Anything For Her

Chapter 105 Tristan Has No Interest In Girls

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.”“All right then.”During the noon break, Sophie and Ysabelle picked up the food from Pegasus Pavilion before hailing a taxi to Lombard Group.As it was Ysabelle’s first time there, both of them were stopped by the receptionist because she didn’t recognize them.“I’m Ysabelle Lombard. Tristan is my uncle, so let me in.” Ysabelle felt helpless. It was understandable that the receptionist didn’t know her, but no matter how much time she spent explaining, the former just refused to believe her.Sophie watched them argue for a while before finally giving Tristan a call.When Tristan picked up, he and Felix were already having lunch outside.Nonetheless, he was not only surprised to receive her call but also delighted by it.“Mr. Tristan, where are you? Ysabelle and I are in the lobby of Lombard Group. Are you here?”“What?”“We brought you food,” Sophie patiently explained.“Food? All right. Just stay there. I’m coming back right away.”After ending the call, Tristan grabbed his suit jacket and prepared to leave.“Mr. Tristan, where are you going? We haven’t even started eating.” Felix got to his feet and hurried after Tristan.“You guys should continue. I need to head back to the office.”Charles asked, “What’s wrong? Is Lombard Group going bankrupt?”Sean added, “You think? It definitely has something to do with Ms. Sophie.”Only that girl possesses such a hold on him.Felix was rendered speechless.Forget it. After all, I’m just someone who’s being resented. Despite all my efforts, Ysabelle doesn’t appreciate me at all.In the meantime, Ysabelle was disheartened by the fact that she was barred from entering Lombard Group even though
