Anything For Her

Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Fake Invitation

Since someone was trying to go against Wings of Light, they had to deal with the situation carefully.

“Okay. I’ll go over once I have the time,” 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.

“By the way, have you been close with Tristan recently?” Upon hearing that Sophie would go over, Butterfly breathed a sigh of relief and went on to gossip. “Phantom, I know you like the thrill, but Tristan isn’t someone to mess with. I’m worried about your safety.” Due to Sophie’s tender age, the other members were quite protective of her.

“I know.” In fact, Sophie had heard all about Tristan. “Don’t 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.

“Oh, 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,” Sophie uttered.

“But 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.

“Phantom… Don’t fall for Tristan’s good looks, okay? He’s not right for you,” Butterfly warned. Phantom can get whatever she wants in life. She doesn’t need to get involved with Tristan.

“You’re overthinking it,” Sophie answered.

“Am I? 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.”

“Okay. I’ll be as quick as possible.”

Nothing in the world could hide from Wings of Light.

“If that’s all, I’m going to hang up now.”

“Remember to come over to the headquarters,” 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.

“It’s about time. Let’s go,” Tristan said.

“Mr. Tristan, is it okay if I don’t stick together with you?” 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?” Tristan’s mood suddenly dampened.

“Well, I don’t like the attention, so—”

“You’re a star. You’ll attract attention wherever you go.”

Sophie was rendered speechless.

“Fine. Since you don’t want to be with me, do as you please then,” Tristan added.

Sophie didn’t say anything in response. Is Mr. Tristan throwing a tantrum?

Indeed, Tristan wasn’t happy. He had already shown her so much, and yet, she didn’t 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 family’s 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.

“Let’s go, Willow! I’ll bring you in.” 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!

In truth, the Yarborough family was nothing compared to the other families there.

“Louisa, 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.” 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.”

“What? You must’ve gotten it wrong. How is it possible that my invitation card is fake?” Louisa was in disbelief.

“Miss, I’m sorry. It’s a fake invitation card.”

“That’s impossible!” Louisa was enraged. “Do you know who I am? There’s no way my family has gotten a fake invitation card.”

“Well, I’m sorry. I don’t know who you are, and I don’t care. The one thing I’m certain of is that you’re not getting on.”

“You…” Louisa was furious. “I’m not going to waste my breath on you. I’m Ms. Lombard’s best friend, and I’m here to celebrate her birthday. No matter what, I’m getting onto the cruise ship today.”

When Louisa tried to drag Willow onto the cruise ship, the security guards stepped forward and stopped them.

“Please 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.

“Louisa, what’s going on? Didn’t Mr. Yarborough give you that invitation card?” Willow asked. This is so embarrassing. The reporters are taking photos of us.

“Wait. I’m calling my dad to find out what’s going on. I bet it’s just a mistake on their end. It can’t 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.

“That young girl in the black dress is stunning! Who is she?”

“Indeed! With her demeanor, she’s surely an aristocrat.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“She’s even more graceful than the celebrities!”
