Chapter 177 Let Us Go At It Again
Whitlea took out a cigarette from the cigarette box. At once, Franky snagged a lighter and lit the
cigarette for her.âSince Sophie is so stubborn, bring a few men over to put the fear of God into her.â
Whitlea's father was part of the underworld, so she emanated an ominous aura as well.âSure! Don't
worry, Mdm. Dixon. I'll definitely teach her a lesson so that she'll never dare to appear before Mr.
Dixon again!âFranky immediately seized that opportunity. As long as I yank Andy down, the position
of principal for Jipsdale Premier High will be mine!For him to become the principal of Jipsdale
Premier High, he would undoubtedly require Whitlea's help.As such, he had been monitoring
Bailey's every move at school, just to get close to the woman.âGo!â Whitlea's expectations toward
Bailey had always been sky-high, and he had really disappointed her recently.After the self-study
session at night, Sophie and Ysabelle exited the classroom together. Ysabelle had been downcast
these days, for her father had been restricting her too much.âSoph, how I wish I could go to a place
where no one could find me! Then, I'll be able to do whatever I like."l just want to sing. It's not like I
want to do something bad. Why is Dad so adamantly opposed to it?"If you really want to be a
singer, Ysabelle, stick to your guns. Your dream will only come true if you persist."Ysabelle stared at
her.âl truly envy you, Soph. I'm jealous that you can do whatever you please.â Perhaps it was
because she had glimpsed such insouciance in Sophie's eyes back then that she had done
everything possible to befriend her."Ysabelle, you can become the best singer in the world. Oh yes,
The Wheelers is having a concert tomorrow. I'll bring you there!"The Wheelers was all the rage
presently, so every single concert by the band was incendiary.As long as it was for a concert by The
Wheelers, it was difficult to even obtain a ticket."How I wish! I tried to get a ticket last night, but I
failed to buy any."Ysabelle was entirely crestfallen. The Wheelers is really too popular. The main
vocalist, Mark, is even renowned across Chanaea. He's the dream man of many girls!âI've got
tickets.â Mark had someone send tickets to Sophie a week ago, but she hadn't planned on going
back then.Since Ysabelle had been depressed recently, she decided to accompany her to the
concert."Really?â Ysabelle seemed to have come to life the instant she heard that Sophie had tickets.
After all, she idolized The Wheelers.âYup!âSure enough, sheâs young and guileless that she's so
easily appeased!By the time they reached the school gates, the car belonging to the Lombard family
was already idling there. Seeing that the driver was already waiting for her, Ysabelle couldn't help
heaving a sigh.However, her good mood rebounded at the thought that she would be attending
The Wheelersâ concert tomorrow night.âSoph, have my uncle pick me up tomorrow night, okay?
Otherwise, it's very likely that I won't be able to get out of the house.â She hankered for a
revolution, but it was beyond her capabilities. At that, Sophie chuckled.âOkay! Don't worry. I'll have
your uncle pick you up.âBut... will Tristan be willing to attend such a concert with us?âAll right. I'm
going home, then! Go back and rest earlier as well!"After getting into the car, Ysabelle even stuck
her hand out and waved at Sophie.Subsequently, Sophie headed back to Wisteria Apartments. No
sooner had she taken a few steps than she noticed someone tailing her. Verily, she was sick of such
tricks.Can't they be more innovative? They only tail me every single time, yet they canât do anything
to me.She stopped short and leaned back against the wall, waiting for those people following her to
make an appearance.Sure enough, the few men tailing her rushed out upon seeing that she wasn't
moving anymore. It was a few burly men with petrifying tattoos on their arms.Taking out a strip of
chewing gum, Sophie ripped the wrapper off and popped it into her mouth. It's been a long time
since I've last gotten some exercise. They came at just the perfect time!"Do you know who we are,
girly?âSophie hadn't even an iota of interest in engaging in such dumb conversation, for it wasn't
the least bit significant.âls something the matter?â Sophie asked bluntly. âIf you want to fight, just
come at me together.âDon't they find it boring to play a such silly game when they're all strong and
strapping men?âHow dare you?"Huh? This script is wholly different from what we imagined.Before
Sophie had the chance to make her move, Bailey appeared beside her and shielded her behind
him.âWho ordered the lot of you to come here? I've said that no one is allowed to hurt her.â Bailey
had known that his mother would never let Sophie off the hook.He had followed her as well when
he saw her leaving with Ysabelle after the self-study session at night. Never had he expected to
witness such a scene for real."Mr. Dixon..."At the sight of him, the few burly men grew somewhat
flustered. They all knew his temperament, but it was Whitleaâs orders. For that reason, they couldn't
do anything about it either.âMr. Dixon, Ms. Whitlea is only doing this for your own good. Please
don't make things difficult for us and go home quickly instead! We promise we aren't going to hurt
her. We merely want to scare her for a bit."Scare her?"Well, the lot of you indeed look rather
scary.â If a kid were to behold their countenances, he would probably burst into tears in fright."How
dare you?â Argh! Why are her remarks all so irritating? No matter what, we all have normal facial
features. How could she make personal attacks on us? This is too much! She's really going too
farlâLook, Mr. Dixon! We aren't the ones who want to pick on her. It's the other way round!"How can
there be such a girl? We all look like tough nuts at a single glance, okay? Yet, she dared claim that
we are lacking in the looks department!ignoring them, Bailey urged Sophie, âGo home first,
Sophie!âIt's very late, so she should go home and rest.Sophie cast a glance at the few men, but she
wasn't certain whether he could handle them."You don't have to bother about me, Bailey.â Really,
there's no need for him to strain his relationship with Whitlea because of me. Ultimately, she's still
his mother.Bailey shook his head.âI'm to be blamed for this incident. How can I sit idly by and do
nothing? No matter what, I must interfere in this!"âMr. Dixon, you'll definitely be hauled over the
coals when you go home if you do so.â Is he still not familiar with Ms. Whitlea's temperament? He'll
only suffer if he continues to persist.âIn that case, pardon me for my actions!â Sophie pulled the
hood of her sweater over her head before she pushed Bailey away. If I beat them all up, Whitlea
won't blame him anymore, will she?âSophie!â Panic swamped Bailey. Crap! She has no idea about
their line of work in the past! They're all brutal and vicious!To his surprise, Sophie wasn't the least bit
inferior to them.They were ruthless when they attacked her, but she was even more merciless.They
were terrifying, but she was even more horrifying than them.Sophie stacked them all together. Then
she casually dusted her hands.âIt's been a long time since I've last had such a workout. Get up. Let's
go at it again!â
