Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529

Tristan looked dapper in a black custom suit, and his hair was styled neatly.

Jennifer was captivated the instant she saw her crush.

For a moment there, she did not know how to react. She had been passionately in love with Tristan for ten years.

It's been ten years! How many ten years can a woman have?

Just as she was about to step forward to greet him, she saw him gently helping a girl out of the car.

The tall and slender girl had braided hair and was exceptionally beautiful.

Not only that, but she was also wearing a dress that matched the color of Tristan's tie.

What exactly is their relationship?

Jennifer's expression turned sour.

Isn't Mr. Tristan here for our blind date? Why did he bring such a beautiful girl with him?

Naturally, other young ladies from wealthy families also attended the charity dinner that evening. However, instead of entering, they lingered at the entrance to take another glance at Tristan.

Upon witnessing the scene, those young ladies, who had been very jealous of Jennifer, started to mock her. “I know you've been in love with Mr. Tristan all this time, Jennifer, but you should know he has high standards. Look how beautiful the girl next to him is!”

Jennifer clenched her fists.

“What do you mean by that?” Are they saying that I'm not attractive enough?

“Nothing. I just wanted to say that you shouldn't be upset even if Mr. Tristan doesn't like you. It's certainly not your fault! His standards are just too high!”

Even though they were words of consolation, the one who spoke made them seem harsh and cynical.

“You—”

By then, Tristan had already brought Sophie over.

Since they stepped out of the car, those wealthy young ladies had been fixing their eyes on Sophie. Jennifer, especially, had murderous intent written all over her face.

Sophie stood before Jennifer right then and gave her a nod. “Hello, Ms. Whitley. I'm Sophie Tanner, Mr. Tristan's girlfriend.”

She did not like others questioning her identity, so she was upfront about it to stop them from fantasizing about him.

Jennifer felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face.

Mr. Tristan's girlfriend! I've never seen him admit to having a girlfriend even though I know there's no way he would be without a woman at his side, given the number of admirers he has. Could this young girl be his lover for real?

“Mr. Tristan, is what she said true?” Jennifer ignored Sophie. Who does she think she is? What right does she have to tell me all that?

Tristan was utterly displeased with Jennifer's attitude toward Sophie.

“Yes. Sophie is my girlfriend!”

His direct acknowledgment of Sophie's identity was not what Jennifer or the other ladies had anticipated.

“Are there any more questions?”

“No.”

Jennifer was dumbfounded. Yet, at that point, she knew she could not stir up any trouble. She could only let the guests in first, lest she embarrass herself further.

Tristan put his arm around Sophie's slender waist and led her in. Sarah and Ysabelle immediately followed.

“Are you two planning to announce it to everyone?” The latter two had never seen the couple display their affection so openly.

“Yes!” Sophie responded.

If this is the only way to prevent other women from hitting on Tristan, I'll gladly make it known to the entire world that Tristan is mine. No one is allowed to have any fantasies about him.

Ysabelle was incredibly delighted with Sophie's response.

“That's the way to do it, Sophie! You must let everyone know. Otherwise, they'll still believe that anyone can be Uncle Tristan's girlfriend!”

The charity dinner began.

Although the Whitley family had prepared a lavish dinner, the daughters and wives of wealthy families were not there to eat but to help their families expand their networks.

They barely touched their food.

Ysabelle, on the other hand, did not care about any of that.

She had not had dinner and was very hungry at that moment, so she ate with relish.

“Have some, Sophie. It's quite tasty!” she remarked. As expected of a five-star chef. The food is pretty good.

“I'm not hungry,” was Sophie's reply.

She and Tristan had already eaten before heading there.

You can't possibly expect me to eat on such an occasion, right?

Tristan gave her a glass of milk.

“Have some.”

“Okay.”

Despite her thoughts, she still listened to his words.

Jennifer was seated at the same table as them. Even if she knew Tristan had a girlfriend, she could not care less and wanted to join in their conversation.

As long as I can marry into the Lombard family, it doesn't matter how many women Mr. Tristan has outside!

However, the three members of the Lombard family were paying so much attention to Sophie that she had no chance to speak.

Caylie, Jennifer's mother, was seated with them as well, and she looked grumpy the whole time, evidently displeased that Tristan had brought along a companion.

In the end, when she realized that Tristan was giving her daughter the cold shoulder, she got up and left.

Jennifer knew that her mother was angry, so she immediately chased after her.

“What are you doing, Mom? That wasn’t very polite of you!”

“Jennifer, I know you've been interested in Mr. Tristan all this time, but you saw his attitude toward you. We've already agreed that you two will be having a blind date today, yet he ended up bringing another woman. Do you think he will truly love you?”

Jennifer was the Whitley couple's only daughter whom they had pampered since she was young. There was no way they could accept anyone mistreating her.

“I don't care, Mom. As long as I can marry Mr. Tristan, I can endure anything!” Jennifer exclaimed. It's fine as long as it's him.

“You—”

How could she put herself in such a humble position?

Caylie left unhappily. She can stay here and torment herself. In any case, I can't bear to see my daughter in such a miserable state.

As soon as Caylie left, Jennifer made a phone call to get someone to find out Sophie's identity, and only after learning about the latter's past did her expression relax a little.

How can the Lombard family ever accept Sophie's colorful past? I finally understand why Old Mr. Lombard told Mr. Tristan to go on a blind date. Clearly, he's not satisfied with Sophie, so he gave me this chance!

Jennifer could not help but chuckle.

The Tanner family? They're pretty insignificant in Jipsdale. Mr. Tristan is merely fooling around with her. She'll never be able to enter the Lombard family!

Jennifer returned to her seat with a flawlessly courteous smile on her face.

Ysabelle's face fell when she saw the other woman's smile. This woman is quite virtuous! I can't believe she got over it so quickly!

“I have a question for you, Sarah. May I?” Jennifer finally found a way to bring up the topic.
