Chapter 93
lt;pgt;lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt; I Look Amazing Without Clothes
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Later that night, Sophie waited till Ysabelle had fallen asleep before helping Butterfly and the others
solve their problem.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Since she had a phone call with Arius that lasted over an hour after that, she only managed to get four
hours of sleep.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;As such, Sophie looked incredibly tired when the group had breakfast at the hotel dining hall the next
morning.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“What’s wrong, Sophie? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go back to your room and get some
rest?” Ysabelle asked worriedly.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“I’m fine. I just didn’t sleep well, that’s all,” Sophie replied.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She grabbed some random food items and a glass of warm milk before returning to her seat.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Tristan sat down in front of her with his breakfast and asked, “Are you all right?”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“I’m fine.”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Why is everyone asking me the same thing?
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Worried that she could be starving, Tristan transferred a lot of his food onto her plate.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;He had been doing stuff like that so often that Sophie had gotten used to it at that point.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“You should eat more.”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Since she wasn’t a model, he couldn’t stand seeing her being skinnier than actual models out there.lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;“Do you have a problem with my figure, Mr. Tristan?” Sophie asked lazily.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Yeah. You’re a little too skinny.”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Oh, please! I only look skinny because of the clothes that I wear! I’ll have you know that I look amazing
without them!”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Tristan kept quiet and stared at her chest before nodding in agreement.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;It wasn’t until a few seconds later that Sophie realized what she had said and blushed really hard.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;What the f*ck? I can’t believe I actually said that to a guy!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“You can prove it to me when we have the time,” Tristan whispered suggestively.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;I would gladly verify that statement of hers myself!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Their little intimate moment was interrupted when Ysabelle came over and asked, “What are you two
talking about? Your face looks really red, Soph! Are you actually feeling unwell?”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“I’m fine…” Sophie mumbled as she shoved a grape into her mouth.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Oh, by the way, what were you doing on the computer last night?” Ysabelle asked.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She had gotten up in the middle of the night and seen Sophie working on her computer.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Thinking that she was probably busy with something, Ysabelle didn’t want to disturb her and went back
to sleep.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“I was gaming.”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“That sounds fun! I want to join you the next time you play!”lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;“Sure.”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Phantom has struck again last night, Mr. Tristan,” Felix whispered with a depressed look on his face.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Being a huge fan of Phantom, he had always wanted to know who Phantom was but never had the
chance to find out.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Got it.”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Tristan was equally curious about Phantom’s identity. He wanted to recruit a talented individual like
that.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Sophie shot them a glance when she heard them talking about Phantom, but she carried on eating as if
she didn’t know anything about it.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;After finishing her food, Sophie was about to put the plate away when Tristan stopped her.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Leave it here. I’ll take care of it along with my own plate later.”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;As Sophie was having a stomachache at that time, she did as told and ran off to use the bathroom.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;The group had planned on having a fun day at the beach later, so Wilma and the others were going to
get their stuff from their hotel rooms.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;That was when Wendy accidentally bumped into a woman dressed in fancy clothes, knocking her
handbag to the floor in the process.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Are you blind or what? Why don’t you watch where you’re going?” the woman yelled angrily while
shoving Wendy off her.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Upon noticing the branded stuff the woman had on, Wendy apologized as she knew she couldn’t afford
to mess with her. “I’m sorry! It was an accident!”lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;“Saying sorry isn’t going to help! Do you have any idea how much this handbag costs? Someone like
you couldn’t possibly afford it!”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“I’m really sorry!”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;The woman’s temper flared when she heard her apologize again.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She slapped Wendy so hard that blood came out of the corner of her lips.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;As Wilma was walking in the front of the group, she didn’t realize the trouble Wendy had gotten herself
into until she heard the slap.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Hey, Ma’am! I don’t know what happened, but you shouldn’t have hit her like that!” Wilma got angry
when she saw the woman bullying her subordinate.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“She should consider herself lucky that a slap is all she got! Do you even know how much this handbag
costs? It’s a limited-edition item!” the woman snapped back at her.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;It pained Wilma to see Wendy’s face all swollen up. “Wendy, are you okay?”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Despite how aggrieved she felt, Wendy didn’t want to cause Wilma any trouble, as they were in
Koandria.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“I’m fine, Ms. Lineker…” she mumbled.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Apologize to me properly and compensate me for my handbag! Until then, none of you are leaving
Jinrich Island!”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Koandrians like her often looked down upon Chanaeans.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;I really want to tear this woman a new one, but we can’t afford to cause trouble now that we’re in a
foreign country…lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;With that in mind, Wilma asked, “How much do you want?”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Ten million!” the woman replied shamelessly.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“I don’t have that much money, Ms. Lineker!” Wendy was on the verge of crying.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Ma’am, your bag fell on the floor. How can that possibly cost ten million?” Wilma tried to reason with
her.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“My bag is dirty now, so I don’t want it anymore,” the woman replied arrogantly.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Everyone in the hotel knew she was the wife of the local business conglomerate, so nobody dared
intervene at all.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“You…”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Sophie had just returned from the bathroom when she saw them being surrounded.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“What’s going on here?” she asked as she made her way over.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Ms. Sophie!” Wendy burst into tears the moment she saw her savior.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Wilma gave her a brief summary of the situation, and Sophie narrowed her eyes after hearing her
explanation.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Those who were close to Sophie knew that look meant she was about to screw someone over, but the
woman was still mouthing off at them.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“How about this? Since you’re all so poor, I’ll be kind enough to let you all off the hook if you all
apologize to me sincerely.”lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;“You…”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Wilma was on the verge of exploding with anger at that point.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“It’s fine, Ms. Sophie!” Wendy said as she didn’t want to get them all in trouble.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“How much did you say this handbag is worth?” Sophie asked.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;As no one had ever dared stand up to her, the woman was completely fearless even when faced with
someone like Sophie.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Ten million.”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“All right. Fetch me a pair of scissors.”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Fearing that she would offend the woman further, Wilma tried to talk her out of it. “Ms. Sophie—”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“I said, fetch me a pair of scissors,” Sophie repeated herself.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Wilma had no choice but to do as told and returned with a pair of scissors in hand.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Sophie then handed the scissors over to Wendy without saying a word, much to her confusion.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“What are you girls planning on doing, huh? You’re in Koandria right now! Do you even know who I
am?”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Shut up!”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Sophie shot her a cold glare, causing the woman to go silent instantly.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She turned toward Wendy as she continued, “This handbag is worth a lot of money, right? Cut it.”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;This handbag is worth ten million, though! Are we seriously going to cut it?lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;Wendy glanced at Wilma with an uncertain look in her eyes.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Just do it!”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;With trembling hands, Wendy knelt down and began cutting the handbag in front of everyone.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;The woman was livid with rage when she saw that.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;It was really hard for me to get my hands on that handbag! I had to pull so many strings just to get it,
and these people are just cutting it to pieces?
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She got so mad that she wanted to kill them all on the spot. “You b*tches—”
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“While we can afford to pay you ten million for destroying your handbag, it’s clearly a fake worth only
ten thousand. Wilma, pay her ten thousand,” Sophie said with her arms crossed.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Wilma did as told and handed the woman ten thousand in cash.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;“Bullsh*t! Don’t give me that cr*p!” The woman refused to believe that she had spent ten million on a
counterfeit handbag.lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
