    Chapter 357


    She discussed a few more things with Sean and learned that he had been well-prepared for the case.


    Only after she left Sean''sw firm with Tristan and got into the car did she heave a sigh of relief.


    Since everything is ready, there should be no problems now.


    “You look nervous,” said Tristan, thinking she was nervous because the matter was about Sunny.


    “I''m not nervous. I only want to seek justice for Sunny.” Sophie thought yton must take


    ountability for Sunny''s injury.


    “Don''t worry. Sean can handle it. Just leave it to him.” Tristan believed that everything would go well


    with Sean''s help. “By the way, the university entrance exam is around the corner. You should prioritize


    your study and do your review. Understand?”


    “Understood.”


    Sophie had never worried about the university entrance exam but could only answer in such wise. After


    all, there was no way she would tell Tristan that the exam was a piece of cake and that she did not


    have to do any review.


    It was eight o''clock at night when Tristan and Sophie went to pick Arius up at the airport.


    Arius saw them from a distance.


    Undeniably, the duo was too eye-catching.


    He could see the duo without much effort in the bustling arrival hall.


    These two be the center of attention no matter where they go.


    Arius only carried a backpack and did not take any suitcase with him.


    Once he approached Tristan and Sophie, he spread his hands and wanted to hug Sophie.


    “You don''t even know how much I miss you, Sophie. Come and give me a hug!”


    Tristan stared at him from the side as if he was a fool.


    “Stop it! Let''s go.” Sophie ignored him.


    What is he doing? Can''t he see Tristan is here? Also, we never hug each other in the past.


    “You''re so mean, Sophie. You don''t love me anymore. You were the one who asked me toe back,


    yet you''re ignoring me when I''m here. Fine. I might as well just go back now,” said Arius with a sad


    face.


    Sophie was rendered speechless by his words.


    Drama king! What a great acting spirit he has!


    “Let''s go, Arius,” Sophie repeated.


    “Sophie, what is this guy doing here? I don''t like him.” Arius stood still and refused to leave.


    “As if I like you,” said Tristan.


    Since Arius disliked him, he naturally had no liking for him too.


    “Let''s go, Sophie.” He paid Arius no mind.


    Since Arius hade all the way here, Tristan believed he would not just leave.


    Arius went into silence as he watched the duo walk out side by side.


    He was exasperated.


    How dare they be so mean and ignore me! They are the ones who invited me here. How can they do


    this to their guest? Wait... Is Sophie really going to dump me here?


    Seeing that nobody gave a hoot of him, Arius could only give in and follow behind the duo.


    How unlucky am I to have such a friend who prioritizes love over friends? I thought we were close


    friends, but she left me to chill with her boyfriend.


    Having that thought in mind, Arius decided to ignore Sophie and would not help her if she came to him


    in the future.


    In the car park, Tristan opened the car door for Sophie and closed the door after she had entered the


    car.


    Arius was left alone, standing at the side.


    “If you don''t want a ride, you can just take a taxi back. I''ll pay the fare for you.” Tristan did not spare


    him.


    “Hey, don''t look down on me, Mr. Tristan. I have the money to pay for the taxi fee,” said Arius. D*mn!


    This guy is too much.


    “Since you have the money, just go back on your own.”


    “You...”


    Tristan''s words pissed Arius off.


    He immediately opened the car door and hopped into the car.


    I bet he did that on purpose. Hmph! I definitely won''t fall into his trap.

    Tristan raised his brow upon seeing that.


    Hmm... this guy isn''t that dump anyway.


    He got into the car and started the engine.


    “Sophie, I don''t like staying in a hotel. Since there''re vacant rooms at your ce, I''ll just stay in one of


    them.”


    Arius shot Tristan a provocative re at the end of his words.


    “No problem.” Sophie had no objections to his suggestion, thinking he only came back to treat Sunny''s


    hand and would only stay for a few days.


    Arius was delighted to hear her answer.


    Hmph! Since you''ve pissed me off, I won''t let you feel good either, Mr. Tristan.


    Just as Arius expected, Tristan''s expression darkened instantly.


    He even shot Arius a re.


    Nevertheless, Arius was not afraid at all. He thought Tristan would not do anything to him as long as


    Sophie was beside them.


    Nevertheless, Tristan drove Arius to the hotel in the end.


    “What''s the meaning of this, Mr. Tristan? I thought we had agreed that I would stay at Sophie''s ce.


    Look, Sophie. This guy didn''t even listen to you. You''d better not go out with someone like him.”


    “Arius, how can a grown man like you think of living under the same roof with a youngdy? Don''t you


    think you are asking for too much?” Tristan questioned candidly.


    Since the matter involved his girlfriend, there was no way he could tolerate it.


    “What a dirty mind you have, Mr. Tristan. Even if we live together, that doesn''t mean that something will


    happen between us. Please stop judging others by your own measures.”


    Arius thought he shared a close rtionship with Sophie, and there was nothing wrong if they lived


    under one roof.


    Sophie felt her head throb when she saw the two men arguing.


    She wondered why the two gentlemen would end up fighting after they met each other.


    “Sophie, say something. I don''t want to stay in the hotel. I only want to stay with you.” Arius refused to


    give in.


    Tristan, on the other hand, said nothing.


    “Stop kicking up a fuss, Arius. You normally stay in a hotel, don''t you?”


    Arius was rendered speechless.


    Err... Did she just make a choice?


    “Tell me, Sophie. Am I not important to you anymore?”


    He could not ept that Sophie, who had fought alongside him and gone through life and death


    together, had chosen Tristan without a hint of hesitation.


    “Arius, you will always be my best friend,” said Sophie, hoping that Arius would satisfy with her


    deration.


    Arius was pleased with her answer atst.


    “I''m d that you think this way.”


    Tristan was rendered speechless by their conversation.


    Hmph! This bloke is here to get attention.


    Hang you!


    “You must treat me to a meal after this. Don''t bring anyone with you. Just the two of us.” It was


    apparent that he was telling Sophie not to bring Tristan along.


    “Sure. Go and freshen up first. I''ll treat you to a meal after that. Just the two of us. Are you satisfied?”


    “You sound a little reluctant. Well, I don''t like to impose.”


    Sophie took a deep breath upon hearing that.


    Apparently, her patience had reached its limit.


    “All right, all right. I''ll go and freshen up now.” Arius immediately gave in when he saw her like that.
