Changing Only For Her Novel

Chapter 230 Shocking Self Control “Mr. Tristan, are our plans for this year’s Christmas
the same as usual?” Every year, the fourof them would have dinner with their families
on Christmas Eve.
However, they would go on a vacation together after that. “I have other plans, so I
won’t join you this year,” Tristan replied nonchalantly.
The other three were silent and couldnot help glancing toward Sophie.
His “other plans” must refer to her! Alas, some people really do forget all about their
friends after getting a girlfriend.
That’s no fun.
“Don’t look at me. I’m busy and won’t be with Mr.Tristan,” Sophie responded.
They don’t think I’ll be spending Christmas with him, do they?
“Huh?”
Felix could hardly believe his ears.
What was that I just heard? So, that means Mr.Tristan’s feelings are one-sided, and
he hasn’t told her about them! How awkward!
Suddenly, Felix felt a littlesorry for Tristan. Sure enough, one reaps what one sows.
Ms.Tanner sure is no pushover. “What are you busy with? Christmas is a time for
family.
Everything else doesn’t matter.
Didn’t your grandfather recently undergo surgery?” Sarah couldn’t help piping up.
It’s only at this age that I realize how important it is to spend time with family.
Perhaps it’s because I let my family down too much when I was younger.
“Yes, I know. I’ll be back in time for Christmas.” She had already promised Josiah that
she would celebrate the holiday with him.
And since she had given him her word, there was no way she would change her
plans.
“Soph, sinceyou’ll be in Jipsdale for Christmas, can I go and hang out at your house
during that time?” Ysabelle asked.
She had not been to Sophie’s house before. “You little rascal.

What are you doing going to Sophie’s house during Christmas? This year, no one is
allowed to run aboutas they wish.
You’re all to stay at home with your families.” “Oh, that’s all right.
I’ll call you after I get back from Horington,” said Sophie.
She did not mind if Ysabelle wanted to go and find her.
However, I’d much rather stay at Wisteria Apartments.
I still don’t feel like returning to the family mansion.
But let’s not think about that for now. “I heard you’ll be attending Tanner Group’s
shareholders’ meeting tomorrow and will officially assume the positionof the
company’s CEO.” Sarah was thoroughly fascinated by Sophie.
She’s only eighteen, but she has already led the ailing Transfix Cosmetics to where it
is today.
“Yeah,” Sophie replied, not feeling the need to hide that from the others.
The Tannerfamily may be nothing compared to the four families now, but that doesn’t
mean it’ll stay that way forever.
Tanner Group is the result of Grandpa’s hard work.
Hence, I won’t let it fall. “If you need my help with anything, just let me know.
I’m not busy these few days anyway.
I can go with you if you need.
Why don’t I act as your secretary?” Sarah was still worried Sophie would get bullied
by the capitalists.
At least I’vehad more life experience, so I’d feel more at ease if I went with her.
“There’s really no need for that, Sarah.
I’ve arranged everything,” Sophie replied confidently.
“Guys, look at Sophie.
She’s only eighteen years old but already so capable!” Sarah could not help saying.
And there’s Ysabelle, already nineteen years old but still so rebellious.
What a world of difference that is! Ysabelle stuck out her tongue, then said, “You’re
right. My dearest Soph is that amazing!” Indeed, she felt it was a blessing that she
had gotten to know Sophie.
Although Tristan didnot say anything, the way he gazed at Sophie clearly showed how
proud he was of her. Meanwhile, Sean and Charles exchanged glances.
Did we come here to get ignored? Ever since Sophie turned up, everyone’s attention
has been on her! “Honestly, you guys have no ideahow Sophie managed to turn the
tide and give the others a slap in the face.
The whole process was so satisfying!” What happened at Transfix Cosmetics’ product
launch was still vivid in Felix’s mind. “It wasn’t that big of a deal. I just got lucky,”
Sophie replied, wondering why everyone seemed to be singing her praises whenthey
were supposed to be meeting for a meal. “Luck only favors those who are capable,”
Tristan remarked.
And those who are incapable will never succeed no matter what they do.
That was why he hated hearing people say theyhad put in so much effort but were
unlucky. He felt that not everything that happened could be blamed on luck. After all
the dishes had been served, everyone started eating.
During the meal, Tristan and the other men continued talking about investments while
the three ladieshad their girl talk. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
“Ysabelle, you have to learn from Sophie, got it? You’re too impatient.” Sophie is
always calm and composed.
She shows elegance, and that’s how a lady should be. “I wish so too, Aunt Sarah.
However, there’s a direct correlation between her calm temperament and her
capabilities.
Since I don’t possess capabilities like hers, I couldn’t learn even if I wanted to.”
