Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Water Park

Sophie narrowed her eyes as she said coldly, “I’ve been very patient standing here and listening to your nonsense, so don’t push it too far. You may file an appeal if you are dissatisfied with the verdict issued. Stop wasting my time with such pointless arguments.”

She was never a patient person, to begin with, so Cynthia’s actions were really starting to anger her.

Cynthia was about to try and hit her again, but someone pulled her back before she could do anything.

“You can talk to my lawyer directly if you have any further concerns.”

Tristan had dropped by Jipsdale Premier High after hearing that Sophie took the rest of the day off, only to witness such a scene upon arrival.

“Hey! Let go of me!” Cynthia was so desperate that she couldn’t care less about her image anymore.

Queenie being sent to prison had impacted the Lane family’s reputation so greatly that most of their business partners stopped collaborating with them.

“Do not show yourself in front of her ever again, or I will destroy the Lane family completely!” Tristan said while shoving her away.

The prison sentence that Queenie received for kidnapping Ysabelle was actually a lot better than what could’ve happened to her if Tristan had taken matters into his own hands.

“This woman has been bullying Soph, Uncle Tristan!” Ysabelle exclaimed when she came out and saw her uncle.

Tristan was regarded as a very attractive man due to his devilishly handsome face and long, slender legs.

The fact that he was six feet tall only made him all the more irresistible to the girls that were ogling him.

Having witnessed how powerful Sophie was, they were all shocked when they heard what Ysabelle said.

No one could possibly bully someone as powerful as Sophie!

Being the teacher in charge of the self-study session, Carrie got mad when she arrived and saw the commotion outside the classroom.

She was about to start scolding them, but the words got stuck in her throat when she saw Tristan standing there.

“Hi, who are you?”

Carrie had never seen such a handsome man in her entire life. He looked so good that standing before him made her feel ashamed of her unattractive appearance.

“I’m a relative of Sophie’s,” Tristan replied.

Ysabelle froze when she heard that. Wait… Isn’t he my relative? Since when did he become Sophie’s relative?

Carrie frowned when she heard him mention Sophie’s name.

“Please look after our Sophie, miss,” Tristan said politely.

“Of course!” Although she didn’t quite like Sophie, Carrie found herself unable to say no to Tristan.

“Ugh… He could’ve just told her to not bully Sophie!” Ysabelle muttered under her breath.

Carrie then turned toward the students watching on and said, “Settle down, students! It’s time for class!”

Sophie was about to head on in as well, but stopped in her tracks when Tristan grabbed her arm from behind.

“Is there something else I can help you with, mister?”

“I’d like to have a word with Sophie, if that’s okay.”

Although Carrie had wanted to admire Tristan’s handsome face a little while longer, she had no choice but to reluctantly enter the classroom.

Since it was just the two of them on the field, Sophie didn’t really mind hanging out with him.

“Come take a walk with me,” Tristan said, looking incredibly dazzling even though he was just standing there.

Huh? Is he asking me to walk around the school with him? Oh, well… I guess I could use some fresh air after dealing with that crazy woman earlier.

With that in mind, Sophie casually walked alongside him as they strolled around the campus.

Jipsdale Premier High had a garden with a river that ran through the entire school.

As the students were all in class, there was no one in the area. All they could hear was the sound of the river and the buzzing of the cicadas.

“Your school has a nice scenery.”

“I’m sure you’ve seen way better scenery than this in your life, Mr. Tristan. Jipsdale Premier High should be child’s play in comparison,” Sophie mumbled while kicking a pebble aside.

I’m not sure why he came to see me, but it’s nice not having to sit through Carrie’s class.

Sophie was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t notice the steps beneath her feet and lost her balance.
