It was just….
When Ethan spotted Sophia….
He sat bolt upright as his pupils shrank.
She was still like before, in a hoodie and skin–tight jeans of her favorite color. Her ponytail was tied up high, complementing her rosy checks.
But, there was a real eyesore on her….
A plain black tailor–made suit jacket she was wearing right then.
She had the loose jacket draped around her shoulders as if she were a baby in her mother’s arms.
Clearly, it was a man’s coat.
Ethan’s eyes trembled as he clenched his fists in ager. The surging anger in him almost scorched his heart.
Then he noticed something else too….
The one standing next Sophia was none other than Tristan!
It was that damned Tristan’s coat!
So they were really together!
The subtle atmosphere between them also reminded Ethan of the photo Henry had sent him-
They looked intimate and romantic!
So, had they done everything that lovers do!
Ethan’s chest heaved, his eyes clouded with gloom.
Perhaps his gaze was too piercing that he might have twisted the magnetic field.
Sophia was out of the manor, waiting for the valet to drive her car over, and she felt something off.
She frowned slightly and glanced in the direction of Ethan.
At that moment, Ethan felt his heart tightened. For some unknown reason, he panicked.
He even sat up straight before he realized, gripping the steering wheel with both hands.
For a split second, he hoped Sophia would notice him.
As long as he saw him….
She would run to him, leaving Tristan alone.

Wasn’t she always like that?
No matter where they were, she could always see his face at first lance in the crowd.
Then, she would see him for surel
But it was just his wishful thinking. Sophia glanced around and looked away.
Tristan’s gaze swept around her shoulder. “What’s wrong?”
Sophia shook her head. “Nothing.”
Then, the valet arrived in her car.
Sophia was about to get into the driver’s seat.
Tristan stopped her.
She looked back.
Tristan’s thin lips slightly parted. “Hey, I mean, I’m hitching a ride, so how can I let you drive?”
He grabbed her slender wrist, the warmth of his palm seeping onto her skin. He led her to the passenger side and opened the door.
While he said that, he rested his fair hand on the top of the frame, slightly leaning forward. Under the moonlight, he looked like a masterpiece she would steal from the Louvre.
To cap it all, he even beamed a warm smile while she could feel his breathing.
“My lady, get in, please.”
Sophia suddenly blushed, her eyes round like saucers.
She quickly looked away at the valet.
The valet’s mouth twitched; he was probably holding back his laughter.
Sophia slipped into the car.
“Hey… what’s wrong with him!
“Hasn’t he any shame? He leads the Yeats Family, gosh!
Tristan chuckled softly, slowly closing the door, and walked to the driver’s seat.
As he opened the car door to get in.
He slightly raised his eyebrows, his hazel eyes scanning the direction Sophia had just looked at
Then his lips slightly curved.
In the opposite, Ethan stiffened slightly on his seat, gripping onto the steering wheel even tighter.

Just then….
What was that glance from Tristan?
Did he see him?
Was he… declaring war?
Face–darkened, Ethan watched Sophia’s car disappear from his view.
The irritation drove him to punch the steering wheel hard again
‘Well done, Sophia.
‘Good job, Sophia!
Now you think you can have me in palm of you hand since youre with Tristan Yeat? You can make me regret?
‘Heh!
‘Absolutely no!
‘I would never regret!
‘Never be swayed by a nobody!
‘And 1 definitively didn’t come here for you, Sophia!”
As if to prove all that big talk inside, or, perhaps just to convince himself, he texted Henry back.
[I am here, of course, to pick up Chloe.]
[My fiancée!]
That was right!
He was there all for Chloe!
And… the famous Miss Roscente, the richest in Virelia!
Through Chloe, he could get to meet that young lady.
Then he could finally know how they rubbed the family the wrong way and why they were sanctioned in such a short notice.
As long as he knew why, he could fix that.
He had long heard about the young Miss Roscente… the only aple of the eye of the family, a true princess
After she put in a good word for him…
The Baker Family’s crisis would surely be resolved.
Yes!

Chapter 75
He was there for the family.
Not for like
Sophia, not in a million years!
Ethan then tapped on Chloe’s avatar, ready to call.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang.
“Hey… Xandra, wait! I can’t keep up!”
That was Chloe!
Ethan jerked his head up, only to see two figures at the manor entrance.
A lofty sexy woman in a black gown stormed out in front.
Meanwhile, a gentle–looking girl, wearing a white mermaid evening dress, chased behind panicking.
Wasn’t the woman behind… Chloe?!
Chloe looked so anxious and restless.
Ethan then thought of the photo Henry had sent.
He could readily associate the flattering Chloe with a maid trying to please her master-
With a deep frown, he stepped out of the car.
Chloe was busy catching up with Xandra. What I did this time? No idea! Ugh, why is she angry?!”
And she even couldn’t complain about the slap she had just taken; she could only try to please her in every way possible.
Then, a deep, cold voice tinged with anger rang behind her. “Chloe
Chloe froze in her tracks, feeling her heart clutched. She turned her head around.
It was a stern Ethan walking out of the darkness in a black coat.
Chloe stammered. “E–Ethan…”
“OMG, why is he here?
I don’t remember talking about this auction with him?
‘Did he… did he know I was lying?”
Chloe twisted her fingers, her mind racing as she was trying to come up with an excuse.
However, Ethan just strode towards her, wrapped his arm around her waist, and looked at her intently. “Where have you been? I’ve come to pick you up
