Pursuing Her Chapter 60

Chapter 60 Present

“Danielle, are you all right?” her friends asked before helping her up.”F*ck you! Do you know howimportant my feet are to me? I'm going to make you pay!” Since Danielle Judd was a ballet dancer,her feet were her invaluable assets.”Oh, is it? Then, you shouldn't pester me anymore. Otherwise, I'mgoing to make sure to incapacitate your feet. Treat this as a lesson.” With that, Sophie ignored themand went to look for Ysabelle. Winter walked toward Danielle and pretended to be considerate. “Areyou okay, Danielle? Didn't I tell you not to act impulsively?”“Winter, you know I've always beeninterested in Mr. Tristan, right? What's so good about that wild girl?” Danielle raged. She's nothingcompared to me in terms of family background and looks!"Well, you can't force your feelings uponothers, you know? That's enough. Stop causing any trouble. Otherwise, Mr. Tristan isn't going to behappy about it,” Winter advised.”l know.” Danielle was still incredibly frustrated. However, she wasaware of how scary Tristan could be. Although she liked him a lot, she was scared of him more."Thatstupid, poor girl. How dare she get on Diamond Cruise and wrap up a rock as a present? I'm sureMr. Tristan is just fooling around with her,” Danielle grumbled.”All right. Enough. You'll get in troubleif Mr. Tristan hears that,” Winter warned.At that moment, Tristan had arrived on the cruise ship.Thecruise ship then set sail shortly after.Upon seeing Tristan, the socialites started posingseductively."You're here, Mr. Tristan!” Winter dashed toward him and asked, “Would you be mypartner tonight, Mr. Tristan?"There was going to be a dance later that evening. Hence, Winterwanted Tristan to be her dance partner. Since he didn’t come with Sophie, that means I have achance to dance with him!“I'm sorry. I already have a dance partner.” Tristan turned her down.Hethen cast a glance around, but he couldn't replace Sophie. She must've gone to look for Ysabelle."But,Mr. Tristan—" Winter was about to ask again."Winter, don’t make me repeat myself.” Tristan hadalways been impatient with other women.As she watched him leave, Winter's face turned grim.Justthen, Danielle walked up beside her and scoffed, “Winter, don't you think Mr. Tristan is way out ofyour league? How could you be shameless enough to ask him to be your partner?”She wasprovoking Winter on purpose.She wasn't happy with the fact that Winter was acting all high andmighty. You had the audacity to offer yourself up? Jokes on you for getting rejected."What did yousay?” Winter was enraged.“You should mind your attitude, Danielle,” she added."What's wrong withmy attitude? Since we both like Mr. Tristan, why should I treat you nicely?” Danielle argued.”Oh? Iwonder what would Mr. Tristan think when he replaces out you were bullying Sophie!"“You!" Danielledidn't expect Winter to use that against her."Know your place, Danielle. Don't ever crave forsomething that isn't yours,” Winter taunted. You're not worthy to fight against me.Sophie sawYsabelle lying on her bed upon walking into her room. Isn't she worried about messing up her hair?Ysabelle sat up immediately when she saw Sophie. “Finally, you're here! I thought you bailed onme!”Sophie went over to sit on the bed as well. “It's your birthday. How could I miss it? You look sopretty, Ysabelle,” Sophie said sincerely.Ysabelle leaned on Sophie's shoulder and said, “I'm not aspretty as you, Soph. You look mesmerizing in that little black dress.”If Ysabelle hadn't seen Sophiefight with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe she could fight so well with that slender waist ofhers.Ysabelle couldn't help but wrap her arms around Sophie's waist and asked, “Why don't you justmarry me, Soph?“Sophie laughed upon hearing that. Does this girl not filter her words when shespeaks?“Why are you laughing? I'm serious. Honestly, I'm capable of doing everything except forgiving birth.” Ysabelle was promoting herself enthusiastically.”Really?” Sophie asked.At that moment,the door to Ysabelle's room was pushed open, and a cold voice followed."Uncle Tristan, what areyou doing here? This is my room!” Ysabelle was unhappy.Tristan’s gaze fell upon Ysabelle's arms,where she was holding Sophie's waist. Truth be told, he wasn't happy with what he saw.”Your dadasked for you. Go see him in his room,” Tristan said nonchalantly.”Oh? All right, then. Wait for mehere, Soph. You can have a rest here if you're tired. I'll go see what my dad wants from me.” Ysabelledidn't dare to defy her father's instructions.”Sure. Go on. Don't worry about me.” Sophie had quickadaptability.Ysabelle then left to replace her father.“Come here,” Tristan ordered.Since Tristan andSophie were alone in the room, his voice turned alluring.Sophie remained still despite his

order. Why should I go just because he asked me to? I have my pride. Fine. If you're not cominghere, I'll go to you,” Tristan added.Sophie instantly stood up and walked over after hearingthat."What do you want?” she asked.Tristan took out a jewelry box and revealed a necklace thatlooked exquisite and expensive.”l forgot to give you this,” he said.Tristan bought it because he knewthe necklace suited her the moment he laid eyes on it."Mr. Tristan, this is too expensive. I can'taccept this.”“I'm just lending it to you.”Sophie was rendered speechless. Fine. What else can I say tothat?Tristan then walked behind her and put it on for her."How much does it cost? What if I can'tafford to pay you back if I lose it?” Sophie wasn't well-off at all.”It's quite expensive, actually. If youlose it, I would have no choice but to sell you.”Sophie went speechless again. Why do I keephumiliating myself?“It's almost time. Let's go,” Tristan said.Considering Tristan's posture, Sophiethought it was only natural if she coiled her arm around his.Although she didn’t want to bring toomuch attention to herself, Tristan was leaving her with no choice.The two of them then strolledtoward the grand hall on the cruise ship while holding each other's arms. By the time they arrived,most of the guests were already there.The socialites were all clenching their jaws in jealousy whenthey saw Sophie holding Tristan’s arm. That d*mned vixen! What does she think she’s doing? Howdare she hold his arm?In truth, Tristan had never been a fan of such events. Although he hadattended a few in the past, he had never brought along a female partner.However, not only did hebring a female partner this time around, but he also let her hold his arm.The socialites were soannoyed that they wanted nothing more than to rip Sophie's arm off of him. Tristan leaned towardSophie and whispered, “Don’t worry. I'm here with you.”"He was so near to her she could feel hisbreath on her cheeks.Sophie felt rather helpless when she saw the stares the socialites were givingher.Great, I think I just made myself a ton of enemies tonight...”Mr. Tristan, don't overdo it." Hisactions were a little too affectionate to her liking.”All right.” Despite his words, Tristan proceeded towrap his arm around her waist.
