Chapter 58 Fake Invitation
Since someone was trying to go against Wings of Light, they had to deal with the situation
carefully.âOkay. I'll go over once I have the time,â Sophie answered. Wings of Light was an
organization Sophie had formed three years prior. When she first established it, she had written the
program herself to strengthen the firewall.Ever since then, countless top hackers worldwide had
tried to breach Wings of Light's firewall because they wanted to know the organization's
secrets.However, no matter how many times they tried, no one had succeeded in doing so
yet. Therefore, Sophie was very confident in the programming sequence she had written. After being
heavily involved for a while, Sophie found Butterfly to take over her place as the leader of Wings of
Light. After that, she would only involve herself occasionally.âBy the way, have you been close with
Tristan recently?â Upon hearing that Sophie would go over, Butterfly breathed a sigh of relief and
went on to gossip. âPhantom, I know you like the thrill, but Tristan isn't someone to mess with. I'm
worried about your safety.â Due to Sophie's tender age, the other members were quite protective of
her.â know.â In fact, Sophie had heard all about Tristan. âDonât worry. I can take care of myself. I'm
not afraid of Tristan."Throughout the eighteen years of her life, Sophie had never been scared of
anyone.âOh, right! When Tristan was in Horington, a dozen mercenaries tried to kill him. I need you
to help me find out who those people were,â Sophie uttered.âBut there are a lot of people who want
Tristan dead, no?"Needless to say, a lot of people wanted Tristan dead because Lombard Group's
existence posed a lot of problems for the others financially.âPhantom... Don't fall for Tristanâs good
looks, okay? He's not right for you,â Butterfly warned. Phantom can get whatever she wants in life.
She doesnât need to get involved with Tristan.âYou're overthinking it,â Sophie answered.âAm 1? Am I
really overthinking it? I do wish that's the case, then."All right, that's enough. Find out about the
mercenaries and get back to me."âOkay. I'll be as quick as possible.âNothing in the world could hide
from Wings of Light.âIf that's all, I'm going to hang up now.""Remember to come over to the
headquarters,â Butterfly reminded before hanging up. What a tough life I'm living! Ever since I took
over Wings of Light from Phantom, I've been busting my chops to run it. Am I the most pitiful
person on earth or what?After Sophie hung up the call, she started gaming on her phone. Tristan
walked in and saw what she was doing. He then approached her and sat next to her to watch her
play.Sophie only exited the game after she was done.âIt's about time. Let's go,â Tristan said.âMr.
Tristan, is it okay if I don't stick together with you?â The people who were attending the party were
from the upper-class social circle. If she were to show up with Tristan, they would garner too much
attention, and she preferred to keep a low profile."What's wrong? Do you not like being with me?â
Tristanâs mood suddenly dampened.âWell, I don't like the attention, soâ""You're a star. You'll attract
attention wherever you go.âSophie was rendered speechless.âFine. Since you don't want to be with
me, do as you please then,â Tristan added.Sophie didn't say anything in response. Is Mr. Tristan
throwing a tantrumzindeed, Tristan wasn't happy. He had already shown her so much, and yet, she
didnât even want to be seen together with him in public.Sophie wasn't experienced in coaxing
others. Hence, she kept silent as well when Tristan was giving her the cold shoulder.Ysabelle's
birthday party was held on Diamond Cruise.By six-thirty in the evening, a lot of the guests were
already seen boarding the cruise ship with their invitation cards in their hands.There were a bunch
of reporters at the dock, and they were all trying to board the cruise ship because the public was
very curious about the Lombard family. However, the security on the cruise ship was strict, and there
was no way they could get on the ship.As for those who had boarded, their phones were all
confiscated. In order to safeguard the Lombard familyâs privacy, they couldn't risk any photos
getting leaked.Just then, a black Mercedes-Benz arrived at the dock, and Willow was seen getting
out of it. Dressed in a yellow gown, she had her hair tied up, and she was holding a silver color
purse.She had heard about Diamond Cruise in the past, but that was the first time she saw the ship
with her own eyes. Therefore, she was filled with excitement.Meanwhile, the cruise ship was packed
with all the prominent families in Chanaea.Considering how incomparable the Tanner family was
with the other prominent families, she never had the chance to get into their social circle. Finally, I'm
going to get close to these people today!The driver opened the car door for Louisa, and she was
seen wearing an exquisite pink gown and matching high heels. Her hair was also styled the same
way as Willow's.She walked toward Willow excitedly because that was going to be her first time
boarding Diamond Cruise as well.âLet's go, Willow! I'll bring you in.â Louisa couldn't wait to get
inside the cruise ship. Since the party is attended by youngsters, this is the perfect chance to find a
date!ln truth, the Yarborough family was nothing compared to the other families there.âLouisa, I
only have the chance to attend such a party because of you."At the same time, she felt like a
superstar because of the number of reporters there taking photos of her, and she was so caught up
in the moment that she had forgotten who she was."Willow, you're my best friend. Considering how
good of an opportunity this could be, it's only natural that I'm bringing you with me.â Willow was
the only person whom Louisa could get a sense of superiority from.Obviously, Willow was well
aware of that. However, she could only get opportunities as such when she was with Louisa.Hence,
she didn't mind Louisa finding a sense of superiority over her.Louisa gave the security guards her
invitation card, and they scanned it on their system.The screen showed: Access denied.The security
guards tried again, and the same result was shown."Miss, I'm sorry, but you have a fake invitation
card. You're not getting on the cruise ship.â"What? You must've gotten it wrong. How is it possible
that my invitation card is fake?â Louisa was in disbelief.âMiss, I'm sorry. It's a fake invitation
card.â That's impossible!â Louisa was enraged. âDo you know who I am? There's no way my family
has gotten a fake invitation card.ââWell, I'm sorry. I don't know who you are, and I donât care. The
one thing I'm certain of is that you're not getting on.""You...â Louisa was furious. âI'm not going to
waste my breath on you. I'm Ms. Lombardâs best friend, and I'm here to celebrate her birthday. No
matter what, I'm getting onto the cruise ship today.â"When Louisa tried to drag Willow onto the
cruise ship, the security guards stepped forward and stopped them.âPlease leave. Otherwise, don't
blame us for taking extreme measures."Louisa thought they were just bluffing, so she tried to push
her way through. However, the security guards held them up and brought them away from the
cruise ship.âLouisa, what's going on? Didn't Mr. Yarborough give you that invitation card?â Willow
asked. This is so embarrassing. The reporters are taking photos of us.âWait. I'm calling my dad to
find out what's going on. I bet it's just a mistake on their end. It cant be fake!"Right then, a taxi
arrived at the dock. Sophie pushed the door open and exited the car. The moment she got out of
the car, the reporters started taking photos of her frantically and making comments.âThat young girl
in the black dress is stunning! Who is she?"âIndeed! With her demeanor, she's surely an
aristocrat.ââShe's even more graceful than the celebrities!â
