Pursuing Her

Chapter 296 Not An Ordinary Man

As expected, the mention of Bailey’s name left Tristan seething with rage. “So? Are you intentionally trying to ruin my good mood?” Even though Bailey doesn’t pose a threat, I’m still upset that an outstanding guy like him has feelings for Sophie. To make matters worse, they’re the same age too! “Oh, I wouldn’t dare! I’m here to help you, Uncle Tristan!” Ysabelle replied with a chuckle. “Listen, since you can’t accompany Sophie, let me go in your stead! I’m still on my break, anyway. As long as you help me deal with my father, I’ll help you keep an eye on Sophie! Isn’t that a brilliant idea?” My goodness, I ought to applaud myself for being such a genius! I guess spending all that time with Sophie really does make one smarter! “All right.

Go on and get ready, then. I want you to attend the training camp with Sophie,” Tristan ordered. As it turned out, there was a mandatory training camp before the competition, which meant Bailey would be there too. “Yes, sir!” Ysabelle replied with a soldier salute. “Don’t worry, Uncle Tristan!

As soon as she arrived, the latter merely shot her a glance from the table.

Dixon, do you think I’m short on money?” Whitlea frowned. “Is that not enough? So long as you quit the physics competition and never contact Bailey again, I’ll be happy to throw in an additional five million.” I’ll pay any amount to get rid of Sophie. I don’t like her one bit! “I think it’s pointless for us to carry on this conversation,” Sophie

As hardened gangsters, they knew very well that guns would be more effective against someone as skilled as Sophie. The latter, however, remained calm and collected. Huh? Isn’t she a little too calm?

under my nose? I didn’t even see what happened! Without hesitation, Sophie took off the safety lock and pointed the gun at Whitlea’s head. “Mdm. Dixon, if I had known you liked playing such games, I’d have humored you right from the start.” By then, Whitlea was
