Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 123 A Drastic Turn

on earth is she trying to do?“Lodge a police report? Great! I’m more than happy if you do that. Now that you’re slandering me, I believe the police will seek justice for me. What are you still waiting for? Don’t you know how to lodge one? Or perhaps you need me to guide you on that?”Whitlea blew a fuse, her entire body trembling uncontrollably. “Where are your manners? Don’t you know the young ones like you have to be respectful to the elders?”“Elders? Boy, you have the cheek to proclaim yourself as my elder. Why should I be respectful of you? Do you deserve my respect? Who do you think you are?” Sophie scoffed. Once provoked, she would not think twice about retaliating relentlessly. “You will know if you’ve slandered me after watching this video clip. As an adult, I hope you can reflect on the mistake you’ve committed and apologize to me later!”“What’s the matter with you? How dare a lowly student like you request we adults to apologize to you? You’re talking nonsense!” Franky stood in front of Whitlea, fending off Sophie’s words.Sophie snorted coldly. Is that how an adult should behave? How ridiculous!Without hesitation, she played the video clip.It lasted barely twenty minutes, but it was enough to let everyone have a grasp of the situation. Sophie was undoubtedly the victim as she did nothing and was oblivious to everything throughout the time.Whitlea’s face fell in an instant. Even though the video had proved that Sophie did not commit a wrong deed, she considered the latter to have gone against her by playing the video clip in front of everyone.How could my son gaze at a delinquent in such a way? She could not accept the fact that her son had fallen for Sophie instead of demure young ladies from prominent families she had shortlisted for him.Andy approached Sophie and said, “Everyone, it’s merely a misunderstanding this time. Sophie is really talented. Mr. Elswick is even planning to let her take part in the physics competition this time. I’m convinced she’ll be able to make us proud.”“Andy!” Whitlea almost burst a blood vessel. Doesn’t he know I’m planning to let Bailey take part in the physics competition?Sophie asked indifferently, “So, are you still lodging a police report? I’ve uploaded this video clip on the school forum. I wonder what those students who can’t seem to distinguish between right and wrong will say again!”“Mdm. Dixon, why not put everything to an end? After all, the top management is extremely displeased with this hiccup. If the situation escalates, Jipsdale Premier High’s reputation will be ruined.” One of the directors tried to talk Whitlea into changing her mind.“I agree with him. What’s important now is that we should try to resolve this matter as soon as possible so it won’t tarnish the image of our school. Otherwise, I’m afraid it will affect the new intake of students next year,” another director chimed in.Unequivocally, the students’ backgrounds played a major part. Instead of relying on the teachers to play their roles well in educating them, it was relatively important to ensure the students enrolled in their school were of virtue.“Wait a minute! Someone has obviously set Sophie up and instigated the others to go against her,” Andy pointed out. What are the culprit’s ulterior motives for editing the photos? Did Sophie step on anyone’s toes?“Sophie, do you know who posted these photos?” Andy asked.“I do.”“Sophie is obviously the victim in this matter. In my opinion, the school should seek justice for her.”“It’s all right. I’ll settle the issue with my own method.” I’m not a crybaby who will only grumble to the teachers whenever I encounter any problems!“Let’s put an end to this.
