Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 70 Keep Him Alive

a bar, for goodness’ sake. I’m already dressed very modestly for the occasion.“It’s nothing. Let’s go in!”Still seething with anger, Letitia ran off to inform Brayden.With Brayden around, Trevor will be fine, won’t he? Tristan and Sophie are feeling pretty smug now, but I’m sure the Gardners will never let them off! Just wait and see!As expected, Brayden immediately sent people to rescue Trevor when he got the call.However, upon learning who his son had offended, he was rendered speechless.“That a*shole! Does he know what he has done?”Brayden was a famous director, so it was natural for him to rub shoulders with high society.He might have heard of Tristan’s name, but he had never met the latter in person before.Despite that, he had always known that Tristan was someone he should never provoke, so why was his son dumb enough to poke the bear?“What should we do, then? We can’t possibly leave our only son in the lurch!” Brayden’s wife, Valerie, muttered.Brayden flew into a rage. “Why don’t you tell me? We’re up against Mr. Tristan, for goodness’ sake! No one in Jipsdale or even Chanaea dares to aggravate him! It’s all your fault. You’re home every day, yet you’ve failed to educate our child.”“You can rely on your connections, can’t you?” Valerie pleaded. “After all, you’re a famous director.

So be it. What baffles me more is why Mr. Tristan doesn’t seem too happy.“Scoot over,” Tristan instructed Felix.Without hesitation, the latter got up to sit with Sean, leaving the two-seater couch for Tristan and Sophie.The couple had just taken their seats when Tristan’s phone started ringing.After answering the call and listening for a few seconds, he scoffed, “Well, what do you think? His son pissed me off, so why shouldn’t I teach him a lesson to keep him in line? I won’t kill him, but if he continues antagonizing me, don’t blame me for changing my mind.”As it turned out, Brayden had managed to find
