Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 32 Support

clear the pool.” Tristan glanced at her. She’s wearing too little. I already couldn’t take it when she wore that ultra-short skirt and high-waist shirt, yet now she’s wearing a swimsuit. I really don’t like other men looking at her.“No, I’m going to change back to my clothes.” She had lost the mood to swim.Tristan grabbed her hand and pulled her back. “You’re free to fight if you want to. Just make sure you don’t get hurt.” Even if you injure or kill someone, with my support, there’s nothing you need to worry about.While that was happening, Felix had already pulled Ysabelle out.“Let go of me, Felix! Why are you pulling me out? It’s too dangerous for Soph to be inside there alone!” she shouted.Felix was rendered speechless. “Are you worried your uncle’s going to eat her whole? I think you should just focus on taking care of yourself.”She pouted as she felt aggrieved. “Aren’t you sick of looking at me all day? Why do you keep clinging to me?”“Who says that I’m sick of looking at you?”“I do.” Ysabelle rolled her eyes before entering the shuttle bus headed back to the hotel.Felix immediately followed her into the vehicle. Just what did I do this time to piss her off? A woman’s thoughts are too hard for me to guess.When Sophie exited the changing room, she saw Tristan waiting for her. She approached him before both of them left together.Charles and Sean had other things to do, so they left first.When Tristan and Sophie returned to the hotel, they saw Felix standing outside of Ysabelle’s room.It didn’t matter what Felix said – Ysabelle refused to open the door.“What’s wrong with her?” Sophie asked while shooting Felix a sharp look.“I don’t know.”She knocked on the door. “Ysabelle, are you in there? Can I come in?”When Ysabelle heard Sophie’s voice, she opened the door.Sophie saw her friend’s red eyes and asked, “What’s wrong? Did Felix bully you? Do you want me to teach him a lesson?”“No. I don’t know what’s going on with me either,” Ysabelle answered.“It’s good that you’re fine.”When Monday rolled around, it was time for the monthly exam. Sophie got up from her bed, put on her uniform, and went out.She bought two buns on her way to school.Before Sophie could eat them, Willow got off a car and faced her. It would appear that Willow had been waiting for her.“Why do you live in Wisteria Apartments?” Willow asked. Even though Wisteria Apartments wasn’t a mansion district, the housing price was still ridiculously high due to its unique geographical location.Back when she wanted to attend Jipsdale Premier High, she had asked her father to buy her a house there. Her father had declined her request.Sophie’s expression darkened too, as she didn’t want to meet someone she disliked so early in the morning. “Why does it matter to you where I’m living?”“You should know your place, Sophie. I’m here today to tell you that Dad doesn’t want you to take Grandpa’s shares.”“Is it him or you who doesn’t want that to happen? Are you feeling really scared now, Willow? Afraid that you won’t have everything you want in the palm of your hands?” Sophie taunted.“What do you mean?” While Willow was infuriated and upset, she still pretended to be fine on the surface.“Then again, how can you lose something that was never yours to begin with?”Willow’s expression changed in response to Sophie’s words. Why does she look like she has everything in her control? I hate that look!She tightened her fists, looking as though she wanted to tear the disguise on her face down. “Don’t act so smugly, Sophie! You don’t have the right to take the shares from me when your reputation is in shambles!”“Oh! I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it. What
