Chapter 507
She deserves it! Does she think she can seduce anyone just because she’s a looker?
Right when everyone thought Sophie was going to get beaten up, she stood up and grabbed Simon’s arm before throwing him to the ground.
A muffled thud rang out when the man weighing about two hundred pounds smashed onto the ground.
Everyone at the scene gaped in shock. Didn’t Simon learn combat skills before? Besides, he was the one who attacked first. How did he end up on the ground instead? The noise his body made as he hit the ground sounded painful!
“Are you okay, Simon?” The young woman who had a crush on Simon quickly went to him and helped him up before saying to Sophie, “Do you have any idea who he is? How could you do that to him?”
“I don’t care about his identity. The rest of you better stay out of my way!” Sophie never allowed others to walk all over her.
“You’re dead!” Simon fumed. “Do you think you’re all that just because you got into the University of Medicine? I’m going to get you kicked out in less than a day!”
Sophie did not bother to entertain him. Let’s see who will get kicked out instead!
“Are you all right, Simon? I’ll send you to the hospital now,” the young woman who was crushing on Simon uttered.
He shoved her aside and shouted, “Get away from me!”
Having been humiliated in front of so many people, he was infuriated, but he did not have an outlet to vent his anger.
When the young woman saw Simon turning away and walking off, she chased after him and voiced, “Would you stop being so willful, Simon? Don’t you know I’ve liked you for a long time?”
With that, the two of them left one after another.
Upon seeing what Sophie was capable of, none of the males in the classroom dared to bother her anymore. Forget about it. This girl can fight, and there’s no way we can get the better of her.
Everyone then started to do their own things. Since that was the first day of university, they were still getting used to the environment.
Suddenly, a young woman went up to Sophie and said, “Sophie, you’re going to get yourself in trouble! Simon is the son of a director at a famous hospital. I’m worried you might get expelled from the University of Medicine because you’ve offended him.” She harbored only kind intentions, for she was sincerely worried about Sophie.
“What’s your name?” Sophie was quite fond of her.
“I’m Sandra Quimby.” Sandra was a cute girl, albeit a different kind of cute compared to Ysabelle. One would be surprised to see her in a medical school.
“Oh! I’m Sophie Tanner.”
“I’m serious, Sophie. I went to high school with Simon and the rest. He’s a petty person. You humiliated him in front of so many people, so I doubt he’ll let the matter slide.” Sandra was genuinely concerned about Sophie.
In response, Sophie shrugged and said, “He should worry about himself.”
Simon did not return to the classroom that morning. Since it was the first semester, the syllabus was not difficult.
Although Sophie was doing well in the classes, the same could not be said for Sandra.
In fact, the latter was having trouble understanding the things being taught. How can there be such a vast difference between me and the others?
Frustrated, Sandra sprawled on her desk helplessly.
The morning session had ended by then. At that moment, Sophie was packing up her belongings. Seeing the state that Sandra was in, she asked, “Are you all right?”
“Sophie, did you understand everything that was taught?”
“Yes,” Sophie answered.
What’s the problem? I think they were fairly simple.
Sandra was rendered speechless for a while.
“I think I chose the wrong major!” She was very interested in medicine, yet she could barely understand what was being taught by the professor in the classes.
Hearing that, Sophie did not know what to say in response.
However, there was something about Sandra that attracted her. Therefore, she was willing to help her. “From now on, note down the things you have trouble understanding and ask me for explanations after class.”
Sandra bit her pen and asked, “Really? In that case, I’m going to need your help in the future.”
“Really.”
“Where are you going now? Can I buy you lunch?” Sandra started packing up her belongings as well.
It’s time for lunch, and we have to eat anyhow.
“I already have an appointment. I’ll eat with you next time.” With that, Sophie took her bag and left.
“She’s so cool!” Sandra muttered to herself.
In truth, she admired girls like Sophie. Not only is Sophie brilliant, but she’s also a fast learner and a beauty. Even a girl like me is very fond of her.
Upon leaving the building, Sophie whipped out her phone to call Quinton. She then gave him an address and hailed a taxi.
When Quinton arrived, she was not there yet.
However, there were ten minutes left till the agreed-upon time, so he was happy to wait for her.
“Is everything ready? We can’t afford to make any mistakes. Do you hear me?” he asked his subordinate.
“Boss, don’t worry! I’ve done this before, so nothing will go wrong,” the latter assured.
Right then, the subordinate heard his associate’s voice through his earpiece. The associate told him that Sophie had arrived.
“Boss, Sophie is here!”
“Okay. Stay calm,” Quinton said to his subordinate.
At the same time, someone brought Sophie in. The subordinate even pulled a chair for her once she arrived at the table.
“Sophie, we couldn’t have a proper talk since we were in a rush the last time around. Thus, I would like to have a word with you today,” Quinton uttered.
“Okay. Have you thought about it, Mr. Wheeler? Mark really isn’t cut out for Emerald Gang!” Sophie replied.
Quinton stayed silent for a while before saying, “He’s my son, so I, too, wish for him to be happy. However, some things are just beyond my control!”
“Mr. Wheeler, as I’ve said, as long as you can let Mark free, I’ll guarantee your safety! Mark isn’t cut out for a life full of violence,” Sophie said. Is he not tired of the life of a gangster yet?
“You seem thirsty. Take a sip of water first!” With that, Quinton shot his subordinate a look.
The latter immediately instructed the waiter to serve Sophie a glass of water.
“Drink some water! We have more than enough time to talk about this issue,” Quinton urged.
Sophie picked up the glass of water and took a sip. Seeing that she was drinking the water unwarily, he knew his plan would work out.
I spent a fortune buying this drug. One sip is all it takes!
“Mr. Wheeler, let Mark leave Emerald Gang, and I’ll get someone to take over Emerald Gang,” Sophie suggested. The matter is solved as long as someone can take over Emerald Gang, no?
“There’s no hurry, Sophie. You know how much Mark likes you, right?” Quinton asked. No matter what, Mark was his son. Hence, he would naturally want him to be happy.
“Mr. Wheeler, I’ve told you before. I have a boyfriend, so Mark and I can never have a romantic relationship as you wish,” Sophie answered. Didn’t I already make myself clear?
“All right, then! I know these things can’t be forced. Let’s drink!” Quinton voiced nonchalantly.
Noticing that she took another sip of the water, he smiled. Once she’s in bed, who cares if she wants it or not?
