Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449

“What? I was just complimenting you, though. Do you want me to go back to being harsh again?” Felix didn't know what he was supposed to do.

“I think you should just keep your mouth shut,” Ysabelle replied, much to Felix's chagrin.

I keep her company while she's recording, and yet, she turns against me the moment Sophie shows up. How rude!

Since neither Tristan nor Felix knew much about singing, Ysabelle decided to seek Sophie's professional opinion instead. “What do you think of my singing, Sophie?”

“You did all right.”

Ysabelle had a great voice and had been putting in a lot of effort, so her singing had improved significantly.

Ysabelle breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. “Really?”

“Yes, really.”

“You do indeed sing pretty well. I'll let your father listen to your album once you're done recording it,” Tristan said.

Lincoln is still against the idea of Ysabelle singing, but he might change his mind after hearing how well she sings.

“Thanks, Uncle Tristan!” Ysabelle felt very satisfied with her performance.

Uncle Tristan rarely compliments me, so that must mean my singing was decent! Looks like my hard work has paid off, after all!

“Carry on with the recording,” Sophie said.

“Okay!”

Sophie and Tristan continued observing her for a little while longer before stepping out of the recording booth.

TS Entertainment seemed to be doing well with The Wheelers, Cecelia, and Ysabelle on its side.

“You're doing a great job managing TS Entertainment.”

“I think I did all right.”

At the very least, it wasn't far from what she had in mind.

Cecelia had been given a role in a film with a really high budget and was preparing for the shoot.

Ysabelle was in the process of recording her album, and The Wheelers was preparing for an upcoming concert. So far, everything seemed to be going according to plan.

“Tristan, did you run into some kind of trouble lately?” Given how advanced internet technology had become, Sophie was able to find out even though he had kept quiet about it.

Tristan was not expecting her to say something like that all of a sudden.

“No, it doesn't exactly count as trouble. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you. It's just a minor issue, after all.”

There was no problem he couldn't solve, so he wasn't really bothered by it.

He has been helping me out by my side all this while, so why won't he tell me about his problems? There's no reason to keep me in the dark if I can help out!

“I told you to let me know if you ever run into any problems. I might be able to help you out,” Sophie reminded him.

“All right, I'll let you know if I'm unable to handle it.”

Tristan wasn't actually struggling with anything as he was the one who caused those problems.

Being a businessman, he sometimes had to resort to underhanded means, and he didn't want Sophie to see this side of him.

Arius was freaking out when he heard about Sophie choosing the University of Medicine and Jipsdale University.

“What's the meaning of this, Sophie?”

He came all the way from Anglandur just to confront Sophie about it in her office.

“What are you talking about?”

“Don't play dumb with me! Didn't you promise Barney you would join the International Medical Association? Why did you choose the University of Medicine? Why would you want to stay here?”

“I never promised anyone I'd join the International Medical Association, Arius. Just like before, I only said I'd go have a look. Besides, I don't need to go to Anglandur just to study medicine.”

The medical technology in Chanaea was pretty advanced too. Since Sophie wasn't the type to glorify foreign countries, she believed it made no difference where she chose to study in.

“How could you say that? You'll be able to achieve so much more by joining the International Medical Association! You can't seriously be content with being an ordinary doctor for the rest of your life, right?” Arius exclaimed.

A talented individual like her should be working alongside an elite team of researchers to benefit the medical field!

“This is my choice, Arius. I want to stay here.”

“What do you mean your choice? I bet you're only staying because of Tristan! Life is short, Sophie. You shouldn't let your relationship get in the way of your studies and research,” Arius retorted angrily.

Sophie stared at him in disbelief.

“Arius, you're glorifying Anglandur's medical research a little too much.”

“I'm not glorifying anything. It's simply an undeniable fact, regardless of whether you believe it or not.”

“That's enough. You hardly come back these days, so I don't want to get into an argument with you over this.” Sophie felt there was no need to argue over such trivial matters.

Arius could only let out a helpless sigh in response.

Unbeknownst to them, Barney had dropped by as well.

The conversation was interrupted when Arius' phone started ringing all of a sudden.

Seconds after answering the phone, he exclaimed in disbelief, “What did you say? Where did you say you were?”

“I said, I'm outside TS Entertainment. Will you come downstairs, please? These people won't let me in!” Barney repeated himself with a displeased frown.

People had always treated me with respect wherever I went, and yet, these guards won't even let me enter the building.

“Are you sure you're not talking in your sleep right now?”

“I'm in a bad mood right now, Arius! You'd better not mess with me!” Barney yelled impatiently. He was upset that his favorite student refused to join the International Medical Association and take over his position.

“Dr. Smith is downstairs. You go talk to him!”

As Barney really wanted Sophie to be his successor, her decision gave him quite a huge shock.

Sophie fell speechless when she heard that.

Why is everyone coming over? It won't do them any good. I've already made my decision, so I'm not going to change my mind so easily.

Arius then went downstairs to let Barney in.

“Go pour me a glass of water.” Barney had rushed over in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to hydrate himself.

“I'll go get it,” Sophie said as she stood up.

“Oh, it's fine. Arius should be the one to do this sort of thing,” Barney replied.

Arius rolled his eyes in response.

What the heck is wrong with Dr. Smith? I'm his student! How could he be so mean to me?

Although unhappy, Arius had no choice but to do as told. After all, Barney was his mentor and had tons of ways to make his life a living hell.

Feeling a lot better after gulping down a glass of water, Barney looked at Sophie and asked seriously, “Sophie, can I ask you something?”

“Of course,” Sophie replied respectfully.

“Why did you pick the University of Medicine instead of joining the International Medical Association?” Barney asked the question that had been bugging him the entire journey.

“Because I believe it makes no difference where I study medicine.”

She didn't really feel the need to go to Anglandur.

“In that case, why did you refuse to join the International Medical Association?” Barney pressed on. He believed those who wished to study medicine should join that association.
