Chapter 651

“Is it Jennifer?” Tristan figured it out at once. No one else would do such a thing other than her.

“That’s right. It’s her, but you don’t have to worry. I don’t intend to let her off. I’ve already reported her.

Besides, I’ve also collected enough evidence to prove that Whitley Group has been evading taxes.”

Sophie would not let Jennifer off so easily since she was daring enough to slander her.

“All right, let’s leave this aside first. You must be hungry after being locked up here for so long. We

should get you something to eat.”

No matter what, Whitley Group would have to pay for what they had done.

“Yup, I’m famished. I haven’t eaten anything in a long time.”

Felix drove the couple to the nearest restaurant and said, “The two of you go ahead. I need to pick

Ysabelle up at the airport later, so I won’t be eating with you guys!”

Ysabelle would be returning from Koandria that day, and he had promised to fetch her from the airport.

“You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Eat with us before you go! Ysabelle’s plane hasn’t landed yet

anyway.”

It wasn’t necessary to reach the airport that early, as he would still have to wait.

“It’s all right. I need to save some space in my stomach to eat with her later.” In-flight meals usually

tasted horrible, and Felix was certain that Ysabelle would not have eaten much. There was no way he

would let go of such a good opportunity. “By the way, regarding Whitley Group… Would it be okay if I

deal with them tomorrow?”

All Felix wanted to do for the rest of the day was to spend time with Ysabelle.

“You don’t have to do anything about them. I will handle it myself. Don’t worry and enjoy yourself!”

Sophie said. It was her own problem to deal with in the first place. Since Jennifer was targeting her, it

was only right for her to be the one returning the favor.

Otherwise, the frustration would be too much for her to bear.

“Yes, you don’t have to bother yourself with it. I will personally make sure it gets settled.” Tristan did not

intend to let the matter slide since it concerned Sophie.

“Okay, then. I shall make a move first!” Felix drove off after saying that. Even though Ysabelle would

only arrive two hours later, he decided to head to the airport and wait there, as it would take him around

an hour to reach.

The restaurant which Tristan had brought Sophie to was one of the more popular ones in that area.

When the restaurant manager heard that Tristan was there, he came out to welcome the man at once.

“Mr. Tristan, I’ve reserved a table for you. Let me take you there,” the manager said with an ingratiating

smile on his face.

It was a pleasant surprise and great honor to have Tristan dining at their restaurant. As such, it was no

question that they would have to provide the best service possible.

“Serve the dishes as quickly as you can. My girlfriend is hungry,” Tristan said. They did not have time to

waste at the restaurant.

“Mr. Tristan, don’t worry! Your food is ready. We will serve it once you get seated.” The manager had

instructed the kitchen to prepare the couple’s food the moment he heard that they would be visiting.

Tristan merely nodded placidly.

He led Sophie to the table and pulled a chair for her before pouring her a glass of water.

They were the only two people remaining in the private room after the manager left to check on their

food.

“Jennifer has gone too far this time. I will definitely make sure she pays for it!” Tristan could still feel his

blood boiling at the thought of what Jennifer had done.

“All right, don’t be angry. I don’t intend to let her off either. Her good days are coming to an end!”

Neither Tristan nor Sophie was to be trifled with.

They could turn a blind eye to insignificant people. However, they would not go easy on those who

dared to mess with them.

The two of them were still having their meal when Timothy arrived.

That put the restaurant manager in an awkward spot.

“Mr. Whitley, as you are probably aware, Mr. Tristan is in the middle of his meal, and we don’t dare to

disturb him. It seems that he’s not in a very good mood today. Even if you get to speak to him, I don’t

think anything will change!” The manager could read people well, and it was obvious to him that Tristan

was upset.

Timothy was at a loss as to what he should do.

He knew that his daughter’s actions would cause the end of Whitley Group.

Jennifer was the daughter he had always been proud of, and he could hardly believe that she had

caused such a huge trouble.

Needless to say, Tristan and Sophie were aware that Timothy was outside. However, they did not want

to see him at all.

“Eat more. You’re eating too little.” Although Tristan knew she did not have much appetite, it was

important for her to get the necessary nutrition.

“I’m fine. I was indeed starving just now, but I’m already full.” Sophie was not a huge eater, and that

amount of food was enough for her.

“Okay!” Tristan kept that in mind.

Both of them left the private room after he was finished with his food. When they walked out, they saw

Timothy waiting there.

Tristan remained expressionless.

Timothy immediately stepped forward and stopped them from leaving.

“Mr. Tristan, I’m sure that there must be some misunderstanding. Whitley Group—”

“Mr. Whitley, if you have anything to say, save it to tell the legal authorities. My girlfriend is very tired,

and I need to take her home to rest. She has just been released after being locked up at the

Department of Justice for one whole day!”

Upon hearing that, Timothy knew that things would not be resolved so easily.

“Mr. Tristan, Jennifer wasn’t in her right mind because she likes you too much. On account of the

friendship between our families, please spare my daughter and Whitley Group!” Timothy was certain

that it would be the end of Whitley Group if Tristan was unwilling to relent.

“Does liking me give her an excuse to do bad things? You’re making it sound like I’m the one

responsible for this.” Regardless of the reason, Tristan would not allow anyone to hurt the woman he

loved.

“Mr. Tristan, no matter what, please let her off. I beg you. She’s still young and immature.” Jennifer was

Timothy’s only daughter, and he did not want to see her future destroyed.

“She’s already twenty-eight! Is that considered young?” Tristan let out a mirthless laugh. How can she

be considered young when eighteen is the legal age of adulthood? I suppose she has limited brain

capacity!

“That’s enough. I’ve already told you that my girlfriend is tired and needs rest. All we did was report

Whitley Group. I won’t interfere in other matters, so you don’t have to worry. As for Jennifer, if she didn’t

do anything, she will be fine.” Tristan put his arm around Sophie’s shoulders after saying that.

He did not want to continue wasting time entertaining the older man.

It had been a long and exhausting day for Sophie.

“Ms. Tanner, I beg you! Jennifer made a mistake because of her foolishness. Please give her one more

chance.” Seeing that Tristan was firm in his stance, Timothy turned his attention to Sophie instead.

Sophie halted in her tracks and replied, “Don’t worry! All I did was give the evidence to the legal

authorities. It is up to them how they want to handle it. That’s not within my control!”

Sophie’s response was exactly the same as Tristan’s.

Timothy’s heart sank as he watched the couple walk away from the restaurant. Deep down in his heart,

he knew he would not be able to save Whitley Group.

However, even if that was the case, he still hoped to get Jennifer out of trouble. That was the only thing

he could do for her as her father.
