Electing A Leader
“She won’t have any interest in a man like me. I heard that she likes handsome men. As long it’s a man with good looks, she’ll seize and imprison him.”
Nonetheless, all those were mere rumors Bertram heard.
While talking, they arrived at Lily’s place. The woman specially built a mansion in Fandar, making it clear that she wanted to put down roots there.
By the time they made it, several big shots were already there. However, an invitation was required to gain entry.
“I only have a single invitation, Mr. Tristan. Thus, you and Ms. Tanner might not necessarily be able to gain admittance. Seeing a crowd at the gates, Bertram was inevitably worried.
“What’s there to worry about? It’s just invitations, no? I’ve got some here. Sophie held two invitations in hand.
“Are they the real thing?” Bertram took the invitations from her. Could they be fake?
“They’re real if I say so. Come, let’s go in! I want to have a look at Lily Sanders!”
Sophie had never heard of that name, and it was her first time learning it that day.
The big shots in Fandar only recognized Bertram since the man had been the one to manage everything there.
Conversely, Tristan had only arrived a few days ago. For that reason, they all came over and greeted Bertram one by one.
Bertram initially wanted to introduce Tristan and Sophie, but Tristan declined.
“There’s no need to introduce us. Just let them assume that you’re the boss.” Tristan did not want to yak with the people there.
In response, Bertram nodded.
“All right, then.” As he exchanged pleasantries with the crowd, a few young ladies in traditional clothes led them in.
When they arrived at the banquet hall, many people were already there, and the young ladies swiftly led them to their seats.
Tristan and Sophie remained seated, observing everyone there. Bertram, on the other hand, went off to greet other big shots.
It went without saying that the man was great at socializing. As such, he had no problems getting along with everyone there.
“What if Lily really takes a fancy to you later?” Sophie asked in a whisper.
This woman’s financial capabilities are astounding that she could build such a mansion in Fandar. What’s more, no one dares to have designs on this place!
“Why would I fear her when I’ve got you to protect me by my side? Would you hand me to someone else?” Tristan questioned solemnly.
“That’s hard to say. If she’s really as vicious as rumored. I’d have no choice but to sacrifice you.”
Tristan grasped her hand.
“How heartless of you! You’re not even worried about hurting me to say such a thing.” She’s the only person I love.
“I was just joking. Don’t worry! No matter her capabilities, I’d never hand you over to her. You’re mine and belong to me alone.” Are you satisfied with this answer?
“This is more like it.” Tristan was finally appeased. She should’ve said this in the first place!
Sophie’s looks were inherently striking. Following her appearance, several big shots had their eyes riveted on her.
Aware that she came with Bertram, some started feeling the man out.
“The lady who came with you is truly a devastating beauty, Mr. Asher! I wonder if we stand a chance to make her acquaintance?”
“Indeed! I’ve never seen such a beautiful Chanacan woman. I really like her. If there’s a chance-”
