Chapter 309 Provocation
Although he wasn’t beside her, and the only other person around her was Ysabelle,
Sophie’s heart still palpitated after she listened to his shocking response, prompting
her to clutch her chest.
Oh, no! D*mn it! Is this how it feels like to fall for someone? He’s not by my side at the
moment, yet he’s still capable of having such a significant influence on me!
Taking in Sophie’s demeanor while talking on the phone, Ysabelle couldn’t contain her
urge tough. It looks like I got worried for nothing. Sophie is still very much in love
with my uncle.
She knew that was the truth by looking at Sophie’s cheerful and contented facial
expression. At the same time, she was genuinely happy for her uncle. After all, he
didn’t spend so much time keeping herpany for naught.
All of a sudden, Ysabelle felt a little dejected.
She was rather thrilled to see others in love, but she wondered when she could finally
get involved in a romantic rtionship with someone.
Oh God, where is my prince charming? Have you forgotten to assign me one when
you created me?
She was a little depressed after giving that matter some thought.
Meanwhile, after Sophie talked to Tristan for a while longer, the oue was for him
to order food delivery from another five-star hotel.
On the other hand, when the manager of the Michelin restaurant was informed of the
canceled delivery, he felt worried and fearful because he didn’t know in which aspect
they did poorly to displease Tristan.
The manager even instructed his men to find out the reason.
Sophie walked up to Ysabelle and sat beside thetter to have their lunch together.
Ysabelle looked at Sophie and chirped, “Sophie, how does it feel to be in a
rtionship with my uncle? I’ve always thought of him as a cold and unapproachable
person. In addition, you’re not that talkative either. Won’t you two feel awkward
hanging around each other?”
That was something Ysabelle had always wanted to know.
“Is your uncle that unapproachable? I think he’s fine.” At the very least, Sophie
thought Tristan was not what Ysabelle described whenever he was with her.
Ysabelle was stumped.
Even Felix, who works for my uncle, mentioned he was distant and unfriendly, yet
Sophie doesn’t seem to share this sentiment. Indeed, the rtionship paradigm differs
from one person to another.
After finishing their lunch, the two took a nap.
Sophie couldn’t help but send Tristan a message: Are you unapproachable and cold?
Tristan swiftly replied with a question mark a second after her text was delivered.
“I am cool but not cold!” Staring at his message, a grin spread across her face
uncontrobly. That’s right. He may look aloof but he was never cold. In fact, he’s
even a little warm sometimes.
“Bailey, you must trust me. That Sophie is just pretty. In fact, she’s someone’s sugar
baby, so she doesn’t deserve you!” Mavis was relentless.
Seeing how the training camp was about to end and Bailey had yet to see Sophie’s
true colors, Mavis grew more anxious than ever.
“Mavis, don’t me me for what I’ll do if you continue to spout nonsense. How can
you talk smack of others behind their back?” She’s being so harsh with her words by
saying that Sophie is a sugar baby.
“I’m telling the truth! Sophie is too adept at putting up a facade. You need to stop
defending her while she’s deceiving you, all right?”
“Well, I’m happy that she does that.” Regrettably, Sophie couldn’t even be bothered to
do that to me. I’m not worth the effort for others to even lie to me.
When Sophie and Ysabelle entered, they coincidentally heard their conversation.
Ysabelle couldn’t help but wonder. This Bailey is quite a loyal person. Does he like
Sophie that much?
“Sophie, do you feel troubled at times for being born with such good looks?”
Naturally, Ysabelle heard Mavis’ words as well.
What’s wrong with this Mavis? Does she have to show up in front of us and disgust us
with her revolting personality and behavior? A sugar baby? Who’s so capable of being
Sophie’s sugar daddy? I’d like to meet this person.
“Hmph! Am I not speaking facts? Everyone participating in thispetition has our
meals at the resort except for you two. Are you two getting special treatment because
you think you’re the only rich people here?”
Since Sophie and Ysabelle had heard her, Mavis couldn’t care to hold her opinion
anymore.
“Oh, my. It seems like you intend to challenge my patience. That’s right. I’m wealthy,
and I want to be special. What can you do about that? Did the organizer of the training
camp mention any rules on forbidding the participants from eating outside food? Who
do you think you are to make thesements about us? If you have what it takes
why don’t you get yourself the special treatment too? All you do is stare at Sophie all
the time. What’s the matter with you? Are you afraid that Sophie will defeat you? If
you’re so scared, you should just withdraw from thispetition!”
Mavis was rendered speechless and beside herself with rage.
“Is that so? Did you say I’m afraid of losing? Well, let’s see who will be the loser in the
end,” she glowered at Sophie.
On the contrary, Sophie didn’t even spare her a nce.
“Sophie, let’s make a bet. If you lose in this physicspetition, you’re prohibited
from taking part in any other physics contest, and you cannot show yourself in front of
Bailey in the future.”
Mavis was adamant in ming everything on Sophie.
“Why should I make this bet with you?” She’s not even qualified.
“What’s going on? Are you chickening out? Weren’t you always acting high and
mighty like you’re the smartest person in this world?”
“Are you done, Mavis?” Bailey piped up in resignation.
Mavis clenched her fists.
“Sophie, if you don’t dare to ept this bet, then you should just leave the training
camp at once,” she uttered haughtily.
“Sophie will never have the courage to ept the challenge.”
“That’s right. Mavis won the first prize in thest physicspetition, so Sophie will
undoubtedly lose if she takes on the bet. Therefore, no one will agree to a challenge
like this.”
“So what if she won the first prize previously? She aplished that because Sophie
didn’t take part back then.” Ysabelle had had enough of listening to those remarks.
“Sophie, you don’t have to keep up with the tough pretense. It isn’t embarrassing even
if you lose to Mavis.”
“You—” Ysabelle was beyond furious. How is that possible?
“Fine. I ept your challenge,” Sophie finally spoke.
“Sophie—” Bailey eyed her worryingly. Despite Mavis’ rotten character, she’s without a
doubt gifted in the field of physics.
“You don’t have to meddle in this matter. Since she’s so eager to be humiliated, I shall
fulfill her wish and do her this favor,” Sophie said nonchntly.
“Sophie, you don’t stand a chance against Mavis.” Most of the participants in the
current session also took part inst year’s program, so they had a good
understanding of Mavis’ prowess.
“Sophie, remember what you said. If you lose, you’re not allowed to join any other Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
physics contests, and you must stay away from Bailey in the future.”
Mavis wanted to ensure Sophie didn’t go back on her words after thetter agreed to
her suggestion.
“Don’t worry. I’ll remember my promises, but you need to do the same. You must steer
clear of me if you lose and never show your face before me.”
Sophie didn’t feel the need to hold back when dealing with someone as arrogant as
Mavis.
“Sophie.” Although Ysabelle had a lot of faith in Sophie, she couldn’t help but feel a
little worried.
Sophie wouldn’t have epted Mavis’ challenge if it weren’t for me. She couldn’t care
less about thetter from the beginning.
“It’s going to be all right. Don’t worry because I am confident in winning the
competition.”
