Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 8 I Am Here For You

couldn’t wait anymore.“Mrs. Zales, this matter—”“What about this matter? It’s already clear as day that she picked on my daughter! Are you still determined to defend her now? What exactly is your relationship with her, Mr. Hayes?”Left with no other choice, Derrick could only have the discipline teacher come over.As soon as Selena saw the discipline teacher, Rhett Quillen, she instantly demanded, “You must give me an explanation today, Mr. Quillen! Look at my daughter’s foot. If you can’t handle this problem well today, I’ll have no choice but to hand the matter over to the police. This is intentional assault!”Rhett alternated his gaze between the fuming woman and Sophie, who said nothing at all.“What exactly happened here, Mr. Hayes? Isn’t she a new transfer student? It’s only her first day here, and she has created such a huge mess?”“Mr. Quillen, it’s normal to have conflicts between girls. I think there’s no need for us to make a mountain out of a molehill.”“I’m making a mountain out of a molehill? How could you say that, Mr. Hayes?”“Since Sophie is at fault, have her parents come and take her away.” Rhett made that decision after glimpsing Yvonne’s foot.Meanwhile, Ysabelle called Tristan at once when she saw someone summoning Sophie away.“Come over quickly, Uncle Tristan! Someone at school picked on me!”Tristan was in a meeting when he received her call.“Go to your father instead.”“Uncle Tristan, my father will kill me if he learns about this. Hurry up and come over!” Ysabelle was on the verge of tears. After all, Sophie only trod on Yvonne’s leg because of her.Knowing how much William loved that granddaughter of his, Tristan left his work uncompleted in the end and went to Jipsdale Premier High with Felix.At the school, Rhett had Sophie call her parents and have them come over.Ysabelle knocked on the door. After obtaining permission to enter, she immediately went in.“Mr. Quillen, this matter has nothing to do with Sophie. It was Yvonne who picked on me.”At the sight of her, Rhett’s brows inexorably creased.“What do you know, girl? Yvonne has always been a good student with impeccable character and grades, while Sophie has always been notorious. Do you think Mr. Quillen will believe that?”“All I said was true! Mr. Hayes, it was really Yvonne’s fault!”Ysabelle was frantic to the point of tears when she saw that they didn’t believe her.“You’re not needed here, Ysabelle. Go back.” Sophie hadn’t expected her to come over.However, Ysabelle walked right up to her.“Don’t be afraid, Sophie. I’m here for you!”Truly, Sophie never thought that she would hear such words from another girl.“Look, Mr. Quillen! They’re in cahoots. Expel them both! Allowing such students to stay will only affect the reputation of Jipsdale Premier High!” Selena continued kicking up a fuss unreasonably.Rhett couldn’t quite figure out Ysabelle’s background, so he didn’t dare make a decision then.“Mrs. Zales, this matter—”“If you can’t handle this matter today, Mr. Quillen, then I’ll have no choice but to call Mr. Langston.” Selena put pressure on him.Rhett knew the status of the Zales family in Jipsdale. As an inconsequential character, he didn’t dare offend them.“In that case, we shall expel them both,” Rhett murmured helplessly.“Mr. Quillen, neither of them committed any major mistakes. How could you expel them just like this?” Derrick felt that it was too hasty a decision. He held himself responsible for every single student in the class, so he didn’t harbor any prejudice against Sophie despite knowing that her grades were atrocious.“This matter is decided, Mr. Hayes. Mrs. Zales, I heard that your company are recently—”“Mr. Quillen is really unreasonable!” Even Ysabelle, who was as timid as a mouse, couldn’t help getting mad by then. She then continued, “Don’t worry, Sophie.
