Chapter 969 What Are Principles

Lily sneered when she saw Sophie’s name in the list of participants.

Heh! She really doesn’t know her place! Does she truly think that Fandar is someplace she can play

around? How hilarious!

Naturally, Sophie took notice of the scornful smirk on Lily’s face.

God, this woman is downright repulsive! Look how she’s abusing others. I reckon that all these young

girls are still virgins. Yet, these big shots can take them home and do whatever they want to them if

they so wished it!

She detested the latter to the core for ruining innocent girls.

All of a sudden, their gazes collided. At once, sparks flew.

Even Bertram could sense the animosity between the two women.

“You must be more careful upon going back today, Ms. Tanner. There’s no saying what Lily might do.”

Jetroinian women are crazy sometimes, especially those like Lily.

“Do you think I’d be afraid of her? Just wait and see! I’ll undoubtedly teach her a lesson and put her in

her place!”

The competition was scheduled for two days later. Hence, everyone still had time to get ready. In

Sophie’s opinion, no preparations were required. They could have just kicked off the competition right

away.

When they took their leave at night, Lily saw them out personally.

“How about a meal together tomorrow, Mr. Tristan?” She blatantly flirted with Tristan. Regretfully, her

countenance was wholly nauseating.

A layer of frost blanketed Tristan’s eyes.

“I’m very busy these few days, so I’ve got no time for that, Ms. Sanders. I’ll treat you to a meal after the

competition.”

“What are you so busy with? Actually, I really didn’t want to say this, but a beauty like Ms. Tanner truly

isn’t suited to participate in such a competition. You know how rough other people are. If Ms. Tanner

were to join this competition and end up injured, you’d be heartbroken.”

At the end of the day. Lily felt that Sophie must be as weak as a baby.

“Thank you for the concern, Ms. Sanders, but I don’t need it.” Sophie deliberately took Tristan’s arm.

“Let’s go home. I’m tired.”

“Okay.”

Seeing Tristan being all gentle and considerate toward Sophie yet cold and indifferent toward her, Lily

clenched her hands tightly.

“Please don’t take offense at me, Ms. Tanner. I’m just the kind of person who’s straightforward, and I

only said that for your good. After all, injuries are inevitable in a real fight.”

“Yeah, thank you for the concern.” Not in the mood to continue yakking with Lily, Sophie strode off,

dragging Tristan along.

“This Sophie person is really arrogant, Ms. Sanders! Who does she think she is? She merely has some

beauty. What’s so great about her?”

“Exactly, Ms. Sanders! You must teach her a good lesson during the competition and put her in her

place.” Lily’s subordinates immediately flattered her upon glimpsing the look on her face.

“Yeah, I’ll certainly do that. I will have Tristan Lombard for sure!” From the very second Lily laid eyes on

Tristan, she knew that she had irrevocably fallen for the man.

Verily, she was determined to bag him.

Meanwhile, Bertram swung open the car door and held it open for Tristan and Sophie.

Only when they had all settled into the car did he start, “I’ve told you Lily is a wanton, and sure enough,

I’ve been proven right! Look at her gaze when she stared at Mr. Tristan! There was such hunger that

she resembled a wolf regarding its prey, wanting nothing more than to devour him!”

“Indeed, she’s quite the wanton. It was my first time seeing such a shameless woman!” Sophie was not

the type of person who liked to speak ill of others behind their backs, but Lily had irked her to no end.

“I’m no prey!” Tristan protested. How could I possibly allow a wolf to devour me?

“Oh yes, shall we make plans for the competition two days later? When all’s said and done, it’s a

crucial matter.” Bertram was still worried.

After all, every single person who would be participating in the competition was a big shot.

It was wise to determine the leader with such a method, avoiding in-fighting and bloodshed. That was

beneficial to everyone.

“Don’t worry. I’ll train with her these two days,” Tristan voiced. Sophie’s capabilities are remarkable in

the first place. Coupled with my guidance, there wouldn’t be any problems at all.

“Okay, I can rest assured, then. With Mr. Tristan and Ms. Tanner teaming up, there’s no way we’d ever

lose the competition!

Upon returning to the base, Bertram started making arrangements for those under his command.

Sophie and Tristan, on the other hand, went to visit Felix.

“What? Lily Sanders really took a fancy to Uncle Tristan?” Utter regret swamped Ysabelle after she

learned about everything that transpired during the banquet. Gah! I should’ve tagged along for a front-

row seat to things!

“Yeah.” Even then, the look in Lily’s eyes remained vivid in Sophie’s mind, haunting her like a

nightmare.

“What a pity! I should’ve tagged along for a look!” I’ve never seen the female version of a pervert.

Ysabelle continued, “You’re really going to participate in that leadership competition, Sophie? “Felix

said all those big shots are powerful. Can she truly defeat them when she’s a girl?

“I’ve decided to take up the gauntlet personally to teach Lily a lesson,” said Sophie, her tone laced with

determination. I’d have to be dead not to teach her a lesson when she dared to have designs on my

man and even stared at him with such a loathsome look in her eyes!

“Yes, you’re right. She needs to be taught a lesson. Can I go over for a look when you compete? I’m all

too curious about her.”

She’s simply legendary!

“It depends on Felix. Go ahead if he allows it.” Sophie had no objections. She would be competing that

day, so she would not have time to bother about Ysabelle.

The next day, Tristan woke Sophie up. At the sight of the man by the bed, Sophie was rendered

speechless.

“What is it? Why did you wake me at the crack of dawn?” Truly, she could not fathom it. To train.”

She’s skilled at combat, but she still needs to train. Many people are in the competition. There’s no

telling the tricks they might play.

“But I don’t want to train. I really don’t feel like it.” Sophie felt that she could handle all those situations

presently.

It was Tristan’s first time seeing her so lazy, and he found it very much novel.

“Okay, then. Forget it since you don’t want to train.” He had no principles before her, giving nary a care

as long as she was happy.

In the meantime, Bertram waited outside for the couple to turn up for training.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of them both even after he had waited for the whole morning.

“Didn’t you say that Mr. Tristan and Ms. Tanner will be coming over for training, Bert?”

Everyone had been looking forward to it the entire morning, but the couple was nowhere in sight.

Bertram scratched his head. Didn’t we agree to train today? Mr. Tristan isn’t a person who’d go back on

his word.

Just then, Tristan and Sophie appeared.

“Didn’t you say you were going to train this morning, Mr. Tristan?” Bertram asked, mustering his

courage.

“My wife said she didn’t want to train, so we skipped training.”
