"I'm going to kill him!"
After saying that, Rainie turned around and left. However, she was stopped by Mango, and Tristan smiled upon seeing her reaction.
"That won't do. He's my junior."
When Mango and Rainie heard what Tristan had said, she was stunned.
"Junior? Huh? Do you know each other?"
"Yes, but we're not enemies. It's just that he's quite frivolous and playful. We have the same teacher, but we're experts in different fields. He's good at making poison, so he wanted me to analyze the components of this poison and find an antidote. I'm sure that he simply wants to challenge me, that's all."
Tristan's brows furrowed slightly as he spoke.
"What do you mean?"
Mango was seemingly interested as she pulled Rainie and sat down to listen.
After that, Tristan said in a low voice, "Carlo is from Angolla, and the Foster family is one of the four most influential families here. I heard that his family encountered some troubles lately, and it seems they are looking for me because of this. However, it's not appropriate to approach me heads on. That's why they needed an opportunity and someone to introduce them to us. Perhaps Carlo investigated Rainie's background before choosing her. Furthermore, he tried to get close to her after learning about Thomas' affair."
Rainie was disappointed and upset upon hearing this.
How could she be tricked like this?
What a nuisance!
"Tristan, are you going?"
"Of course. After all, he is my junior, and he has no bad intentions. I guess he has already asked someone to prepare the antidote for Rainie."
Rainie felt somewhat comforted by his words.
"Well, I guess he still has a conscience, after all."
"You too."
Tristan smiled and said, so Rainie was stunned.
"What about me? If I really was a good person, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Hey, Rainie."
Just as Mango wanted to comfort Rainie, Tristan interrupted her and said, "I know that I have no say in the matter between you and Thomas. However, since you treat me and Mango as your family, do you mind if I comment on it?"
Rainie and Mango were both stunned. They never thought that Tristan would meddle in this matter.
Then, Mango said calmly, "Thomas has gone too far! Are you trying to speak up for him?"
After that, Tristan looked at her and sighed, "Mango, you're being so decisive."
"Am I? Thomas is the playboy here! Shut the hell up if you want to speak for him."
After saying that, Mango was about to stand up and leave, but she was stopped by Rainie.
