Chapter 354
Ysabelle pouted. “It’s not that serious. I’m only going to drink a little bit. It’s not like my dad will kill me. He’s actually quite an open-minded person!”
Her urge to drink the beer was intense.
“It’s fine. Drink it. You’ll just return to Wisteria Apartments with me later at night. This way, there won’t be any problems. Do you think so?” Sophie spoke up.
Felix shot her a begrudging glance. What is she doing? How can she let Ysabelle do that?
“I knew it! Sophie’s the one who treats me the best, unlike a certain someone who only wants to control me all day. Hmph!” Ysabelle spat.
That made Felix feel a little depressed. “You are heartless, Ysabelle. How can you talk about me like that when I’ve been so nice to you? Did I not treat you well?”
Upon opening a bottle of beer, Charles handed it to Ysabelle with a smirk. “Relax, it’s just a bottle of beer. Ysabelle’s a woman now, so she gets her drink. Since you like her, you shouldn’t go against her all the time.”
Ysabelle smiled giddily as she drank the beer. “You’re the best, Charles!”
The way Felix looked at Charles changed when he saw her grinning gleefully at Charles. It seems like I need to find time to deal with Charles.
Charles ignored him and continued to drink the beer.
This tastes pretty good! After Ysabelle took a couple more sips, she sighed, feeling content. “This is pretty good.”
Well, since she wants to drink, then I’ll just let her do it. Felix put a piece of meat on her plate. “You should eat something, too. Don’t just drink the beer. It’s not good for your body.”
He had no idea how to handle her.
Seeing how much the group was enjoying drinking, Sophie wanted to drink too, so she whispered next to Tristan’s ears, “Since everyone’s in a good mood today, I’ll drink a little more.”
Her adorable appearance softened his heart into mush. How can a woman like her exist in this world? She really makes me want to give her my everything willingly.
“Fine, you can drink a little more.” It wasn’t an issue even if she got drunk because he was there to take care of her.
A satisfied smirk formed on her face before she grabbed his beer and drank it.
“Cheers, Sophie!” Ysabelle lifted her bottle and let it clink with Sophie’s.
Seeing how Sophie only kept drinking beer, Tristan grabbed her a few pieces of beef. “You should eat something first before drinking. Consuming alcohol by itself is harmful to the body!”
“Mhm.” She was willing to go along with his request since he agreed to let her drink.
Tristan wasn’t a big fan of the type of food lying on the table, so he only drank a little bit of beer.
It was then Sophie’s phone rang.
Since it was from Sunny, she answered the call right away.
“How did you do it, Sophie? Did you know? Clayton apologized! He actually did that!” He was pretty excited and didn’t speak clearly.
Still, Sophie knew what he was talking about. “All right, you should rest now. There’s nothing notable about people apologizing.”
It was just an apology, yet it made him so happy. Shouldn’t people apologize for their wrongdoings? Since Clayton’s the one in the wrong, shouldn’t he say sorry? She pondered.
Despite that, Sunny still thanked her, “I know you’re the one who did it. Thanks! if not for you, there’s no way in hell that the arrogant bast*rd would’ve apologized!”
“There is no need to utter those words to me. I don’t like to hear it.” After all, they were best friends, and there was no way she would allow her best friend to be bullied. “Also, no need to worry about your hand. I’ll ask Arius to come back and take a look!”
The doctors in the country had no idea how to fix his hand, so the only thing they could do for the moment was to wait for Arius to return.
“Mmm, got it.” Sunny really regretted the series of trouble he had caused for being impulsive then but it was too late and meaningless.
Upon hanging up the phone, Sophie turned on Twitter and saw Clayton’s personal apology.
However, it was completely insincere, which ticked her off. He may as well not send it at all!
Tristan noticed her cold expression and gently held her hand. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
In response, Sophie showed him Clayton’s apology.
He commented, “Hmm, he doesn’t sound sincere at all.”
I knew it! He shares the same opinion as me. Hmph, if Clayton doesn’t want to apologize, he could’ve refused to do so. Since he agreed to do it, he shouldn’t have done it so half-heartedly! He just pisses
me off.
Coldly, she uttered,
“Seems like he needs to be punished further!”
“Don’t worry. This time, we’ll make sure to teach him how to behave!” That was unquestionable in Tristan’s mind.
“What are you two talking about?” Ysabelle was curious about what got the couple so heated.
“Turn on Twitter, and you’ll see!” Sophie replied.
Ysabelle and the others also turned on Twitter.
Naturally, they were very unhappy with Clayton’s disingenuous apology.
“Don’t worry, Sophie! I’ll make sure Clayton pays a terrible price for causing Sunny to get injured that badly! I won’t let you all down!” Sean exclaimed.
“I thank you in advance, then.” Sophie raised her bottle to toast him.
Going along with the flow, Felix uttered, “I disliked Clayton since a long time ago! If he wants to die this badly, we’ll just fulfill his wish! This time, we’ll ensure Zales Corporation will no longer be able to keep operating in Jipsdale!”
“You finally said something pleasant to my ears!” Ysabelle smiled. Even though she couldn’t help with anything regarding that matter, she was still eager to watch Clayton get his comeuppance.
The next morning, Clayton immediately called Sophie and she answered.
“Look, I’ve sent the apology. What more do you want? Just tell me.” He would prefer it if things stopped escalating.
“Do you really think this is over, Clayton? Your apology is completely insincere.”
“What do you mean by that, Sophie?”
“Fine. I won’t blame you for having terrible grades on your Chanaean paper, so let me spell it out for you. You will film an apology video and then apologize again in the hospital before Sunny!”
“What? Apology video?” Writing the apology post on Twitter was already something Clayton was very reluctant to do, yet Sophie tripled down her request.
“Of course, you can choose to say no.”
At that moment, Clayton really wanted to tear Sophie apart. How can this woman be so arrogant?
“There’s all I have to say. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up the phone now.” She thought she was being really kind by giving him a reminder.
“Fine, I’ll do what you say!” The conversation made him feel very depressed. Aren’t I getting way too unlucky lately? Why is it that everything I do was fruitless?
“Okay, I’ll wait for your video. I hope you won’t disappoint me again!”
