Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 113 Feeling Smug

post is deleted, find out who’s responsible for this, and demand the culprit apologize to you.”Bailey left as soon as he said that.“I’ve always thought he’s quite a dashing man. Now that I’ve seen him defending you like that, he’s even more charming now,” Ysabelle said. “But, Soph, no matter how dashing he is, he’s never going to surpass Uncle Tristan. He really likes you.”Sophie was rendered speechless.“I’m serious. Do you think I should tell Uncle Tristan about this?”“No. It’s just a small fight between classmates. Why bother him with such trivial matters?”“Oh, please, as long as it concerns you, I’m sure it’s no trivial matter to Uncle Tristan.”“I said, do not tell him,” Sophie snapped.“Soph, Uncle Tristan is not like the other shallow-minded people. He believes in you. I’m sure he will believe whatever you say, just like I do. What other people say will never make us doubt you.”Ysabelle thought it was best for her to put in a few good words for her uncle. Otherwise, she thought Sophie might really get snitched by the outstanding men swarming around her.When they were having lunch in the cafeteria, Ysabelle accidentally bumped into Willow. What a small world.Willow’s tray was knocked to the ground.“Are you blind?” the girl beside Willow yelled.“Are you all right, Willa? Were you scalded? They did this on purpose! Did you guys see her? She’s doing this because she couldn’t get Mason!”“How are you so shameless, Sophie?”“How is it possible that he asked you to do something like that at school? How shameless can she be?”“Jipsdale Premier High is a renowned school. How could we have students like her? This is so humiliating.”All girls in the cafeteria gesticulated at Sophie right then as they desperately wished they could throw her out.Ysabelle was stumped, for Sophie had done nothing wrong.In fact, Ysabelle was the one who had bumped into Sophie. However, nobody cared, and they put all the blame on her as they chastised her.“You’d better go see an ophthalmologist at the hospital if your eyesight is so terrible. I could sponsor the fees,” Ysabelle retorted. She could not stand them slandering Sophie. “I was the one who bumped into Willow. Why are you guys hounding her? Why, are you guys not satisfied with being keyboard warriors on the forum? Come to think of it, I really do believe that you guys were the ones who posted those posts on the forum.”“Does it matter who posted them? It’s the truth anyway.”“You guys will know if it matters once I find out who the culprit is.” Sophie snickered. These people really think they can leave unscathed after getting on my nerves.In the past, she could not be bothered by them as she had thought that they were beneath her.However, it was apparent that they had reckoned that she was the type to just suffer in silence. You guys are dead wrong. Sophie found the shallow-minded people amusing.Willow’s lips curled into a mocking grin. Is she still not going to give up even after this? Her reputation is down in the dumps. Who’s willing to be associated with her right now?Sophie glanced at Willow.Look at that smug smile on her face. Does Willow really think I can do nothing about her? Does she still think I am still the gullible and weak Sophie from five years ago?Willow instinctively retreated a few steps back when she locked eyes with Sophie. She found the latter’s gaze oddly intimidating. Sophie had done nothing, and yet Willow felt a chill down her spine.However, at the thought that no one could trace any posts on the forum back to her, Willow regained her composure. What can Sophie do to me anyway?She had nothing to fear because she had taken no part in anything that had happened. She was merely an observer.“Sophie, why are you looking at Willow like that? You’ve committed such a disgraceful act, and yet you have the cheek to glare at her. Who do you think you are? Are you trying to pick a fight?” Willow did not have to say anything, as there would be others who would speak up for her. She only had to stand graciously aside and put on an innocent look. This had always been Willow’s tactic.“Even if fifty more people were to come, I don’t think all of you combined would be able to rival me. But I don’t wish to dirty my hands by hitting the lot of you,” Sophie spat out. She sounded arrogant,
