Chapter 397


    “No, I can''t allow that. You''re mine and mine only!” Tristan would not allow such a thing to happen


    again.


    Sophie couldn''t help shaking her head.


    “I''m sorry, but I can''t promise you that. It''s not like I can push her away when she hugs me!”


    Besides, she did not think there was any issue with a simple hug.


    He''s the weird one here. It''s not other people''s fault.


    Tristan grew upset as he felt like Sophie valued Cecelia over him.


    Gosh. Why am I so pathetic?


    Upon noticing that he wasn''t eating, Sophie ced a piece of fish on his te.


    “Stop throwing a tantrum and eat.”


    He''s not a kid anymore. Why does he always need me to coax him? I''m not even good at doing that.


    Tristan could only sigh.


    I''m her boyfriend, yet I don''t even have a say in things!


    After witnessing Tristan''s behavior, Cecelia piped up, “Sophie, you might as well dump this boyfriend of


    yours. He''s too small-minded. Leave him, and I''ll introduce a better guy to you.”


    She was now acquainted with many big shots, so she was not afraid to provoke Tristan.


    What''s the big deal with hugging? We even slept in the same bed before. Is he going to get jealous


    over that too?


    Hearing Cecelia, Tristan nced at her.


    If this were someone else, they would have been terrified. However, Cecelia was unfazed.


    She had Sophie as her trump card, so Tristan could not possibly do anything to her.


    “Cecelia, stop bullying him,” Sophie chided, knowing very well Cecelia was doing that on purpose.

    She figured the two were ipatible, which was why they often fought when they met.


    Cecelia snorted and reminded, “Sophie, don''t forget that I''m your best friend.”


    “You''re only a friend, while I will be her husband and the father of her children in the future,” retorted


    Tristan.


    He was confident Cecelia would never be able to surpass him.


    Hearing that, Cecelia was rendered speechless.


    When Tristan saw how pissed off she looked, he smiled smugly.


    These people are nothing to Sophie. I am the most important person to her, and that is all that matters.


    “That''s enough. Can we please just eat in peace?” Sophie finally snapped.


    Seeing that she was actually getting impatient, Cecelia finally behaved.


    Just then, Sean told Tristan, “By the way, yton is in big trouble now. Zales Corporation lost its


    influence after failing to snag that big project. yton is a cunning man, so you guys have to be


    careful.”


    yton was the kind of person who would go to any lengths when he was desperate.


    “Yeah. No one else is to me for everything that''s happening to him now. He deserved it,” Tristan


    uttered. The biggest mistake yton made was messing with Sophie. There was no way Tristan would


    go easy on whoever dared to touch his woman.


    “That''s right. The people in Jipsdale are actually d to see him suffering now.”


    As yton had offended many people before, everyone thought he deserved what wasing to him.


    “Anyway, just be careful these days,” Sean repeated. After all, it was better to avoid unnecessary


    trouble.


    Charles chimed in and told Ysabelle, “Especially you, Ysabelle. You''re the weakest among us. You


    should refrain from going out on your own for now. If you need anything, let us know. We''ll apany


    you.”


    yton was currently looking for a way to end his crisis.


    Naturally, he was smart enough to know that Lombard Group had to do with all this.


    “All right. Don''t worry about me. I won''t go out alone,” Ysabelle reassured. Although she couldn''t do


    much to help, she at least knew better than to cause trouble for others.


    “That applies to you as well, Sophie. yton must be putting all the me on you right now. You have


    to be careful, okay?” Sean cautioned. He was most worried about Sophie.


    “Thank you for your concern, but I''m not afraid that he woulde for me.”


    “Regardless, you have to be on your guard. Tell me if you need anything.”


    As Sean said that, he decided to find a few men to protect Sophie in secret.


    Sophie could only nod to ease his worries. “I got it.”


    “yton totally deserved this,” Cecelia chipped in. “He doesn''t even respect his artists. Whenever they


    had a meeting, he would always openly shame those artists who don''t earn much.”


    Because of that, many people were happy to hear that he was in hot water now.


    Suddenly, Cecelia remembered something and added, “Wait, what will happen to the artists under his


    company now?” She was quite worried about them.


    “It''s up to them now. If they''re capable enough, there will be other agencies willing to sign them,”


    Sophie said. Since TS Entertainment was rtively small, it did not have the capacity to take in so


    many artists.


    “Sophie, I have a friend who''s an unknown actress under Sky Media. She never got any opportunities


    there, but she''s really nice. Her acting isn''t bad, too. Why don''t you sign her?” Cecelia mentioned.


    She used to be in the same film crew as that youngdy. Thetter was a great person, but she wasn''t


    doing well in her career since she was never given any opportunities.


    “Okay.” Sophie was quick to agree as she knew it took Cecelia a lot of courage to make that request.


    Feeling touched, Cecelia said, “Sophie, you''re so nice to me. How about this? I''ll sign a ten-year long-


    term contract with you.” She thought that was a good way to repay Sophie''s favor.


    “Isn''t it only right for me to treat you well?” Sophie responded.


    Considering the depth of their rtionship, it was natural for them to help each other.


    Once again, Cecelia was moved.


    She did not think Sophie was obligated to help her.


    Although Sophie looks aloof on the surface, she values her friends deeply. That''s why she''s so nice to


    me.


    “All right, enough talking about this. Don''t forget we''re here today to celebrate the graduation of these


    two beautifuldies.” As Charles spoke, he stood up and raised his ss. “Congrattions on


    graduating from high school!”


    With that, everyone got up from their seats.


    “That''s right. Your life is just about to start. yton is nothing!” Felix dered.


    They then clinked sses.


    After the meal, they headed to the bar next to the restaurant.


    “Charles is quite well-versed when ites to food and entertainment,” Cecelia remarked. Even


    though she had basically seen it all before, she had to admit that his club was fun.


    “Of course. How else could he have attained his status today?” Sophiemented. It was a given fact


    that the four men were no ordinary figures.


    While the men yed games and talked about business, the threedies sat aside and sipped on their


    milkshakes.


    “Sophie, to be honest, I didn''t expect you to date Tristan, and for so long at that.” Cecelia used to be


    worried sick about Sophie. She was scared that Tristan was just ying with Sophie and that thetter


    would get hurt eventually.


    Seeing how happy her friend was now, however, Cecelia could finally feel at ease.


    As Sophie nced at Tristan, who was ying billiards, her gaze softened.
