Chapter 953
Chapter 953 Unknown Fate
Bertram naturally recognized Winter; he just never expected such a high and mighty woman to end up in such an embarrassing state.
After all, she had always been Walter’s favorite daughter. It was just a shame that she didn’t have the best taste and insisted on liking Tristan.
Doesn’t she realize who he is? He’s not someone she can play tricks on!
Winter called out to Tristan as she watched him leave.
“Tristan! Have you really never liked me a single bit?” She had been so fixated on him all this while, but in the end, was this love only one-sided?
The woman thought he would at least answer her. Yet, he didn’t even look back.
Tears spilled down the sides of her eyes. It was then she knew he would never like her.
It was also about time she put a stop to this one-sided love.
Seeing that she was Charles’ sister, Bertram gave her two pieces of tissue.
“Don’t cry. Ms. Quigley. I’ll arrange to have someone pick you up. There are plenty of other guys a woman like you can choose from, so don’t be upset!” He didn’t really know how to console someone, but he tried his best after seeing the way she was sobbing her heart out.
“Am I that terrible of a woman, Bertram? Why won’t he ever acknowledge me? What makes Sophie better than me?”
Bertram paused. Should I be honest? But she’s already so upset. She’ll flood the entire place if I tell her the truth.
“You’re amazing. Ms. Quigley. It’s just that Mr. Tristan isn’t into you. That’s why he doesn’t realize how good you are. All right. I have other things to take care of, so I’ll get someone to take you to the airport.” He couldn’t afford to waste any more time on her.
With that, he quickly called for someone.
“She’s the third daughter of the Quigley family. Take her to the airport. I’ve already arranged her flight so she can head straight back to Jipsdale.”
Fandar was far too dangerous now.
After Winter had left, Bertram immediately gave Charles a call.
“Hello, Mr. Quigley. Your sister’s flight has been taken care of. Do keep a lookout on your end.”
“Thanks, Bertram. I’ll buy you a meal when you come back.”
Charles was certainly worried about his sister, but he hadn’t had the time to get someone to bring her back as Felix’s fate remained unknown.
“I don’t deserve the credit. Mr. Tristan helped her because of Ms. Tanner.” It wasn’t as though they didn’t
know what Tristan was like; he never would’ve bothered with Winter if it weren’t for Sophie.
“I know.” Sophie was always this magnanimous.
She never wanted to make Winter’s life hard. It was the latter who didn’t know her place and kept trying to make Tristan recognize her existence.
“All right, I’ll talk to you later. Things are really busy here.” They had to deal with so many other forces while also looking for Felix, who remained missing.
“Is there still no news on Felix?” Charles’ expression looked particularly grim.
The men had been friends since young, but now, no one knew what had happened to Felix. Charles and Sean couldn’t head over personally as they were caught up with all the affairs in Jipsdale, but they were still extremely worried.
“Not yet. The longer this goes on, the lower our chances of saving him.”
Most importantly, they didn’t even know if Felix was still alive.
That was the most concerning part.
“I understand, Bertram. Give it your all and save him.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Quigley. We’re all trying our best. Mr. Tristan and Ms. Tanner are here too. With them around, you can rest easy. Anyway, I have to get back to work, so I’ll talk to you next time.”
It had been a few days since Bertram last slept. He just didn’t have the time to rest.
After hanging up. Charles immediately had someone check the flight details that Bertram had sent and arranged for them to wait on Winter.
Walter was relieved to learn that his daughter was returning. He had been on edge ever since he heard about what had happened at Fandar.
Meanwhile, Sophie walked in to see Ysabelle still watching those videos.
The latter had spent so long staring at the computer screen that her eyes had turned red and dry.
However, she didn’t mind as long as she could find Felix.
Sophie couldn’t help but sigh.
Seeing Ysabelle in such an awful state made her feel sorry for the former.
“You should get some rest. Your eyes won’t be able to take it if you keep this up.”
“You don’t have to worry about me, Sophie. I’m fine. This is the only thing I can do, so I want to do it well.” She knew how busy everyone else was, so she refused to sit back and do nothing.
“Well, at least eat something! Felix would be so worried if he found out that you haven’t rested.”
“Would he even find out? It’s been so long, but we still haven’t gotten any news on him. Is he…”
Ysabelle dared not finish her sentence, but her tears wouldn’t stop flowing.
She hastily rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands. Then, she forced a smile and put up a brave front.
Yet, that only made her look more pitiful.
“I know you’re sad, Ysabelle, but no news is good news, right? Besides, Felix is a really tough guy. He’ll be just fine.”
At this point, they could only trust Felix.
Ysabelle nodded.
“I know how capable he is. I believe in him too. He’ll definitely come back safe and sound.”
She didn’t want to waste everyone’s time or affect their mood.
“Have some food. We’ll all do our best.” The more time went by, the lower Felix’s chances of survival. Even so, giving their best efforts was all they could do now.
After comforting Ysabelle and getting her to eat, Sophie and Tristan headed out. They had yet to have their lunch.
“Hello, Mr. Tristan. Ms. Quigley has boarded the plane.” Bertram reported.
“Got it. Get some rest, Bertram.” Judging from those dark circles, Sophie knew the man hadn’t slept for a long time.
“I’m fine, Ms. Tanner. I can keep going.” There was no way Bertram could rest now.
“No, you should rest and recover. We’ll have a lot more work to do when the time comes.” After confirming Felix’s whereabouts, they would still have to rescue him.
“Go, Tristan added.
Now that the man himself had given the order, Bertram obliged and took a nap. He, too, knew that a tough battle awaited them.
He didn’t fear the battle itself; he was only worried about Felix’s well-being.
How are we going to make it up to the Northley family if anything happens to him? After all, he was with us.
Sophie only had a little to eat. She wasn’t too fond of the food here, but it wasn’t as though she could call a Chanaean chef over during such dangerous times.
“Are you full?” Seeing that she didn’t eat much, Tristan gazed at her in concern. “I know everyone’s anxious, but you should still take good care of yourself no matter what.”
“Yeah, I know. We should be receiving some news soon enough.” With Arthur’s help, they could surely locate Felix.
