Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 20 Kidnapped

classes in this grade, this class is at the very bottom!”“Well, that’s to be expected, Mrs. Fletcher, given somebody here got a zero,” commented Queenie coldly.At her words, Carrie glared at Sophie. Her eyes became increasingly malicious.“Sophie, you can be a failure all you want, but don’t bring other people with you.”Raising her head, Sophie retorted, “I’ve never disturbed you while you’re teaching, have I, Mrs. Fletcher?”“What do you mean by that? Are you expecting a thank you from me?”“Of course not.”“People like you are useless to society. I don’t even know why you exist in this world.”“Don’t you think you’re too much, Mrs. Fletcher?” uttered Ysabelle, as she could not stand it any longer. “Do people with bad grades deserve to be insulted like this? As a teacher, you’re supposed to have morals.”“You aren’t that good either, Ysabelle. Look at your grade. It’s trash.”Carrie could not control her emotion. She had a fight with her husband at home, and she vented her anger out on her students.Hearing what she said, Ysabelle was enraged. “You—”“If we manage to get good grades, would you apologize?” questioned Sophie icily.“You? Good grades?” An outcast like you?“I hope you’ll apologize to the whole class after the monthly test, Mrs. Fletcher.”“Fine. I don’t expect much. I’ll apologize as long as you pass this subject, but if you don’t, leave the school. Don’t be a drag to everyone else.”Carrie had no faith that Sophie would pass at all.Even so, Sophie ignored her. I can’t believe there’s such a teacher in high school.After the class, Ysabelle worriedly ran to Sophie and sat beside her.“Soph, you were so impulsive. Physics is tough.” Although she was serious about her studies, physics was just too difficult a subject. Moreover, Sophie had never paid attention in class before, so how could she pass?“Don’t worry about that.”After the incident, Sophie listened to the lectures mindlessly, but at least she never dozed off.“Does Sophie think she’s a genius or something? How would a failure like her become a top student?”“She’s overestimating herself. It’s only a matter of time till it backfires on her.”“Yeah, and she even provoked Carrie. She’s doomed.”Everyone in the class disliked Carrie, for she was too emotional—she was always in a bad mood with the class for no reason at all.However, they also scorned Sophie, although she never did anything to them. It was just that she was too beautiful for their liking.When it was half-past six, Ysabelle returned to the school to self-study. Arriving at the school entrance, she spotted the pale Queenie crouching there.Initially, Ysabelle wanted to ignore her, but Queenie seemed to be in pain, so she retreated.“Are you all right, Queenie?”“My tummy hurts, Ysabelle. Please take me to the hospital.”Seeing the state Queenie was in, Ysabelle helped her.As she did not make an appearance in the class until seven o’clock, Sophie went out and dialed her number.“Where are you, Ysabelle? Why aren’t you here yet?”“Hello, Sophie. It’s me. If you want nothing to happen to Ysabelle, come over here immediately.”Upon hearing Queenie’s voice, Sophie frowned.“Queenie, I swear, if there’s even a scratch found on Ysabelle, I will beat you to death.”Not replying to that, Queenie only sneered. Now that I have Ysabelle, she’d better watch her attitude.“Come alone. If you dare call the police, I’ll ruin Ysabelle’s face.”With that, Queenie hung up and sent an address to Sophie using Ysabelle’s phone.“Queenie, do you know who I am? How dare you kidnap me!”“You can’t blame me for doing this, Ysabelle. Blame Sophie instead. If it
