“Wrong number,” Sophie replied, lying through her teeth.
Nichs doesn''t know when to give up, does he? Or perhaps he didn''t learn his lesson fromst time?
Tristan had a feeling that she was not telling the truth.
However, he decided not to probe further this time. If Sophie refused to answer him, he would not ask
any more questions.
Sophie stared at his back as guilt filled her heart.
There was nothing between her and Nichs. She did not tell Tristan because she did not want him to
worry.
However, he seemed down in the dumps because of the call.
“Are you all right?” Sophie asked tentatively. She did not wish for Tristan to get angry or upset.
After returning from the hot spring resort, Sophie immediately called Nichs.
Nichs'' lips curled up into a smirk when he saw the familiar number.
“Sophie, aren''t you being too mean? If I don''t call you, you''ll never call me first, won''t you? Are you
going to forget about me?”
Having not heard Sophie''s voice for so long, he truly missed her.
“I miss you so much. Should Ie to Jipsdale to visit you?”
Nichs seemed to have forgotten about what had happened in the past. Like someone who had been
parted from his lover for a long time, he wanted to fly over to her side.
“Nichs, haven''t you learned your lesson? I''ve warned you to stay out of my life. I will never like you.”
“Why not? I met you first. How could you fall in love with someone else? Do you know you''re breaking
my heart?” Nichs uttered hysterically.
I was the one who met her first. How can another man steal her heart before I do?
“Nichs, are you certain you''re not sick in the head? If you are, you can go to the hospital. Stop
spouting nonsense at me!” Sophie raged. Nichs was an important person. She could not afford to
get rid of him.
However, her patience had long run out after she was being pestered by him for so long.
“You''re right. I''m indeed sick. I''m suffering from lovesickness. Ever since you left, I''ve been thinking
about you every day.”
Sophie was rendered speechless by his absurd reply.
She took a deep breath, and only then did she manage to suppress the urge to hurl the phone.
“Nichs, just give up on your one-sided feeling. If you don''t want to push this to the point of no return,
you better stay out of my life.”
If the situation continued, one of them was bound to die.
“Sophie, are you threatening me now? You know very well that I don''t like being threatened by others.”
Why does she have to be so cruel to me? “I can give you whatever you want if you return to my side. I
mean it. Otherwise, I''ll never let you go even if I have to take you down.”
Nichs was utterly obsessed with Sophie. He could not bear to let her go to another man.
Sophie did not feel the need to continue the conversation.
No matter what I say, he will never listen to me. In that case, I will just let him be. At worst, we''lle
to blows. Let''s see who will have thestugh!
After hanging up the phone, Sophie turned on herputer and changed her number. This new phone
number was tied to someone else''s ID card.
She did not want to hear Nichs'' voice anymore.
Meanwhile, Felix and the others could only shake their heads when they saw Tristan drowning his
sorrows.
“Mr. Tristan, what are you doing? Did you break up with Sophie?” That''s the only reason he would
behave like this.
Hearing that, Tristan shot him a death re.
Felix rubbed his nose awkwardly. “Since you two are still together, why are you drinking so much? You
know that drowning your sorrows doesn''t work, right?”
“Felix, keep your mouth shut if you don''t know how to console him. Just drink with him instead,” Sean
said.
“I agree!” Charles chimed in. It''s just drinking. It''s not like we''ll die from drinking. What''s there to be
afraid of?

Felix shook his head and said, “You guys are insane. Very well, then. Since everyone here is crazy, it''s
pointless for me to stay sane alone. Let''s drink together.”
The four of them were all intelligent people. It had been a long time since they had drunk like this.
After having too much to drink, Felix began to talk nonsense. “Listen to me, Mr. Tristan. If a woman is
disobedient, you have to punish her. If you don''t teach her a lesson, she will start dominating you from
now on.”
“Punish her? I can''t bear to do that to her,” Tristan replied. How could I punish her?
Charles could not help but interject, “You can just pounce on her. She''ll behave herself afterward.”
That was the way to do it, or so he thought.
Sean was at a loss for words.
“I still can''t bear to do that,” Tristan uttered.
“Mr. Tristan, you weren''t a softie before. What happened to you? You can''t even bear to scold or punish
her. How will you control her in the future? Where''s your authority as a man?” Felix began again after
downing a few more drinks.
In his opinion, a man had to protect his status and power in the family.
“If that''s what you think, I''m scared to leave Ysabelle in your hands!”
What kind of old-fashioned view is that? A man should dote on his wife instead of beating or scolding
her.
Felix scratched the back of his head. “I was just joking! Do I look like someone who would beat up his
wife?” I still have a long road ahead of me.
Charles interjected, “That''s enough. Stop talking nonsense. Just finish your drink.”
He could notprehend how Tristan could love a woman wholeheartedly.
After all, there was no shortage of beautiful women in this world. Many of them were waiting to win his
heart.
Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free?
Sean said with a smile, “Don''t worry, Mr. Tristan. That Nichs is no match for you. He''s nowhere near
as handsome as you!”
Tristan fell silent momentarily before responding, “My Sophie doesn''t care about physical appearances.
She likes me because of my personality, not my face.”
Felix, Sean, and Charles were stumped for words.
yton was arrested for intentional homicide.
With all the evidence stacked against him, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Willow came to see yton on the day of his sentencing. Observing the man from afar, she saw the
once-favored child fall from grace after he offended Sophie.
Willow''s heart trembled when she thought of Sophie. I''ve finally understood that she isn''t one to be
trifled with.
yton stopped in his tracks when he caught sight of Willow.
“I want to have a word with that woman over there.” yton made a request.
The other party naturally knew yton''s identity.
No matter what, the staff still had to show respect toward the Zaleses. They had no choice but to
approach the woman.
After listening to the staff''s words, Willow went up to yton.
“What else is left to say between us?” Willow asked expressionlessly.
All along, she was nothing but a pawn for yton to use.
Hearing that, yton could not helpughing. There was no sign of despair on his face, as he was
confident of getting out of the prison.
“Willow, why are you acting as if I''ve failed you? You don''t really like me, do you?” yton asked. Both
of them knew what she was after. There was no point in pretending.
