Chapter 70 Keep Him Alive

Terrified, Trevor started groveling at Tristan’s feet.The latter turned to look at Sophie. “Well? What doyou think we should do?"“Miss, I was wrong. I've made a big mistake. Please let me off!” Trevorbegged, hoping Sophie would be soft-hearted enough to speak up for him.At that moment, fivestrapping men entered the bar and walked up to Sophie. “Ms. Tanner, we're here.”Mr. Gardnerloves having fun with men. You guys like that, don't you? Take him away! You can do whatever youlike to him, but make sure to keep him alive.”"Yes, Ms. Tanner!"“N-No! Ms. Tanner, I was wrong! Iwon't do it again!” Trevor pleaded.A cold grin crept across Sophie's face. “Didn’t you say you wereamazing in bed? Have you forgotten that you wanted to play with Mr. Tristan too?"“l didn't know he—"“Enough!” Sophie interrupted. “You said you love having fun, so I got plenty of people to playwith you. By the way, they don't need your money, so you can enjoy yourself without spending adime! Take him away! What an eyesore.”With that, two of the burly men pulled Trevor to hisfeet."Let's go, Mr. Gardner! Stop resisting. Otherwise, don't blame us if you get hurt."Seeing thescene unfold in front of her, Letitia hurried over.”What are you guys doing? Let go of Mr. Gardnerthis instance, or I'll call the police!""You'd better mind your own business, Ms. Gatrell! Aren't youashamed of yourself after all that you've done? What gives you the right to stand here and lectureus?” one of the men said before dragging Trevor away.Now that Sophie had instructed them, they'dmake doubly sure not to kill Trevor from all the fun they were about to have with him."Well?” Sophieasked as she turned to Tristan. “Are you pleased with that resolution?"“Not really, but I can stillaccept it.""Y-You... You guys have gone too far! Do you know who his father is? He's none otherthan—"Before Letitia could finish her words, Sophie interrupted, “So? Do you want to go with him?If that's what you desire, I can call my men back to take you along. You can all have a wild nighttogether.”Urgh. Letitia is seriously testing my patience. Doesn't she know how tiring it is to teachpeople a lesson?Suddenly, Tristan removed his suit jacket and tied it around Sophie's waist."Whatare you doing?” Sophie asked in bewilderment. We're in a bar, for goodness’ sake. I'm alreadydressed very modestly for the occasion.”It's nothing. Let's go in!"Still seething with anger, Letitia ranoff to inform Brayden.With Brayden around, Trevor will be fine, won't he? Tristan and Sophie arefeeling pretty smug now, but I'm sure the Gardners will never let them off! Just wait and see!Asexpected, Brayden immediately sent people to rescue Trevor when he got the call. However, uponlearning who his son had offended, he was rendered speechless."That a*shole! Does he know whathe has done?”Brayden was a famous director, so it was natural for him to rub shoulders with highsociety.He might have heard of Tristan's name, but he had never met the latter in personbefore.Despite that, he had always known that Tristan was someone he should never provoke, sowhy was his son dumb enough to poke the bear?"What should we do, then? We can't possibly leaveour only son in the lurch!” Brayden’s wife, Valerie, muttered.Brayden flew into a rage. “Why don'tyou tell me? We're up against Mr. Tristan, for goodness’ sake! No one in Jipsdale or even Chanaeadares to aggravate him! It's all your fault. You're home every day, yet you've failed to educate ourchild.”"You can rely on your connections, can't you?” Valerie pleaded. “After all, you're a famousdirector. I'm sure Mr. Tristan would go easy on you."Left with no other choice, Brayden continuedcalling up his friends in a bid to track down Tristan.Valerie is right. I'm a famous director with legionsof fans. The CEO of Lombard Group can't possibly make me his enemy and risk incurring the wrathof everyone, can he?Meanwhile, Tristan opened the door to the private room and ushered Sophie in,causing everyone inside to look up at them.After seeing the suit jacket around Sophie’s waist, Felixroared with laughter. “Sophie, what a unique dress sense you have!"Winter had initially thought thatTristan would change his mind about Sophie after the earlier episode with Trevor.To her horror, notonly had he brought Sophie to the party, but he had also shown just how much he cared abouther.After all, if she meant nothing to him, why would he mind that others were looking at her legs?Sophie merely shrugged off Felix's comment. Unique? So be it. What baffles me more is why Mr.Tristan doesn’t seem too happy.