Pursuing Her Chapter 139

Chapter 139 Am I Ranked Last

“Can you stop being so serious, Sophie? I've never seen you look so serious before,” Arius

uttered.He had obtained all the results.Things weren't looking good, but it wasn't hopeless

either.”What's his situation now? Don't joke with me. I'm not in the mood right now.” Sophie's

expression darkened.Of course, Arius knew not to joke with her about her grandfather. He knew

how important the old man was to her. “Relax, I got it! I already sent the information to Dr.

Smith.”"He more or less knew what was going on, but there was one key question he needed an

answer from his mentor.”ls it necessary to inform Dr. Smith about this?” Sophie's expression

darkened further.Arius approached her and patted her shoulder. “There's nothing you need to worry

about with me around. Didn't I tell you it's not going to be a problem? I just want to make sure I

didn't get anything wrong.”I believe you.” She let out a small sigh. If Arius can’t do it, then there's

no other way.Since Arius had just returned, the director of the hospital wanted to see him. Thus, he

didn't leave with her.Once she was out of the hospital, she saw Willow. I guess she has been waiting

for me.When Willow saw that Sophie was out, the former blocked her path.Sophie furrowed her

eyebrows."Get out of my way,” she uttered mercilessly. I have no patience in dealing with her right

now.“Tell me the truth, Sophie. Do you still like Mason?” Willow wasn't willing to accept the

truth.She felt really bitter. I don't see how I'm worse than Sophie. Why is it that Mason can only

think about her even after so many years?”It's none of your business.” Sophie directly pushed

Willow away and prepared to leave in a taxi.”Hah.” It was then Willow hoped Mason's legs would

never recover because that would mean he wouldn't be able to stay with Sophie After leaving the

hospital, Sophie contacted Ysabelle.Ysabelle was all happy and in a good form when she answered

Sophie's call."Have you finished with your matters, Sophie? Didn't you say you want to attend

Cecelia’s movie premiere? I think it's tonight. Do you have time to go?” She only paid attention to

Cecelia’s new movie because of Sophie.”Where are you right now? I'll come and pick you up,”

Sophie suggested.”I'm at the Lombard residence right now. You don't need to pick me up. This

place is too remote, and it's hard to get a taxi here. I'll ask the driver to send me to Wisteria

Apartments. You can just wait for me there.”Due to William, the Lombard residence was built on a

spot halfway up the mountain. It really would be inconvenient for a taxi to drive up there.Ysabelle

changed into a beautiful dress. Even though Jipsdale's winter 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 very high quality with just one

glance.There was also a note on the box that read: To Sophie. This is a dress I specially bought for

you from overseas! You must wear it. Otherwise, our friendship is overiThere was a doodle of a silly

face behind the note.Sophie was quite speechless, but she still removed the dress from the box and

changed into it. Then she let her hair down.Upon hearing a knocking sound on the door, she went

to open it before she could tie her hair up because she thought Ysabelle had arrived.She didn't at all

expect the person standing outside to be Tristan instead of Ysabelle. “Why are you here, Tristan? I'm

sorry, but I already have a date with Ysabelle. I can't join you for dinner today.”"He pressed his hands

on the walls, basically locking her between his arms and the wall. “Do I rank last among the people

you know, Sophie?”
