“Old Mr. Lombard, the wise are not taken in by rumors, so why are you? Since Tristan has chosen me, do you not have faith in his decision?”

Do the malicious rumors really matter that much?

“The rumors might seem trivial to you, but that’s not the case in reality. It doesn’t matter whether I believe them or not. What matters is that people will be gossiping about you behind our backs!”

As the Lombards were the most powerful family in Jipsdale, this was an unacceptable fact.

“In that case, I’ll make sure that they don’t dare utter a single word about me.”

Although the rumors were unfounded, she would put a stop to them if the Lombard family found them unsettling.

“Sophie, you’re really not compatible with Tristan. Do you understand what I’m trying to tell you?”

“Old Mr. Lombard, as I said before, whether we’re compatible or not isn’t for you to judge. I won’t leave him just because you don’t approve of me.”

There was no way she would do such a thing.

“Tell me then, what will it take for you to leave him?” I’m willing to agree to any of her demands.

A smirk flashed across Sophie’s face. She had always assumed that such situations would only appear on TV. Little did she expect herself to be embroiled in one.

“I won’t leave him no matter what.” Sophie declared with conviction, “From the moment I decided for us to be together, breaking up never crossed my mind.”

“You—” What a persistent girl. “Fine. I have nothing more to say to you. Your capabilities will determine whether you can keep your place by Tristan’s side.”

Words alone won’t count for much.

“If you think that the only way for me to be qualified is to have Tanner Group outdo the Whitley family, give me three months, and I’ll make it happen.”

Outdo the Whitley family? Is she deluding herself? Does she know the Whitley family’s place in Jipsdale?
