Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 69 You Love A Crowd

think it’d be nice to crash the party,” Sophie explained. More importantly, I know Winter’s not going to like me.“It’s fine. We’ll only stay for a while, and I’ll send you home.”“All right, then!”As soon as Sophie got up, her long, slender legs stood out even more.Alas, the men with Letitia noticed that and quickly made their way toward her.After all, how could they let a perfect prey slip away?The lustful man from before whipped out a wad of cash from his bag and slammed it on the table. “Well? Is this enough?”Sophie instinctively glanced at Tristan, but before she could say anything else, the man shouted, “Why are you looking at him? I have all the money in the world, and if you don’t think this is enough, I’ll give you more!”With that, he tossed another thick wad of cash onto the table.“Hey, missy, I really like you. As long as you leave with me tonight, I’ll give you any amount of money that you desire.”Winter, who had overheard the conversation, couldn’t help snickering.Oh, my. I wonder how Mr. Tristan would feel after witnessing that. Sophie is such a fool! Doesn’t she know she’s digging her own grave? Once again, this proves I’m the only one worthy of being with Tristan!Sophie suddenly burst out laughing. What’s wrong with this guy? Doesn’t he know he’s playing with fire?“Is it still not enough? Fine. I have more!” the man thundered as he slapped another hundred thousand in cold, hard cash on the table.“Wait a minute. You are—”“Yes, I’m Trevor Gardner! You might not have heard of me, but I’m sure you know my father, Brayden Gardner!”“Brayden Gardner? Oh, so you’re his son,” Tristan said coldly with a glint in his eyes.“That’s right! Look, missy, even he knows who my father is! Why don’t you be my girlfriend? I’m serious about it!” Trevor exclaimed as he grinned from ear to ear.“You want me to be your girlfriend?”“Yes. What do you think? Leave with me tonight!”Alas, Trevor still had no idea who he had just offended.“Wait a minute,” Sophie muttered before taking her phone out to make a call.As soon as the call got through, she immediately rattled off the address of Nocturnal. “That’s the bar I’m in. Bring a few of your kind over here right now.”Then, she hung up the phone.“Wow, so you love a crowd! That’s no problem. I know many people who would be happy to join us!” Trevor said with a lewd smile. “I see we’re the same kind!”By then, Sophie could no longer be bothered to answer him.Tristan, though, couldn’t help but chime in, “You’re courting disaster.”How dare he perv on my love!“Why are you so angry? Calm down. If you like, we can rope you in too. You’re quite a looker yourself,” Trevor uttered as he looked Tristan up and down. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind trying it out with a man for once.Unable to hold it in any longer, Sophie burst out laughing.“Do you know who he is?” she asked amid guffaws. I got to hand it to him for even thinking about touching Mr. Tristan.“Does it matter who he is? What’s most important is who I am, isn’t it?”“Mr. Tristan, he said you’re not important.”“M-Mr. Tristan? Hey, missy, cut it out. Y-Your joke is not funny…” Trevor stammered. His father had once warned him not to mess with anyone from the four major families of Jipsdale, especially not with the head of the families, Tristan Lombard.“You’ve got some guts,” Tristan said as he finally got up from his seat. “So you want to play, huh?”“You guys can’t scare me! Why would the real Mr. Tristan show up in a place like this? I’m not dumb!” Trevor retorted, even though he could feel his legs turning into jelly.“I’m indeed Tristan Lombard. You can now think about how you should die to appease me.”Upon hearing that, Trevor immediately fell to his knees.“I-Is that really you, Mr. Tristan? Oh, my goodness. I’m such a fool. I didn’t mean to put you down. I’m so sorry!”“Is that all?” Tristan snapped, his voice even louder now. “Do you have a warped understanding of who I am? Is that why you think I’m a kind person who’d easily forgive those
