Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 139 Am I Ranked Last

was very cold, she still liked to wear dresses. She only wears a woolen jacket on top of her dress.Upon applying her makeup and casually tying her hair into a bun, she was ready to head to Sophie’s place.However, Tristan stopped Ysabelle before she could leave.“What are you doing, Uncle Tristan? Sophie is waiting for me to join her on an important matter. I need to leave now. If you have something to say, tell me about it after I come back.” It had been days since she last saw Sophie, which was why she really missed her friend. After all, Sophie had been getting so wrapped up in her matters for the past few days that Ysabelle didn’t even have a chance to meet her. Ysabelle couldn’t help but wonder what kind of important matter was keeping her friend busy.“Can you stay home today? Your dad’s heading back right now, and he asked me to tell you to wait for him at home. Are you sure you still want to leave?” Tristan kindly reminded.“What? No way. Why is my dad back today? Why does it have to be now? Do you have anything to do with this, Uncle Tristan? Isn’t my dad really busy? Why would he come back home today when it’s not Friday?” Her father usually only returned on Friday, which made her guess his decision to come home that day.Tristan gave her a scary look, so she spoke in a rather unhappy tone. “What do I do now? I can’t just let Soph attend Cecelia’s movie premiere by herself. It’s too pitiful to let her go there alone. Please, just let me go with her, Uncle Tristan. If my dad looks for me, please put a good word in for me. That way he will surely let me off. I beg you. Pretty please?”Ysabelle blinked as she gave him a pitiful look.“No! Your dad seems really angry this time, so you’d better wait for him to come home and talk to him yourself. I don’t know who posted the video of you and Sophie singing in the KTV on the internet, but it’s trending right now.”Lincoln never wanted Ysabelle to enter the entertainment industry, so he was really surprised when his daughter became famous like that. That short video had accumulated over two million views.“Video? What video? I don’t know anything about that,” Ysabelle was confused.Tristan was kind enough to show the video to her. “You always said you want to become a singer, right? Perhaps this is a good start for you to talk to your dad about it. No matter what happens, you should at least try to fight for that chance. This way, you won’t regret it in the future.”She was frustrated. Why did things turn out like this? Yes, I want to rebel and change things, but I didn’t expect the opportunity would come so soon. I still want to study at a university somewhere in the south after I graduate from high school. Once I leave Jipsdale, I’ll be able to do whatever I want.“Will my dad listen to me, Uncle Tristan? You know how stubborn he is. All the men in the Lombard family are stubborn! They don’t like to listen to anyone.”“That’s your problem to solve. There are things I have to deal with, so I’ll be leaving now,” Tristan said.“Soph is still waiting for me at Wisteria Apartments, Uncle Tristan! How about you accompany her to attend Cecelia’s movie premiere instead? I don’t want her to go alone because I’m afraid she’ll get bullied.”“I see! Since you want me to go there so badly, I’ll head over there, then.”Ysabelle’s heart was bleeding silently. She wanted to go too, but with her father returning soon, she didn’t dare to leave the house.Sophie returned to Wisteria Apartments and opened the box Cecelia asked someone to send to her. Inside was a black dress with a simple design. Nevertheless, anyone could tell it was
