Pursuing Her

Chapter 577

“It's you!”

Nicholas lifted his head as he recalled who the woman was with a sinister smile on his lips.

The smile added a mysterious allure to his handsome features.

“It seems that you have yet to learn your lesson. You must hate Sophie so much that you plotted to hurt her.” Nicholas didn't mince words.

“Of course I hate her. Do you like Tristan?” Why would I like my rival in love? I'm not stupid.

Nicholas got up from the swivel chair to choke her by the neck.

“You aren't worthy of working with me!”

He applied so much pressure on Jennifer's neck that she couldn't breathe at all.

“I don't mind killing you if you already have a death wish! Remember, never plot against Sophie. Haven't you checked my background? You should know who I am.”

Nobody has the right to harm Sophie. I wouldn't even permit myself to do that, let alone this damned woman.

By that point, Jennifer couldn't even utter a single word. She felt as if she was about to die as she tried to pry the man's arm off her neck.

Given his enormous strength, she couldn't remove his arm. The other people around them were visibly shaken by what they saw.

While a few of them tried to approach Nicholas, the men in black blocked their way, preventing them from advancing any further.

As things went, they were about to witness a murder when Alex intervened in time.

“We're in Jipsdale, Mr. Nicholas. It wouldn't be the most prudent to be involved in a murder.” He saw no problem killing Jennifer, but he figured that doing that then and there would be a hassle.

A savage smile tugged on Nicholas' lips, making people shudder in fear.

In the next instant, he released Jennifer.

“Be gone! Roll your way out of here! Listen well! Roll out! Otherwise, things won't end with a mere car crash!”

Nicholas retrieved a gun from his person.

Everyone in the bar was stunned upon laying eyes on the gun. None dared make a sound, terrified that the man might vent his anger on them.

Jennifer's whole body went limp after having lost all strength, so she collapsed on the floor and panted heavily the moment Nicholas released her.

She wouldn't have realized how nice it was to be able to just breathe if she hadn't been suffocated.

Yet, Nicholas dropped the bomb before she snapped back to her senses.

It was humiliating for her to roll out of the bar in everyone's presence, but when she saw the sinister look in Nicholas' eyes, she knew she might lose her life if she didn't.

She abhorred Sophie even more.

This is all because of Sophie. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have gone through all that I had gone through today.

With that, the daughter of the prestigious Whitley family rolled out slowly.

Everyone in the bar gawked at how easily she relented.

The fact that the prideful Jennifer Whitley ended up like that was a huge disappointment to them.

“Let's go back, Mr. Nicholas.” They would have a rough time if Tristan found out that they were in Jipsdale, seeing that Nicholas had made a huge ruckus.

Nicholas went outside, his mood improved tremendously after he dealt with the arrogant woman.

All the while, Jennifer hid in a corner.

Now, she would tremble at the sight of Nicholas.

He's a demon. He fancies Sophie, so he will never give up on her given his personality.

No matter what would happen between them, she wanted Sophie to die a gruesome death. It would be best if someone got rid of Sophie's remains after that.

Sophie arrived at the lecture hall early in the morning. Simon was already waiting there, and he approached her merrily upon noticing her.

“I bet you haven't had breakfast, Sophie. Have some of this that I bought for you!”

He had driven for more than half an hour to The Crown to buy her breakfast.

Ever since Simon had helped Sophie, she had become more tolerant of him.

“I already had breakfast. Have you had yours, Sandra?” Sophie asked Sandra, who was sitting next to her.

“Not yet! I came too early this morning, so I have yet to have breakfast!”

Sophie pushed the food that Simon offered her to Sandra.

Simon didn't seem to mind that.

“Sophie, can I ask you something about dissection? It has been troubling me for some time.” Knowing how skilled Sophie was, he figured that getting some tips from her during lessons would be of tremendous help to his future.

“Sure.”

Sophie had gotten used to that.

“Stick close to Sandra. Ask her if you have any questions and only come to me if you still don't understand.”

Sophie didn't have much time, but she was willing to make some for the two of them.

“Okay. Thank you, Sophie.” Simon was happy. He had always known that he wasn't good at studying, which wasn't something that concerned him before that.

After all, his father was the hospital director, so he would definitely be inheriting the position.

However, he figured after meeting Sophie that he should still study hard, or else he might ruin the hospital when it was handed over to him.

He wouldn't allow that to happen to him, so he had made up his mind to study hard.

Greta had arrived too. She felt uncomfortable upon noticing how nice Simon was to Sophie.

Simon was her ideal choice in terms of looks and background, which was the reason she spent so much time on him.

However, Sophie had beaten her to it and she was unhappy about that. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Greta was pretty, and girls from her class were envious of her too.

“Greta, look at Simon. He must've fallen for Sophie.” The girl who spoke was happy to see Greta's dilemma, for the boy she fancied had taken a liking to Greta instead of her.

Greta clenched her fists upon hearing that.

“Is that so?” She didn't say anything else and left the lecture hall directly. The air in there felt suffocating.

Even though she had liked Simon for a long time, he had not even spared a glance at her.

But look at Sophie! He's so loyal to her even though she has done nothing to deserve that!

Sandra noticed Greta leaving and also heard what the other girl said, so she reminded Simon, “You can stick with us, but you better deal with the admirers around you and don't get Sophie into any trouble. She hates drama.”

Sandra knew Sophie's personality well after spending so much time with her.

“Geez, I don't know what to do anymore! She never gives up even though I've made it clear that I don't like her!”

“I feel you!” Sophie could sympathize with how he felt.
