Chapter 924 Fed Up
“Come on. Do you have to react so strongly? It’s just a photoshoot. It’s not like we’re setting you up with him.”
Tristan stared at Ysabelle stonily.
“What’s the point of throwing a hissy fit now that Felix is gone when you didn’t cherish him in the first place?” he added.
“Tristan!” Sophie warned.
Didn’t I ask him to stop harping on this subject? Why won’t he listen?
Noticing the look Sophie was giving him, Tristan zipped up. Fine. I should listen to her.
“All right. Let’s dig in!” Mark, who was seated beside Ysabelle, patted her shoulder gently as consolation.
Ysabelle remained silent the entire time and didn’t utter a single word.
“Ysabelle, you should eat some! This fish is fresh and tastes pretty good!” Sunny showed her some care upon noticing she was feeling down.
“Excuse me while I head to the washroom.”
Ysabelle got to her feet. She’d lost her appetite after knowing how dangerous Fandar was and worried about Felix constantly.
Sophie hastily followed after Ysabelle.
Tristan, too, lost his appetite after Sophie went after Ysabelle. He regretted reprimanding Ysabelle so harshly. Great. My wife’s going to be mad at me now.
Ysabelle was smoking in the bathroom when she caught sight of Sophie coming in after her. She quickly disposed of her cigarette as smoking didn’t fit her image.
Sophie washed her hands and stood next to Ysabelle, keeping her company.
“Ysabelle, Felix went to Fandar for work. It has nothing to do with you.”
It didn’t make sense for Ysabelle to blame everything on herself. Imagine how exhausting and pointless it would be.
“Sophie, you don’t have to say anything to make me feel better. I’m perfectly aware that I’m the reason he went there.”
He wouldn’t have made the trip if she hadn’t behaved so unreasonably.
Ysabelle stepped close to Sophie and hugged her. She was feeling far too upset and anxious.
“I wish I could go and see him in Fandar, but I’d only end up being a burden instead of being of any help.”
I truly am such a worthless individual.

“How about this? If he still doesn’t come back by the time my wedding photoshoot is over, I’ll go with you to see him in Fandar.”
“Are you serious?”
“Of course. I hope you’d forgive Tristan for chiding you earlier. He only said such things because he treats Felix like his own brother.”
“Has he forgotten that I’m his niece? He has gone too far!”
“I know. I’ll give him a piece of my mind later.”
“Please do!”
Ysabelle felt much better at that.
“Come on, let’s go back. We’re in the middle of a meal.”
“Okay.”
Everyone headed home separately after dinner. Sunny insisted on being included in the wedding photoshoot when Sophie and Tristan informed him and Mark of the date.
Tristan and Sophie returned to their mansion after dropping Ysabelle back home.
“Do you have anything planned for tomorrow? Tristan asked while wrapping her in his embrace.
“I’ll be paying a visit to the medical association after taking a few days off. Tanner Group is vying for a noteworthy case, and I intend to supervise the proceedings.”
Though Victor was capable enough for the job, she still needed to be present this round for a case of such utmost importance.
“Okay, then. I thought you had some free time tomorrow.” Tristan wished to spend more time with her. He was thinking of going on a date or to the movies with her like other ordinary couples usually did.
“What about you? Do you have anything planned?” She didn’t seem to recall having any activities planned with him the next day. Besides, it was still several days before their wedding photoshoot.
“No.”
He was merely bored and wished to bring her to the movies to watch a new show that was just released.
“There’s going to be a movie screening tomorrow night starring Cecelia. Why don’t we watch it after work?”
“Sure!”
Whoever was the main lead in the movie didn’t matter to Tristan as long as Sophie was with him. Besides, Cecelia was a pretty decent actor.
“I couldn’t make it to the premier of Cecelia’s new movie. We should show our support tomorrow by booking the entire theatre.”
Chapter 924 Fed Up
“Will do.” Tristan knew how close Sophie and Cecelia were. Now that Cecilia was at TS, she had access to the best resources imaginable.
Her latest release was a literary movie.
The movie’s rating was high, but it wasn’t doing particularly well at the box office due to its genre.
“I suppose Cecelia must be feeling rather frustrated. Literary films typically aren’t as highly-grossing as commercial films.”
“She won’t have any complaints as long as it’s my decision. Since she’s a newly-crowned star actress, I’m confident she’ll win an award with this movie. Moreover, it’s certainly going to be a prestigious international award.”
“You sure sound confident.”
“But of course! I adore this movie’s screenwriter.” She had been in awe the moment she read the script.
“If I recall correctly, isn’t the screenwriter a guy? Fond of him, are you?”
“Don’t tell me you’re being jealous! I admit having taken a liking to him because of his talent and intend to continue collaborating with him.”
She did in fact think highly of gifted screenwriters.
“I don’t like it when you pay attention to other men, even if what you feel for them is just plain admiration.”
“Tristan, you have to believe that I love you the most. What I feel for everyone else is at most admiration, that’s all
“By the way, are you seriously letting Mark join our wedding photoshoot?” asked Tristan. Everyone knows he has feelings for Sophie. Wouldn’t it seem odd to let him join?
“Mark treats me well. I don’t see any issue with him and Sunny being part of our wedding photoshoot. What’s wrong? I’ll tell Mark not to come over if you feel uncomfortable about it.”
“Never mind. I’ll just think of him as your brother. I acknowledge they have always been nice to you and did play an integral role in your life before we met. It’s just a wedding photoshoot, so it’s not a big deal.”
Sophie hugged him even tighter.
“Tristan, I’ve always known you’re a magnanimous person who wouldn’t take such a trivial matter to heart.
A wedding photoshoot would be so boring with just the two of them. The presence of friends and family would make it much more meaningful.
“Your praise is music to my ears.” Tristan relented only because he understood the importance of Mark and the others to Sophie.
It had been some time since Sophie last set foot in Tanner Group. Nevertheless, Victor still reported all of the organization’s happenings to her.

Everyone treated Sophie like a deity of fortune ever since the incident with the year-end bonus.
The employees at the headquarters beamed brightly when they saw her and greeted her politely.
She headed straight to Victor’s office to prevent causing an even bigger commotion amongst the staff. Victor knew about her arrival and wanted to head downstairs to escort her, but she’d refused.
“Welcome, Ms. Sophic.”
The secretary hurriedly opened the door of the general manager’s office upon seeing Sophie enter. Victor had been focusing all his attention on Tanner Group recently. He dedicated his heart and soul to it and was convinced that Tanner Group was more important than his family business.
