Pursuing Her

Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Coming Of Age Ceremony

The organizer froze to the ground with the trophy in his hands as he was at a loss for what to do next.

Suddenly, Tristan wrapped his hand around Sophie’s shoulder. Then, he took the trophy and released it, letting it shatter into pieces as it hit the ground.

“Since you people cannot organize a physics competition properly, then someone else should organize it in the future,” he commented.

After all, there are a lot of people who studied physics in Chanaea.

“Mister…” The organizing team was about to say something, but Tristan would not listen to another word of it.

Soon, the four of them just walked away.

Seeing that, Bailey, too, left.

Just like that, the country’s most well-known physics competition had become a joke thanks to Mavis’ antics.

At the same time, the organizing team’s months of effort had gone to waste.

“Bailey, who’s that person with Mr. Northley?” inquired the organizer, dissatisfied with Tristan’s words earlier. This is the most respected competition in the country. We can’t lose the right to organize it.

Bailey glanced at the organizer and answered, “That’s Mr. Tristan, the most famous person in Jipsdale. Tsk, tsk… You guys are dead meat.”

He had no intention of making their lives easy when he thought of how the organizing team treated Sophie earlier.

“What?”

At that moment, the organizing team was utterly devastated.

Felix was already someone they could not afford to mess with.

They never expected Felix’s backer would turn up as well.

Alas, it was too late to regret that.

In the meantime, Sophie and Ysabelle led Tristan and Felix back to their rooms to pack their things. As they were leaving with their luggage, the organizing team finally caught up to them.

However, none of them dared to say a word when they saw Tristan and the others walking out. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Just as the group was about to step out of the resort, the organizer finally mustered his courage and said, “Mr. Tristan, we were truly unaware that Ms. Tanner was your girlfriend. Perhaps, this is all a misunderstanding. Ms. Tanner is really talented. If she could represent Chanaea in the upcoming international physics competition, she’ll definitely be able to get into the International Academy of Physics.”

“The International Academy of Physics?” Tristan paused in his tracks.

Seeing Tristan finally showing interest in his words, the organizer explained enthusiastically, “That’s right. The purpose of this physics competition is to pick someone to enter the international physics competition. If the representative is one of the top three winners of the competition, he or she will be able to enter the International Academy of Physics in the future.”

However, Tristan ignored the organizer and turned around to ask Sophie, “Do you want to enter this academy?”

Hearing that, the organizer instantly shifted his gaze to Sophie.

To his horror, Sophie answered casually, “Hmm… I guess but I haven’t decided if I want to go.”

Her words left the organizer dumbfounded.

This is a great opportunity! How could she not make up her mind yet?

“Ms. Tanner, this has all been a misunderstanding. Please join the competition. You’re really talented in physics. It’ll be a waste if you don’t enter the academy.” The organizer was desperate to make Sophie change her mind for he did not want to lose the right to organize future physics competitions.

“I can still enter the International Academy of Physics even if I don’t join the competition,” said Sophie confidently. “All right. Let’s go. I’m famished!” she said.

It was her first visit to Summerbank, and she had yet to enjoy the local delicacies.

“Okay,” agreed Tristan.

As soon as he heard her words, he could think of nothing else except to take her out for good food.

Hence, Tristan paid no more attention to the organizer and left with the others.

Frustration flooded the organizer’s heart.

“What are we going to do now? We’d probably still stand a chance if it was someone else, but this is the famous Mr. Tristan we’re dealing with.”

His subordinates did not dare to say anything.

It was an ironic situation. After all, everything that happened earlier was the fruit of their decision. Yet, no one dared to speak when they were faced with a challenge.

At the end of the day, choices were very important in determining the future.

Previously, they sided with Mavis because they thought they could not afford to offend Reginald. What they did not expect was that their choice had resulted in them offending a person whom even Reginald himself feared.

It was not until the group of four arrived at a restaurant in Summerbank and took their seats that Sophie asked, “Why are you guys here?”

“I missed you. That’s why I came.” Tristan had no other reason. All he wanted was to see her sooner.

“Oh.”

“Uncle Tristan, can you hold back a little? Where did your cold front go?” asked Ysabelle.

No wonder Sophie doesn’t find him aloof.

“Wow. Mr. Tristan, I didn’t know you were such a romantic person,” commented Felix, rubbing his arms as if to prove his point.

Tristan immediately shot them a look.

How dare these third wheels speak nonsense here?

Even so, his glare did not scare Felix and Ysabelle. They were, after all, just joking.

Soon, the four of them ordered their food and patiently waited for them to arrive.

“Felix, I need you to look for people who can replace the competition’s organizing team,” instructed Tristan.

He was not joking about getting them changed.

How dare they bully Sophie? Were they planning to keep up with that if I didn’t turn up?

“Got it,” answered Felix.

Chanaea was a country rich with talents.

Besides, with Lombard Group backing the country, it would not be a problem to find a few physics professors.

“You’re making the right decision. These people were blatantly bullying her and weren’t rigorous in academics at all. They basically accused Sophie of cheating just because Professor Sykes is Mavis’ father,” continued Felix.

No one’s backer is as powerful as Sophie’s. Those people were total snobs.

“There’s no need for all that trouble,” Sophie finally said. Though the organizing team was rather disappointing, she did not think her friends needed to go through all that trouble for her.

“Don’t worry, Sophie. It’s no trouble at all. We’re from the same industry. We can’t let anyone get bullied for no reason. They have to pay the price for bullying you,” assured Tristan.

Similarly, Felix had already viewed Sophie as one of them.

Hence, no one was allowed to bully her.

“Exactly! Don’t worry. I won’t let your bullies live a peaceful life,” promised Felix.

“All right, then.” That was all Sophie managed.

If that’s the case, I’d better not say anything.

Once they returned from Summerbank, Sophie and Ysabelle started their final semester of senior year. Naturally, weekly and monthly exams started flooding in.

Thus, Sophie and Ysabelle had been working hard ever since they returned from Summerbank.

Tristan, too, got busy making preparations for Sophie’s birthday after returning from the trip.

It was Sophie’s first birthday since they got to know each other.

Hence, he regarded it with great importance.

Meanwhile, Felix and Charles shook their heads in exasperation as they watched Tristan busying himself with the preparations.

“Mr. Tristan, it’s just a birthday. Do you really have to put in so much effort? How long have you been preparing this?”

“It’s Sophie’s coming-of-age ceremony.”

“Coming-of-age ceremony?”

“Oh… So, that’s the main point.”

“So, what are you planning to do on that day, Mr. Tristan?” one of them asked. After all, Sophie could do whatever she wanted once she was an adult.
