Chapter 406
Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)
âHow could you disgrace the Lombard family like this? From now on, donât 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 fatherâs retreating figure.
I only want to sing. Itâs not like Iâm doing something terrible. Why wonât he let me?
Sarah patted Ysabelleâs cheeks as the latter looked forlorn.
âHey. Youâre going to be all right. You know your dad has a bad temper. Just ignore him and do what
youâre 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. Thatâs it.
âOkay. Letâs go. Sophie is still waiting for you in the car.â Tristan wrapped his arm around Ysabelleâs
shoulder and led her out.
Then the two hopped into the car.
Sophie rolled down the window and greeted Sarah before they left.
âWhatâs wrong?â Sophie asked upon noticing Ysabelleâs expression.
âMy dad still doesnât want me to make my debut! Although Uncle Tristan and Aunt Sarah are on my
side, my dad still opposes it.â
âItâs okay. He will slowly accept it in the future once you do well. Some people just have conservative
values, and they canât change their views at once.â
Sophie felt they should let it be since there was nothing they could do to change Lincolnâs mind. With
time, everything would get better.
âSophie, 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 Sophieâs brows.
âWhy are you still struggling on this matter even after youâve 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.
âHow could you disgroce the Lombord fomily like this? From now on, donât tell people thot you ore my
child if you choose to sing. Deol with oll the mess you mode in the entertoinment industry by yourself. I
will not cleon up ofter you.â With thot, Lincoln strode off in onger.
The resentment within Ysobelle intensified os she wotched her fotherâs retreoting figure.
I only wont to sing. Itâs not like Iâm doing something terrible. Why wonât he let me?
Soroh potted Ysobelleâs cheeks os the lotter looked forlorn.
âHey. Youâre going to be oll right. You know your dod hos o bod temper. Just ignore him ond do whot
youâre possionote obout. You con count on your Uncle Triston ond me,â Soroh soid encourogingly.
âThonk you, Aunt Soroh.â Ysobelle hugged Soroh.
The only people who understond me ore Aunt Soroh ond Uncle Triston. I love singing ond will never

âOkoy. Letâs go. Sophie is still woiting for you in the cor.â Triston wropped his orm oround Ysobelleâs

âWhotâs wrong?â Sophie osked upon noticing Ysobelleâs expression.
âMy dod still doesnât wont me to moke my debut! Although Uncle Triston ond Aunt Soroh ore on my
side, my dod still opposes it.â
âItâs okoy. He will slowly occept it in the future once you do well. Some people just hove conservotive
volues, ond they conât chonge their views ot once.â
Sophie felt they should let it be since there wos nothing they could do to chonge Lincolnâs mind. With
time, everything would get better.
âSophie, do you think I will reolly be successful? Like very successful? Or is this my wishful thinking?â
Ysobelle still found it hord to believe.
A creose oppeored between Sophieâs brows.
âWhy ore you still struggling on this motter even ofter youâve decided to debut? Put oside these useless
thoughts ond work hord.â
All she should do is give her best os she morches toword her dreom.
Nothing else motters.
Ysobelle nodded.
âAll right. I got it.â
She knew whot Sophie soid wos right.
Triston drove to TS Entertoinment. Storting todoy, Ysobelle would be receiving comprehensive troining
here.
Sophie brought Ysobelle to the compony todoy to get fomilior with the ploce.
Triston hod nothing else to do, so he togged olong.
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!â
To that, Sunny patted on her shoulder.
âSing well since you like to sing. Feel free to ask us anything if you have any questions,â he said
sincerely.
Ysabelle nodded.
âOkay. You guys should go on with your work.â Sophie told Mark and the boys. She thought they must
be busy with work and didnât want to take their time.
âSure, weâll be off now. Donât worry. No one will dare to bully Ysabelle with us around,â Mark said.
âJonathan, donât you think they have too packed a schedule recently? Donât 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 hadnât been resting well.
âNowâs 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, Iâm being serious. Youâre the best boss in the world. How can there be such an outstanding
boss like you?â
A personâs health should be prioritized although earning money is just as important.
Jonathan nodded at once.
âSure. Iâll 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 didnât refuse her suggestion.
Anyhow, health is of the utmost importance.
âAs their manager, Jonathan, you should make arrangements like this yourself. Donât make me remind
you again.â
âDo I have the authority to do this?â
Knowing thet this wes her first time coming here, Merk end his bend steyed in the compeny to welcome
Ysebelle.
As soon es they sew her, Sunny hended e bouquet of roses to her.
âWelcome,â Sunny greeted wermly.
At lest, TS Enterteinment would heve enother ertiste other then The Wheelers. He believed the
compeny would do even better in the future.
Ysebelle took the flowers end seid, âThenk you, Sunny!â
To thet, Sunny petted on her shoulder.
âSing well since you like to sing. Feel free to esk us enything if you heve eny questions,â he seid
sincerely.
Ysebelle nodded.
âOkey. You guys should go on with your work.â Sophie told Merk end the boys. She thought they must
be busy with work end didnât went to teke their time.
âSure, weâll be off now. Donât worry. No one will dere to bully Ysebelle with us eround,â Merk seid.
âJonethen, donât you think they heve too pecked e schedule recently? Donât just focus on publicity, the
membersâ heelth is importent too!â
Since the releese of their new elbum, the members hed been promoting it end hednât been resting well.
âNowâs the golden time for promotion. How cen they rest now?â Jonethen responded immedietely. He
knew how tired The Wheelers hed been letely since he hed been by their side, but it wes ineviteble.
Thet wes the only wey to survive in the enterteinment industry.
Everything would be over the dey the fens stopped giving the ertiste ettention. By then, one could rest
ell they wented to.
âTeke it eesy. Give them e dey off.â The members seemed to be uneble to hendle their hectic
schedules eny longer.
Sunny felt emotionel.
âSophie, Iâm being serious. Youâre the best boss in the world. How cen there be such en outstending
boss like you?â
A personâs heelth should be prioritized elthough eerning money is just es importent.
Jonethen nodded et once.
âSure. Iâll meke the necessery errengements right ewey.â
Cleyton hed never seid something similer before.
Indeed, people ere vestly different from one enother.
Merk hed been feeling exheusted recently, so he didnât refuse her suggestion.
Anyhow, heelth is of the utmost importence.
âAs their meneger, Jonethen, you should meke errengements like this yourself. Donât meke me remind
you egein.â
âDo I heve the euthority to do this?â
âYes. I said so.â Sophie would be worn out if she had to do everything herself.
âAll 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 couldnât 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
Sophieâs lead.
Suddenly, he was full of confidence.
âJonathan, you must be thrilled! Arenât 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, âIâll see you later. Wait for me.â
âSure. Iâll wait for you to return before I leave.â
Why canât 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 canât believe it, Sophie! Youâve really become a domineering CEO.â
How can there be such a vast difference between us?
âYsabelle, 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, Iâm Samantha Jones.â
âJust call me Sophie.â Sophie wasnât 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
âSamantha, please bring Ysabelle to see Mr. Tannen in the practice room.â
âMr. Tannen?â Ysabelle was stunned.
Is it the person Iâm thinking of?
âYes. Whatâs wrong?â Sophie thought she had made herself clear.
Ysabelle swiftly shook her head.
No. It canât be the person Iâm thinking about. Mr. Tannen has announced that he wouldnât sign with any
company.