“Scoot over,” Tristan instructed Felix.Without hesitation, the lattergot up to sit with Sean, leaving the two-seater couch for Tristan and Sophie.The couple had justtaken their seats when Tristan’s phone started ringing.After answering the call and listening for afew seconds, he scoffed, “Well, what do you think? His son pissed me off, so why shouldn't I teachhim a lesson to keep him in line? I won't kill him, but if he continues antagonizing me, don't blameme for changing my mind."As it turned out, Brayden had managed to replace someone to intercedewith Tristan on his behalf.“Wow. Who knew Brayden Gardner had that much influence?” Sophiemused, surprised that the director could replace people willing to help him.Tristan hung up the phone,a flicker of annoyance crossing his face. don't care who tries to intercede for the Gardners today.No amount of pleading would work."Don’t be angry, Mr. Tristan. It's not good for your health,”Winter said as she poured him a glass of red wine.Besides, is it worthwhile getting so worked up forSophie?Instead of drinking the wine, Tristan opened one of the beers on the coffee table and took agulp.Naturally, Winter was shocked. Everything around her was changing so rapidly that she hadtrouble grasping them. “Mr. Tristan, didn’t you use to dislike drinking beer?” she blurted out."Winter,there's no need to be so strict,” Tristan replied. Does she expect me to report my likes and dislikes?How ridiculous.Sophie, too, had grabbed a beer to drink. Winter's trying to show me up, isn't she?Why else would she keep implying how much she knows Tristan? Then again, so what if she knowshim well? He doesn't fancy her at all. Winter tightened her grip around the glass. “That's not what Imeant, Mr. Tristan.”"All right, all right. We're here tonight to celebrate Winter's success, so cut hersome slack, Tristan,” Charles chimed in. He couldn't bear to see his sister being so infatuated withsomeone who didn't reciprocate her feelings.Thankfully, Tristan glanced at Charles and said nothingmore.Even though she felt aggrieved, Winter merely sat silently, not daring to say anything

else. However, there was no doubt that she hated Sophie with a vengeance. was supposed to havemy celebration party tonight, yet Sophie has to show up and ruin everything for me. It hurts somuch to hear Tristan criticizing me!”It's getting late. I should go home now,” Sophie muttered as shegot up from the couch.Since Winter and I dislike each other, there's no point in staying here andwasting my time. We should go our separate ways.”"Okay. You guys continue with the party, then. I'llsend her home,” Tristan said.Winter looked up in disbelief, but Tristan had already left thecouch.”Mr. Tristan, what's this about?” Felix asked in bafflement. We've barely started drinking, andhe's already on his way out?“I'm not in a good mood. You guys carry on without me!” Tristananswered before following Sophie out of the room."Got it!"Ha! So, Mr. Tristan's also the kind whofavors his lover over friends!After leaving the room, Sophie turned to Tristan.”Mr. Tristan, I can makemy own way home. You don’t have to give me a lift."’Even if I stayed, Id only be drinking with them.What's so fun about that?"With so many people jostling about in the bar, Tristan swiftly pulledSophie into his arms when he saw someone about to bump into her.“Are you all right?"“I'm fine,”Sophie replied. “Are you sure you don't want to stay? I know Ms. Quigley would want youto.”"Sophie, it doesn't matter what Winter thinks. I have nothing to do with her."Indeed, Tristanwasn't a promiscuous person by any means, and he had never done anything to lead Winter on.
