Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 579

In the heat of the moment, Simon rushed forward to shield the two ladies. They would definitely be disfigured if the acid struck them.

“Simon, get out of my way! It's all her fault. If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't have ignored me!” Greta had been upset about this.

“Greta, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? What does my lack of interest in you have anything to do with them? You should calm down. What you're doing now is illegal. Do you realize that?” Simon was overwhelmed with frustration. Didn't I make it clear to her before? There's no way I'll ever like her. How can she blame her own obstinance on someone else?

“Of course it has everything to do with her. Before she appeared, I could still stay by your side, but look at what's going on now. You don't even care about my existence! Simon, my feelings for you are real. Can't you even spare me a little attention?”

Greta sobbed as she bared her soul. That was the dream she held on to all this while—one where she couldn't accept seeing it shattered.

Simon furrowed his brows.

“Greta, do you really like me for who I am? Would you still feel the same way if I wasn't the son of the hospital director?”

Simon had always been a rich playboy.

Even though he barely had any skills, he wasn't a fool. He could still tell what Greta was really interested in.

“Simon, my feelings for you are true. Why can't you see it?” Greta felt extremely aggrieved.

“Sophie, let's go!” Sandra pulled Sophie in an attempt to get her to leave. This is no joke. Greta has gone berserk and must be planning on splashing Sophie's face with acid given her hatred for Sophie.

“You should step aside!”

Greta has lost her marbles. Simon will definitely be at the receiving end of the acid if it splashes out.

“But—” Sandra was at a loss when she looked at the hysterical Greta. Any girl in her position would definitely be concerned about her own appearance.

She knew well the consequences of having the concentrated sulphuric acid come into contact with her face or body.

However, if Sophie refused to leave, she wouldn't be a good friend if she were to hide on her own.

“Sophie, just go! Don't worry about me. She wouldn't dare to lay a finger on me!” Simon said with certainty.

Greta's target is Sophie. As long as she leaves, Greta will not dare to do anything.

“Simon!”

Greta was livid, but before she knew it, Sophie had already appeared in front of her, prying away the bottle of concentrated sulphuric acid she was holding from her hands.

Upon regaining her senses, Greta reached out to grab Sophie's hand in return.

Sophie's brows knitted, as she hated it when someone touched her. Greta had unwittingly crossed one of her thresholds.

“Let go!” Sophie warned in an icy tone.

“No. I'm going to kill you today if that's the last thing I do!” A maniacal expression had taken over Greta's face, her bloodshot eyes glistening with rage.

“Since you have a death wish, your wish is my command.” With that, Sophie spun around and unleashed a whirlwind kick at Greta, throwing her back a significant distance.

Greta screamed in agony upon crashing to the ground.

“Sophie, you—”

Despite her desperate effort to get back up, she just couldn't do so no matter how hard she struggled.

The spot Sophie had kicked her in was still hurting excruciatingly, to the extent she could barely catch her breath.

At the sudden turn of events, Sandra dashed forward and took the bottle of concentrated sulphuric acid from Sophie's hand.

It was then that the teacher in charge of the lab noticed a bottle missing while taking stock.

Filled with a sense of dread, he searched all around for it until he found it with the group.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he realized nothing serious had happened.

“This bottle of concentrated sulphuric acid belongs to the lab. Please return it to me,” the teacher instructed at once.

He needed to put the bottle back before his superior found out. Otherwise, he would lose his job.

“Sir, how did this bottle of concentrated sulphuric acid end up here?” Simon demanded upon realizing what was going on.

There's something suspicious about this teacher's attitude.

“How would I know? Isn't it obvious someone stole it? Give it back to me quickly. I need to return it at once!” He asserted his authority. “What's with all the questions? Is this any of your business?”

As there were many watching, the lab teacher wanted to nip the problem in the bud as soon as possible, which explained his hostile attitude.

“Sir, I think you should report this matter to the chancellor.”

Concentrated sulphuric acid is an extremely dangerous substance. Since he's in charge of the lab, it's his responsibility to make sure they're all accounted for. He has to be held accountable for his mistake.

The lab teacher hadn't met Sophie before. Other than knowing that she had a pretty face, he had no idea what her background was.

“It's clear to me that you no longer intend to continue your studies. Today will be your last day here.” He only dared to say such a thing because he was also well-connected.

Sandra retorted, “Sir, this is evidently your fault, and yet you're trying to threaten us? There's no way you're going to get us to leave.”

Meanwhile, Greta had finally picked herself up.

At the sight of the lab teacher, she cried out, “Uncle, they bullied me!”

It turned out that the man was Greta's uncle. Their relationship was what allowed her to slip into the physics lab to steal the bottle of concentrated sulphuric acid.

Greta's response triggered the urge in the lab teacher to strangle her to death.

“Greta, who allowed you to take the bottle of concentrated sulphuric acid from the lab? Even if you have a death wish, you shouldn't drag me along with you.” It wasn't easy for me to get this job.

Sophie arched a brow.

“Simon, call the police. Let them deal with this,” Sophie said.

There's more to the matter than meets the eye.

“I'm on it.” Greta has broken the law. I'm afraid this is a matter for the police to deal with.

“Uncle, they—”

The lab teacher dashed up to her and gave her a slap.

“Guys, whatever it is, I'm sure we can work it out. Once the police are involved, it will be detrimental to the school's reputation. Furthermore—” The lab teacher had wanted to say that he would lose his job if the matter escalated any further. “I'm willing to agree to any demands you have as long as you don't report this to the police.” Anxiety swelled within him.

Sophie responded with a snort. “We don't need anything from you. Call the cops!”

I am not going to waste any more time on this. If it had been some other girl in my place, she would have already been disfigured. As for these guys, they should be held responsible for their actions.

“Uncle, give me the acid!” Greta refused to back down. Since I'm going to prison, I might as well disfigure Sophie.
