Chapter 746 Worthwhile

“Do you want the truth?” Sarah asked as she drove.

“Yeah, tell me the truth,” Ysabelle replied.

“Do you remember how your grandfather asked you to learn self-defense, and you gave up?” Sarah probed. Is she under the impression that the training camp is open to anyone?

Ysabelle conceded defeat. All she wanted was to help the people around her; she did not want to see them tire themselves.

“Well, you have good intentions. Don't worry. They are all quite capable, so they won't require your protection. Just be with Felix, and everyone will be relieved!” Sarah assured.

Disappointed by her reply, Ysabelle uttered, “Okay.” She would not have been in this predicament if she had persisted in the past.

The meeting that Tristan was attending at Lombard Group was very important.

All the high-level executives were also present. As he listened to the proposals, Tristan's face became increasingly displeased. Even the general manager sitting next to him dared not breathe heavily.

“All right, it seems that everyone is not well-prepared today. Continuing this meeting would be a waste of time. I will give you all one more day. If your proposal is still mediocre, I'll have to hire new people!” Tristan said sternly. There were many talented people in this day and age. They could not blame him for being ruthless if they continued with their poor attitudes.

No one dared to object, and they all quietly left the room.

“You, stay!” Tristan instructed the general manager to remain.

The man started sweating profusely, trying to find the right words to say. He had truly done his best! “Mr. Tristan, I...”

“I think Lombard Group will need a new general manager if there is no improvement in standards for the next proposal,” Tristan warned.

The general manager could only stay silent.

“Okay, you can go now. I will only give you two days!” After Tristan spoke, he threw his pen onto the conference table.

Feeling fearful, the general manager dared not say anything and left quietly.

If Tristan had known their proposal would be of such poor standards, he would have accompanied Sophie to Anglandur.

What a disappointment! Sophie and the others should be arriving soon, right?

Right as he thought of that, his phone rang.

“We've landed. Has your meeting ended?” Sophie asked cheerily.

“Yeah. Take care of yourself!” It was pointless to say anything more. Tristan could only hope that she would take care of herself.

“Don't worry, I will.” After hanging up the phone, Sophie discovered that everyone had disembarked from the plane. Hence, she quickly walked out to catch up with the rest.

“Damn, it's so cold!” Arius complained.

“Yeah, it's really cold!” Butterfly zipped up her jacket and carried her black handbag.

Ever since Barney got off the plane, his expression had been solemn. There were too many things he had to deal with on this trip.

Upon noticing Barney's glum demeanor, Sophie walked over and said, “Dr. Smith, didn't I tell you there's no need to worry?”

Barney pretended to relax and assured her, “I know. Well, it's getting late. Let's go to Arius' hotel first!” Despite having their own dwellings, it had been a long time since they visited and tidied their houses. Hence, they chose to stay at a hotel instead.

“Come on, let's go!”

The four of them had not brought anyone else on this trip. However, there were several people following them not far away.

After leaving the airport, the bodyguards arranged by Tristan spotted them and began following them. There were more than twenty bodyguards.

“Did Mr. Tristan arrange this?” Butterfly noticed the guards as soon as she left the airport. Given that she had been with Sophie for a long time, she was naturally more observant than ordinary people.

“Yeah!”

“To be honest, men like Tristan are really rare in this world!” Butterfly could not help but exclaim.

Although Tristan could not come with them, he had arranged for many bodyguards to follow them. Even if anything did occur, it would be easier to address with their assistance.

“Yeah.” Sophie's expression softened when she heard the man's name.

She had no objections to his arrangements. Although she had her own influence here, the feeling of arranging things herself and having someone else do it for her was different.

Arius snorted. “Is he really that good? If he is, he should have come with us.”

Now that Tristan isn't here, it's an excellent time to slander him. Otherwise, when will I get another opportunity?
