Pursuing Her

Chapter 116 I Will Wait For You To Grow Up

“Have you heard, Soph? Everyone’s signing a petition to have you expelled.”

Ysabelle had heard about this from other girls during a restroom break.

She was so livid that she nearly started a fight with them.

“Oh?” Sophie continued to work on her math question while acting as though she had heard nothing.

Seeing that, Ysabelle snatched her pen away.

“Now isn’t the time to be focusing on math! What are you going to do? With so many people hoping to kick you out, the school’s going to have to consider it for real! Not only that, but the authorities are already furious about whatever happened on the school forums!”

Ysabelle was frantic by now, and yet Sophie appeared as calm as usual.

“What are you doing, Sophie? I’m talking to you about something really important! Can’t you take this more seriously? Wait, how about this? I’ll get Uncle Tristan to donate a library to the school. That way, they’ll stop bothering you.”

Ysabelle figured this was a good idea.

There’s no problem money can’t solve.

If the problem is not resolved, that’s just because the money wasn’t enough.

Fortunately, money was never an issue for the Lombards.

“I can take care of the situation,” Sophie replied. Since they keep coming after me, I’m only going to look like a coward if I don’t get back at them.

As the self-study session concluded, Tristan’s car could be seen parked right outside the school building.

“I’m guessing my uncle already knows what happened, but I swear I didn’t tell him about it. Why are you looking at me like that? I really didn’t tell him anything!”

“What are you getting all nervous about? If you didn’t tell him about it, then you didn’t.” Sophie was amused by Ysabelle’s behavior.

“Okay. Well, I’ll be heading back now,” Ysabelle concluded but then stopped to turn around, still feeling worried about Sophie. “I think you should give Uncle Tristan some reassurance, though. No guy would ever be happy to see the girl he likes getting caught up in a rumor with another boy.”

Uncle Tristan gets real scary when he’s upset.
