Chapter 22 Lodging A Report
Given Ysabelle could not return home due to her condition, Tristan sent both the girls to WisteriaApartments.As Ysabelle could spend more time with Sophie, she was immensely delighted.Eventhough she was drained, she happily rolled around in her bed until she finally fell asleep.”Let mehandle Queenie,” uttered Tristan."How?” He made it sound like he was dealing with the trash.”Youdon't have to concern yourself with that.” I'll also deal with those thugs, lest they trouble her againin the future."You can handle the thugs, but let me deal with Queenie. I'm the one she has aproblem with.”"But—""Don't interfere in girls’ problems, Mr. Tristan. Don't you have faith that I canhandle it?""Of course I have.”“Okay, I'll go to bed, then.”"When Sophie was about to go to herbedroom, Tristan stopped her.”If things don't go well. Let me know. I don't want what happenedtoday to repeat.” It will go well."It was not until the next morning that someone from the nearbyresidential area noticed Queenie.Once she spotted a person, Queenie burst into tears.A woman inher fifties exclaimed, “Goodness! Why are you tied up here?"The woman quickly untied Queenie."Letme take you to the hospital, young lady.”"No need. Take me to the police station instead. I want tolodge a report,” replied Queenie, completely forgetting who kidnapped who first.In the meantime,Tristan did not allow Ysabelle to go to school because of her injury.”I'm fine, Uncle Tristan. WithSophie by my side, no one would dare bully me."I'll be happy to have Sophie with me."Your leg'sinjured, Ysabelle. It's better for you to stay at home.""All right, then.”Her answer made Tristan
frown. Since when is she this obedient? Also, why is she looking at Sophie like that? It isn'tnormal.”Sophie is a girl, Ysabelle. Keep that in mind.”"I know that!” Ysabelle stared at her unclestrangely.Just then, Sophie cleared her throat and took her bag, ready to go to school."Rest well.Someone will be here and make breakfast for you shortly,” said Tristan."Why am I home alone?”Ysabelle complained grumpily, only to be ignored by her uncle.In no time, Tristan caught up withSophie.“I'll drive you to school.”"No need. I'll just have breakfast outside and walk to school afterthat."It's just a few minutes’ journey. I don't need him to drive me."Then let's have breakfasttogether!"”Are you sure?"I'm going to a nearby simple outlet. Is he even used to such food?“Yup.”Ofcourse I'm sure. I still have time After they entered a clean breakfast outlet, Sophie told him shewanted a bagel and a cup of coffee.”What about you?""Same as you."Hence, Sophie ended upordering two sets of her order.By the time she returned, Tristan had already used tissue papers towipe the chair and table for her.Seeing that, Sophie could not help but smile. Huh, I didn't think he'ddo this for anyone. When their orders were served shortly after, Sophie dipped her bagel in thecoffee. She liked to eat it this way.Tristan then mirrored her action.Try it. I like to eat like this. Tristangave it a try. It's quite good.”It's yummy."“Good to hear that."After breakfast, Tristan drove Sophie tothe school before heading toward Lombard Group.Early in the morning, Felix was asked to go to thecompany through a phone call.“What's the matter, Mr. Tristan? It's only eight.""Have you ever heardof Sage Dragon Gang?"“Sage Dragon Gang?” Felix thought hard about it, but the name did not ringa bell. “No. Is it famous?”’I want it destroyed.""Why? Did the members offend you?” What kind ofidiots would dare to offend Mr. Tristan?All Tristan did was give Felix a look for the latter to nod inunderstanding.“Okay, I'll handle them.” It's just a gang. Destroying it is but a mere game forme.Meanwhile, Harvey ran to the Sage Dragon Gang's place early in the morning.That darnedSophie. How dare she beat me to this point? I'll never let her off the hook Harvey planned to ask hismaster, who was a skilled fighter, to teach Sophie a lesson. I'll make sure she beg for mercy.As soonas he opened the door, the sight of the members kneeling on the ground greeted him, whichstunned him.What the hell is going on? Who did they offend?He wanted to retreat in secret, but themain door had been closed.”Are you Harvey?”Scared, Harvey replied, “No.""He is,” intervenedHarvey's master.Harvey was about to flee when somebody kicked him, resulting in him kneeling onthe floor.”You're bold, aren't you? How dare you kidnap our lady?"“I—"He was not even given achance to talk when he was immediately beaten to a pulp.”From now on, Sage Dragon Gang is nomore. If I hear of this gang involved in anything else, I'll blow your place to pieces,” uttered Felix in acold tone.Normally, there was no need for him to get entangled in such a trivial matter in person,but since he had been bored out of his mind recently, he did. With that, he left with his men. “Let'sgo."After they left, the gang leader of Sage Dragon Gang glared at Harvey, obviouslyfurious.”Harvey, you scum! Beat him!"At his order, Harvey received another round of beating fromthe other members; his master was no exception.In the end, Harvey had to crawl back home. D*mnit! This must be Sophie's doing. Who the hell is backing her up? Why is she so powerful?On theother side, Queenie arrived at the police station.”Officer, I want to lodge a report, and I want to havemy injury checked.” I'll make sure Sophie is expel from school this time.Seeing her in that state, theofficer immediately took her to the hospital to have her injury examined for forensic purposes.Theycame out with the result of her having a broken nose.”You have to help me, officer. My life is indanger,” Queenie sobbed."Come with us to give your statement, Miss. Don't worry. We'll definitelyhelp you.” Whoever did this to her must be held accountable.Back at the police station, Queenieturned on the waterworks and recounted Sophie's evil deeds in great detail while watching theofficer jot the situation.”I'm so scared, officer. I don't want to go back to school.”“Worry not, Ms.Lane. We'll bring Sophie here today. You'll hear from us in no time.”"When the police officers arrivedat the school, they were in the middle of physics class.Upon seeing the officers, Carrie wasmomentarily stunned.”Can I help you?” queried Carrie politely."Yes, can you call Sophie outhere?"“Sophie? See, I knew this school shouldn't have accepted a student like her. Even the policeare here now.” Since Carrie was loud, the whole class heard her.The students in the class startedmurmuring among themselves.“What's going on?"“No idea.”“Sophie is truly so problematic!"“Comeout here, Sophie!" Carrie bellowed.It's so embarrassing to have a student like her.”Seriously, what'sgoing on with you, Sophie? Not only do you have a bad grade, but you always cause trouble,” Carriescolded.
