Chapter 611
It was the first time Georgina met Tristan. He was standing beside Sophie. Both of them possessed ravishing appearances that made everyone else envious.
Georgina said, “Sophie, is he your boyfriend? Your boyfriend is so handsome!” It turns out that we can actually bring a plus one over on such occasions. Even so, it has nothing to do with me anyway. I don’t have a boyfriend yet.
Georgina started to feel sad for herself at this point.
“Yes. He’s my boyfriend. His name is Tristan Lombard. Tristan, this is Dr. Georgina Bates,” Sophie introduced the two.
After Sophie finished speaking, Tristan reached out his hand toward Georgina.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Tristan,” Tristan said politely. After all, Georgina was someone formally introduced by Sophie, so he naturally looked at her in a different light.
Georgina’s heart was pounding. She found that Tristan’s voice was euphonious.
“Nice to meet you too. I’m Georgina.” Georgina tried to regain her composure. Pull yourself together! No matter what, I can’t disgrace Sophie.
After all, she was someone Sophie knew.
“All right. It’s about time. Let’s go in!” There was already a man in military uniform waiting outside.
“Everyone, this way, please. The president has already been waiting for you guys inside.” The man in military uniform was in a high position and seemed to be a leader.
The group went in together and followed the man in military uniform and took their seats respectively. At seven o’clock, the president showed up at the banquet hall.
The president had a meal together with everyone. In the beginning, he raised his glass and gave a toast, expressing his gratitude toward everyone for their outstanding contribution to the genetic virus research.
Eventually, he got to his feet and said, “Sophie, I know you’re only a freshman-year student. I really didn’t expect you to do such great things in this genetic virus incident. Here’s my toast to you.”
Before Sophie could take the glass, it had already been taken away by Tristan and directly replaced with a glass of water for her instead.
Sophie felt pretty helpless about it. What is he doing? There are so many people watching.
“I’m so sorry. She doesn’t drink,” Tristan said. He did not like it when Sophie drank in front of others.
The president was unbothered and waved his hand. “Let’s toast with water, then! It’s fine.” He did not care about such a minor matter. After all, one had to possess great wisdom to reach his position today.
Sophie did not say anything more and just took a sip of water.
“Mr. Tristan, you’ve made great contributions this time too. Here’s a toast to you!” The president knew who Tristan was.
Tristan could be a successful politician if he got into politics, but he did not seem interested in politics at all.
“I’m just doing my part as a citizen of Chanaea. I believe anyone would have done the same thing if they had the capabilities like me,” said Tristan.
The president was an elegant man. He had strong opinions on many things. Hence, he was not bothered by Anglandur even when they had pressured him to return Stephen.
“Dr. Smith, I heard you’re planning to move the International Medical Association to Chanaea. I want to let you know that you’re always welcome here. Feel free to contact my secretary if you need anything,” said the president.
If International Medical Association could move to Chanaea, it would absolutely bring benefits to the country.
Of course, the president had to try his best to make this matter happen.
“Thank you. We’re indeed planning to move International Medical Association to this place. The reason why we planned to move here is because of Sophie. I hope she can be the next person in charge of International Medical Association.” After all, Barney made his efforts to come here because of this.
“I see! What an outstanding youth.” The president seemed to be particularly interested in Sophie.
Yet Tristan felt very displeased about that.
He did not like it when other men paid too much attention to Sophie.
Even if the man was the president of Chanaea.
Sophie could feel Tristan’s emotions clearly and held his hand gently.
She was comforting him silently.
Tristan did not heed the president but kept placing food in Sophie’s bowl.
Sophie was actually already full.
However, seeing Tristan like that made her swallow some of the food in her bowl despite feeling full. If I continue to consume anymore food, I’ll surely die from overeating.
Sophie moved slightly closer to Tristan and said, “Tristan, I truly can’t eat these anymore. I’ll die from overeating if I don’t stop.”
Only then did Tristan realize she had eaten too much.
“Okay. Stop eating them if you’re already full,” Tristan said as he took over her bowl and ate all the leftovers.
The president was a wise man.
He knew what Tristan meant and did not say anything more, putting his ego aside and having his meal with everyone else.
After the meal, they were all sent back personally by the president’s guards.
Barney and Georgina still went back to the hospital while Sophie and Tristan returned to the mansion.
After the shower, Sophie felt entirely relaxed.
“Everything is finally over. A lot of things happened during this period,” Sophie said ruefully.
Tristan hugged her in his arms and said, “This matter is indeed over, but you have other things to deal with. You couldn’t be reached during this period and perhaps didn’t know Willow had already taken over Tanner Group.”
Is that what I think it is? Sophie asked, “What about Mr. White?” Isn’t he always capable? How would such things still happen?
“He had no choice too. Willow held the will of Old Mr. Tanner, and you didn’t show up,” Tristan briefly explained the current situation to Sophie.
“I didn’t deal with this matter as I thought it would be interesting to let them have their way for a few days, and then I’ll take back what I want the most from them,” said Sophie.
Some people are just so presumptuous.
They actually thought Tanner Group would be theirs.
Sophie was speechless. She had been quite busy recently, but that did not mean the three of them could take away what belonged to her.
The truth was, Tanner Group did not matter to Sophie much. Even without Tanner Group, she was also able to form another much more competitive company than Tanner Group.
However, since Josiah had handed over Tanner Group to her, she would not let those people ruin it.
Sophie had never shown up, while Tristan never seemed concerned about this matter. Willow thought Tristan must have already gotten tired of Sophie, which was why such a situation happened.
Sitting in the general manager’s office, Willow lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
She was pretty satisfied with how things turned out.
That’s right. I’m still the eldest daughter of Tanner Group. I can get any man I want if I have Tanner Group and live my life even more freely after Sophie leaves this world. Willow could not help but smile smugly at the thought of that. Just then, Charmaine came over.
“Willa, bad news! Sophie is back.” Charmaine’s face turned pale all of a sudden. She thought Sophie would not come back for a while and did not expect her to return so quickly.
“Stop being anxious! Everything is in our hands now. What can Sophie do even if she comes back?” said Willow.
