Chapter 9 Do Not Doubt His Words
Seeing that they had all left, Felix instantly made a call.
“Hey, have Zales Corporation vanish from Jipsdale in three hours.”
Only then did Selena realize the gravity of the matter.
“Who exactly are you both?”
Her knees went weak, and she couldn’t quite remain steady on her feet anymore.
“Well, he’s Tristan Lombard, whom you mentioned earlier! You wanted his niece to apologize to you? How audacious of you!”
“Tristan Lombard? He’s really Tristan Lombard?” Selena collapsed onto the couch. Gah! Why on earth did I say such things just now?
“Mr. Quillen, the Lombard family doesn’t want Ysabelle’s identity to leak out. As such, you’re not allowed to breathe a single word about the incident today.”
The Lombard family merely wanted to give Ysabelle a simple life.
“Sure, sure!” Rhett no longer dared to say anything contrary by then.
After all, it was Tristan Lombard. A single flick of his finger could have the whole of Jipsdale quaking in fear.
“As for you, Mrs. Zales, it’s best that you leave Jipsdale quickly. Don’t doubt Mr. Tristan’s words.”
Having said that, Felix strode off.
Despite my remark, Sophie was the main reason Mr. Tristan came personally today. In the past, even if Ysabelle encountered some sort of problem, he only sent us over. Does he really fancy her that much?
Meanwhile, Ysabelle was over the moon that Tristan came to school personally to help her.
“Thank you, Uncle Tristan! Don’t tell my father about this. Otherwise, he’ll kill me.”
“Yeah, I got it.”
“Uncle Tristan, this is my classmate and best friend, Sophie. She only got into trouble with Yvonne today because she avenged me.” Ysabelle adored Sophie.
“Have you eaten?” It’s noon now, and they probably hadn’t had lunch.
“Nope. Are you planning to treat me to lunch, Uncle Tristan? Okay, then! I want to eat the cuisine at Pegasus Pavilion!”
