Sophie was stumped, as she, too, couldn''t imagine someone else being the lead singer of The
Wheelers. Naturally, she figured that the fans shared her sentiments too.
Sophie was stumped, as she, too, couldn''t imagine someone else being the lead singer of The
Wheelers. Naturally, she figured that the fans shared her sentiments too.
After all, many bands were destined to break up once they lost their lead singer.
“Mark, there''s no need to be concerned about this yet, as it isn''t something urgent. We can discuss it
again sometime down the road.”
Currently, many fans were devastated by the news, so they might not ept a change in the lead
singer of the band, especially since Mark was their favorite and their reason for being fans in the first
ce.
“Sophie is right. There''s no rush. You should deal with whatever you need to do and not be concerned
about us.” Since none of us are worried, there''s no reason for him to feel that way. Sunny wanted to
wait in case Mark regretted his decision.
They were willing to give him all the time he needed and would always be ready to wee him back.
“Not that I''m anxious, but the search for a good lead singer will take a long time. Therefore, we have to
start the process even if we choose to do it discreetly.” Mark''s suggestion had their best interests at
heart, for they had sacrificed a lot just to follow him.
After going through so much, how can they just give it all up?
“I understand. Don''t worry, as long as I''m around, I won''t allow anyone to lose out.”
Since they were artists under TS Entertainment''s stable, they were naturally her responsibility.
“Mark, there''s no need for you to be worried about us. We''re all adults who can take care of ourselves,”
one of the members added.
He was cognizant that no one was at fault, for everyone made their own choices.
Hence, it fell upon them to figure out how they were going to move forward.
With Tristan yet to fully recover, The Wheelers, not wanting to disrupt his rest, didn''t stay too long.
Thus, Sophie escorted them to the door.
“Mark, please be careful. Turf wars between gangs can be really intense. They''re willing to go to
extreme ends to achieve their goals.” Mark was Sophie''s greatest worry now.
“You really shouldn''t worry. I can deal with it myself.” It''s no problem at all.
Sophie felt helpless.
“Once things settle down at my end, I''lle to talk to you again.” Truth be told, the Emerald Gang
was a hot potato in every sense of the word.
Whoever took over it would not have any peace.
“There''s no need to be concerned on my behalf, as you''re busy enough as it is. Instead, you should
focus on your own affairs and take good care of yourself.”

Mark, due to his feelings for her, felt his heart break when he saw her being overwhelmed.
“All right, I got it.” Sophie had no intention of rebutting. She couldn''t deny how exhausting taking care of
a patient was, but she was at least happy to be able to do something for Tristan. “Sunny, you had better
behave for the time being. Now that your hand is healing gradually, there''s no rush to go back to
practice.”
“I understand. There''s no need to fret about me. I''m all grown up now and will learn how to take care of
everyone else.”
He was no longer the same Sunny who always got into trouble.
“I''m d to hear that.”
Sunny has matured a lot.
However, Sophie felt mncholic about it, as she had secretly hoped that he remain a carefree boy
forever.
“All right now. You should go back in.”
It wasn''t until she watched the elevator doors close that Sophie returned to the house. As for Tristan,
he had opened the door to look for her.
“They''re gone.”
“I can see that.”
“There''s no need to be so concerned about Mark. My men are watching over him, so he''ll be fine.”
Considering that Mark had never gotten involved in gang wars before, it was understandable for her to
worry about him.
“Thank you.”
Sophie felt grateful for Tristan''s attentiveness despite him being grievously wounded.
“Why are you being a stranger? Didn''t I tell you that your affairs and friends are my business too?
There''s no way I would sit idly by and ignore them.”
It was evident that Mark wasn''t cut out to lead the Emerald Gang. “I''m currently looking for someone to
rece Mark but didn''t manage to find anyone suitable yet.”
“To take over Emerald Gang?”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Mark was truly ill-suited as a gang leader even though he had achieved phenomenal sess in the
entertainment industry.
As someone who was inherently kind, Mark didn''t have the gumption to lead a gang.
Conversely, without a capable leader, the members of Emerald Gang would suffer a terrible fate.
“Take your time searching. You''ll find a suitable candidate sooner orter.” The matter was time-
consuming and couldn''t be rushed.
“I know.”
Consequently, she didn''t feel anxious over it.
As long as she could ensure Mark''s safety, everything else could wait.
After resting at home for a couple of days, Sophie would''ve continued to stay by Tristan''s side if not for
school starting.
On that day, she needed to get herself enrolled at the University of Medicine.
As Jipsdale University was right next to it, Ysabelle dropped by with the intention of heading to school
together.
“Sophie, I feel kinda nervous now that school is about to start.”
Faced with the uncertainty of who she would meet and that of university life, Ysabelle was filled with
both anticipation and anxiousness.
Now that her album was about to be released, she would also need to mind her conduct in school as a
celebrity.
“Don''t fret. Just be yourself and you''ll be fine.”
As thepany didn''t impose a specific persona on her, there was no risk of having a divergence in
her public appearance and her private life.
The realization of Sophie''s thoughtfulness caused Ysabelle to give the former a tight hug.
“You''ve always been good to me, Sophie.” As long as she didn''t do anything controversial, she was
free to let her own personality shine.
“Ysabelle, you''re not allowed to hug Sophie from now on.” Tristan was upset by the sight.
“Uncle Tristan, I''m your niece, for goodness sake. Isn''t it ridiculous to be jealous of me? It''s just a hug.
What''s the big deal?”
“No means no. Are you challenging me?”
Ysabelle responded by throwing Sophie a pitiful look.
“Sophie, your boyfriend is bullying me again. Do something about it!”
Isn''t he too much? Without me, would he have won Sophie''s heart that easily? Do I not deserve a little
respect for that? What''s with this tant disy of ungratefulness?
Sophie gave Ysabelle''s cheek a pinch.
“There, there. Just let it slide since he''s still a patient.”
Tristan was speechless.
Fine. At the very least, she''s taking my side. As for Ysabelle, her temper eased upon Sophie''s efforts to
assuage her.
“All right. I''ll let him off the hook. Come on, it''s time to go to school now.”
After all, Sophie will be mine again once we''re at university!
