Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 145 Kneel And Beg

them around and taking photos of them secretly.” As Sophie was telling Tristan what had happened, she couldn’t help but feel amused. Who would’ve thought that there comes a day when I’m accused of taking photos of someone secretly? The funniest part is that my target is a low-grade star!“I’m so sorry, but I think there must be a misunderstanding.”Because of how scary Tristan was, Lorelei apologized immediately. No matter what, we should just get this conflict sorted out.“Hey, young man. Your girlfriend did take photos of someone secretly. Just let it slide, okay? You know where the Zales family stands in Jipsdale, right? You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them,” a kind-hearted man cautioned Tristan. I doubt they know what they’re getting themselves into.That was the first time Tristan was told that he couldn’t afford to mess with the Zales family.“Mr. Zales, how do you plan on settling this conflict? Your woman crossed my girlfriend. We need to settle the score, no?” Tristan asked.Upon hearing that, everyone at the scene was taken aback. None of them had expected Tristan to have the balls to talk to Clayton that way. Who exactly is this young man?“Mr. Tristan, is this necessary? I bet this is all just a misunderstanding. Since no harm was done, perhaps we should just act as if nothing had happened.” Unlike everyone else, Clayton was well aware of who he was dealing with. He had always schemed from behind the scene and avoided facing Tristan head-on because he knew exactly how scary he was.“Mr. Tristan?” Lorelei’s knees went weak immediately.Based on her identity, there was no way she would ever have a chance to see Tristan. Since Clayton said this man is Mr. Tristan, that must be him. He’s a legend and a myth in Jipsdale. Not only is he ruthless, but he’s also cold-hearted.Fortunately for her, she managed to grasp Clayton’s shirt just in time. Otherwise, she would’ve slumped to the ground.“Mr. Tristan, out of respect for me, would you be willing to let this slide?” Either way, Clayton had to protect Lorelei because she was his woman.“Out of respect for you?” Tristan thought he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. “Mr. Zales, I barely know you. What kind of respect do you expect me to have for you?”Tristan took Sophie’s phone from her hand and pressed a few buttons. Just like that, he managed to switch on the phone.There were a lot of people nearby, but no one said a word. They were all looking at Tristan and wondering about he was doing with the phone.After he switched the phone on, he pressed on the photo album.After looking through the photos, he tossed the phone to Lorelei. “Ms. Crawford, please check if there’s any photo of yours in there, will you?”Lorelei’s hands were trembling at that point. Even if there were photos of her in there, she wouldn’t dare to say it.However, she could not fine any.“I…” Lorelei couldn’t even spit her words out. Most people in the entertainment industry would pay her the utmost respect. Hence, she had a false sense of superiority.That day, however, she had gotten herself into deep trouble, and there was nothing she could do to salvage the situation.“I’m sorry. I must’ve been w-wrong,” Lorelei stammered.“Well, why are you apologizing to me for? You’ve got the wrong person.” Tristan crossed his arms and looked down at her.“I’m truly sorry, little girl. I’ve misunderstood you. Please forgive me, okay?” Lorelei apologized.The crowd was stunned. Who is this man? How did he make Clayton’s girlfriend beg for forgiveness?“Now you’re sorry? Where did your arrogance go?” Sophie scoffed. She despised people like Lorelei. Since she dared to act haughtily, she should just maintain it. She’s apologizing just because Tristan showed up. She’s just a disgusting coward.Lorelei’s legs could barely support herself, and she dropped to her knees. “I’m sorry. I get it now. I won’t do such a thing again.”Despite always being an arrogant person, Lorelei had no choice but to kneel and beg for forgiveness in front of Tristan.While that was happening, Clayton merely stood beside her and kept quiet.“Let’s go!” Tristan was unhappy with himself. If I didn’t answer the phone in the car just now, I wouldn’t get caught up for so long, and she wouldn’t have to endure everything on her own.She took the initiative and held his hand. It was as if she knew he was blaming himself for what had happened. “I’m fine, really. I’m not bothered by what they said.”For some unknown reason, the more time she spent with Tristan, the more she didn’t like to see him blaming himself.“Clayton,
