Pursuing Her Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Feisty

Seeing how Tristan was taking care of Sophie, Ysabelle panicked even further. She got so worriedthat she lost her appetite."What's wrong? I thought you said you were hungry earlier?” Felix askedcaringly.Ysabelle put down her fork.“Are you full now, Soph? Let me take you out on a stroll,” shesaid. I should avoid letting Soph meet Uncle Tristan in the future. I really like her, and I don't want tolose a friend like her.“Mm-hmm.” Sophie nodded."I'll be taking Soph out on a stroll now, UncleTristan!” Ysabelle informed before dragging Sophie outside."What's up with her?” Tristan askedFelix."She’s afraid you'll snatch Sophie away.” Felix could tell Ysabelle really liked Sophie.Tristandidn't ask about it further.”Oh yeah, the Lane family has been getting restless recently. Findsomething for them to do to keep them busy.” Tristan put his fork down, raised the wineglass nextto him, and gently swirled the wine within.”You mean the Lane family who kidnapped Ysabelle?”Felix's expression darkened when he heard that.”Yes. Don't worry; leave it to me.” Sean didn't like totalk, but he was efficient and reliable when it came to work.“Oh yeah, did you hear about Jason?”Charles suddenly asked."What about him?"“None of you knew his law firm is under investigation? Ithought you two were the ones who did it.” was going to!” Felix didn't expect that to happen. Whodid it? Who else dislikes Jason?”"Someone anonymously reported Jason's law firm. That someonealso sent evidence of his tax evasion to the relevant authorities.” Tristan raised his eyebrow. That'squite a direct and brutal tactic. Jason won't even have the chance to struggle. Who's the one behindthis?“Let’s go swimming, Soph!” Ysabelle suggested. There were a lot of things in the resort,including an excellent outdoors pool.”l didn't bring a swimsuit with me,” Sophie informed.”You canreplace anything here! Follow me; I'll take you to buy one.”Ysabelle brought Sophie to the swimmingpool by taking the shuttle bus.Before they went in, they headed to the shop to buyswimsuits.Ysabelle was very excited when she saw the skimpy swimsuits on display.”Wear this,Soph.” She grabbed one of the skimpy swimsuits and gave it to Sophie. “You have a wonderfulfigure, so you'll definitely look good in this! Wear this one, okay, Soph?”"As she spoke, she stared atSophie's chest lewdly."You're a woman too, Ysabelle! Can you not be that indecent?” Sophie put theswimsuit back and picked a far more conservative one.”You're too unadventurous, Soph! Those whocome to swim will use the opportunity to show off their bodies!” Ysabelle picked a two-pieceswimsuit.She, too, didn't have the guts to wear a one-piece swimsuit. After Sophie handed theswimsuit to the owner of the shop, she pulled out a bank card."There's no need for that, Soph. Thisentire resort belongs to Uncle Tristan!"“It's fine. I have money.” Sophie didn't have the habit oftaking advantage of others.She paid for the swimsuit before both of them went to the swimmingpool.The weather was still hot despite the fact that it was October already. Therefore, a lot of peoplewere swimming in the pool.The two women changed into their swimsuits in the changing roombefore exiting with a towel around their shoulders.They both had slender legs and fair skin. Eventhough there were already plenty of sexy women in the swimming pool, they still stood out. Themoment they showed up, a lot of people's attention shifted toward them.It was also then that Caseysaw Sophie.He had been busy with his competition, which was why he hadn“t gone to replace herrecently. Little did he expect to see her at the pool."What are you looking at, Casey?” one of Casey'steammates asked.”A friend I know. I'll go and greet her.” When Casey finished, he ambled towardSophie. My body looks pretty good. I bet she'll like it! Girls like six-pack muscles, right?“I'm surprisedto see that you're here too, Sophie! Are you here with a friend?” Casey smiled brightly.”“Who areyou?” Sophie didn't want to interact with him.He didn't mind her attitude. “Why aren“t you bothswimming? Do you not know how to swim? If you don't, I can teach you. My swimming skills arepretty good."When he saw the two women sitting by the pool and kicking the water instead ofswimming, he thought they didn't know how to swim.”No need.”“Sophie, since you're already here,why not swim and have fun?"Sophie stood and stared at Casey. “Are we familiar with eachother?"When Casey's friends saw the two beautiful women next to him, they approached aswell."Hey, beautiful! How about we teach you how to swim, too?” one of Casey's friends offered."Noneed,” Sophie replied indifferently."Show me some respect, Sophie! A lot of my friends are here!”Casey uttered in a low volume with a darkened expression. Sophie is going overboard with her act,even though I'm treating her nicely!"Do you have any dignity?” Sophie spoke with slight disdain andpulled Ysabelle away with the intention of leaving.Seeing how Sophie was about to leave, Caseygrabbed her shoulder.”Stop messing around, Sophie.” His expression had darkenedcompletely.Sophie really didn't like people touching her."Let go,” she warned for the finaltime."These are my friends, Sophie. Show me some respect here,” Casey muttered.In the nextsecond, Sophie turned around, grabbed his arm, and threw him over her shoulder.”Don’t touch me.”She spoke with contempt. Who does he think he is, touching a woman after being warned notto?"Woah...””Oh my gosh!"“D*mn, she’s so feisty. I like it.”"Many people in the pool opened theirmouths wide when they saw that. After being thrown to the ground by a woman, Casey crawled upawkwardly.”Sophie.” There was a threatening tone in his voice. “How dare you hit me!"He hadalways been admired and fawned over by women. That was the first time he was humiliated byone."So what if I hit you?” Sophie replied coldly. “If you don't want it to happen again, you betterstay far away from me when you see me."Ysabelle wanted to scream out loud. It was only then sherealized her potential to be a brainless fan.Casey's friends helped him up.One of them asked, “Areyou all right, Casey?”Casey's face remained dark. He didn't expect a small woman like Sophie to becapable of throwing a 1.8-meter-tall man like himself over her shoulder so easily.It utterlyembarrassed him.When Sophie and Ysabelle attempted to leave, Casey's friends blocked theirpath.”Do you think you can leave after hitting our friend? We aren“t dead, you know."Sophie turnedto face the man who spoke up. “Then what do you want?"“You all better stop causing trouble! If yourefuse to listen, I'll have you all kicked out of here.” Casey's friends were all of a similar height tohim. They were also very burly, which made Ysabelle worry about Sophie.“Get us kicked out? Whodo you think you are?"“You—""Kneel and apologize to Casey. I have to warn you, I have no qualmsabout hitting women,” one of Casey's friends threatened.Sophie pulled down her towel as maliceentered her cold eyes. “Well, then. If I don't teach you all a lesson on behalf of your parents today,you'll never understand that there are people better than you.”"Hah! You talk big, missy. Just don'tcry later."Casey had fallen only because he had been caught off guard. However, they were nowprepared. There was no way they were going to let a woman get the best of them. Additionally, theman who spoke to her knew how to fight very well, so he wasn't afraid.
