Anything For Her

Chapter 120 Just Like A Pest

“Sophie, I know you’re multi-talented, and I really hope that you can take part in the physics

competition. But I think you should withdraw from it since Bailey’s mom really wishes for him to take

part. The Dixon family has a lot of influence in our school, and I don’t want anything bad to happen to

you because of this,” Derrick said with a worried expression on his face.

Taking a pause, he continued, “You’re a very talented kid. I really don’t want—”

“Mr. Hayes, I really appreciate your advice,” Sophie interrupted. She knew that her teacher wanted the

best for her, and she had always held him in high regard. “Indeed, I was not keen on participating in the

physics competition previously. But I think I will have to take part in it now.”

She did not like Bailey’s mother’s attitude and wanted to teach her a lesson.

“Sophie! You—” Derrick exclaimed, his brows knitted together.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Hayes! Trust me, I can handle this. Just leave it to me.”

Yet, Derrick could not help but worry. How is she intending to handle it? She’s just a student!

Even so, he did not press on and returned to his office.

Just then, Sophie received a call from Tristan.

She answered the phone after walking to the corridor.

“I’m at your school entrance now,” the man said.

Sophie froze when she heard that. What is he doing here? Classes are still ongoing. ”Mr. Tristan,

what’s the matter? Class is starting soon.”

Didn’t we just part ways this morning? Did something serious happen that he has to come here now?

“It’s nothing. I tried calling you just now, but you didn’t pick up. I was worried that something might have

happened to you so I came here to check on you.”

Compared to Sophie’s composure, Tristan suddenly found himself rather ridiculous.

“I’m fine.” To give the man some reassurance, Sophie repeated, “Mr. Tristan, I’m really all right.”

“I’m glad to know that. I’m leaving, then.”

“Wait.” Since Tristan had already traveled all the way there, Sophie felt that she should at least meet

him for a while.

While she was walking down the stairs, she overhead Angie talking to Willow on the phone at the

corner of the stairs.

“Willow, what’s the plan now? You were the one who sent the photos to me. What should we do now

that the matter has blown up?”

Angie was terrified. She had only posted the photos on the spur of the moment, as she was clouded

with anger.

She felt extremely unsettled at the thought of how scary Sophie was.

“Angie, although I sent you the photos, I didn’t ask you to post them on the forum, did I? Besides,

nothing has happened yet. Why are you worrying in advance?” Willow was still running a fever after

falling into the lake. However, she perked up at once when she heard about Sophie’s situation at

school.

Almost bursting into tears, Angie exclaimed, “You don’t know how scary Sophie is!”

“That’s enough. Just relax.” Willow hung up after saying that.

The moment Angie turned around, she saw Sophie standing on the stairs, staring at her.

She dropped her phone in shock as the color drained from her face.

“S-Sophie… Don’t come over!” Angie shouted, a horrified expression on her face.

Sophie was speechless. What did I do? She looked as if she had just seen a ghost!

Angie turned around and dashed off at once. However, she tripped and fell on the stairs, as she was

too flustered.

Even though she could feel a sharp pain in her knees, she ignored it and continued running.

Sophie ran after her.

“Sophie, why are you chasing me?” Angie yelled.

“Willow won’t be able to help you,” Sophie said before she turned and walked away.

Angie slumped to the ground. Why does she look so horrifying? What should I do now?

Sophie sneaked out by scaling the wall. When Tristan saw her jumping down from the wall, his heart

skipped a beat.

This girl! Why does she have to climb over the wall when she can just walk through the gate?

Tristan was smoking a cigarette next to his car while waiting for Sophie. When he saw her, he snuffed

out his half-smoked cigarette at once and tossed it into the bin.

After she walked up to him, Tristan opened the car door for her. She hopped into the passenger seat

and closed her eyes.

She had wanted to see him when she received his call earlier on. However, she realized that she had

nothing to talk to him about and decided to take a quick nap in his car instead.

“Did you not sleep well last night?” Was it because of Mason? That guy had stayed outside Sophie’s apartment for the entire night.

“Aren’t you the one who didn’t sleep well instead?”

From Sophie’s words, it was apparent that she was aware that he did not go back the night before.

Seeing that Sophie had fallen asleep, Tristan took off his suit jacket and draped it over her.

Willow arrived at the school in the afternoon.

A few of her closest friends ran up to her when they saw her and said, “Willa, it looks like Sophie will be

expelled from the school for sure. In the future, no one will dare to snatch Mr. Laird away from you

anymore.”

“I know you girls care about me, but no matter what, Sophie is still my sister. I really don’t want that to

happen to her,” Willow said, looking sad.

“Willa, although you genuinely care for her, she has never treated you as her sister. If she had, she

would never have tried to snatch your man away.”

“Exactly! Don’t let others take advantage of your kindness.”

When Angie heard what the other girls said, she could not help but shudder with disgust.

Those girls were unaware of Willow’s true character and enjoyed hanging out with her. However, Angie

found the situation extremely ridiculous after knowing what she was really like.

Angie approached Willow after the other girls had left.

“Willow, everything happened because of you. Are you really going to stand idly by?”

The smile on Willow’s face completely disappeared when she saw Angie.

Frowning, she replied, “Angie, you should get things straight. You did that because you have a crush

on Bailey. If he knew about it, what would he think? Besides, don’t forget who his mom is. If she finds

out what you have done, you can forget about staying at Jipsdale Premier High. Anyway, Sophie

doesn’t know that it was you who posted those photos. Nothing will happen if you don’t say anything.”

Angie grimaced when she heard that.

Sophie doesn’t know about it? Obviously, she knows! She just hasn’t told Bailey yet.

Angie did not dare to think about how Bailey would react if he knew she was the one who did it. She

was sure that he would loathe her forever.

Angie deeply regretted what she had done. If she had remained rational and not acted on impulse, she

wouldn’t have to live every day in fear.

Willow let out a cold snort before shooting Angie a glance.

Look at how scared she is although nothing has happened yet! It’s no surprise that she’s always been bullied. Serves her right that no one likes her, and she can only admire her crush secretly.

While heading toward the classroom, Willow bumped into Sophie at the stairwell.

As there were only the two of them, the corners of Willow’s lips curled into a smug smile.

“Sophie, you should just leave Jipsdale! This place is not for you. See, even though you’ve been here

for just a while, you’ve already created so much trouble. You’ve even become the common enemy of all

the girls in school. Everyone is hoping that you’ll be expelled.”

To the others, Sophie was just like a pest that they were trying to chase away.
