Anything For Her

“No need to do that. Don’t look into it!” That was Sophie’s private matter, and if she did not want to talk

about it, he would not look into it.

“Why, Mr. Tristan!” The man was baffled. It was something that could be easily solved, but Tristan had

chosen to drink away his sorrows instead.

“It’s basic respect. I don’t want to learn about her past from anyone else but her. I want her to tell me

about it herself.”

If I can’t even earn her trust, what right do I have to be with her?

“Okay. Anyway, I won’t be able to hold myself back if Belle has someone else in her heart.”

At that, Charles said, “Did you think that you’re the same as Mr. Tristan?”

Sean replied, “Absolutely not.”

“Sh*t, you’re all bullying me. Am I that easy of a target?” Felix was speechless. He wanted to leave

them—he wanted to leave that group of people who were all mean to him.

Meanwhile, Yale brought Willow to the Laird residence, hoping that Mason would be able to help him

take back everything that belonged to him.

“Mason, I’ve only come because I’ve run out of options. The shareholders’ meeting is about to start. I

hope you can help me out.”

After hearing his explanation, Mason finally realized what was happening.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Tanner. I know what you mean. I have something to settle right now, so I’ll be leaving

first.”

The etiquettes that had been instilled in Mason since young made him a gentleman, and he was polite

to everyone he talked to.

Upon hearing Mason’s reassurance, Yale became at ease.

“Mason, I knew that you’d help me out. All right, go ahead. I won’t disturb you any further,” Yale replied

smilingly.

When Willow saw Mason heading out, she hurried over to him.

“Thank you, Mason.” Willow felt that Mason had agreed to her father’s request because of her.

However, Mason did not even spare her a glance.

“Is something else the matter?”

At that, Willow gripped the hem of her skirt, unsure of what to say to him.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off now.”

Mason walked off, leaving Willow with tearful eyes.

All of a sudden, Willow felt discouraged. Will Mason really get engaged with me?

At Jipsdale Premier High, Willow went to look for Sophie after class.

The moment Ysabelle saw Willow, she turned sullen. Why is she appearing in our line of sight again?

“Willow, don’t you know when to quit? Soph doesn’t want to entertain you, so scram aside!”

There are always people who keep coming back despite the obvious signs of rejection. They’re maddening!

“Sophie, Mason, he…”

“Willow, you’re really annoying. Didn’t I tell you to stay out of my sight? Whatever happens to you and

Mason is your business and yours alone. It has nothing to do with me, and I’m not at all curious about

what is happening between the two of you.”

Sophie decided to make herself clear one last time to stop Willow from coming to her again.

“Is that so? I hope that’s the case. Sophie, don’t be a b*tch and appear anywhere near Mason.”

Hearing that, Ysabelle could not hold herself back anymore.

“Willow, you better filter your words before you say them, or else you’re going to get it from me,”

Ysabelle snarled as she stood in front of Sophie and shielded her.

Willow sneered.

“You look stupid,” Willow insulted.

Ysabelle only became angrier.

“Willow, believe it or not, but I’m going to tear that mouth off your face,” Ysabelle snapped, about to go

mad because of Willow.

“No one’s stupider than you, Willow. You’re here talking nonsense to me because you’re not confident

about winning Mason over. You’re scared that he won’t love you. That’s why you’ve come to me.”

Sophie had hit the nail on the head, and it infuriated Willow.

“What’s the matter? Are you still hoping to return to Mason’s side?” Willow bellowed.

Mason’s mine, and no one can take him away from me!

“Am I going to steal him from you?” Sophie laughed, a tinge of nonchalance and slyness apparent in

her voice. “Do I need to steal him from you? I don’t even need to do anything, but Mason will do

everything he can to get my forgiveness.”

At that, Willow turned so furious she could not even come up with a response.

That was how it was in the past too. Sophie could easily gain everyone’s attention without needing to

do anything.

On the other hand, no matter how hard Willow tried, she would still end up with nothing.

Life was simply unfair.

“Take a deep breath, but don’t choke and die. You won’t even be able to hold me accountable for that.”

Sophie had initially wanted to ignore her, but Willow just kept coming to her.

In that case, Sophie saw no need for holding herself back anymore.

Meanwhile, Ysabelle had a look of admiration on her face.

Soph just destroyed her with just a few sentences! As expected of my dear Sophie.

“Let’s go.”

Sophie then walked away from Willow, and Ysabelle hastily followed Sophie.

Finally, Willow could not keep control of her emotions anymore. She dashed toward Sophie and tried to

push her.

“Soph, watch out!”

Sophie was walking down the stairs, and if Willow succeeded in pushing her, the consequences would

be dire.

Desperate, Ysabelle sped over to shield Sophie.

“Ah!”

In the end, Ysabelle was the one who was pushed down the stairs. The moment Sophie saw Ysabelle

landing at the end of the stairs, fury overcame her.

“Willow, you’re f*cking asking for it!”

However, Willow remained standing in the same spot as she looked condescendingly at the two other

young women.

“Remember this. Don’t cross me. I’m not someone you could afford to mess with.”

Sophie was still seething in rage, but she ran toward Ysabelle to check on her.

It was then she realized that Ysabelle had several red marks on her.

“Ugh, it hurts so much!” Ysabelle was terrified of pain, and her eyes had turned red-rimmed by then.

“Soph, my leg hurts!”

“It’s okay. I’m here.”

Sophie then lifted Ysabelle up like how a prince would carry a princess before running toward the

school’s infirmary, ignoring the gazes of the other students.

Bailey spotted them on his way up the stairs, and he instantly went after them.

“What happened? What’s going on?” he anxiously asked.

Sophie ignored him.

“Sophie, let me carry her instead!” Bailey offered. She’s a girl. It must be tiring for her to carry another girl!

“It’s fine.”

Sophie brought Ysabelle straight to the infirmary without breaking a sweat.

“Leave,” Sophie coldly ordered when she realized Bailey was still around.

“I can help you out.”

“I’m about to give her a body checkup. Are you going to stay and watch?”

At that, Bailey rubbed his nose and slunk out.

Sophie then locked the door.

“Take off your clothes.”

Even though they were both girls, Ysabelle could not help but blush in embarrassment at Sophie’s

flirtatious-sounding words.

“Soph, I’m fine. It’s just a few scrapes.”

Nevertheless, Sophie remained silent as she stared at her friend.

Left without a choice at the intense stare, Ysabelle took off her school uniform.

Then, Sophie briefly checked her body and found a few spots with severe grazes.

Once Sophie was done finding all the spots, she went to the cabinet to grab a few bottles of

medication.

After studying them for a while, she finally applied them to Ysabelle’s wounds.

“Soph, I’m really fine. Let’s go back to the classroom.”

Frankly, Ysabelle was happy. Sophie had always been the one to take care of her, but she was finally

able to do something for her friend in return.

“I’ll get Mr. Tristan to bring you to a checkup.”

Although Ysabelle seemed fine, Sophie still wished that the former would be able to undergo a

thorough body checkup.

“No, it’s okay. I’m really fine. Soph, Willow’s so scary. You really have to stay away from her in the

future.”

“Okay. Ysabelle, don’t intervene if a similar thing happens again. She’s no match for me.”

“Soph, I just want to help you out. Although I’m a little hurt, I’m fine as long as you’re fine.”
