Chapter 45 Drinks Her Milkshake
“Mister, you've misunderstood me! I never intend to slander Ms. Tanner!” Matilda tried to speak upfor herself, her hands trembling uncontrollably.Tristan snickered. “I don't give a heck whether youintend to do so or not. I'm here to enlighten all of you today. You shouldn't have gotten on mynerves by slandering Sophie.”"Mister!” Matilda was about to grab Tristan's arm. However, sheretracted her hand when Tristan shot her a frigid glance.Standing rooted to the ground, she couldonly fasten her gaze on Tristan and Felix's retreating figures.Right that instant, Lenora advancedtoward her mother and was astounded by how the latter's face was as white as a sheet. “Mom,what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? How about I call the driver to send you to the hospitalnow?"In response, Matilda gave her daughter a tight slap.Caught off guard, Lenora covered hercheek and stared at her mother in disbelief."Mom, what's the matter with you? Why did you slapme?” she squealed. That was the first time her mother slapped her.“Plead with Sophie now so shewon't sue me!” Matilda's voice was quivering. My goodness! Sean Burton's relentlessness is knownto everyone. The Wagner family will be doomed if he helps Sophie Tanner to file a lawsuit againstus!“Mom, there's nothing to be scared of. Sophie is like the Tanner family’s abandoned child, andthey give no hoots about her. Even if she's still considered the third heiress of the Tanner family,their family is obviously incomparable to ours!” Lenora refuted matter-of-factly.”Kneel andapologize to her! Don't you know you've put me in deep water by provoking her?” Matilda fumed.Never had she expected that she would indirectly step on the toes of such an omnipotent man.AfterTristan and Felix stepped out of the classroom, the latter gave Ysabelle a call. They headed straight tothe milkshake bar after knowing that Ysabelle and Sophie were there.”Mr. Tristan, I'm impressed byyour beloved Ms. Tanner's excellent result! Didn't the others claim that her results are poor? Well, I'llbe d*mned! She's in second place in the whole grade!” Felix gasped admiringly.In an instant,Tristan’s face lit up with a sense of pride. Yeah... She's mine! Sooner or later, she will be mine!Shortlyafter, the two men reached the milkshake bar adjacent to Jipsdale Premier High. It looked differentfrom the usual milkshake bar. Since the students of Jipsdale Premier High were from wealthyfamilies, the place was lavishly designed with booth seating.The moment Tristan and Felix steppedinto it, they caught a glimpse of Sophie and Ysabelle sitting at the table next to the window. Thus,the duo walked toward them at once.Tristan took the seat next to Sophie, whereas Felix took theone next to Ysabelle."Thanks a lot for standing up for me just now. Let me buy you bothmilkshakes,” Sophie thanked Tristan sincerely.”Sure.” The next second, he took a sip of Sophie'smilkshake despite his dislike for sweetness.Astounded, the others gazed at him inbewilderment.“Uncle Tristan, aren't you a germophobe? You never use anything touched by others,don't you? Aren't you aware that this is Sophie's milkshake?” Ysabelle asked quizzically. She couldnot fathom why Tristan had been acting weirdly lately.Felix, who was seated next to her, could notresist laughing discreetly. Was Mr. Tristan trying to kiss Ms. Tanner indirectly? Ha! It never occurredto me that the assertive Mr. Tristan could be so adorable!Meanwhile, Sophie was staring at Tristandoubtfully, too.Tristan responded nonchalantly, “Sorry for that. I'll order another glass foryou.”"Sophie, you're incredible to be in second place in the whole grade!” Felix complimented,giving her a thumbs up. After all, it was no mere feat for her to have such achievement at JipsdalePremier High.“It's nothing,” Sophie responded humbly. Deep down, she really did not feel that itwas something special.”Yeah! Soph is amazing!” Ysabelle echoed proudly.At the same time, Tristanordered another milkshake for Sophie.Shortly after, the waiter served them two glasses ofmilkshakes.Felix had barely taken a few sips of it before putting it aside. He could not talk himselfinto savoring the young girls’ favorite drink.On the other hand, Tristan had finished the milkshakethat Sophie had drank earlier, while she was savoring the new one he had ordered for her.”Oh yeah!Have you decided which university to enroll in?” Felix asked the two young girls curiously.”No ideayet,” Ysabelle replied briefly. She did not feel like pouring out to them about how