tristan.

Of course, Sarah could answer Jennifer's question. She responded with a smile and knew what her purpose was for doing so.

Jennifer is still too innocent. Men don't like you just because of how good you are. Not all men like strong women.

There was no way a perceptive woman like Sophie would fail to discern Jennifer's motives. She found the other woman's behavior somewhat ridiculous.

“What's the matter? Are you feeling bored? I'll take you out for a walk!”

There's still some time before the auction, and it'll indeed be boring to keep sitting here.

“That sounds great!”

Sophie did not wish to continue sitting there listening to Jennifer's nonsense, so she got up and left with Tristan.

Jennifer was stunned.

She did not expect Tristan to leave the table early because of Sophie.

Sarah could only stop talking when she noticed that Jennifer was in no mood to listen.

“Are you all right?” Jennifer was the daughter of the Whitley family after all, and the pitiful look she had at that moment made Sarah feel quite sorry for her.

“I'm sorry, Sarah. I didn't mean it.”

She's explaining something to me, yet I'm having this look on my face.

“You don't have to apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong. I just want to tell you that Tristan truly loves Sophie. I know you love him, but love is never based on wishful thinking.”

Sarah was making a last-ditch effort to prevent the matter from causing tension between the two families.

“I understand that.”

It was for that reason that she had never expressed her feelings all these years and kept waiting for an opportunity to do so.

However, just when she finally had the opportunity, she realized he already had a girlfriend.

“You should know that since Tristan brought Sophie here on such an occasion, it can only mean that he's serious about the relationship.”

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought her here.

Jennifer merely hummed in response, her expression grim.

Undoubtedly, she had become the biggest laughingstock in Jipsdale, and all the socialites and wealthy ladies were mocking her for overestimating herself.

Meanwhile, Tristan and Sophie had already come out, and sure enough, the air outside was much better and invigorating.

“Is it all right for us to come out like this?”

Truth be told, Sophie did not care much about it, but she still asked the question.

“Why not? I didn't want to come to such an event at all anyway.”

The reason I brought you here in person today was to let everyone know that I'm already taken and that they shouldn't approach me anymore.

“All right, then!”

Although William did not attend the event, he knew Tristan had brought Sophie over.

“What in the world are you doing now? Do you have any respect left for your father? I merely asked you to go out on a blind date. I didn't ask anything else of you. Do you know you've made things awkward for everyone because of what you've done?” he berated his son over the phone.

Tristan showed no sign of backing down as he argued, “You knew I have a girlfriend, yet you still made such an arrangement. Shouldn't you have expected this outcome?”

“Tristan, you—”

Why does this rebellious boy always make me so angry?

“All right, you should rest early now that you're getting older, or you'll ruin your health from blowing a fuse.” Tristan was not about to waste time talking to him. He hung up immediately after that as there was nothing left to say.

William's temper spiked when he heard the disconnect tone.

This brat doesn't have any respect for me, and now he even dares to hang up on me! No. I must go over and have a look. I can't let him destroy the relationship between our two families!

In the restroom, Sophie saw Jennifer as soon as she entered.

The latter made no attempt to conceal her animosity toward Sophie.

Since we're love rivals in the first place, being nice to her will be so fake!

Sophie also did not put on an act to greet Jennifer. She could clearly see the hostility in her eyes.

“Don't try to step into a social class that is not your own. You'll only embarrass yourself!”

The Tanner family was not part of the upper class in Jipsdale, so they were no match for the Lombard family in any way.

Sophie placed her hand under the faucet, and warm water flowed out automatically when the sensor detected her body heat.

She did not even spare Jennifer a single glance as she washed her hands.

Since birth, Jennifer's life had been smooth sailing. She had never experienced such blatant disregard from others.

Clenching her fists discreetly, she found the need to make it clear to the other girl.

“Your identity and your past will only embarrass Mr. Tristan. You're not worthy to stand by his side!”

After washing her hands, Sophie shook them lightly to flick the water off them before turning around to stare into Jennifer's eyes.

“Aren't you being too presumptuous, Jennifer? Do you genuinely believe that only having a few duties in your family's business makes you a capable, independent woman? So what if you are truly a strong woman? No matter how capable you are, it has nothing to do with Tristan because he has no interest in you. Also, I must say that I am certain that I am the only one on this planet who is worthy of him!”

Sophie was not a patient person in the first place, so she left as soon as she finished speaking.

Jennifer's face contorted with rage.

She's truly overestimating herself! Other than her appearance, what else can she boast about? Since she's so arrogant, she'll become so self-absorbed if I don't teach her a lesson!

Sophie went out and walked over to Tristan when she found him at the entrance of the restroom.

“Why are you here? I was just going to the restroom. You don't have to follow me all the time,” she said. So what if this is the Whitley family's turf? What else can they do to me?

“I just happened to come over, so I decided to wait for you outside.”

When Jennifer came out of the restroom and saw Tristan talking to Sophie gently, she feigned nonchalance.

Deep down, however, she was afraid that Sophie would complain to him about her.

Yet, when Tristan said nothing, she felt relieved.

“Mr. Tristan, the auction is about to start. Let's go in!” Jennifer informed him as the host of the banquet.

“You go in first. We'll be there in a while.” Tristan did not show Jennifer any respect since he felt he had no obligation to care about the feelings of someone he did not love. All he cared about was Sophie.

Jennifer paled. She gritted her teeth and left.

It's fine. I'll teach Sophie a lesson later at the auction. Does she really think that anyone can get into the upper class?
