Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 404

“Sophie, how could you talk to the leader in that tone?” Yale scolded. “He's an important man, for goodness' sake! If we get into his good books, we'll have an excellent chance of becoming a prominent family.”

Alas, Sophie was utterly indifferent to her father's fuss.

“It's okay, Mr. Tanner. Sophie is still young. There's nothing wrong with being a little wild at heart!” the great leader remarked as he waved off Yale's concern. “Sophie, may I speak to you in private?”

Sophie nodded.

He's already here, so how can I possibly say no? I'd be lying to myself if I thought I could get out of this...

A frown crept across Tristan's face, but he managed to hold himself back from stopping the leader. After all, even he had to show the latter some respect. “I'll wait for you outside. Give me a call if you need anything.”

Given that it was the first time the great leader had seen such a reaction from Tristan, he quickly broke into a bemused smile. “My, my, is that necessary? Do you honestly think I'd take advantage of the young lady?”

Even though the great leader was only joking, Tristan glared at him, visibly annoyed. “What the hell do you want?”

Having been in a position of power for so long, the great leader barely flinched at the sudden outburst.

“Sophie, your boyfriend's not a good fit. My son, on the other hand, is around your age. How about I introduce him to you?” he teased.

This idea is brilliant! If Sophie becomes my daughter-in-law, she'll also be a member of my camp. What a superb arrangement!

Unfortunately, that only spiked Tristan's anger.

He could put up with many things, but he'd never allow anyone to lay a finger on Sophie.

“Try it if you dare, and I'll remove you from your position!” Tristan said arrogantly.

Naturally, he didn't fear the consequences of his words. After all, he could afford to be arrogant.
