Chapter 145 Kneel And Beg
The crowd wouldn’t be able to recognize Tristan because his existence in Jipsdale was rather mysterious. Although a lot of people had heard of his name and knew that Jipsdale was basically controlled by the Lombard family, no one from their social class had ever seen him in person.
When he saw how solemn she looked, he walked up to her and held her hand.
Tristan’s gaze turned grim when he spotted Clayton.
At the same time, Clayton was surprised to see his archenemy there. What a coincidence! So, this young girl is with Tristan. Things are getting more interesting now.
“What’s going on? Are they bullying you?” Tristan lowered his head and asked.
Upon seeing how Tristan was treating Sophie, Clayton’s interest was piqued. It seems like they’re quite close.
“Clayton, who is he?” Lorelei didn’t know Tristan, and she had never seen him in person. However, she was aware of how handsome Tristan was. He looks even more dashing than the young idols in the entertainment industry. Besides, that demeanor of his is frightening.
“He’s someone you’ll never be able to interact with in your life,” Clayton replied truthfully. He hated Tristan a lot, and he had tried numerous times to get rid of Tristan. However, his attempts were futile.
“What should we do now?” Lorelei asked.
“What do you mean? Didn’t you say that young girl was taking photos of you secretly?”
Lorelei couldn’t help but feel nervous. Well, that young girl did point her phone at me. However, it’s not like I’ve seen the photos on her phone. What if it was just a misunderstanding?
The only reason she was acting brazenly earlier was because she thought Sophie was someone without any background.
Things had changed, though. She could feel a chill running down her spine upon receiving a casual glance from Tristan.
“They said I was trying to seduce Ms. Crawford’s boyfriend, and that’s why I’ve been following them around and taking photos of them secretly.” As Sophie was telling Tristan what had happened, she couldn’t help but feel amused. Who would’ve thought that there comes a day when I’m accused of taking photos of someone secretly? The funniest part is that my target is a low-grade star!
“I’m so sorry, but I think there must be a misunderstanding.”
Because of how scary Tristan was, Lorelei apologized immediately. No matter what, we should just get this conflict sorted out.
“Hey, young man. Your girlfriend did take photos of someone secretly. Just let it slide, okay? You know where the Zales family stands in Jipsdale, right? You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them,” a kind-hearted man cautioned Tristan. I doubt they know what they’re getting themselves into.
That was the first time Tristan was told that he couldn’t afford to mess with the Zales family.
“Mr. Zales, how do you plan on settling this conflict? Your woman crossed my girlfriend. We need to settle the score, no?” Tristan asked.
Upon hearing that, everyone at the scene was taken aback. None of them had expected Tristan to have the balls to talk to Clayton that way. Who exactly is this young man?
“Mr. Tristan, is this necessary? I bet this is all just a misunderstanding. Since no harm was done, perhaps we should just act as if nothing had happened.” Unlike everyone else, Clayton was well aware of who he was dealing with. He had always schemed from behind the scene and avoided facing Tristan head-on because he knew exactly how scary he was.
“Mr. Tristan?” Lorelei’s knees went weak immediately.
Based on her identity, there was no way she would ever have a chance to see Tristan. Since Clayton said this man is Mr. Tristan, that must be him. He’s a legend and a myth in Jipsdale. Not only is he ruthless, but he’s also cold-hearted.
Fortunately for her, she managed to grasp Clayton’s shirt just in time. Otherwise, she would’ve slumped to the ground.
The crowd was stunned. Who is this man? How did he make Clayton’s girlfriend beg for forgiveness?
