Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 119 Standing Up For Her

the many people around.“You’re making it sound like your family owns the school, Mdm. Dixon.” Sophie was full of contempt. She’s one arrogant woman, huh? It’s a pity she still doesn’t have that much capability to act so snobbishly.“Don’t go on anymore, Sophie.” Derrick looked at her concernedly. In truth, almost everyone was aware that Whitlea’s father was part of the underworld. Although he had since steered away, the mere thought of it still freaked Derrick out. “I believe this matter is truly a misunderstanding, Mdm. Dixon. It was Mr. Elswick who arranged for them to participate in the physics competition together. If you’re bothered by it, I’ll make sure she doesn’t appear together with Bailey in the future. She’s still young. I hope you’ll let her off this time.”Derrick was a genuinely responsible teacher who cared a lot about his students. Knowing that Sophie would have a bright future, he did not want her to suffer any harm or grievance because of the matter. He adored her as a student.“Mr. Hayes, do you think you’re qualified to speak when you’ve taught someone to become so shameless?” Whitlea spared no consideration for Derrick.“Don’t bother yourself with this matter, Mr. Hayes. I won’t leave Jipsdale Premier High.”“Mr. Langston!” Whitlea felt that the entire discussion was a waste of time.In the end, Andy still picked Felix’s side. After all, the latter was someone he could not afford to offend.“I’m sorry, Mdm. Dixon. Before we get to the bottom of this matter, I can’t just expel Sophie.” It was probably the first time Andy had been so firm.Derrick could not help but sneak a glance at Andy in awe.As expected, Mr. Langston does have the bearing of a principal. He doesn’t bow down to power or authority.Likewise, Sophie also turned to look at Andy. In fact, she could very well understand even if he chose to expel her from school at that point.“Very well. I guess I’ll have to hold a director’s meeting, then.” Rage had completely consumed Whitlea. She could not believe that Andy would make such a decision when he had been polite toward her all along.Whitlea stormed out and slammed the door shut.The rest in the principal’s office exchanged a look.“I’m sorry,” Bailey apologized on behalf of his mother.Seeing him that way, Sophie was unsure how to comfort him.Bailey is indeed a poor thing. Everyone is full of envy for him, yet no one expects him to be in such a pathetic state.“Bailey, you don’t have anything to do with this matter. Someone is targeting me, and it just so happened that you were there.”“Don’t give me that look.” Truth be told, Bailey did not like their gazes at all.He left the principal’s office, thinking that there was a need to have a good chat with Whitlea.I can’t just let things end here.“You should head back first, Sophie. I will think of something.” Andy believed he had to report the matter to Felix. “Mr. Hayes, you too. Go for your classes.”After
