Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Do Not Doubt His Words

Seeing that they had all left, Felix instantly made a call.

“Hey, have Zales Corporation vanish from Jipsdale in three hours.”

Only then did Selena realize the gravity of the matter.

“Who exactly are you both?”

Her knees went weak, and she couldn’t quite remain steady on her feet anymore.

“Well, he’s Tristan Lombard, whom you mentioned earlier! You wanted his niece to apologize to you? How audacious of you!”

“Tristan Lombard? He’s really Tristan Lombard?” Selena collapsed onto the couch. Gah! Why on earth did I say such things just now?

“Mr. Quillen, the Lombard family doesn’t want Ysabelle’s identity to leak out. As such, you’re not allowed to breathe a single word about the incident today.”

The Lombard family merely wanted to give Ysabelle a simple life.

“Sure, sure!” Rhett no longer dared to say anything contrary by then.

After all, it was Tristan Lombard. A single flick of his finger could have the whole of Jipsdale quaking in fear.

“As for you, Mrs. Zales, it’s best that you leave Jipsdale quickly. Don’t doubt Mr. Tristan’s words.”

Having said that, Felix strode off.

Despite my remark, Sophie was the main reason Mr. Tristan came personally today. In the past, even if Ysabelle encountered some sort of problem, he only sent us over. Does he really fancy her that much?

Meanwhile, Ysabelle was over the moon that Tristan came to school personally to help her.

“Thank you, Uncle Tristan! Don’t tell my father about this. Otherwise, he’ll kill me.”

“Yeah, I got it.”

“Uncle Tristan, this is my classmate and best friend, Sophie. She only got into trouble with Yvonne today because she avenged me.” Ysabelle adored Sophie.

“Have you eaten?” It’s noon now, and they probably hadn’t had lunch.

“Nope. Are you planning to treat me to lunch, Uncle Tristan? Okay, then! I want to eat the cuisine at Pegasus Pavilion!”

“Okay.” Tristan nodded in agreement.

“Really? You’re too nice to me, Uncle Tristan!” Ysabelle hugged his arm in elation.

However, at the man’s icy gaze, she immediately dropped her hold on him. Oh God, how could I have forgotten that he detests others touching him?

“I’ve still got something to do, Ysabelle.” Sophie didn’t plan on eating with them.

Upon hearing that, Ysabelle grabbed her hand at once, clutching it tightly.

“I must thank you for this incident today, Sophie. Thus, I insist on treating you to this meal. If you don’t go, it means that you don’t regard me as your friend.” Her tone was firm, but the expression on her face was incredibly coy. “Please? Pretty please? It’s just lunch. My uncle isn’t going to eat you,” she continued coaxing.

Cough! Cough! Cough! Felix couldn’t help coughing. Perhaps Mr. Tristan really wants to eat her up!

“What’s wrong with you, Mr. Northley? Go to the hospital and get yourself checked up if you’re not feeling well.”

“No, no, I’m fine.” Felix swiftly waved a dismissive hand before saying, “I’ll make a reservation at Pegasus Pavilion right now.”

Sophie was most afraid of girls like Ysabelle, who was cute and kittenish, for she couldn’t bring herself to turn the latter down.

“Okay.” She nodded since it was just a meal anyway.

“I’ll go and drive the car over. You guys can wait for me here.” Felix promptly trotted off to get the car.

When the car arrived, Tristan personally opened the car door for Ysabelle.

“Go in.”

“Uncle Tristan, I can sit in the back with Sophie!” In truth, Ysabelle still wanted to cling to Sophie longer. Alas, a look from the man had her slipping into the passenger seat at lightning speed.

After closing the car door, Tristan opened the car door to the back seat for Sophie.

“After you.”

It was clear as day that his attitude toward her was far better than his own niece.

Sophie got into the car and moved inward. Tristan climbed in as well. The two of them sat side by side.

When Felix saw that, the urge to laugh seized him. He’s being too obvious, isn’t he? But is he really serious about a girl who’s only eighteen years old? Why did I never realize that he’s such a beast, liking them young?
