Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 94 A Truly Swollen Face

it. You may not know whether your handbag is authentic, but you did slap my colleague across the face.”The woman fell silent instantly.“Tell me, how much do you think you should pay us for the slap?” Sophie pressed on.“Heh… I knew it! You lot are trying to con me of my money! Have you Chanaeans forgotten where you are right now? How dare you try to con me in my own country?”“I think you should forget about it, Miss. She’s the wife of a business conglomerate.”Unlike in other countries, business conglomerates were incredibly powerful in Koandria.“I am not going to let this slide!” Sophie insisted.The woman pulled out a ten thousand note from her purse and threw it at Wendy.“There, is that good enough for you? That’s ten thousand for a slap!”Sophie got so angry that she actually felt a little amused. This woman sure is something else! I can’t believe she actually managed to anger me!“Oh… A slap is only worth ten thousand to you, huh? Since you like hitting people so much, I’ll play a little game with you!”She stepped forward and slapped the woman repeatedly across the face.Those slaps were so hard that they left the woman stunned with her ears ringing.It took her every ounce of strength she had just to remain on her feet.“How many times did I hit her?” Sophie asked.“Ten times,” Wilma replied.Sophie took the purse from Wilma and threw ninety thousand at the woman’s face.“You want to make more money? I’d be happy to keep oblige if you do, but my hands are a little tired, so I’ll pay someone else to do it for me.”“You… Just you all wait and see!” the woman spat those words out before fleeing the scene.“Are you sure it’s okay to do that, Ms. Sophie? Business conglomerates hold a great amount of power here!” Although it was incredibly satisfying to put that woman in her place, they were still worried about the potential repercussions of their actions.“Don’t worry! I’m here with all of you!” Sophie reassured them.I wouldn’t have done that if I were afraid of the consequences! Besides, a business conglomerate from Jinrich Island is nothing compared to me!Tristan, Felix, and Ysabelle came running over when they noticed the commotion.“What happened?” Ysabelle asked.“It’s nothing. Some idiot just tried to bully us, that’s all.”Sophie refused to let anyone make a fool of her.Fearing that Sophie would get into trouble because of her, Wendy said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Ms. Sophie! I really didn’t mean for this to happen!”Tristan glanced at Wendy’s face and said, “Felix, get a doctor over here.”“On it!”After hearing that Sophie had slapped someone ten times, Tristan held her hand and examined it as he asked, “Does your hand hurt?”According to the law of action and reaction, it would make perfect sense for her hand to be hurting after hitting someone that many times. Honestly, she shouldn’t even have to get her hands dirty like this.Sophie and everyone else fell silent upon seeing his behavior.“Next time, let me do the hitting.”“All right, I’ll keep that in mind.”Everyone else then returned to their rooms while a doctor tended to Wendy’s injury.After hearing the doctor declare that she was all right, they headed over to the beach as they had originally planned.The girls were quick to forget the unpleasant incident from earlier the moment they saw how beautiful the scenery was.However, it wasn’t in Tristan’s nature to forgive and forget like that.“There is no longer any reason for that woman to exist now that she has offended me. Have Sean take care of this.”“You sure are protective of Sophie, Mr. Tristan!”“Of course. She’s mine, and I’m not about to let anyone bully her.”Felix fell speechless upon hearing that.Given how powerful Sophie is, I highly doubt anyone has what it takes to bully her!As Ysabelle found Wilma pleasant to hang out with, she decided to befriend her and said, “Let’s add each other on WhatsApp, Ms. Lineker! From now on, you may feel free to contact me if you ever need anything. I may not be as powerful as Soph, but I might just be able to help out!”Naturally, Wilma was well aware of Ysabelle’s capabilities.Having taken a liking to her personality as well, Wilma agreed to her suggestion readily, “Sure thing!”Since the weather was great that day, Sophie decided to get off the chair and go for a stroll.She took her shoes off and walked along the beach with her feet in the water.“I believe I’ve made myself clear enough, yes?”“Don’t worry, Mr. Tristan!
