Chapter 94 A Truly Swollen Face
Sophie didn’t want to waste any more of her time and energy on that woman.“We'll know for sureby having someone appraise it. You may not know whether your handbag is authentic, but you didslap my colleague across the face."The woman fell silent instantly.”Tell me, how much do you thinkyou should pay us for the slap?” Sophie pressed on.”Heh... I knew it! You lot are trying to con me ofmy money! Have you Chanaeans forgotten where you are right now? How dare you try to con me inmy own country?”“I think you should forget about it, Miss. She's the wife of a businessconglomerate.”Unlike in other countries, business conglomerates were incredibly powerful inKoandria.”l am not going to let this slide!” Sophie insisted.The woman pulled out a ten thousandnote from her purse and threw it at Wendy. There, is that good enough for you? That's tenthousand for a slap!”"Sophie got so angry that she actually felt a little amused. This woman sure issomething else! I can't believe she actually managed to anger me!”Oh... A slap is only worth tenthousand to you, huh? Since you like hitting people so much, I'll play a little game with you!"Shestepped forward and slapped the woman repeatedly across the face.Those slaps were so hard thatthey left the woman stunned with her ears ringing.It took her every ounce of strength she had justto remain on her feet."How many times did I hit her?” Sophie asked."Ten times,” Wilmareplied.Sophie took the purse from Wilma and threw ninety thousand at the woman's face.”Youwant to make more money? I'd be happy to keep oblige if you do, but my hands are a little tired, soI'll pay someone else to do it for me."You... Just you all wait and see!” the woman spat those wordsout before fleeing the scene.”Are you sure it's okay to do that, Ms. Sophie? Business conglomerateshold a great amount of power here!” Although it was incredibly satisfying to put that woman in herplace, they were still worried about the potential repercussions of their actions.”Don’t worry! I'mhere with all of you!” Sophie reassured them. wouldn't have done that if I were afraid of theconsequences! Besides, a business conglomerate from Jinrich Island is nothing compared tome!Tristan, Felix, and Ysabelle came running over when they noticed the commotion.”"Whathappened?” Ysabelle asked.”It's nothing. Some idiot just tried to bully us, that's all.”Sophie refusedto let anyone make a fool of her.Fearing that Sophie would get into trouble because of her, Wendysaid apologetically, “I'm sorry, Ms. Sophie! I really didn't mean for this to happen!“Tristan glanced atWendy's face and said, “Felix, get a doctor over here.”On it!"After hearing that Sophie had slappedsomeone ten times, Tristan held her hand and examined it as he asked, “Does your handhurt?"According to the law of action and reaction, it would make perfect sense for her hand to behurting after hitting someone that many times. Honestly, she shouldn't even have to get her handsdirty like this.Sophie and everyone else fell silent upon seeing his behavior.”Next time, let me do thehitting.”"All right, I'll keep that in mind."Everyone else then returned to their rooms while a doctortended to Wendy's injury.After hearing the doctor declare that she was all right, they headed over tothe beach as they had originally planned.The girls were quick to forget the unpleasant incident fromearlier the moment they saw how beautiful the scenery was.However, it wasn't in Tristan’s nature toforgive and forget like that."There is no longer any reason for that woman to exist now that she hasoffended me. Have Sean take care of this.""You sure are protective of Sophie, Mr. Tristan!""Ofcourse. She's mine, and I'm not about to let anyone bully her."Felix fell speechless upon hearingthat.Given how powerful Sophie is, I highly doubt anyone has what it takes to bully her!As Ysabellefound Wilma pleasant to hang out with, she decided to befriend her and said, “Let's add each otheron WhatsApp, Ms. Lineker! From now on, you may feel free to contact me if you ever need anything.I may not be as powerful as Soph, but I might just be able to help out!"Naturally, Wilma was wellaware of Ysabelle's capabilities.Having taken a liking to her personality as well, Wilma agreed to hersuggestion readily, “Sure thing!”Since the weather was great that day, Sophie decided to get off thechair and go for a stroll.She took her shoes off and walked along the beach with her feet in thewater.”l believe I've made myself clear enough, yes?"“Don’t worry, Mr. Tristan! Just leave it tome!“After all, making a mere business conglomerate go missing was a piece of cake for them.WhenTristan shifted his gaze toward the sea, he found himself mesmerized by how beautiful Sophielooked playing in the water.While making his way toward her, he paused in his tracks and took apicture of her on his phone.A boundless blue ocean in the background, and a beautiful goddesswith long hair that blows freely in the wind... This picture is perfect!Satisfied with how great thepicture turned out, Tristan put the phone away and continued making his way toward her.Instead ofwalking alongside her, Tristan simply followed behind her and admired the view.Sophie paused inher tracks and turned around to face him all of a sudden, but Tristan just kept walking toward herwithout breaking his stride.He didn’t do or say anything strange in particular, but Sophie found herheart beating faster as he got closer to her.Tristan came to a halt when he was about a step awayfrom her.Despite having so much power at his fingertips, he chose not to abuse it by forcing himselfon her.Instead, he believed that she would someday take that step toward him of her ownaccord."Hey, Felix... I think I might be homosexual... I don't know why, but seeing Uncle Tristantogether with Sophie makes me sad. Do you think I might've fallen in love with her?” Ysabellemumbled as she observed their interaction from afar.”Ysabelle, are you serious right now?” Felixcouldn't believe his ears.Don't tell me my rival in love is a woman..."But they look so goodtogether!” Ysabelle protested.Felix glanced in their direction and saw what she meant.It's true thatthose two look great together. In fact, it's such a beautiful sight that I feel like I'm watching someromantic Koandrian drama. However, it wouldn't be as beautiful if one of them turned out to be mylove rival!Unable to withstand her boredom any longer, Ysabelle ran up to them and grabbedSophie by the arm. “Let's have a competition!"“What kind of competition?” Tristan asked.Since hewas rarely open to such suggestions, Ysabelle wasn't about to let such an opportunity slip her by."Since we're at a beach, it only makes sense that we play a game of beach volleyball! What do youthink?"“I think that sounds great. Come here, Belle! You and I are on the same team!” Felix pulledYsabelle aside.Naturally, Sophie and Tristan were teamed up with each other.Wilma and the girlsgathered around after seeing what they were doing.”You can do it, Ms. Sophie!” the girls chanted inunison to cheer her on.”You sure have a lot of fans."”Eh, it's all right."Hmm... Looks like I still have along way to go if I am to become the only one who matters to her.”Since this is a competition, weshould have a wager to keep things interesting! Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Tristan?” Felixsuggested.Tristan arched an eyebrow at him in response. Does Felix think he can beat me? Isn't heoverestimating himself a little too much here?With that in mind, he asked, “Do you really think youcan win?"“Every competition will have winners and losers. Besides, I don't think I'm bound to lose!”Felix replied with a chuckle."That's where you're wrong. You're guaranteed to lose if you competeagainst me.”"You..."Felix was irritated by Tristan’s unbelievable arrogance, but there wasn't much hecould do about it."How about this? If I win, I'll trade places with Sophie!"He was truly going all outat that point.
