Chapter 233 Taking The Risk “I guess you’re right.” Tristan was left with no choice but
to finish the bagel himself.
Sophie found his reaction amusing.
“Rest assuredthat I’m already an adult who can take good care of myself.
You don’t have to worry about me at all.” It’s just breakfast! There’s no need for him to
keep an eye on me. “You’re too skinny.
You should eat a bit more.” He was not happy with her weight.
“Mr.Tristan, being skinny is the new standard of beauty for women in this time and
era.
Do you get it?” “What’s so great about being exceptionally thin? You look like a
bamboo stick.”
“I look like a bamboo stick? Are yousure?” Despite being slim, I have all the assets a
woman would want on her body.
Although I don’t have a voluptuous figure, I can’t possibly look like a bamboo stick.
“That’s not what I meant.
Actually, I’m very satisfied with your body.”
What?
“Okay, fine.
I meant to say you have a great body.” Don’t all girls mind when people comment
about theirfigures? “No need to explain anymore, Mr.Tristan.
Go ahead and eat your breakfast.” I might appear aloof, but I do feel shy discussing
my body early in the morning! Regardless, I’m just ayoung lady. “Okay, I’ll focus on my
breakfast and stop checking you out.” After they finished eating, they ran into Juan
and Winter on the way out. Winter went up to them to say hi, but Tristan gave her the
cold shoulder and ignored her completely. Winter was used to him reacting that way,
for she knew that her one-sided feelings would never be reciprocated. Even if she felt
sour about it, there was nothing she could do. As Winter watched him leave with

Sophie, the former found it hard to avert her gaze. “Winter, do you still like Mr.Tristan
that much?” Juan thought it was a bonus to the Lombard family should Winter tie the
knot with Tristan.
“Yes, I do.
The entire world knows that I have feelings for him, but he couldn’t care less about
me.” Bitterness permeated her. “Since you likehim so much, you should work hard to
get him, Winter.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
As long as you put in the effort, you’ll surely see results.”
Winter stared at him in disbelief.
At the same time, there was a sparkle in her eyes.
“Juan, doyou think that I’ll succeed? Charles keeps asking me to give up.” Many
doubted her. Grabbing her shoulders, Juan said dotingly, “Absolutely! Our sister is so
adorable and talented.
I believe that you will win his heart.
Therefore, you must put more effort into it.” Winter nodded gleefully. “Yup!” At that
moment, she saw a glimmer of hope and feltgood about herself. Meanwhile, Tristan
sent Sophie back to Tanner Group. “Once you’re done with the shareholders’ meeting,
call me.
I’ll come and pick you up.” He knew that she did not want him to participate in the
meeting.
Hence, he backed off. “All right, you go ahead and catch up with your work.
The end of the fiscal year is soon approaching, I bet Lombard Group has entered a
busy period, too.” “Okay.”
Yale hadbeen waiting in the car to speak to Tristan.
Unfortunately, the latter left by the time Yale got out of his car.
Yale’s face flushed a little when he saw Sophie staring athim, expressionless.
“Sophie, I’m your dad no matter what happens, right? You shouldn’t make it too
difficult for me.
Now that you have Mr.Tristan by your side, you can own anything you want in the
future, can’t you?”
Yale was clutching at straws because he couldnot let go of Tanner Group. Being a
spendthrift all of his life, he could never be able to survive on a tiny amount of
dividends. Sophie frowned at him. What’s the use of him coming here and spouting
pointless words? “So?” Yale’s face fell.
I’ve already made my intentions clear.
Why can’t she understand where I’m coming from? How could she be so greedy?
“So, what I’m trying to point out is why are you fighting againstme for Tanner Group
when you’ve got Lombard Group? Tanner Group is my sweat and blood.
I can’t live without it!” “Tanner Group is your sweat and blood? Are you kidding me?
Come on and tell me.
What have you contributed to the group?” Tanner Group wouldn’t have ended up the
way it is now if it hadn’t been for him! “By the way,are you out of your mind? Since
when did Lombard Group belong to me? Did you gift it to me?” Why is he spewing
nonsense? What does he take me for? “Soph, I can tell that Mr.Tristan treats you very
well.
If only you could marry him…
Even if you don’t, you should remain by his side.
