Chapter 443

“Mrs. Tanner, please stop talking,” Morgan snapped when he saw the gloomy look on Josiah's face.

Upon saying her piece, Charmaine turned around and stormed off as she saw no reason to back

down.

Despite painstakingly raising three children, this is my reward. How can this be fair? Having spent so

many years in the Tanner family, I'm sure my efforts must count for something!

Speechless, Josiah shook his head.

“All right now, I'm fine. Just give Sophie a call.” I'm nothing but a failure to have allowed the

situation to end up this way.

“Right away.”

The moment Sophie received the call, she dropped whatever she was doing and rushed over.

Upon her arrival, Morgan summarized what happened to her.

Despite Grandpa's old age, they keep causing problems to make him worry.

Sophie felt bad for her grandfather, as within the Tanner family, no one understood him at all

“Grandpa, don't worry. Didn't I tell you that I'll deal with it?”

“Soph, I know both of you are estranged, but she’s still my granddaughter. I really don't want to see

her live in regret.”

Even though Josiah knew it was wrong to blackmail Sophie emotionally, there was no one else in

the family he could turn to.

"Grandpa, Do you not trust me when I told you not to worry?”

For the sake of her grandfather, Sophie was still capable of resolving the matter.

“In that case, you have to act fast. Otherwise, it would be too late once they have gotten married.”

Since it was impossible for her to let Clayton off the hook, the only option she had was to stop the

wedding.

“All right. Anyway, I'm sure you must be bored staying at home all day, right? Why don't I invite a

few of your old comrades to go on a trip with you?”

A trip to a nearby mountain resort would do him some good. It's not far and isn't too physically

demanding.

"Okay. I'll leave the arrangements to you then.”

Josiah, too, didn't want to stay at home and get on everyone else's nerves.

"Okay. In that case, you should prepare to leave first thing tomorrow morning.”

I remember that Grandpa has a few close friends. I'll invite all of them then!

After spending two hours with Josiah, Sophie left when she had nothing else to do.

“Morgan, you should drop everything at home and go with Grandpa to the mountain resort.”

Wherever Josiah went, he would make sure Morgan was by his side.

“Will do, Ms. Sophie. Don't worry. I'll definitely take good care of Old Mr. Tanner.” Sophie didn't

have to worry as long as he was by Josiah's side.

"I appreciate everything that you've done recently.”

“Ms. Sophie, I'm willing to do anything for the sake of Old Mr. Tanner.”

Upon Sophie's return to TS Entertainment, Ysabelle was already waiting for her.

“Sophie, you're finally back. Hurry up and pack, as we need to go to school now to fill out our

choice of university.”

It was necessary for them to make a trip there because the website could only be accessed from the

school intranet.

Sophie glanced at the time.

“Let's just do it here instead.” It's just too troublesome to run around filling up some forms.

“Fill them here? Are we allowed to do that? Don't you know that it's compulsory for us to do it in

school?”

"With me around, everything's possible.” Sophie led Ysabelle to her office and turned on her

computer.

Standing by the side, Ysabelle watched Sophie's fingers dance across the keyboard until they

reached the university application page.

"Sophie, your hacking skills are amazing!” Ysabelle exclaimed. “To be honest, I wonder if there's

anything in this world that you don't know.”

“There is. Plenty in fact,” Sophie replied earnestly. She then asked, “What do you plan to put as your

first choice?”

Sophie had logged in without needing to ask for Ysabelle's account username and password.

Ysabelle pondered upon the question.

“Put Jipsdale University as my first choice.” This is the only thing I can promise my dad. Since Dad

objected to me joining the entertainment industry, he would blow his top if I were to reject his

choice of university.

"Have you made up your mind?”

Sophie felt that the choice required careful consideration.

“Il have.”

"Good. And which major will you choose?”

“International trade and finance!” In the end, Ysabelle decided not to let her father down.

Sophie said, “All right. When you no longer feel like singing, you can go on to do something else.”

Life is filled with possibilities. The choices made now don't determine the rest of one's life.

“That will never happen. I know how much I love doing it,” Ysabelle replied. Chasing my passion is

the only reason why I disobeyed my father in the first place.

Even though her father was strict, she knew that he had her best interests at heart.

Working in the entertainment industry was a tough slog, and that was the reason why her father

was reluctant to let her join it.

“All right. Regardless of what you have chosen, you have my full support.” Sophie had already

completed the application for her.

After filling up Ysabelle's subsequent choices, Sophie exited the former's account and logged into

her own.

"What about you? Have you decided?” I'm sure she has already made up her mind.

"Ysabelle, I'm not going to Jipsdale University.”

Jipsdale University might be the best university in the city with many students dying to get into it,

but Sophie felt as if there was nothing more she could learn there.

"What? You're not going?” Can we still hang out in the future if that's the case? Ysabelle continued

to ask, “Where do you plan to go then?”

“The University of Medicine right next to Jipsdale University.”

“I see. I think it's a good choice too. At the very least, the two schools are close to each other, and I

can see you whenever I miss you.”

After all, Ysabelle had no intention of being apart from Sophie.

“Now that you're an artiste under TS Entertainment's stable, we'll still see each frequently, anyway.”

“But I still want to see you in school!” Ysabelle whined. It's even better if we could travel to school

together.

“Fine. All that matters is that you're happy.” Sophie had no further comments about the matter.

“Sophie, what's with that indifferent attitude of yours? At the very least, show some enthusiasm, or

it'll look as if the feeling isn't mutual!”

It's embarrassing for me!

“I'm happy to be studying in the school next to yours. Satisfied?”

“Mmm-hmm, indeed I am!” Ysabelle nodded.

There was no way she would say otherwise in front of Sophie, who was the idol she adored.

"Sophie, to be honest, I think you're ready to go professional. The way you performed on the stage

was absolutely mesmerizing!”

If she launches her career, I'm sure men and women alike will be captivated by her!

In response, Sophie said, “All right now, that'll be all with regard to this matter.”
