“Sophie, what can I do now? Aunt Sarah must have felt terrible. I wish I could do something for her!” Ysabelle felt sorry for Sarah. “I'll not let Yvette off the hook!”
Ysabelle was furious. Juan might have reprimanded her, but she felt Yvette deserved more severe punishment.
Sophie hummed in response. “Yes. It sucks when we don't get to teach her a lesson, but it's okay. I'm sure we'll get to settle old scores with her once and for all.” Sarah is a nice person who doesn't deserve such treatment. Even if she's not, Yvette had no right to judge her. Besides, she's the mastermind behind this!
Hearing those remarks for the first time, Ysabelle was at a loss for words.
“Don't worry! Yvette won't have an easy time from now on. Go back to your room and take a rest! Let's go out and have some fun tomorrow. Sarah doesn't want us to worry about her, so let's not dwell on this anymore,” Sophie advised.
“All right. I'll listen to you.” Ysabelle was not ready to let this slide, but since Sophie had expressed her opinion, she had no grounds to contradict her.
Sophie returned to her room, opened the hotel's computer, and logged into a website to hack Yvette's account.
Besides obtaining some information she needed, Sophie also learned that Yvette used to sleep with people before she became famous.
All the evidence she gathered came in the form of photos and videos.
Yvette had rubbed Sophie the wrong way since they met at Walter's banquet a year ago. Sophie did not have time to teach her a lesson as she had been busy. Since she wants to stir up trouble, I'll play along. Let's see if a C-lister like her can still hold her head high once all this information leaks to the public. Does she think she could do anything just because she's engaged to Juan?
Sophie then sent all the photos and videos to Tristan.
Upon receiving those files, Tristan texted her right away: What is this all about?
He was somewhat puzzled and did not know what Sophie wanted to do, as he had no clue who Yvette was.
Sophie responded with another text message: This person pissed me off recently. Sent all these files to the media for me!” Sophie uttered. Since Yvette kept provoking us, it's time for us to give her a taste of her own medicine.
Tristan replied: What do you mean? Did she bully you? His expression turned grim after he received the message. I don't care who she is. Anyone who provoked Sophie will be doomed.
Sophie wrote back: Yes. I just don't like her. And I want her reputation ruined.
Sophie was highly protective of her loved ones. That was why she decided to deal with Yvette using such a method when she bullied Sarah. She cares about her image and prestige the most, right? I'll destroy them once and for all.
Tristan texted: Got it. Are you having fun in Jetroina?
He was totally uninterested to learn about a C-lister, as he could take her down within the snap of a finger.
At that point, he just wanted to know if Sophie was doing well in Jetroina.
Sophie replied: Everything is fine here. Besides drinking in the hotel room, we didn't do much this afternoon. But I'm happy.
The girls she came to Jetroina with were all her close friends, so having the opportunity to chat and drink with them brought her joy.
At least she could speak her mind and not have a single worry in the world.
Tristan was pleased to know that she was having a great time. That was all that mattered to him. He texted back: All right. Good to know.
Sophie asked: How about you? Busy as usual?
She knew how hectic his schedule was. There must be a ton of work waiting for him to deal with.
He replied: Not too bad. I'm not as busy as I used to be because Felix can now settle many issues for me.
Sophie could not help but chuckle upon imagining the pitiful look on Felix's face. She responded with another text: Don't be too hard on him. After all, he's still Ysabelle's boyfriend. You should at least show Ysabelle some respect.
Tristan texted back: Please. Me taking the trouble to coach him personally is a show of respect for Ysabelle.
He opined that Felix should be grateful for the opportunity instead. There are so many people out there wanting me to coach them!
Sophie responded with a text: It's getting late. I'm going to rest early because we're going to ski tomorrow. You should too.
Tristan texted back: Okay. Enjoy your trip and be careful.
She replied: I will.
With much reluctance, they ended the chat.
The couple missed each other so much, even though they had just been away from each other for less than a day. Both Tristan and Sophie had never had this kind of feeling before.
Meanwhile, Felix was still complaining about Tristan. “Ysabelle, I'm telling you the truth. Your uncle has gone overboard. He kept me so busy that I didn't even have time to call you.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what kind of person Uncle Tristan is. Stop complaining and do your work. I'll make it up to you when you get home!” Ysabelle uttered.
“Really? How?” Her words instantly aroused Felix's interest.
She chuckled. “What do you think? You men only have one thing on your mind.”
“I'm not Charles. Let's kiss for ten minutes, all right? I miss you so much! I wish I could fly over to see you,” he said. Charles and the other men will never understand how I'm feeling right now.
“Okay. Permission granted. I'm going to hang up now. The girls and I are going skiing tomorrow,” she said.
Felix wanted to talk for a while longer, but upon thinking of the long flight she had today and tomorrow's trip, he decided to let her go.
Meanwhile, Yvette received a call from her manager after returning to the country.
“What? Why do you call at this hour? Do you know what time it is?” Yvette had lost interest in work-related matters ever since she got engaged to Juan. I'll marry into the Quigley family soon. Why should I work so hard?
The manager was not pleased with Yvette's attitude lately, but she dared not express her disdain, knowing that Juan had her back. “Yvette, did you offend anyone recently? Do you know there has been a lot of unsavory information about your past posted all over the media?”
“What?” Yvette was stunned for a while. The media aired some unsavory information about my past? What does she mean?
“Check out the news about you on the internet. I know you don't care about your career, but those scandals will take a toll on your marriage with Mr. Quigley,” the manager warned. Haven't we taken care of those pictures and videos? How did the media manage to get their hands on them? Why would someone do this to Yvette? What has she done?
Instead of wasting time listening to her blabber, Yvette promptly went online to check the news about herself.
The color instantly drained from her face as she stumbled upon pictures of her servicing men before her rise to fame. What's going on? How did those photos end up there?
