Anything For Her

Chapter 151 Cheap

truly in sync! It’s quite terrifying.Even after exiting the presidential suite and entering Tristan’s car, Sophie said nothing to him to explain the situation.“Do you trust him a lot?” It seemed like Tristan was really bothered by the close tie between Sophie and Arius.“What do you mean?”“You’re a cautious person. If you didn’t have absolute trust in him, he wouldn’t have had a chance to drug you.”Sophie continued staring straight ahead in silence.“Sophie, I don’t care how important he is to you. If he hurts you, I won’t let him off the hook.”“Mr. Tristan, he wasn’t trying to hurt me.” There were many things Sophie still could not tell Tristan.Tristan was disappointed. Even now, she still can’t bring herself to explain anything to me.“Send me to the Tanner residence, will you?” Arius had to return to the medical association, so the surgery had to proceed earlier than scheduled.“Are you not going to school today?”“I need to talk to my grandpa, so I won’t be going to school today.” Regardless of everything, Sophie had made up her mind to convince her grandfather to agree to the surgery.At the end of the day, this surgery determines how much time Grandpa has left to stay by my side. No matter the cost, I have to get him to undergo this surgery.“What’s going on? Soph, no matter what happens, I hope you won’t keep it a secret from me. I want to face life head-on with you no matter rain or shine.”His words moved Sophie. Although they had technically only met by chance, he had been nice to her all this time, taking on all her problems as if they were his.Tristan was disappointed to see that Sophie remained secretive with him. Have I not done enough? Why won’t she tell me anything?Nevertheless, Tristan sent her to the Tanner residence. Only after watching her enter the house did he turn to leave. However, before he could get into his car, Willow stopped him.“Hello, are you Sophie’s boyfriend?” Willow’s heart skipped a beat when she finally met the man again.Mason was now bed-bound, and no one could tell whether or not he would be able to stand on his two feet again. On the other hand, the man before her was healthy and elegant in all ways. He made her heart race.Nevertheless, Tristan was completely uninterested in talking to Sophie’s sister.Still, Willow persisted despite his obvious indifference and ran toward him. She had dressed up to her nines that day, and she was sure that no man would reject her.“Since you’re here, why aren’t you going in with Sophie?” Willow deliberately asked. “Right, Sophie’s always been like this. She’s very wary of others. Maybe you don’t matter to her, and that’s why she didn’t ask you to come in. I don’t know if you’re aware of this or not, but she brought Mason home less than a month after meeting him five years ago. Oh, I’m sorry. I think I’ve run my mouth.”Willow was spilling the beans on purpose.Upon hearing her, Tristan drew his brows together.Is she trying to drive a wedge between us? Isn’t that a cheap trick?“Sorry, but I don’t know who you are. Can you move aside now?”Whether or not he and Sophie were getting along was none of an outsider’s business.Tristan’s straightforward response made Willow grimace.After biting her lip, she decided to throw caution to the wind and uttered, “I’m just doing this for your sake. There are plenty of men around Sophie. I’m hoping that you won’t end up as one of her playthings.”At that, Tristan narrowed his eyes at her. That look from him sent chills down her spine.“I don’t want to hear you talk about Sophie from now on. If I hear this again, don’t blame me for making you pay.”Willow never expected that the man would not heed a single word from her despite how she had to muster her courage to tell him those things.“I know better than you who Sophie is. A girl like you is asking to be taught a lesson,” Tristan added.By then, all the colors had drained from Willow’s face.“This is just for your sake…” Willow tried to protest, but Tristan gave her no chance to do so as he went into his car.Overwhelmed with rage, she tightened her fists.What spell did Sophie cast on this man to make him so protective of her? Why?Jealousy was an emotion that could drive anyone mad.When Willow thought about the recent incidents that she had gone through, she felt the overwhelming urge to skin Sophie alive.After Tristan entered his car, he did not leave immediately; he intended to wait for Sophie in the car.When he saw Willow still standing rooted to her spot and fuming, he sneered.Disgusting.Tristan was no fool. The moment Willow walked over, he knew what she was about to do.When Charmaine saw Sophie return, she immediately paused her work and asked in concern, “You’re free today? Are you here to visit your grandpa?”Sophie did not even feel like responding to Charmaine’s feigned concern.“I’m going up to see Grandpa,” was all Sophie said before heading to the backyard.After all, she knew that Josiah was in the middle of tending to his garden at that moment.“This girl is so rude. Does she really
