Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439

Sophie pulled out a piece of gum from her pocket and tore the packaging open slowly before popping it into her mouth.

“How is Mark Wheeler related to you?” she asked.

They took Mark away, so she was sure he was somehow related to them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed them willingly.

The men shared a look when they heard Mark's name.

In the end, they insisted, “We don't know what you're talking about. Who is Mark Wheeler?”

“Looks like you won't reveal anything if I don't teach you a lesson, huh?” As Sophie chewed her gum, she approached the men.

“Young lady, don't come any closer. Otherwise, don't blame us for taking action.”

“Bring it!” Sophie responded casually.

She then delivered a roundhouse kick and sent a burly brute crashing to the ground.

“Guys, attack!”

They were all members of a gang, so it was embarrassing if they were defeated by a young lady.

Nevertheless, Sophie managed to defeat them all without breaking a sweat.

She then dusted her hands and stood before them.

“Spill the beans. As long as you tell the truth, I won't make things difficult for you,” Sophie announced. She was never a patient person, and at that moment, all her patience was gone.

“We don't know what you're talking about. Mark Wheeler? I don't know who he is!” one of the thugs insisted.

Sophie frowned. “Are you sure?” She gave him one last chance to spill the truth.

“I don't know anything!”

Sophie strode over, grabbed the thug's wrist, and gave it a forceful twist, causing him to yelp in anguish.

He broke into a cold sweat. “Have mercy on me,” he begged.

“Do you really not know who Mark Wheeler is?” she demanded. Something is fishy.

“We don't know who he is. We're just ordinary thugs.” These thugs knew nothing as they were at the lowest level of the hierarchy in the gang. They merely received orders from their superiors to stop Sophie.

They had no idea Sophie was this strong.

As the thug seemed to be telling the truth, Sophie released her grip on his wrist.

“I hope you're telling the truth. If I discover you'd been lying, I won't let this slide,” she cautioned.

Though she was quite a good-looking young lady, her words sent a chill down those thugs' spines.

Afterward, she spun on her heels and returned to the car.

Sunny's call arrived the moment she got into the car.

“Sophie, are you okay? Where are you?” Sunny asked anxiously. “Tell me. Did something happen to you?”

“I'm fine. I'll keep the car for now and drive it back to the company to return it to you tomorrow,” Sophie assured him.

Something's wrong. How is Mark related to Emerald Gang?

Sophie wasn't going to give up since she finally found a clue.

“The car isn't important. You can use it if you need it,” came Sunny's answer. As long as she was safe and sound, nothing else mattered.

“Okay. I'll hang up now.”

With that, Sophie hung up without even giving Sunny a chance to speak. After that, she promptly called Mark.

Just as she had expected, Mark's phone was switched off.

She tried calling him a few times but to no avail.

After that, she went straight to Wings of Light's headquarters. Butterfly had not seen her for some time and was delighted at her arrival.

“Why did you come without informing me in advance? Do you miss me?” she asked, reading too much into Sophie's sudden appearance.

“Of course not. I came here to investigate something,” replied Sophie.

“Oh, I see. I thought you missed me. How could you treat me like that? I helped you take care of Wings of Light, but you didn't even come and visit in your free time!” Butterfly complained.

“Oh.” Tristan was surprised to learn that.

He had never connected Mark to Emerald Gang before.

“What does his quitting have to do with his identity? Is he going to take over his father's position in Emerald Gang?”

That could be a possibility.

“Both matters should be related, but I'm not sure about the details,” Felix replied.

“You're useless!” Tristan rolled his eyes.

Felix didn't know what to say in response. He had gone through a lot of trouble digging up the information, but Tristan still regarded him with disdain. Does he have to be so mean?

“All right. Continue with your investigation,” Tristan finally said.

“Where are you going?” Felix demanded. He had just arrived and didn't even get to take a sip of water, but Tristan was already leaving.

“Back to Wisteria Apartments,” Tristan told him.

This is important, so I must tell Sophie in person. I wonder how she'll react upon discovering the truth!

"I knew it,” Felix grumbled.

At present, nothing was more important to Tristan than Sophie.

“What's wrong? Won't you be picking Ysabelle up today? She'll probably be practicing until late at night,” Tristan reminded. Has he given up on Ysabelle?

“Why does she insist on tiring herself out? It's just a debut. There's no need to work so hard,” Felix complained. He was upset about the fact that Ysabelle was currently focused on her career.

“Let her know your opinion, then,” Tristan returned.

It was useless for him to complain here, for Ysabelle would never hear his complaints.

“I wouldn't dare!” Felix muttered under his breath. Ysabelle was too hot-tempered to listen to his advice.
