Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 531

There were a lot of rare items at the auction that day. The competition started right from the beginning.

Some bidders were truly interested in the items they were bidding for, while others were either bidding for charity purposes or to seek attention.

The auction venue was bustling with activity.

Almost everyone raised their paddles to bid for the first few items, which started at lower prices.

However, Sophie was not very interested in any of those items.

Jennifer was sitting next to them. A contemptuous sneer crept across her face when she noticed that Sophie had not raised her auction paddle at all.

Indeed, she's just a bimbo who doesn't know anything. How can she be compared to me?

Ysabelle felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw the look on Jennifer's face.

Who is Ms. Whitley looking down on?

She knew that Sophie was simply not interested in such things and had exquisite tastes, judging by the stone that Sophie had gifted her on her eighteenth birthday.

Yet, those socialites thought that Sophie was just ignorant. Some even assumed that she could not afford anything.

“Is there anything you fancy?” Tristan asked Sophie. “Let me know if there's something you want. I'll get it for you!”

Sophie shook her head as there was nothing that caught her eye.

“Nothing really stands out to me.”

Jennifer could not help but laugh when she heard what Sophie said.

How arrogant! Does she even know that today's auction items are all donated by some of the most prestigious families in Jipsdale?

These are all rare and valuable items!

This young lady is ridiculous! It's clear that she doesn't know anything, but she's still trying to put on an act.

“Ms. Tanner, you shouldn't be spouting nonsense if you don't know anything. These are all very valuable items.” Be careful of becoming a laughingstock if you continue acting smart.


Sophie did not pay any attention to Jennifer. Does she really think she knows everything? There's indeed nothing spectacular about these items!

Tristan was definitely not pleased with Jennifer's attitude toward Sophie.

He shot Jennifer a glance and said, “Ms. Whitley, I don't doubt that you've seen a lot, but it's true that there's nothing extraordinary about these items.” Regardless of the circumstances, Tristan would always be on Sophie's side, and he did not need any reason to do that.

He would not allow anyone to humiliate Sophie.

Jennifer's expression darkened. She had wanted to flaunt her knowledge to impress Tristan, but she was reprimanded by the man instead.

Nevertheless, as the daughter of the Whitley family, no matter what happened, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to stomp off.

She could only remain in her seat.

“Just ignore her!” Tristan held Sophie's hand.

There was no need for Sophie to know so much. What he wanted was a girlfriend and not a jewelry appraiser.

Ysabelle felt rather bored during the first half of the auction until a new auction item caught her eye. It was a ruby that she could hardly take her eyes off.

“It's so beautiful!”

She was really fond of the red gemstone and desired to have it. How nice would it be if this was mine?

Sophie saw the ruby as well. It was indeed a gemstone of the highest grade and very finely crafted.

Every woman at the auction was attracted to the ruby, and Jennifer was no exception.

Ever since young, Sophie had always gotten everything she wanted.

Upon noticing that Ysabelle was interested in the gemstone as well, she decided to bid for it and give it to her friend.

“Do you like it?” Sophie asked Ysabelle.

“Yup! I love it so much!”

“I'll bid for it and give it to you, then!” It's just a ruby.

A few surrounding socialites who heard their conversation could not help but cast mocking glances at Sophie.

She's so arrogant!

Does the Tanner family even have that kind of money?

Jennifer was also amused by Sophie's words. However, she tried her best not to laugh as she recalled Tristan's attitude toward her earlier. Apart from a pretty face, Sophie has nothing! She's just a bimbo without good any inner qualities.

Jennifer could not understand why Tristan would fall in love with a woman like Natalie. It was simply mind-boggling for her.

“Huh? You'll give it to me?” Even though Ysabelle liked the ruby very much, she knew it cost a lot. “Sophie, there's no need for that. Actually, I don't really like it that much!”

Jennifer was even more certain of her evaluation of Sophie after hearing what Ysabelle said.

Sophie is just bluffing. Even though Tanner Group is currently under her control, the company doesn't have much for her to spend.

Jennifer was determined to get her hands on the ruby.

“I know you really like it. I can tell just from the look in your eyes.”

“Sophie, you don't have to care about her. There are so many things that she likes. You can't possibly buy everything for her!”

Sarah did not want Sophie to spend too much money on Ysabelle.

Judging by Sarah's and Sophie's reactions, the socialites had no doubts that Sophie did not have money and was pretending to be rich.

Jennifer's good friends were among those present at the auction that day. Naturally, they were aware of Jennifer's feelings toward Tristan.
