Chapter 69 You Love A Crowd

The next second, the man tried to make a move on Sophie, only to have her grab his hand.”l toldyou to get lost. Did you not hear that?” Sophie snapped. She had never been a patient person, butunfortunately, her appearance always made her look meek and vulnerable.Alas, the man wasn'tabout to give up on his lewd advances. “Come on, missy. I'm really amazing in bed!"“What are youdoing?” Letitia suddenly shouted as she glared at the nosy Sophie. “I had my eyes on him first." Thelatter arched her brows. My goodness. This girl sure is an odd duck!“Fine. In that case, sorry forbothering you,” Sophie muttered before letting go of the man’s hand and returning to her seat.Asluck would have it, Felix entered the bar at that moment. “Wait a minute. Are my eyes deceiving me?That's Sophie, isn't it?"Upon hearing that, Tristan hurried over to take a look for himself. Ah, he’sright. That is Sophie.She had worn a sleeveless sequin dress, and her long hair was draped sensuallyover her shoulders.As she sat on the swivel chair with her legs crossed, there was no doubt manymen would have had the temptation to take her home. Naturally, Winter had also noticed Sophie.After all, Charles had arranged the party at Nocturnal for her so they could celebrate the success ofher new perfume.”Well, well, well. Who'd have thought that a high school student would take ashine to Nocturnal? Then again, who wouldn't be dazzled by the resplendence here? I suppose it'seven more exciting for Ms. Tanner since she had spent time in a place like Horington,” Winterscoffed. “That said, don't you think she’s dressed a little too provocatively?”In all honesty, Winterhated seeing Sophie near her. No matter where the latter showed up, she'd immediately steal all thelimelight, and Winter would no longer be the center of attention."Watch your words, Winter,”Charles warned.What's the use of making these comments anyway? The more she says, the moreshe'll seem rude Winter shrugged.”I'm not suggesting anything. I just don't think it's safe for ayoung lady to come to a place like Noctural alone.”Felix was instantly rendered speechless. I can'tbelieve she's shameless enough to say that! It's wild enough that she'd be worried about somethinguntoward happening to Sophie.”You guys can go over first,” Tristan ordered, his expression cold andstoic. Deep down, however, he was fuming.Sophie’s outfit was way too attractive, and several men inthe bar were checking her out.That, without a doubt, made Tristan very uncomfortable. All hewanted was to gouge out the eyes of anyone who had the gall to look at her.”Mr. Tristan...” Wintersaid before her voice trailed off. She was worried that Tristan might leave, but after seeing hisexpression, she decided to hold her tongue and walk to their private room.The next second, Tristanmarched to Sophie and sat next to her. Like her, his long legs were just as alluring.Having detectedmovement behind her, Sophie turned around and immediately came face to face with Tristan.”Mr.Tristan, have you installed a tracking device on me?” she mused with a raised eyebrow."Thanks forreminding me. I really should do that,” Tristan answered. It's her fault for always playing with dangerand making people worry.Instead of answering him, Sophie decided to change the topic."Why areyou here?"“It's for Winter's celebration party. We're in the same private room as last time. Are youalone?"“Yes, I am,” Sophie replied before glancing at Letitia.From the looks of it, I guess she haschosen to sink into the depths of depravity. I'll have to replace some other time to negotiate with

her. Letitia is the key to saving Transfix Cosmetics, but I know it won't be easy to get the truth fromher.”Join me then!"It's okay. I'm leaving in a bit. Besides, I'm not familiar with Ms. Quigley. I don'tthink it'd be nice to crash the party,” Sophie explained. More importantly, I know Winter's not goingto like me.”It's fine. We'll only stay for a while, and I'll send you home." All right, then!”As soon asSophie got up, her long, slender legs stood out even more.Alas, the men with Letitia noticed thatand quickly made their way toward her.After all, how could they let a perfect prey slip away?Thelustful man from before whipped out a wad of cash from his bag and slammed it on the table."Well? Is this enough?”Sophie instinctively glanced at Tristan, but before she could say anythingelse, the man shouted, “Why are you looking at him? I have all the money in the world, and if youdon't think this is enough, I'll give you more!"With that, he tossed another thick wad of cash ontothe table.”Hey, missy, I really like you. As long as you leave with me tonight, I'll give you any amountof money that you desire.”"Winter, who had overheard the conversation, couldn't help snickering.Oh,my. I wonder how Mr. Tristan would feel after witnessing that. Sophie is such a fool! Doesn't sheknow she’s digging her own grave? Once again, this proves I'm the only one worthy of being withTristan!Sophie suddenly burst out laughing. What's wrong with this guy? Doesn't he know he’splaying with fire?“ls it still not enough? Fine. I have more!” the man thundered as he slappedanother hundred thousand in cold, hard cash on the table.”Wait a minute. You are—""Yes, I'm TrevorGardner! You might not have heard of me, but I'm sure you know my father, BraydenGardner!"“Brayden Gardner? Oh, so you're his son,” Tristan said coldly with a glint in his eyes."That'sright! Look, missy, even he knows who my father is! Why don’t you be my girlfriend? I'm seriousabout it!” Trevor exclaimed as he grinned from ear to ear."You want me to be your girlfriend?"“Yes.What do you think? Leave with me tonight!“Alas, Trevor still had no idea who he had justoffended.”Wait a minute,” Sophie muttered before taking her phone out to make a call. As soon asthe call got through, she immediately rattled off the address of Nocturnal. “That's the bar I'm in.Bring a few of your kind over here right now."Then, she hung up the phone."Wow, so you love acrowd! That's no problem. I know many people who would be happy to join us!” Trevor said with alewd smile. “I see we're the same kind!"By then, Sophie could no longer be bothered to answer

him. Tristan, though, couldn't help but chime in, “You're courting disaster."How dare he perv on mylovel“Why are you so angry? Calm down. If you like, we can rope you in too. You're quite a lookeryourself,” Trevor uttered as he looked Tristan up and down. Honestly, I wouldn't mind trying it outwith a man for once.Unable to hold it in any longer, Sophie burst out laughing.”Do you know whohe is?” she asked amid guffaws. I got to hand it to him for even thinking about touching Mr.Tristan.”Does it matter who he is? What's most important is who I am, isn't it?"“Mr. Tristan, he saidyou're not important.”’M-Mr. Tristan? Hey, missy, cut it out. Y-Your joke is not funny...” Trevorstammered. His father had once warned him not to mess with anyone from the four major familiesof Jipsdale, especially not with the head of the families, Tristan Lombard.”You've got some guts,”Tristan said as he finally got up from his seat. “So you want to play, huh?"“You guys can't scare me!Why would the real Mr. Tristan show up in a place like this? I'm not dumb!” Trevor retorted, eventhough he could feel his legs turning into jelly.”I'm indeed Tristan Lombard. You can now thinkabout how you should die to appease me."Upon hearing that, Trevor immediately fell to hisknees.”I-Is that really you, Mr. Tristan? Oh, my goodness. I'm such a fool. I didn't mean to put youdown. I'm so sorry!”“Is that all?” Tristan snapped, his voice even louder now. “Do you have a warpedunderstanding of who I am? Is that why you think I'm a kind person who'd easily forgive those whoinsulted me?”
