Pursuing Her

Chapter 16 One Against Five

“Haven’t you heard about how one must honor one’s bet? If Soph was the one who lost today, would you still say the same?” Ysabelle clicked her tongue, thinking, What double standards they have!

Queenie bit her lip, having never felt so humiliated before.

She really could not bring herself to prostrate before Sophie and apologize to her.

“What’s the matter? Queenie, weren’t you really confident earlier?”

Sophie’s tone was still as nonchalant as ever, but the expression on her face sent chills running down others’ spines.

In the end, Queenie steeled herself and kneeled down before Ysabelle.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”

“Louder. I can’t hear you.” Every time Ysabelle thought about how Queenie had ambushed Sophie, she felt reluctant to forgive Queenie.

“I’m sorry.”

Right then, Willow appeared. She walked over to Queenie and helped the latter up.

“Sophie, you’re going too far.”

Upon seeing Willow, Queenie burst into tears. She truly had never experienced humiliation like that before.

“Don’t cry anymore, Queenie. I’ll bring you back to the classroom first.”

Sophie did not even want to bother herself with Willow. Who does she think she is to challenge me?

In the meantime, Cyro, who had come to find Sophie, witnessed everything.

With a slight turn, Queenie immediately spotted Cyro. Promptly, she ignored everything and everyone else and ran toward Cyro.

“Cyro, you saw what happened, right? Sophie, she—”

“Queenie, didn’t I already tell you that Sophie has nothing to do with this? I’m the one who has fallen for her. Stop picking on her in the future. I won’t forgive you the next time you do this.”

Initially, Cyro had fallen for Sophie’s attractive looks, but after watching her basketball performance, Cyro was starting to fall for her entirely.
