"How could you disgrace the Lombard family like this? From now on, don't tell people that you are
my child if you choose to sing. Deal with all the mess you made in the entertainment industry by
yourself. I will not clean up after you.â With that, Lincoln strode off in anger.
The resentment within Ysabelle intensified as she watched her father's retreating figure.
I only want to sing. It's not like I'm doing something terrible. Why won't he let me?
Sarah patted Ysabelle's cheeks as the latter looked forlorn.
âHey. You're going to be all right. You know your dad has a bad temper. Just ignore him and do
what you're passionate about. You can count on your Uncle Tristan and me,â Sarah said
encouragingly.
âThank you, Aunt Sarah.â Ysabelle hugged Sarah.
The only people who understand me are Aunt Sarah and Uncle Tristan. I love singing and will never
give it up. That's it.
"Okay. Let's go. Sophie is still waiting for you in the car.â Tristan wrapped his arm around Ysabelle's
shoulder and led her out.
Then the two hopped into the car.
Sophie rolled down the window and greeted Sarah before they left.
"What's wrong?â Sophie asked upon noticing Ysabelle's expression
âMy dad still doesn't want me to make my debut! Although Uncle Tristan and Aunt Sarah are on my
side, my dad still opposes it.â
âIt's okay. He will slowly accept it in the future once you do well. Some people just have
conservative values, and they can't change their views at once.â
Sophie felt they should let it be since there was nothing they could do to change Lincoln's mind.
With time, everything would get better.
"Sophie, do you think I will really be successful? Like very successful? Or is this my wishful thinking?â
Ysabelle still found it hard to believe.
A crease appeared between Sophie's brows
"Why are you still struggling on this matter even after you've decided to debut? Put aside these
useless thoughts and work hard.â
All she should do is give her best as she marches toward her dream.
Nothing else matters.
Ysabelle nodded.
âAll right. I got it.â
She knew what Sophie said was right.
Tristan drove to TS Entertainment. Starting today, Ysabelle would be receiving comprehensive
training here.
Sophie brought Ysabelle to the company today to get familiar with the place.
Tristan had nothing else to do, so he tagged along.
Knowing that this was her first time coming here, Mark and his band stayed in the company to
welcome Ysabelle.
As soon as they saw her, Sunny handed a bouquet of roses to her.
âWelcome,â Sunny greeted warmly.
At last, TS Entertainment would have another artiste other than The Wheelers. He believed the
company would do even better in the future.
Ysabelle took the flowers and said, âThank you, Sunny!"
To that, Sunny patted on her shoulder.
"Sing well since you like to sing. Feel free to ask us anything if you have any questions,â he said
sincerely.
Ysabelle nodded.
"Okay. You guys should go on with your work.â Sophie told Mark and the boys. She thought they
must be busy with work and didn't want to take their time
âSure, we'll be off now. Don't worry. No one will dare to bully Ysabelle with us around,â Mark said.
âJonathan, don't you think they have too packed a schedule recently? Don't just focus on publicity,
the membersâ health is important too!â
Since the release of their new album, the members had been promoting it and hadn't been resting
well.
âNow's the golden time for promotion. How can they rest now?â Jonathan responded immediately.
He knew how tired The Wheelers had been lately since he had been by their side, but it was
inevitable.
That was the only way to survive in the entertainment industry.
Everything would be over the day the fans stopped giving the artiste attention. By then, one could
rest all they wanted to.
âTake it easy. Give them a day off.â The members seemed to be unable to handle their hectic
schedules any longer.
Sunny felt emotional.
âSophie, I'm being serious. You're the best boss in the world. How can there be such an outstanding
boss like you?â
A person's health should be prioritized although earning money is just as important.
Jonathan nodded at once.
"Sure. I'll make the necessary arrangements right away.â
Clayton had never said something similar before.
Indeed, people are vastly different from one another.
Mark had been feeling exhausted recently, so he didn't refuse her suggestion.
Anyhow, health is of the utmost importance.
"As their manager, Jonathan, you should make arrangements like this yourself. Don't make me
remind you again.â
âDo I have the authority to do this?â
"Yes. I said so.â Sophie would be worn out if she had to do everything herself.
"All right.â Jonathan was excited.
His authority had always been limited even though he had been working as a manager for a long
time.
There were many things he couldn't decide on his own.
Jonathan had always hoped for The Wheelers to do even better, but his proposals were rejected
each time.
Finally, he had his chance.
He sincerely believed that The Wheelers would become the top band in the music industry under
Sophie's lead.
Suddenly, he was full of confidence.
âJonathan, you must be thrilled! Aren't you glad that you followed us to TS Entertainment?â Sunny
said jokingly.
Jonathan nodded at once.
âYes! Coming to TS Entertainment with you boys is the best decision I have made in my life,â he
answered excitedly.
âAll right. Go on with your work.â
Sophie felt that this was her duty.
Making money was important, but making the employees happy was also very important.
Before leaving, Mark said to Sophie, âI'll see you later. Wait for me.â
âSure. I'll wait for you to return before I leave.â
Why can't he tell me over the phone?
Then, Sophie brought Ysabelle to her office.
Her office was huge and was decorated according to her style, simple and clean.
âI can't believe it, Sophie! You've really become a domineering CEO.â
How can there be such a vast difference between us?
"Ysabelle, you should go for your training now.â
Right after Sophie finished her sentence, a girl in a high ponytail knocked on the door and entered
the office.
âMs. Tanner, I'm Samantha Jones.â
âJust call me Sophie.â Sophie wasn't used to people addressing her that way. âBy the way, this is
Ysabelle Lombard. She is going to be a singer signed under TS Entertainment. You should handle
her for now.â
âSure, Ms. Tanner,â Samantha immediately responded. âHello, Ms. Lombard. I am Samantha.â
"Samantha, please bring Ysabelle to see Mr. Tannen in the practice room.â
âMr. Tannen?" Ysabelle was stunned.
Is it the person I'm thinking of?
âYes. What's wrong?â Sophie thought she had made herself clear.
Ysabelle swiftly shook her head.
No. It can't be the person I'm thinking about. Mr. Tannen has announced that he wouldn't sign with
any company.
