Pursuing Her Chapter 279
Chapter 279
Sack Her Immediately Wilma led them both inside. When the others saw Sophie and Tristan arriving,
they quietened down immediately. “Are they a little afraid of me?” Tristan whispered into Sophie’s ear.
The way they were sharing a secret conversation with each other made everyone envious. These two
are quite the perfect couple. “Ms. Sophie’s boyfriend is really hot.” “I know, right? They’re like straight
out of a romantic drama!” “How I wish I have a boyfriend like that.” Naturally, Wilma heard all those
comments, and she agreed with them all. No matter where Sophie went, she was, inevitably, the star of
the show.
“All right, everyone, let’s not crowd around here. Go and have a good time!” Only when Wilma said this
did the girls leave reluctantly. Tristan and Sophie settled down on the couch at one side of the hall. Not
long after that, Caleb arrived with Willow. There was hardly any reaction from the staff of Transfix
Cosmetics to the arrival of these two. Of course, they knew who these two people were, but they were
just not interested. Willow was upset when she noticed their attitude. I’m the heiress of Transfix
Cosmetics! “Caleb, just look at their attitude. They were so friendly and enthusiastic toward Sophie, but
they ignored us when we arrived. Don’t you think something is off? Sophie must’ve said something to
them!”
Caleb frowned. “Sophie’s the one who’s fighting alongside them, so it’s only natural that they admire
her. Stop overreacting, okay?” All he wanted was to get Tristan’s help, so he couldn’t be bothered to
heed Willow’sints. Most importantly, he did not mind how those people treated him at all. Caleb
and Willow went and sat down next to Sophie and Tristan. Tristan and Sophie were engaged in a
conversation, but Tristan seemed to be doing most of the talking. Sophie would asionally nod or
give a perfunctory reply. Within ten minutes of his arrival, Caleb could tell that Tristan tolerated Sophie
very much.
“Are you hungry?” Sophie shook her head. She didn’t feel hungry at all at that moment. “Are you
thirsty?” Words eluded Willow. Sophie is no longer a child. Does he really need to look after her like
this? Willow was green with envy. What happened to Mr. Tristan? I can’t believe someone as elegant
and charming as Mr. Tristan is pampering Sophie! This made Willow more jealous than ever. “Mr.
Tristan, are you interested in the research institute in Anndur?” Caleb could no longer suppress his
impatience after sitting quietly for a long while. He finally spoke up. His motive foring here today
was obvious.
When he spoke, Sophie could not help ncing at him. She had been wondering why he insisted on
attending the annual gathering of Transfix Cosmetics. Caleb was only concerned about the research
institute and had no interest whatsoever in the affairs of Tanner Group. It turns out that he is here for
Tristan. Tristan held Sophie’s hand tight. “No, I’m not interested.” Tristan was only polite for Sophie’s
sake. He showed much respect for Josiah who treated Sophie well. However, he showed no respect at
all for Caleb and Willow, who obviously did not care much about Sophie. Caleb had prepared quite a
speech to persuade Tristan. Unfortunately, when Tristan said he was not interested, all of Caleb’s
preparation had gone to waste. Caleb nced at Sophie, who tantly ignored him as if he wasn’t
even there. She didn’t speak up for him. When Wilma came over and invited Sophie to do a lucky draw,
thetter left with her. Sensing the tense atmosphere, Caleb excused himself and went to the restroom.

Only Tristan and Willow were left on the couch. Willow could not help stealing nces at Tristan. Ever
since Sophie left, the man had been checking his phone continuously, seemingly chatting with
someone. Willow had always felt that she was in no way inferior to Sophie. Furthermore, at this
moment, an idea was forming in her mind. If Tristan bes my boyfriend, Sophie will go through
much suffering. All this while, Sophie had been bullying me. This is my chance! Thus, Willow began
posing seductively, trying to captureTristan’s attention. She purposefully pulled up her skirt to the extent
that her underwear could be seen. The staff of Transfix Cosmetics nearby watched her antics and
thought she was a disgrace to all women. “Look at her disying her legs! Does she think that her legs
are beautiful?” “That’s right. Those legs look like an elephant’s legs. I can’t believe she had the
audacity to show them.” “The crux of the matter now is that she is trying to steal Ms. Sophie’s
boyfriend.” Wendy who was watching nearby became very angry. “Willow is really too much.” “Let it go,
Wendy. After all, she is Ms. Sophie’s sister.” Wendy could not bear it anymore. She brought a ss of
red wine over to the couch. Then, she “identally” spilled the ss of red wine all over Willow’s body.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Willow! I slipped.” Wendy acted rashly on impulse.
Therefore, when she saw the murderous look in Willow’s eyes, she was frightened. Willow was just
about to throw a tantrum when she remembered that Tristan was seated right next to her. She held
back her temper. I mustn’t get angry. I mustn’t. “Mr. Tristan, my clothes are wet. Can I borrow your
coat?” Willow’s tearful expression was quite a revolting sight to behold. Wendy, who was afraid just
now, no longer felt scared after seeing how pretentiously she behaved. Tristan finally looked up.
However, he walked away after merely sparing her a nce. “Mr. Tristan—” Willow was about to say
something else when she saw Tristan walk over to the stage and carefully help Sophie down the stairs.
The care and caution that he exercised while doing that made Willow so jealous that she gritted her
teeth, seething with rage. Tristan then took Sophie outside for some fresh air. “What are you staring at?
Do you know how much this dress costs? Do you think you can pay for it?” Willow vented her anger on
Wendy. “I’m sorry, Ms. Willow. It was really an ident.” Scared, Wendy kept retreating.
However, Willow was not about to let her off. She approached and grasped Wendy’s pigtail. “Answer
me! Did Sophie ask you to do it?” She slipped? Does she think I’ll believe that? When Wilma saw
Wendy being bullied, she quickly came over. “Calm down, Ms. Willow. Let’s talk things through
reasonably.” Wilma frowned. We didn’t invite Willow, yet she still showed up uninvited. To make matters
worse, she even bullied my staff! “Wilma, you’re just in time. This subordinate of yours sshed red
wine all over me on purpose. I’m not asking her to pay for this dress because she looks miserly. She
can’t afford topensate me, anyway. I want you to sack her instantly and I’ll consider the matter
settled.” “Ms. Lineker, I—” Wendy panicked when she heard that. She really liked this job. “Ms. Willow,
it’s all my fault. I beg you to please let me off! I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Willow raised her hand and gave Wendy a p right across her face. “I dare you to say that again!”
Blood dripped from the corner of Wendy’s lips. Willow didn’t hold back at all. Wilma instantly caught
hold of Willow’s hand when thetter was about tond another p on Wendy’s face.
