Isabella Yates is definitely looking for trouble on purpose. If it were just the two of them here, she would surely snort coldly and leave, but with so many eyes watching, she can’t do anything that would lose her dignity. "I think you misunderstood. I didn’t expect to meet you and Edward Harrison here, I’m just here to buy coffee." She raised her eyes and glanced at Edward Harrison, seeing the hurt in his expression. He must think Sophie Smith has become quite absurd now, right? In the past, whenever Sophie saw him, she was always so cheerful, eager to leap onto him. But her recent words, actions, even the smile at the corner of her mouth, made him feel so unfamiliar. Her hands clenched into fists, desperately covering the turmoil in her heart. "Sophie, I know you used to like Edward Harrison, but he has a girlfriend now. I advise you to have some self-respect. Besides, aren’t you often with that big sponsor? Why are you still keeping an eye on Edward Harrison?" Completely ridiculous nonsense, Isabella’s skill with words is quite formidable. Sure enough, people around them started talking. "By the way, I saw you chatting enthusiastically with a junior just now. Wouldn’t your big sponsor be angry if he knew about it?" She said loudly, as if afraid others couldn’t hear her. "Isabella!" Edward Harrison spoke up discontentedly. Isabella Yates always stirred trouble, and he had tolerated her eagerly. But seeing her here mocking Sophie Smith, he couldn’t take it anymore. Edward wasn’t oblivious to Isabella’s sarcasm. Once, she casually mentioned Sophie’s name and insisted on arguing with him, constantly belittling Sophie. He was anxious to defend Sophie and ended up yelling at Isabella, which made her angry. Her exact words to him were, "Do you think your Little Sophie is still that innocent girl? She used her body for roles, climbed into Asher Land’s bed, and maybe not just his bed!" Isabella claimed she saw Sophie Smith accompany Asher Land for business meetings, playing ambiguously with him...

Edward Harrison spoke up, not wanting to see Sophie Smith being troubled by Isabella Yates. The crowd grew larger, curious about what was happening. Sophie knew staying longer wouldn’t be beneficial, so she said goodbye to Edward and prepared to leave. "Sophie! I want you to clear things up today!" Isabella let go of Edward and blocked her way. Sophie frowned with displeasure. Clear up what? "Tell Edward Harrison now that there’s no possibility between you two, and stop longing for him!" Sophie was baffled, thinking Isabella’s words were quite unbelievable. She and Edward haven’t even seen each other recently, nor have they talked about emotions at all. Where did Isabella hear such things and start making wild guesses? Isabella believed her words had a basis. If Edward Harrison didn’t have feelings for Sophie, he wouldn’t call her name in dreams repeatedly, wouldn’t stand out to defend her whenever Isabella said something bad about her, nor would he immediately text to meet when he knew she’d returned to campus. Yet, she wouldn’t say anything nasty to Edward. She took out her frustrations on Sophie Smith.
