Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 Her Own Life

“Probably Phantom,” Tristan replied. Who else could it be but her? Although, I thought Clayton had hired a skillful network security engineer to protect his company. Even with the engineer, he still can’t catch Phantom, huh?

“Is it really her?” Felix sounded a little excited. Seems like this Phantom also doesn’t like Clayton.

Upon hanging up the call, Tristan glanced at his wristwatch and saw there was still plenty of time before the exam ended. Thus, he drove back to Lombard Group.

When Felix saw his boss had returned, he felt like kneeling and thanking him for coming back.

“You’re finally willing to come back. I would’ve died if you still refused to return.” Felix couldn’t help complaining again.

“Stop your whining! This is an opportunity for you to train and get better, you know? I wouldn’t give other people this chance even if they begged me for it!” Tristan exclaimed.

Felix was thoroughly speechless. Haven’t I been trained enough?

“Can you stop finding excuses for spending time with your woman, Mr. Tristan? You’re acting like an incompetent boss right now,” Felix spat fearlessly.

Tristan swiftly dealt with the problems Felix was facing.

Because Zales Corporation’s system had been under constant attack, the entire company was in a frenzy. Lombard Group didn’t even need to do anything for Zales Corporation to suspend its operations.

At that moment, Clayton was beyond anxious as he tried to solve the problem.

He didn’t have time to take a breather at all.

At half-past eleven, the physics exam was over. All the students who walked out of the exam room looked like they were heading to the guillotine.

When they finished their maths exam, they had still gathered around to talk about how perversely difficult the questions were.

However, for the physics exam, they didn’t even have the mood to discuss the questions.

Ysabelle was no different from those students.

When she walked out of the room behind Sophie, she didn’t say a single word.

Sophie couldn’t help but comfort her friend when she saw that. “It’s all right. It’s just an exam. Besides, the questions this time around are really hard. Even if you can’t get good grades on the subject, it’s fine.”

“You don’t need to console me, Sophie. When we handed in our papers, I saw yours was filled to the brim with words and numbers.”

“Well, I’ll tell you this, Ysabelle. You don’t need to compare yourself with me. Just compare yourself to other people. You can tell how insanely difficult the paper was just by looking at their expressions.” Sophie was different from other people, after all.

No one would feel confident about themselves if they compared themselves to her.

Ysabelle glanced at the students around her and saw the light in their eyes had gone out.

After all, the new year was right around the corner. If they didn’t score well, the rest of the year would be miserable.

“That’s true, I guess. If everyone’s not going to get good grades for the paper, it’s not that bad if I also don’t get good grades.”

When the two of them exited the school, they saw Tristan’s car.

Ysabelle asked, “Uncle Tristan isn’t here to accompany us for the exam, right? It’s just an end-of-semester exam. Is that really necessary?”

She was already feeling pretty awful when she compared her performance on the paper with Sophie’s, yet her uncle came to torture her some more. It made her feel miserable.

Sophie had known his intentions since the morning, but she wasn’t sure if he had really stayed there for the entire period.

Both of them headed to the silver-gray Lamborghini.

Ysabelle opened the door to the back of the car, got in, and closed the door.

Sophie was speechless as she opened the door to the passenger seat and sat there.

“You haven’t been waiting here since the beginning, right, Uncle Tristan?” Ysabelle asked.

“You think too much,” Tristan replied.

She really didn’t feel like she was overthinking it.

Then she turned to Sophie and asked, “You said you were going back to Horington after the exams ended, right, Soph? When are you going back? Can I join you?”

“Mhm. I do want to go back, but my business here isn’t settled yet.”

The shareholders’ meeting for Tanner Group was about to start soon.
