Rise Above The Betrayal (Sophia and Tristan) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 

Sophia suddenly lost her composure, and this time, she grabbed Tristan’s arm with both hands and called his name through gritted teeth. 

Tristan remained calm, glancing at the two hands holding him, and with a typical smile on his lips, he said, “Mm, I’m here.” 

‘Darn it‘ 

Sophia pinched Tristan’s arm hard and asked, “What did 

“It’s not easy 

easy to encounter such a big fool. 

you dor 

No matter how bewitching your smile is, it can’t compare to the money I’ve lost! Sophia thought. 

Her grip was strong. 

But Tristan’s expression did not change the slightest as he said, “Don’t rush.” 

“How could not rush? 

You offered five million. 

Could that big fool offer a higher bid?‘ Sophia wondered. 

Then, a voice, bearing pride mixed with a touch of annoyance, rang out, “5.5 million!” 

Sophia was at a loss for words. 

‘She’s really a loaded fool! 

Is this how a rich young lady goes after a man?‘ Sophia wondered 

She glanced once more at Xandra. 

Xandra still sat there with her chin up, but she looked annoyed. 

Sophia didn’t dare to keep her attention on Xandra for long. 

She quickly turned her head, hands still firmly grasping Tristan’s arm. Then she leaned in and whispered into his ear, “Stop raising the bid. This must be the limit of your admirer.” 

She understood the situation. 

Tristan’s admirer was clearly under the impression that Tristan had bid for those ten pills just for her. 

That was indeed the case. 

So, his admirer couldn’t hold it back and wanted to join in to prove her presence. 

She was annoyed not only because Tristan immediately raised the bid by 1.5 million, displaying a stance of spending a fortune on Sophia, but also because an increase of 0.5 million per pill was already her limit.

If Tristan offered a higher bid, she might give it up. 

If so, the auction house would earn 5 million more for nothing. 

Tristan’s smile deepened. 

Sophia seemed completely unaware of just how close she was to Tristan at that moment. 

The rich fragrance on her wafted into Tristan’s nose. 

Tristan’s Adam’s apple moved, his neck slightly tensed. 

“Alright.” He chuckled in a hoarse voice. 

His doting smile and sexy voice made Sophia’s ears turn slightly red. 

Her long lashes trembled, and only then did she realize just how close she was to Tristan in her excitement. 

With her hands on Tristan’s arm, half of her body was almost leaning on his long, straight legs. 

Tristan leaned back slightly, his posture languid. His white shirt loosened further with her movement, presenting an alluring 

scene. 

Under the bright lights, his sexy collarbone was enchanting 

It looked as if Sophia was forcing him. 

Sophia went crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye. 

She immediately propped herself up, released Tristan’s wrist, and tried to back away 

But in her panic and haste, she somehow tripped over Tristan’s long, slender calf. 

She lost her balance and fell in Tristan’s direction. 

Tristan seemed to be prepared for that, as he lifted his long armand caught Sophia’s slender waist just in time. 

Sophia’s fragrant and soft body fell into Tristan’s embrace. 

Tristan’s fingers steadily rested on Sophia’s waist. 

Yet, Sophia’s face still bumped into Tristan’s chest. 

Her burning face happened to press against his bare chest. 

And her crimsons 

lips touched his collarbone 

The sudden accident made Sophia’s mind buzz, leaving her momentarily blank. 

She was stunned, unable to react and move away. 

Tristan tightened his grip on Sophia’s waist slightly. 

Even through the oversized hoodie, he seemed to feel the delicate touch and scorching heat of her waist.

Chapter 70 

He felt as if his 

Land was being burned. 

His eyes grew darker, and he looked down, his affections hidden 

Sophia’s warm and soft lips made his body tense. 

Even worse, the firm muscles of his lower abdomen were taut, 

Sophia stood still, maintaining that posture, her scorching breath kept tugging at his heartstrings. 

The sweet torment almost drove him mad. 

Yet, he couldn’t bear to push her away. 

He could only contain his overwhelming desires, his hazel eyes gradually tinted with a shade of crimson. 

Sophia gradually snapped back to her senses. 

As her long lashes trembled, what came into view was Tristan’s smooth skin. 

She blinked rapidly, then suddenly propped herself up with her hands on the back of the sofa.
