Chapter 867
Felix brought Ysabelle upstairs, and she suddenly turned around to hug him. “Where are you going? Would you stay here and keep me company?” She didn’t want to be alone.
“Sure. I’ll stay and be with you today. Would you like to take a shower first? I’ll wait for you outside,” Felix said. She’ll feel better and relaxed after a shower.
“Okay.” Ysabelle went to shower.
Lincoln rushed home when he found out what had happened. The moment he arrived, he saw William sitting in the living room, seemingly deep in thought.
“Dad, is Ysabelle back?” Lincoln asked.
“Yes. She’s back.”
“I’ll go upstairs to check on her,” Lincoln answered. She has been pampered since she was little. I bet she’s spooked by what happened!
“Felix is with her.” Although William didn’t really like Felix before this, he knew Ysabelle would feel better with Felix around.
“Oh, I see,” Lincoln responded. Felix is a bit too old for Ysabelle, but I don’t mind his age if they’re both into each other.
“Why are you back?” William asked Lincoln.
“Dad, how could I not come back when something like that happened to my daughter?” Lincoln questioned. She’s my precious daughter!
“Well, I thought you only care about your work!” William mocked. None of this would have happened if Lincoln hadn’t been so invested in his career.
Lincoln knew his father was unreasonably putting the blame on him, but he had to endure it out of respect for his father.
A while later, Sarah also arrived. She wanted to be there earlier, but she was caught up with work.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Lincoln and William sitting on the couch in the living room. Needless to say, both men looked grumpy.
Upon heaving a helpless sigh, she walked up to them.
“What’s the matter with the both of you? Did you guys have a fight?” she asked. No matter what happened, we should just come up with a solution. What’s the point of blaming each other?
“No. Who would dare to argue with him? He’s an influential government official!” William uttered sarcastically.
“Dad, I know I’ve neglected my family because I’ve been busy at work, but there’s really nothing I can do about it!” Lincoln explained. That’s just how my job is.
“Dad, Lincoln didn’t wish for this to happen. Even if he was there, what happened would still happen,” Sarah uttered. In fact, there was nothing anyone could do to change the outcome of the situation. No one saw it coming.
“Hmph! That’s enough. It’s frustrating talking to you guys,” William grumbled. They’re all just a bunch of troublemakers who make me worry every day.
William rose to his feet and went upstairs. He wanted to check on Ysabelle, but he quickly remembered Felix was still there. Hence, he changed his mind.
After Ysabelle was done showering and changing, Felix served her a glass of milk.
“Here. Drink this. It’ll help you sleep,” he said.
“Felix, do you find me dramatic? What happened wasn’t that big of a deal, was it? Yet, I made so many people worry about me,” she said.
Felix’s heart ached when he heard her say that. “That’s not true. You’re the best girl on earth, Ysabelle. Everyone just cares about you, that’s all. I’ll never let anything happen to you ever again.”
“Okay.” Ysabelle finished the milk and got into bed. However, she had trouble falling asleep.
“Felix, where’s my phone?” she asked. I wonder what would happen to my album after everything that unfolded during the press conference! Everyone worked so hard for my album, and I was very confident it would do well. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen in the end.
Felix was rendered speechless. Why is she still thinking about her album?
“Ysabelle, you need to rest now. Don’t worry about anything else. Sophie will settle everything for you,” he urged. If Sophie can’t even deal with such a minor issue, she shouldn’t be operating an agency.
Upon hearing that, Ysabelle blinked and stared at Felix. “Felix, are you mad at me? Your tone was so fierce.”
In response, Felix took a deep breath. Okay. I shouldn’t behave like this. Otherwise, I’ll make Ysabelle feel worse.
“No. I’m not mad at you. I just want you to take good care of yourself and not think about anything else.”
Ysabelle nodded in response. I know, but I can’t control my emotions, can I? A lot of people invested their time and effort in my album.
Words eluded Felix, and he simply nestled into the blanket and wrapped his arms around her. “All right. Shut your eyes and calm your mind. You need to sleep,” he demanded.
Ysabelle had never seen Felix behave so authoritatively before. Normally, she would throw a tantrum if someone spoke to her in such a tone. At that moment, however, she obediently shut her eyes. To her surprise, she fell asleep in his arms shortly after.
Felix couldn’t help heaving a sigh when he saw her sleeping peacefully. I did everything I can before the press conference to prevent such things from happening, so I didn’t expect the incident to happen under my watch. I’ve heard about those crazy fans, but it’s so infuriating knowing that such a thing happened to my own girlfriend.
Meanwhile, the public relations team of TS Entertainment had been busy managing the crisis. Since the press conference was broadcasted live, someone had already recorded the incident and published it on video streaming platforms.
Some netizens claimed that TS Entertainment staged the incident to boost publicity, while some speculated about the relationship between Ysabelle and the man who beat the other man up.
Obviously, TS Entertainment’s public relations team was more than capable of dealing with such matters. Hence, those discussions were shut down fairly quickly.
At the same time, the sales of Ysabelle’s album weren’t affected in any way. Since it was a matter concerning Ysabelle, Sophie remained at TS Entertainment to supervise the management personally.
Obviously, Sophie didn’t want the incident to affect an innocent girl like Ysabelle. Ysabelle is a celebrity under TS Entertainment, so I have the responsibility to protect her.
Tristan had full confidence in Sophie’s ability, and sure enough, the incident was wrapped up within a few hours.
Once she was done with her work, Tristan poured her a glass of water and massaged her shoulders. “All right. You’ve worked so hard. Have some water.”
In response, Sophie leaned on him and said, “I’m fine.”
Realizing that Tristan had been keeping her company the entire time, she urged, “You should head back to check on Ysabelle.”
“It’s actually not that big of a deal. Since she wants to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, she must have the required psychological endurance. Everyone around her is merely overreacting,” Tristan said.
In fact, what had happened was considered part and parcel of the entertainment industry.
“True.” Sophie knew he was merely spitting facts. The entertainment industry is complicated, and it’s difficult for one to gain a foothold in it. One must have a strong mentality to avoid suffering from depression.
