Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 132 Disobedience

the instant he heard what Ysabelle said. Which bloody idiot is it? How dare they come after the woman I love?“I don’t know. I won’t be panicking if I actually know who the culprit is. Are you busy now? Can you drop by and look into the matter?”“Okay, I’ll head over right away.”Tristan was supposed to have lunch with a business partner that day, but Ysabelle’s words made him lost his appetite.“Mr. Tristan, I thought we are going to have lunch together.
