Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 582

William fell into deep thought for some time.

Even as he remained silent, Sophie didn't pressure him or grow anxious. She stood up and found a disposable cup to drink some water.

“Sophie, you're not a good match for Tristan. I'm grateful that you found the national treasure and gave it back to me. but you should break up with Tristan.” William finally broke the silence after a while.

Sophie kept mum.

She wasn't counting on the gift to change William's mind anyway.

She took a sip of water and put the paper cup down.

“Old Mr. Lombard, didn't I tell you there's no way we will break up? I won't change my mind no matter what others say!”

Tristan and I trust and love each other. We won't give up so easily.

“What do I have to do for you to give up? I'll agree to any conditions you set even if it means helping the Tanner family join the upper-class society of Jipsdale.”

“I can make the Tanner family join the upper-class society of Jipsdale on my own. No one can force me to give Tristan up!”

“You—” William had no idea what to say.

In the end, he stopped talking and allowed Sophie to see him out.

When they stepped out, they saw Dominic and his assistant waiting outside. Upon spotting them, Dominic promptly offered, “Old Mr. Lombard, are you leaving already? Why don't you stay for a meal together?”

“No need. I have something else on.” William's expression was grim.

“Old Mr. Lombard, wait for me. I'll walk you out!” Sophie piped up.

Hearing that, Dominic handed his car keys to her.

“You can take my car. The University of Medicine is quite big, so it will take over an hour to walk out.”

Sophie nodded. That was, in fact, her plan. She didn't reject Dominic's offer and took his car keys.

William didn't stop her.

After all, he was old. It would be tiring for him to walk all the way out.

Sophie had just dropped William at the campus gate when she received a call from Eustace. She immediately knew he had run into trouble again.

“What is it?” she asked after answering the call.

“Where are you? I'm arriving at the University of Medicine soon. I need your help. Are you free now?” Eustace asked urgently.

“Sure. I'll wait for you at the entrance.”

Having said that, Sophie hung up.

William's driver was not in the car as he had gone to the restroom, so William had to wait for him.

Before his driver showed up, Eustace arrived in a military jeep.

William narrowed his eyes at the sight of the license plate number. It only took him a while to recognize who the person was.

What is his relationship with Sophie? Why is Sophie surrounded by so many eligible bachelors?

Eustace's vehicle immediately caught the attention of the students of the University of Medicine. Many girls adored men in uniform, and more so if they were handsome.

Eustace was more handsome than normal celebrities.

He opened the door, hopped off his vehicle, and went over to Sophie in just a few strides.

“Ms. Tanner, I know I shouldn't disturb you, but this is urgent.”

Hearing that, William arched a brow. He's the captain of the SWAT team. Why would he need Sophie's help? He must be here to court her as he likes her.

Sophie let out a helpless sigh. Every time Eustace came to see her, he would claim it was an urgent matter.

“Let's go. Old Mr. Lombard, I'm sorry, but I have other matters to attend to. I won't be staying here with you,” Sophie said, then turned and left with Eustace.

Dominic's car was left at the entrance. She would just have to deliver the keys to him later.

Eustace rarely paid attention to the current news, so he had no idea who William was. As William was obviously Sophie's acquaintance, he shot the elderly man a curt nod.

William stood rooted to the spot in befuddlement as he watched Sophie get into Eustace's car.

Right then, his driver showed up. “Old Mr. Lombard, I'm really sorry. My stomach was acting up, so—”

“Okay, stop explaining. Let's go and find Tristan!” William ordered. Visiting Tristan wasn't part of his plan, but after what happened, he knew it was time to talk to Tristan.

When William arrived, Tristan was in the middle of a meeting. William went to his office and waited for him to be done.

After the meeting adjourned, Tristan came back to his office to see his father waiting there.

“Dad, is something urgent going on? Why are you here?” Tristan placed his files on the desk before sitting down across from William.

“William, are you sure you won't break up with Sophie?” William asked sternly.

“Why? Didn't I tell you previously that we will never break up?” Tristan was baffled, for he had stated his decision more than once.

“Take a look at this.” Right away, William displayed the stuff Jennifer had given him on the table.

Tristan swept his gaze over the stuff lazily. He wasn't bothered until he spotted Nicholas' face.

A scowl crept up his face instantly. I can't believe Nicholas is here! What does he want? Why did he show up by Sophie's side? What does he have in mind?

William was pleased to see Tristan's reaction. Ha! I knew it. A man will definitely take offense at such matters.

“Tristan, don't get me wrong. I'm not looking down on the Tanner family, but you know our family's status in Jipsdale. Sophie doesn't seem to care about her reputation.”

Tristan said nothing.

“If your relationship doesn't work out, then forget about it. The young ladies who want to marry you in Jipsdale can form a line all the way to Anglandur, so why are you so hung up over her? She hasn't settled down yet, so no one knows what she'll be like in the future,” William continued.

“Dad, it's getting late. You should head home for now,” Tristan interjected. “Please stop interfering in Sophie's business.”

Hearing that, William didn't pursue the subject further.

Instead, he said, “I went to look for her earlier. She left in Eustace's car!”

Eustace? Why did he come to see Sophie again? He's involved in dangerous matters and dangerous people. Whenever Eustace gets involved in something, it always ends up being dangerous.

He immediately took out his phone to call Sophie, only to find out that her phone had been switched off.

“What's wrong?” William asked curiously.

“Dad, I'll ask the driver to send you home. From now on, don't meet Sophie in private. No matter what, I won't break up with her!” It had taken him a lot of effort to get Sophie to agree to be his girlfriend, so there was no way he'd give up so easily.

Worried that she might get hurt, Tristan made up his mind to do everything within his power to contact her.

Eustace and Sophie had already arrived at the base. Danny could finally heave a sigh of relief when Sophie showed up.