she felt likeleaving Jipsdale and exploring the city in the southern region instead. Her parents hoped she couldenter Jipsdale University, but she had other preferences.”How could you not have any idea on that?”Felix chuckled. No doubt, he wished Ysabelle could enter the university in Jipsdale. Nevertheless, itdid not matter which university she chose. He would be supportive of her and follow her wherevershe went.”l really don't have any idea! I don’t know which university I should choose and what's theideal occupation for me. I can't seem to replace my direction in life,” Ysabelle emphasized.Felix switchedto question Sophie, “Soph, how about you? I bet there won't be any problem for you to enterJipsdale University with such excellent results.””I have no idea as well,” Sophie respondedcandidly.”It's all right. There's plenty of time left before the university entrance exam. You can takeyour time to finalize your decision,” Tristan reassured her.He did not mind even if Sophie had noplan to pursue her studies or look for a job later. As long as she was willing, he was more thanhappy to support her financially."Come on. Let me take you guys for dinner. Aren't you attendingthe self-study session in a while?” Tristan suggested. Knowing that all the students in the senior yearwere striving hard for their exams, he was particular about Sophie's meal After they left themilkshake bar, Sophie realized that she had left her phone in the class. Hence, the others waited forher outside the school while she went back to her class to retrieve it.Unexpectedly, she bumped intoCharmaine and Willow going up from the ground floor.Charmaine was relatively displeased to seeSophie. She could not help feeling ashamed of the latter and did not wish to run into herelsewhere.Sophie continued to climb the stairs, turning a blind eye to them.Willow wailed, “Mom,how could Sophie have such a bad temper now? She didn't even greet you! She's the one whocommitted the grievous mistake five years ago, and yet, she has the audacity to be so haughty—"“Stop mentioning what happened five years ago, and don't bother about her too. I doubt shecan continue to behave so insolently for long!” Charmaine cut her daughter off, reluctant to hear asingle word about the incident five years ago.She continued, “Willow, you're still in second place inyour class this round. Keep it up! I'm convinced you'll be able to enter Jipsdale University. When thathappens, I'll hold an art exhibition for you. I'm sure Mrs. Laird will like you even morethen."Moments later, Sophie headed toward Tristan and the others after retrieving her phone.Felixhad left earlier with Ysabelle. Tristan got off his car and opened the door for her to get in. After shewas seated properly, he hopped into his car again.Meanwhile, Charmaine and Willow went to lookfor the homeroom teacher of Senior Class 1. When they stepped out of the school again, theycaught sight of Sophie hopping into a car with a man."Who's that?” Charmaine narrowed her eyes.The others had not forgotten about what happened five years ago and were still gossiping about itat times, causing her to feel embarrassed. D*mn it! How could she have the cheek to fool aroundwith another man again?“ don’t know him. But she seems to be closely acquainted with him since Ialways see them together,” Willow explained.”l see.” Charmaine responded placidly.”Mom, do youthink Sophie has given up on herself? That man seems to be filthy rich. Do you think he’s onlytoying with her?” Willow asked.”I'll replace a time to have a chat with her. No matter what, I can't let heraffect your advancement,” Charmaine stated resolutely.At the same time, Felix and Ysabelle werenow seated in a restaurant not far from Jipsdale Premier High. When Tristan and Sophie reachedthere, they came across Winter. Her face fell when she realized Tristan was taking Sophie there for ameal."Oh? Mr. Tristan, you're here for a meal too? What a coincidence!” she greeted him, plasteringa smile. Tristan simply nodded impatiently at her."How about we have a meal together?” Wintersuggested boldly."No, thanks,” Tristan rejected right away and stepped into the private room withSophie.Winter remained on the spot in sheer embarrassment. Since her friends had their eyes onthem, she thought he would accept her invitation. However, things did not turn out asexpected.”Winter, isn't that Mr. Tristan? D*mn! The young girl beside him is a beauty! I bet she canhave her debut in the entertainment industry at any moment!” one of her friends started babblingexcitedly.
