Chapter 105 Tristan Has No Interest In Girls
At the sight of her, Mason quickly alighted and approached her.
“Sophie, let’s have dinner together.” There were certain words that he needed to say to her in person.
Bailey scrutinized the man in front of him. Isn’t he Willow’s boyfriend? Why is he here to see Sophie at a time like this?
“You must be here to question me about hitting Willow, right? There’s no need to do it over a meal, as I can give you an answer straight away. I wanted to teach her a lesson just because I don’t like her face. How about that? Are you happy with the answer? If you are, you can get out of my way now.”
All this while, my words never matter to him, so why even bother? Since he didn’t believe me five years ago, it’s meaningless for him to say anything now.
“Sophie, I really have something to tell you. Can you listen to me for once? Are things between us so bad that we can’t even have a meal together?”
“I’m sorry, but the sight of you makes me lose my appetite.”
Mason was at a loss for words as he felt a squeeze in his heart.
Has our relationship deteriorated to such an extent?
“I know you’re not able to get over what happened five years ago. But don’t you worry. I’ll make sure you get the justice you deserve.”
“Mason, I don’t need you to interfere in my affairs. And what’s this talk about seeking justice for me? Do you think you’re some kind of superhero?”
“Sophie, let’s go. We still have to attend a self-study session at night,” Bailey reminded, as they had yet to have their dinner.
Sophie nodded before leaving with him.
After being spurned by Sophie, Mason leaned against the car door. Regardless of what he said, she refused to listen to him.
Meanwhile, Willow’s friends sent her a message when they coincidentally spotted Mason meeting with Sophie.
After that, they walked up to him.
“Mr. Laird, you’re back. You must stand up for Willa. Sophie is just too much. She always acts as if she owns the place.”
“That’s right! All she does is bully Willa. I bet she’s jealous of both of you being together.”
“Mmm-hmm, Mr. Laird, Sophie is a terrible person.”
When he heard how they disparaged Sophie, an excruciating pain surged in his heart.
All these years, she has suffered a tremendous amount of insults alone. And yet, I chose to leave her behind after that incident and let her carry the burden by herself.
“Going forward, don’t ever let me hear you badmouth Sophie. Also, Willow and I are not in a relationship.”
“Mr. Laird…”
The girls couldn’t believe their ears.
“What do you mean? Are you dumping Willa?”
“Yea! How can you do that? Willa waited for you for five years. Now that you’re finally back, how can you just abandon her?”
Willow’s friends felt bad for her.
Having no intention to waste time arguing with a bunch of girls, Mason turned around in exasperation and returned to his car.
Upon receiving the message, Willow flung her phone at the wall, causing its screen to shatter when it dropped to the floor.
“Sophie!” Willow clenched her teeth. Why does she always mess up my life? Why didn’t she just die in Horington?
Willow’s pretty face contorted in anger, as the urge to tear Sophie to pieces swelled within her.
The next day in school, Ysabelle pulled Sophie aside, causing the latter to cock her brows.
What is she up to?
“Soph, accompany me to Lombard Group this afternoon.”
“Why?” Sophie was puzzled.
“I’m bringing Uncle Tristan and the others lunch.” Felix had ignored her for two days. Realizing the folly of her actions, she planned to tell him that she was sorry.
“The others? Do you mean Felix?”
Sophie knew what Ysabelle was up to. I bet she wants to apologize to him.
“Mmm-hmm.”
Only that girl possesses such a hold on him.
Forget it. After all, I’m just someone who’s being resented. Despite all my efforts, Ysabelle doesn’t appreciate me at all.
