Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 580

Rage ignited within the lab teacher.

Why is she still not clear-headed even at a time like this?

“Acid... Acid... Do you really like acid that much? Fine, I'll let you try some yourself!” Having said that, he splashed the acid on Greta.

“Argh!”

Upon contact, Greta let out a painful shriek.

All the onlookers were shocked by the lab teacher's sudden reaction.

“Look, I've taught her a lesson on your behalf. Can we now let this matter rest?” In order to save his job, the lab teacher decided to sacrifice his own relative.

At that moment, Greta was rolling on the ground, grimacing in pain, while Sandra was staring blankly in shock.

She couldn't believe that the lab teacher could do such a thing to his own niece.

How would his actions even help the situation?

Simon, too, was dumbfounded.

Are Greta's relatives just as maniacal as she is? How did things turn out this way all of a sudden?

“I'm sorry. Please let me go this once,” the lab teacher begged for mercy.

The whole time, Sophie took in the scene with a frosty gaze. She didn't even see the plot twist coming.

There's something wrong in his head! How can the matter be resolved this way? The way he thinks is surprisingly different from everyone else.

“Simon, what are you spacing out for? Call the cops.” The messier the situation, the greater the need to bring in the authorities.

When the police finally arrived at the scene, they sent Greta to the hospital at once.

One of her hands was decaying from being burnt and looked terrifying. The lab teacher, Sophie, and her friends were brought to the police station for further investigations.

Fortunately, there was a surveillance camera at the scene which allowed the truth to be quickly revealed.

After recording their statement, the police let Sophie and her friends go.

Sandra breathed a sigh of relief the moment they came out of the police station.

“Simon, you should just stay away from us from now on. The women by your side can be really frightening.” Indeed, jealousy could drive a woman to lose her mind.

Simon was bereft of speech.

It's not like I wanted this to happen. Even I had no idea Greta was a closet lunatic.

“I'm sorry. If it wasn't for me, none of you would be here at the police station,” Simon apologized. “Nevertheless, I still hope to be your friend.”

Sophie is such an amazing person. As long as I follow her, I'll definitely make something out of myself.

“The incident isn't your fault. There's no need to blame yourself.” It's all on Greta and her alone.

“Let's go. I'll treat you guys to a barbecue to help you forget the trauma.” Simon felt the girls deserved a treat after the harrowing experience.

“All right! I love barbecue!”

Sandra was also of the opinion that Simon wasn't at fault, so she had no qualms about going along.

“Both of you go ahead. My boyfriend is picking me up.”

Tristan had rushed over the moment he learned that Sophie was at the police station. It wasn't until he saw that she was fine that he let out a sigh of relief.

As he approached her, his attention was focused on no one else but her.

“Are you all right? How did you end up in the police station?” Tristan asked with concern.

“It's no big deal. The matter has already been dealt with. Let's go home now.”

That was the first time Simon had met Sophie's boyfriend.

Awed by the sight of him, Simon couldn't help but feel ashamed at his initial urge to pursue Sophie.

The thought of his superiority complex earlier caused him to blush in embarrassment.

Sophie's boyfriend is truly an epitome of masculinity!

“No wonder Sophie isn't interested in me. Compared to him, even I wouldn't choose myself,” Simon mumbled, eliciting a laugh from Sandra.

“I'm glad you have no illusions of grandeur about yourself.”

“Sandra, now that there's only the two of us, let's have a barbecue.” Sophie's boyfriend probably won't be joining us.

“Sure!”

“Sophie, we're going off now.” Sandra bid Sophie farewell before leaving together with Simon.

It feels expensive to have a barbecue with only two people. But Simon is paying, so it's all right.

“Let's go. I'm hungry too.” Sophie hadn't eaten yet.

“Okay!”

Tristan opened the door for her to get in before driving to The Crown. He knew it was her favorite restaurant.

Upon their arrival, he led her straight to his private room, where the manager welcomed them. Once he had ordered, he dismissed the manager.

“What in the world happened?” Her refusal to tell him anything only served to intensify his worries. He preferred her to keep him informed.
