Initially, the agent thought she could weather the storm by organizing a press conference. However, she could only wave her hands in despair when she was told that Tristan was involved. “Lorelei, do you remember what I told you the first day you entered the entertainment industry? I told you not to find trouble with Mr. Tristan, didn’t I? You have the guts, all right. In that case, there’s no need for a press conference. I think you should just pack up and leave.”
“What? Are you really giving up on me? The movie had just been released, and things are going great! Help me, okay?”
Lorelei couldn’t just give up on her career after all the sacrifices she had made.
Her agent stepped away from Lorelei and stared coldly at her. “Don’t you get it? You’re finished. The reason you’re breathing now is that Mr. Tristan had shown you mercy. However, I don’t know what’s going to happen to you if you don’t leave now. Think about it, will you? Did Mr. Zales say anything on your behalf when things went south? If even a person like Mr. Zales can’t help you, what makes you think we can turn things around?”
Lorelei slumped to the ground when she heard that. I’ve struggled and fought for so long. Am I finished just because of a minor mistake?“Is there nothing we can do?”
Lorelei couldn’t bear to give up on her career. What’s with my awful luck?The agent was unwilling to waste her time on the matter, so she turned around and left. Now, Lorelei is going to disappear from the entertainment industry for good.
After getting home, Sophie went to take a shower and changed into her pajamas. That was when she received a call from Cecelia.
“Are you okay, Sophie? I know what happened between you and Lorelei. Don’t worry. I’ll teach her a lesson and make sure she ships out of the entertainment industry.”
Ever since she joined the industry, Cecelia had never been involved in a feud. However, she couldn’t help it this time around because Lorelei messed with Sophie.
Sophie frowned when she heard those words. Has the matter been blown out of proportion?“It wasn’t easy for you to build your name. I don’t want you to tarnish it just because of something I’ve done. Stay out of it, okay? This has nothing to do with you. I know what to do to punish her,”
Sophie said.
“Sophie, why would you say that? What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? It has everything to do with me. When someone tries to slander you, they’re slandering me as well. How could I stand by and watch?”
Cecelia was angry. Prior to that, she had never cared about Lorelei. However, she just wanted Lorelei dead when she crossed her bottom line.
“Oh, goodness!”
Having grown up with Cecelia, Sophie was well aware of her temper. “That’s it, okay? It’s just Lorelei. She’s done for.”
“Okay.”
Cecelia knew Sophie would get annoyed if she were to carry on pursuing the matter.
“As an actress, isn’t the state of your complexion important to you? Sleep early, okay?”
“Hey, you’re way more important to me compared to my complexion.”
If Cecelia were a man, she would definitely be a sweet talker.
The two of them talked on the phone for quite a while before Cecelia reluctantly hung up.
When Sophie came out of her room, Tristan was still in the living room.
“It’s getting late,”
Sophie said.
Tristan raised his gaze and glanced at Sophie. She was standing there with her auburn hair over her shoulders, looking as beautiful as always.
He beckoned her over with his finger.
Upon seeing that, Sophie walked up to him and stood in front of him. “What? Didn’t I tell you I’m fine? What makes you think I can’t beat Lorelei?”
Sophie wasn’t one to get bullied.
“I know you’re very capable, Sophie. In fact, you can even fight off mercenaries. However, I’m still not willing to see you in any form of danger. Even if your counterpart has nothing on you, I would still stand by your side because I’m worried that you might get hurt. I don’t think I can ever stay away from you. Do you know how I feel?”
Indeed, once someone had fallen in love, they would do anything in their power to keep their significant other safe and sound.
He then suddenly held her waist and pulled her downward. Just like that, she was sitting on his lap.
Before that, Sophie was standing in front of him. She couldn’t help but feel that the position she was in was a little too intimate for her liking.
“Mr. Tristan!”
Sophie exclaimed in surprise.
To her surprise, Tristan merely rested his head on her shoulder.
Right then, she was overwhelmed with uncertainties. She really didn’t know what to say to make him feel better. All along, she preferred to take everything upon herself and protect the others.
However, she was at a loss whenever she was with Tristan.
Due to the uncertainties, she wasn’t even sure where she would end up in the future. Hence, she couldn’t promise Tristan anything.
“You’re so cruel, you know? I’ve already said so much, but you’re still unwilling to commit to me.”
