William glanced at Felix. âWhen have I ever bullied him? Why don't you ask him?â
Felix's strong survival instinct kicked in as he listened to William's words.
He immediately shook his head. âNo. Old Mr. Lombard likes me the most, so why would he bully
me? He never has!"
âThat's more like it. By the way, when are your uncle Tristan and Sophie coming back?â The wedding
is only a few months away. Shouldn't they return and start preparing for it? I want to help, but they
don't like it if I meddle in their business.
âGrandpa, donât worry. Uncle Tristan knows what heâs doing. He loves Sophie so much, so he
wouldn't skimp on their wedding.â Besides, even if he isn't in the country, Uncle Tristan has been
closely following the progress of the wedding preparations.
âAll right. You must be tired from your trip to Fandar. Go back and take a few days to rest. Don't
busy yourself with work as soon as you come back. One's health is oneâs most important asset.
What good would it do to swamp yourself with work all the time?
âAll right. I got it, Grandpa.â Ysabelle was exceptionally obedient that day as she didnât want to
worry anyone.
âI should take my leave now. My parents are also worried about me since I haven't been home for
such a long time.â
That was even more so after something as significant as that happened to him.
âOkay. You should go back now.â William could fathom how Felix's parents must felt. Instead of
going back to his own home upon returning to the country, Felix came here first. What else can I say
to that?
âI'll see you off.â Ysabelle swiftly stood up from the couch.
Felix had sent her home when he should've gone back to his own house first.
After all, his parents were worried sick about him.
William could only sigh, looking at their retreating figures from behind.
âDad, Felix is actually not a bad guy. You've watched him grow up, too, so shouldn't you feel at ease
to let him be with Ysabelle?â
âYes. That's his only virtue. All I hope now is for Ysabelle to be happy. It's fine as long as he doesn't
mistreat her.â
"Donât worry. We're all here, so who would dare to bully Ysabelle?â Everyone in the family doted on
Ysabelle, after all.
Ysabelle was still reluctant to part ways with Felix even when they got outside. âOff you go. Call me
when you get home.â
âOkay. I'll call you as soon as I'm home. Don't worry. Rest at home for a couple of days. You don't
need to return to work in such a rush.â
âI got it. Stop nagging me.â
"By the way, Sean and the others invited us for dinner tonight. I'll pick you up later.â
Felix had nearly escaped death. The moment he stepped out of the plane, Sean contacted him.
"Okay. I'll wait for you at home.â Ysabelle was overjoyed at the thought that they could meet again
that night.
Felix hugged her.
After sending Felix off, Ysabelle returned to the house to unpack her luggage. She no longer
regarded the current circumstances where the number of her followers dropped as a big deal.
At night, everyone gathered at Blossom Garden to have their dinner without Tristan and Sophie.
âWhen will Mr. Tristan and Sophie come back? It feels incomplete without them.â
âThey'll be back soon. With Mr. Tristan on the case, the issues should be resolved in no time.â
"You have a point.â
"So, have you two made up now?â After such a drama, everyone reckoned Felix and Ysabelle
must've reconciled.
"Yes. You all saw the news, didn't you?â Ysabelle wrapped her arms around Felixâs with a contented
expression on her face.
"Okay. That's good. You should treat Felix better in the future, Ysabelle. Otherwise, he might get
depressed and go looking for trouble.â
There wasn't any need for him to suffer such torment in the first place.
âThat's enough. Why are we talking about this now? We're doing fine, so stop worrying.â Felix
couldn't stand anyone criticizing Ysabelle. Not even a single berating remark was allowed.
"All right. We know you're very protective of her. We'll keep our mouths shut. Let's just eat.â
Felix had always been like that, forbidding anyone from saying a single bad thing about Ysabelle,
even if she had made him suffer plenty of grievances.
âWho should I defend if not my own girlfriend?â Ysabelle is the woman I love the most, so I can't
bear to see her be aggrieved
âThat's right. Everything you say is correct. We have no objections, but if you get bullied and cry in
the future, don't come to us to drown your sorrows,â Charles uttered in annoyance. Regardless of
how much they love their woman, they should still live by their set of principles. What's wrong with
them? Why are all of them becoming like this in front of the women they love?
âCharles, you don't understand love,â Felix retorted straightforwardly.
"Fine. If you say I donât understand, then I don't. Can we leave it at that?â Charles was genuinely
stumped.
âThat's enough. Can't we just enjoy a meal peacefully since we've finally reunited?â Sean spoke up,
finding their bickering truly annoying.
Meanwhile, at Fandar, everything progressed smoothly after Bertram received the things from
Sophie.
He was able to deal with those big shots in no time.
The big shots were enraged but couldn't do a thing about it since Bertram had dirt on them.
As a result, they didn't dare to say anything and could only yield.
In the past, the big shots were extremely arrogant, but all of them fell silent now.
Bertram was pleased with the outcome. Ms. Tanner is indeed a genius. There isnt any problem that
couldn't be solved as long as sheâs around.
Having resolved another big shot, Bertram walked with a spring in his step. It had been a long time
since he had felt that way. This is so exhilarating!
âMs. Tanner, you're really amazing. You're the most incredible person I've ever met.â Bertram
couldn't help but lavish praise upon seeing Sophie. Ms. Tanner's hacking skills are indeed
exceptional. I can compliment her for days on this subject alone!
âI'm glad you find the information useful.â Sophie always knew the most effective and fastest way to
straighten out a problem. âHowever, you need to be more careful. These people are no pushovers.â
If they were really exasperated, those big shots might no longer hold back and retaliate with all their
might.
At that moment, Bertram regarded Sophie as the most important person in his life and merely
greeted Tristan without much admiration at that point.
âIt seems like I've become irrelevant. All they care about is you now,â Tristan said with a sigh.
His fiancée was simply too outstanding and seemed to be able to captivate everyone in everything
she did unknowingly drawing the attention of all those around her.
âSo?â
"So, I feel this is great. At the very least, the person you like is me, right?â
Tristan thought that was an extremely wonderful feeling.
âYes!â Sophie replied.
They didn't need to get involved in the matters there as Bertram could handle it all.
Therefore, the couple treated their stay there as a vacation.
There was nothing special that needed to be done either.
âThe matters here should be sorted out within a few days. Who do you plan to have taken over
here?â Even if they had established order there, someone had to
