Chapter 229 Choose Any High School In Jipsdale
“Sure, no problem! I’ll join you guys. We can play whatever you want!” Sophie had heard Angie had been having a tough time since the latter transferred schools. However, I never imagined she’d become like this. Seeing her this way makes me so disappointed.
One of the youths grabbed Angie by her hair and jerked her toward him. Then, he said tauntingly, “Oh, is that so? But we don’t want to let her go. What’s the matter? Is this b*tch your friend?”
Angie had a look of despair on her face after getting grabbed by her hair, thinking she must cut a pathetic sight.
Meanwhile, Sophie had no intention of wasting time beating around the bush.
“All right. Let’s have some fun.”
With that, she kicked the youth in front of her right in his abdomen, knocking him to the ground at once. Then, she sent the other young lad flying through the air with a roundhouse kick.
When the youth holding onto Angie saw how skilled Sophie was, he quickly let go of Angie’s hair.
“Who are you? Do you have any idea who we are?”
Sophie rolled her eyes at him.
“I’ve no interest in engaging in such a stupid conversation. You only need to know who I am—Sophie Tanner from Jipsdale Premier High. If you’re unwilling to accept defeat, I’m ready for another round anytime.”
Then, Sophie pulled Angie over with one swift motion.
That action sent a shiver down Angie’s spine. With the way Sophie is acting, she’s simply too captivating! Totally boyfriend material!
“Sophie Tanner from Jipsdale Premier High, is it? Right. Just you wait. We’ll make you pay for this!” After saying that, the youths tossed in a few curses before leaving.
“Raving lunatics!” Sophie yelled back at them.
Angie dared not look at Sophie.
After all, Sophie didn’t seem to have done anything wrong in this entire incident. She has only been a victim the whole time.
After a long time, Angie finally found her voice. “I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize to me because you’re the more pitiful one now,” Sophie replied bluntly.
“Whatever it is, I owe you an apology for what went on with the forum. As for what happened today, I have to thank you.”
Things wouldn’t have gotten to this point if I hadn’t lost my rationality. At the end of the day, I deserve this.
“Angie, why don’t you return to Jipsdale Premier High?”
Angie was silent.
Can I still go back? And even if I do, how will I face the other students?
“You have a solid foundation, and you’ll surely get into a good university if you switch to a different school.”
Sophie had only stepped in because she knew Angie was not so bad that she was beyond saving, and the latter was well aware of that as well.
“Which school would be willing to accept me now? In all honesty, I truly envy you. Everyone was gossiping about you when you first joined Jipsdale Premier High, yet you never let it get to you. But I can’t do that. If not for my mother, I’d definitely have taken my own life already.”
“If you don’t want to go to Jipsdale Premier High, there are other schools. Take a look and see which one you want to attend. All you have to do is tell me, and I’ll make it happen.” Sophie took Angie’s phone and saved her number on it. Then, she added, “Any school is fine.”
Angie stared at her in disbelief.
She’s willing to help me?
Taking out a piece of gum, Sophie popped it into her mouth.
“You don’t have to look so shocked. As long as it’s within Jipsdale, any school is fine.” Sophie was not exaggerating as she genuinely did have such capabilities.
“Sophie… I…” Never in Angie’s wildest dreams did she ever imagine that the person who would end up lending her a helping hand would be the very person she had looked down on in the beginning. Who would’ve guessed?
“Let’s go back.”
“Could you lend me some money?” Angie asked. The youths just now had taken her money, so she was pretty much penniless at that moment.
Sophie gazed at her wordlessly.
Who still uses cash? Isn’t everyone already going cashless?
“Wait here for me.”
Then, Sophie walked toward Tristan.
“What’s the matter?” he asked. Isn’t everything settled already?
“Give me a hundred in cash.”
Tristan was silent for a moment.
There was no way someone like him carried cash around with him. Nonetheless, since she had asked for it, he led her to a nearby corner shop where he swiped a hundred on his card in exchange for cash, then handed it to her.
“Why didn’t I think of that!” Sophie exclaimed, feeling rather foolish as she held the money in her hands.
“Here you go.”
She handed the money to Angie, then turned and left. As the latter clutched the bills in her hand, she nearly burst into tears.
Honestly, I regret it so much. I deeply regret how I treated Sophie before this. She doesn’t look the least bit like someone who would meddle in other people’s affairs. But this time around, she has really helped me out.
After Sophie walked up to Tristan, he opened the car door for her to get into the vehicle.
He never even glanced at Angie, even though she stood there and watched them leave, nor did he ask Sophie any questions.
By the time he drove to Blossom Garden, parked the car, and led Sophie to the private room, Felix and Ysabelle had already brought Sarah there.
Tristan had just opened the door when Sarah immediately said to Sophie, “Come over here and sit next to me.”
Tristan grabbed her hand as she was about to walk over, and she instinctively stopped and looked at him.
“What’s the matter?”
“Sit over here.”
There was only one empty seat next to Sarah. Tristan told Sophie where to sit and settled down next to her, leaving another seat vacant on the other side of Sophie.
Ysabelle was speechless.
What about me? I was the one who got to know Sophie first! How is it that I’m the one who has nowhere to sit now? However, I don’t dare to complain in front of Uncle Tristan and Aunty Sarah. After all, they can get quite savage at times.
“Isn’t it good that you’re sitting with me?” Felix murmured. Everyone is now treating Sophie as the center of attention, even Ysabelle.
“Tell me then. What’s so good about sitting with you?” Ysabelle asked flatly.
He was dumbstruck.
Fine. I humiliated myself, so next time, I’ll never ask anything.
Sophie took a small bottle from the pocket of her backpack and held it out to Sarah, saying, “This is for you. It isn’t anything amazing, but it’ll help you sleep better.”
After learning that Sarah was having trouble sleeping, that matter had been on Sophie’s mind since then. I’ve been bringing this bottle with me everywhere, but alas, I haven’t had the time to give it to Sarah.
Sarah took it from her, calmly accepting the gift.
“Why, thank you,” she said, slipping the bottle into her bag immediately.
Sophie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sarah did not ask any questions. It’s something Arius concocted just for me, and I use it occasionally. However, I don’t want others to know I’m not sleeping well. I brought some for her because I genuinely like her. That’s why I didn’t mind going through the trouble.
“You have to try it. It’s really effective,” said Sophie. Anything Arius gives usually works well. Don’t be deceived by the small bottle. That stuff is priceless at an auction.
“Okay. I’ll give it a try.” Sarah had decided to give herself a new lease on life. She was determined to leave behind her past foolishness, resentments, and obsessions.