Tristan had never expected that he would end up wanting an eighteen-year- old girl to make a commitment to him.
“I…”
At that point, she didn’t know what to say.
Tristan wrapped his arms around her neck and kissed her on her lips. “It’s all right. I’m not trying to put pressure on you when I said that. I just want you to know that you’re the only person I want to be with.”
After staying in that position for around ten minutes, he let go of her and let her sit on the couch. If he were to keep holding her in his arms, he could lose his cool and devour her whole.
Knowing that she was still young, he had to be patient and have some self-control.
“I’m sorry, but I need to take a shower. If you’re sleepy, you should just go to bed first. I’ll leave after I’m done showering,”
Tristan uttered. Sophie smirked when she saw him trying to flee the scene.
If some other men were to get turned on by her, she wouldn’t hesitate to end his manhood. However, since the man in question was Tristan, she found his reaction rather cute. At the same time, anticipation had grown in her.
After taking a shower, Tristan couldn’t help but smile wryly when he saw himself in the mirror. When did my willpower become so weak? Sophie was just sitting on my lap. It’s not like she was doing anything to me, so why couldn’t I control my urge?“Tristan, are you really a monster? She’s just an eighteen-year-old girl. What were you thinking?”
he asked himself.
The moment he thought about her soft lips and slender waist, his mind was instantly filled with lustful thoughts.
After showering, Tristan came out with a bathrobe on. Sophie isn’t in the living room anymore. She must be in bed already, right?Although his emotions were telling him to stay, his mind was telling him to get out of there. Hence, he quickly put on his clothes and fled.
When Sophie heard the door close, she got out of her room and went to the living room. As expected, he had already left.
A bright smile then appeared on her face when she recalled his actions and reactions earlier.
Tristan sent Sophie a text when he arrived home.
Tristan: I’m home. Sleep early, okay? Sophie: Okay.
Tristan wasn’t happy when he received the one-word reply. This girl is so heartless. I thought I’m a man with few words, but compared to her, it seems like I’m such a talker. It’s okay, though. All we have is time. I’ll slowly involve myself in her life, and she’ll get used to having me around.
With those lustful thoughts in his mind, he ended up having wet dreams that night, and Sophie was in every one of those dreams.
The next morning, Tristan was bewildered when he recalled those dreams he had. I didn’t even have a wet dream when I was a teenager. Nonetheless, those were some sweet dreams.
Tristan, the legend of Jipsdale, ended up needing a cold shower that morning to calm his thoughts.… In the meantime, Willow spotted Angie the moment she arrived at Jipsdale Premier
High, and she couldn’t help but frown. Didn’t I already get her to transfer to another school? Everything was arranged for her back then, so what is she doing here now?Willow grabbed Angie’s hand and dragged her into an alley.
Angie let her lead the way. Although she didn’t know where Willow was going, she knew she had a lot of things to say to her.
“Angie, I’ve already arranged for you to transfer to another school, no? You could’ve started a new life. What are you doing back here? You have nothing to do with Jipsdale Premier High anymore. Do you think you’ll have a peaceful life coming back here? Do you think Sophie is going to let you off the hook?”
Willow was very emotional. As long as Angie doesn’t come back, no one will find out about that incident.
“Willow, I can’t stay in that school. The students there only greeted me with punches and kicks. I can’t stay there. Please help me.”
Angie was holding onto Willow’s hand so tight that it was as if she was holding onto her last hope.
Willow wasn’t pleased. What is she doing? Does she need to do this? Why should I clean up the mess she has made in another school?“Angie, I believe I’ve done my part. Back then, you were the one who uploaded the photos on the forum, so it has nothing to do with me. I’ve already helped you, no? Why are you taking advantage of my kindness?”
Willow pulled her hand away from Angie and warned, “I’m warning you. Don’t ever show up in front of me again. Otherwise, I’m going to teach you a lesson. Also, watch your mouth. I’m sure you know what not to say.”
Angie stared at her in disbelief. If she didn’t send those photos to me, how would everything happen?“Willow, if I’m going down, I’ll be sure to drag you down with me. You’d better find another school for me. Otherwise, I’m going to come after you. Mason doesn’t know about your misdeeds, right? Do you think you would still have a chance with him if he finds out about this?”
