"Why are you paying so much attention to someone who has nothing to do with us?"

"You do know she came here because of Uncle Tristan, right? Doesn't that bother you at all?"

"In case you haven't noticed, Tristan hasn't even looked at her. She isn't worthy of my concern."

I'd be upset if Tristan were to choose another woman over me, but I wouldn't shamelessly cling to him either. I'm not that pathetic!

Ysabelle couldn't help but admire Sophie's relationship with Tristan. "Yeah, you're right. Uncle Tristan only has eyes for you, so he would never fall for another woman. Sophie, don't you find your relationship with Uncle Tristan a little boring? I mean, I haven't seen you two fight over anything!"

The two of them trusted each other so much that they never had any issues with each other.

"Isn't that a good thing? Do you want us to keep fighting until we break up instead?" Sophie believed that two people who liked each other should just focus on being together instead of worrying about irrelevant stuff.

Ysabelle nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you're right. If two people like each other, then they should focus on strengthening their relationship instead of fighting over trivial matters."

"Is Felix treating you well?" Sophie had been so busy that she never got the chance to ask her about that.

Ysabelle broke into a sweet smile when she heard that.

"He has been really nice to me."

"Now do you realize how much you like him?"

"Yeah, I do. I think we'll be staying together forever!" Although the two of them had only been dating for a while, she was already thinking about that.

"That's good to hear. Felix is really nice to you, so you mustn't bully him anymore, okay?"

"I don't think I've been bullying him, have I?"

Those words had barely left her mouth when Felix came walking over. He would always be nearby as he wanted to spend as much time around Ysabelle as possible.

If he could, he probably would keep Ysabelle in his pocket so he could bring her along wherever he went.

"Ugh... Aren't you lovebirds being a little too attached to each other?" Charles exclaimed.

"You're just being jealous, Charles! Not having a girlfriend really sucks, huh?" Felix retorted without even looking at him.

I've had enough of this guy! I want to wipe that smug look off his face!

Charles ran up to Sean and grabbed him by the arm as he said, "Look, Sean! He's bullying me! It's just you and me now, so we need to stick together. We need to do something about them!"

Sean pushed him aside and shot him a disdainful glare as he said, "F*ck off!"

Sean had disgust written all over his face.

"You can't treat me like this, Sean! Are you going to leave me too?" Charles protested. Sean is single, too, so he has no right to criticize me!

Disgusted by Charles' unreasonable behavior, Sean decided to ignore him completely.

Although Sophie rarely took part in their conversations, she never had issues interacting with them.

"Sophie sure is something else, huh? I mean, just look at Sean and Charles. They don't care about anybody else's feelings, but they're always looking out for her!" said one of Jennifer's friends.

Some women were bound to become the center of attraction wherever they went.

Naturally, that would cause many to be jealous of them.

Sophie was a great example of those women.

"They're only looking after her because of Tristan. Sophie would never make it into their circle if it weren't for him."

That's right! Sophie only got this far in life because of Tristan!

"Yeah, you're right. She's nothing without Mr. Tristan! Honestly, I think you should just give up on him, Jennifer. Mr. Tristan won't notice anyone else with Sophie around!" Minerva said.

She believed there was no point in pestering Tristan any further if he wouldn't even look at any other women.

If anything, Jennifer would only get herself hurt in the end.

"What are you saying, Minerva? I won't give up on Tristan! You're my friend, so you should be supporting me instead!" Jennifer exclaimed in displeasure.

"What do you want me to do?" Minerva asked.

Jennifer motioned at Minerva to come closer as she whispered something in the latter's ear.

Minerva gasped in shock after hearing what she said. "I don't know if this is a good idea, Jennifer. Mr. Tristan really likes Sophie, so we might get into a lot of trouble if we do this."

Despite being Jennifer's best friend, Minerva was still very scared of Tristan.

"Are you sure you're my friend? I helped you out when you had a crush on that guy back then, and you won't even lend me a hand now?" Jennifer protested.
