Anything For Her

Chapter 532

The auction was brought to a mini climax by the battle between the two women.

The tension in the air was palpable, and everyone was excited to see who would finally get to own the ruby.

Jennifer raised her paddle again.

The duo went back and forth, and neither of them was willing to relent.

“Ms. Tanner, it seems that you are really fond of it.” Jennifer did not expect Sophie to keep raising the bid. Does she

really have that much money? “But are you sure you can afford it? You would probably need Mr. Tristan to pay for it

in the end!”

I'm sure the reason she dares to keep raising the bid is that she knows she has Mr. Tristan's support!

Sophie cocked her brows.

“Ms. Whitley, are you inferring that I am a kept woman?”

Kept woman?

Is that the female equivalent of a kept man?

“Well, you can think of it that way.”

“You sounded certain that I won't be able to afford the ruby. But I'm sorry to disappoint you. Not only do I have the

money to buy this ruby, but I can also afford to buy your entire Whitley family!”

Sophie had always kept a low profile.

However, Jennifer was really getting on her nerves.

“Gosh! What a brazen young lady! Does she even know anything about the Whitley family?”

“Exactly! Even Old Mr. Lombard wants an ally like the Whitley family. How dare she make such a claim?”

“She thinks she can do anything she wants just because Mr. Tristan is interested in her. What a joke!”

Jennifer's expression turned grim.

Is she challenging me in front of so many people?

“Mr. Tristan, you—”

“As long as you like, I can buy you the Whitley family too.” Tristan showed his unconditional support for Sophie.

Jennifer was rendered speechless when she heard that.

“No. If there's anything I want, I will get it myself! There's no need for you to help me.” Sophie passed her card to

one of the staff at the auction and said, “I guess this ruby belongs to me now.”

The staff glanced at Jennifer, unsure if the woman wanted to raise the bid.

Jennifer shook her head.

At its current price, the ruby was already overvalued. Jennifer still had some rationality left in her.

The staff processed the payment on the spot. When that was done, he handed Sophie's card back to her and

passed her the ruby. After keeping her card, Sophie handed the ruby to Ysabelle.

Touched by her friend's gesture, Ysabelle said, “Sophie, what do I do? I really want to marry you!”

She's practically my dream boyfriend!

Tristan shot Ysabelle a look. “She's mine!”

Ysabelle stuck out her tongue cheekily in response.

The actual climax of the event happened when Tristan bid an emerald ornament for Sophie, which she had wanted

as a gift for her grandfather.

The old man was a collector of such items.

Sophie had wanted to bid for it herself; however, Tristan would not let her.

“You've given Ysabelle a ruby. Let me get you this.” The starting prices of the auction items would get higher toward

the end of the auction.

The final bid price of the emerald ornament was one hundred million.

Everyone in the audience had complicated looks in their eyes when they saw Tristan give the emerald ornament to

Sophie.

Looks like Mr. Tristan is very serious about this girl!

Jennifer turned pale as she watched the man she was in love with pampering another woman.

She had thought that Winter was just too weak.

However, after witnessing it personally, she finally understood how it felt to be so jealous that she almost lost her

mind.

She was dying to strangle Sophie.

At the end of the auction, both Sophie and Ysabelle walked out of the auction hall feeling satisfied. When they were

about to leave, they noticed Jennifer following behind them.

“Ms. Whitley, is there anything we can help you with?” Tristan asked.

Jennifer wanted to have a chat with the man, but at that moment, she really did not know what to say.

“No.”

There was nothing she could do but watch them leave.

“Jennifer, forget it! Given your status, you can get any man you want. Why do you insist on having Mr. Tristan?”

“Yeah! You've seen it for yourself earlier. Mr. Tristan is head over heels in love with Sophie. I think it's better that we

stay away from that young lady!”

Jennifer bit her lower lip so hard that she could taste her own blood.

“It's been ten years. I've loved him for ten years! How can I give up on him so easily? That's impossible! If I could do

that, I would have already done it a long time back and wouldn't have waited until now.”

“What do you intend to do, then? Sophie doesn't appear to be a person to be trifled with!” Not only did she dare to

vie against Jennifer for the ruby, but she could also pay for it on her own. It was clear that Sophie wasn't just an

ordinary person.

She's practically my dream boyfriend!

Tristan shot Ysabelle a look. “She's mine!”

“I will find a way. Even if they're married, it's still possible for them to get a divorce! Besides, Old Mr. Lombard

doesn't even like her!”

Otherwise, the current circumstances wouldn't have been the way it is.

Right after Tristan sent Sophie back to the condominium, he received a call from William, who flew into a rage once

the call connected.

The old man was aware of what had happened at the auction.

“Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?”

Tristan put down his phone and waited for his father to finish venting.

He only picked up his phone again after William was done.

“Are you done? I never wanted to go on a blind date. I've already told you that Sophie is the only woman I love and

will ever love, but you still went ahead to make arrangements for that. It's none of my business that things turned

out this way.”

“Y-You! I'm your father! Are you not going to listen to me anymore?”

“When have I ever listened to you?” Even since he was young, Tristan had always had a mind of his own and knew

what he wanted. No one could stop him.

His father should have already known that by now.

“I don't care. You are the one at fault, so go and apologize to the Whitley family. I don't want this incident to cause a

rift between our families.” William was the one who had proposed the matchmaking session and not the Whitley

family.

“I'm sorry. Is this a joke? Have you ever seen me apologizing to anyone? Besides, Ms. Whitley was extremely rude

to Sophie. I've already tried my best to be polite.” No one is allowed to bully my woman!

“Tristan! I'm sure you don't want anything bad to happen to Sophie, right?” William warned.

“Are you threatening me because of an outsider now? No one is allowed to touch Sophie. Anyone who tries to lay a

finger on her will be declaring war against me.” His father would not be an exception.

When William heard that, his temper sparked. He could hardly believe that his son had said that to him.

“Dad, you should know my temper well, so please don't try to cross my boundaries.”

Tristan hung up after saying that.

He would not allow anyone to threaten him with Sophie, including his father.

Burning with anger, William smashed a vase on the ground, shattering it to pieces.

He could not remember the last time he had felt so angry.
