Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 62 Amorous Atmosphere

for my birthday gift.”She couldn’t imagine Sophie having forked out ten million on this rock.“You’re most welcome. It’s just ten million, anyway. Anything is worth it as long as you like it.”Sophie truly didn’t care about the price. All that mattered was that Ysabelle liked the gift.“I love it!”Felix felt a little sheepish now, for his gift no longer seemed as extravagant compared to what Sophie had prepared.Sophie didn’t like being in crowded places, so she turned and left after the cake-cutting ceremony, heading outside to enjoy the night view of the city.Yet, no matter how much she tried to avoid trouble, trouble always seemed to follow her.With her group of friends, Danielle walked toward Sophie.“Mr. Tristan helped you get that rock, didn’t he, Sophie? It’s not like your family has that much money anyway.”Danielle refused to believe that Sophie could afford something this expensive.“Yeah! Even if you don’t admit it, that necklace you’re wearing is more than enough proof. I saw Mr. Tristan buy it at an auction with my own eyes.”“There’s no way a peasant like you can afford something worth ten million.”“Well, if thinking that way makes you happy, I won’t stop you,” Sophie replied calmly. “Are you done? Can you buzz off now?”“Buzz off? Who are you telling to buzz off? Just who do you think you are?” Danielle retorted in an attempt to establish dominance.“You.

There’s no way Mr. Tristan would fall for a b*tch like her!”“Danielle, we’re saying this for your own good.”“Then I suppose I’ll have to thank you, huh?” I won’t accept this. I’ve prepared myself all this while and learned so many things just so I could marry Mr. Tristan one day. I’m not going to let anyone else have him!Sophie headed back in to look for Ysabelle. The cruise ship was still out above the waters, so she had no way of getting off. Then, she thought of going to Ysabelle’s room, only to find it locked.Left with no other choice, she could only head to Tristan’s room.Sticking with him is still better than being around those stupid girls.Standing in front of the door, Sophie only had to knock thrice before it flew open.“I don’t have anywhere else to go, so I thought I’d hang out here for a while. If it’s not okay with you…”She trailed off upon noticing a gorgeous woman inside his room.“It’s no problem at all, but give me a second. I have some trash to take care of.”After responding, Tristan turned around.“Get out of my room, or I’ll feed you to the sharks.”He had
