Chapter 31 Feisty

Seeing how Tristan was taking care of Sophie, Ysabelle panicked even further. She got so worried that she lost her appetite.

“What’s wrong? I thought you said you were hungry earlier?” Felix asked caringly.

Ysabelle put down her fork.

“Are you full now, Soph? Let me take you out on a stroll,” she said. I should avoid letting Soph meet Uncle Tristan in the future. I really like her, and I don’t want to lose a friend like her.

“Mm-hmm.” Sophie nodded.

“I’ll be taking Soph out on a stroll now, Uncle Tristan!” Ysabelle informed before dragging Sophie outside.

“What’s up with her?” Tristan asked Felix.

“She’s afraid you’ll snatch Sophie away.” Felix could tell Ysabelle really liked Sophie.

Tristan didn’t ask about it further.

“Oh yeah, the Lane family has been getting restless recently. Find something for them to do to keep them busy.” Tristan put his fork down, raised the wineglass next to him, and gently swirled the wine within.

“You mean the Lane family who kidnapped Ysabelle?” Felix’s expression darkened when he heard that.

“Yes. Don’t worry; leave it to me.” Sean didn’t like to talk, but he was efficient and reliable when it came to work.

“Oh yeah, did you hear about Jason?” Charles suddenly asked.

“What about him?”

“None of you knew his law firm is under investigation? I thought you two were the ones who did it.”

“I was going to!” Felix didn’t expect that to happen. Who did it? Who else dislikes Jason?

“Someone anonymously reported Jason’s law firm. That someone also sent evidence of his tax evasion to the relevant authorities.”

Tristan raised his eyebrow. That’s quite a direct and brutal tactic. Jason won’t even have the chance to struggle. Who’s the one behind this?

“Let’s go swimming, Soph!” Ysabelle suggested. There were a lot of things in the resort, including an excellent outdoors pool.

“I didn’t bring a swimsuit with me,” Sophie informed.

“You can find anything here! Follow me; I’ll take you to buy one.”
