Pursuing Her Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Conference

That Friday night, the Lombard family returned to the Lombard residence for dinner with William.

William sat at the head of the table as a dozen of them took their seats. Although William was over seventy years old, the aura he had amassed over the years since he became an entrepreneur was still strong.

“Tristan, I’ve heard that you’re rather conspicuous recently.”

Tristan put down his wine glass and replied, “Dad, since you’ve handed over Lombard Group to me, I’ll handle everything. You can put your mind at ease and enjoy gardening at home.”

“Tristan, how can you talk to Dad like that?” William’s eldest son, Lincoln, chided Tristan for disrespecting their aged father.

“That’s right, Tristan. Dad wanted to remind you for your own good. Others won’t let you off the hook once you harm their interests.” Soon, William’s second oldest, Sarah, chimed in.

“Sarah, I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry about me.”

Tristan was confident and had made the necessary preparations for the drastic action.

“Sarah, how are things going between you and that brat from the Quigley family? You’re not getting any younger. If he’s not okay, you—”

“Dad, please don’t bother yourself with this matter.” Sarah felt a little frustrated once William brought it up.

“Do you guys think I want to poke my nose into your business? I’m worried about all of you!”

“Grandpa, I’m well-behaved!” Ysabelle interrupted after she had been eating quietly for some time.

William put on a smile when he saw his beloved granddaughter.

“You’re right. You’re such a good girl.”

“Grandpa, I have a friend in Jipsdale Premier High. I’ll bring her here on my birthday. I’m sure you’ll be fond of her.”

“Sure.”

“By the way, the parent-teacher conference will be held next Monday. Dad, will you be going?”

“Monday? I’ll be in Mapleton that day. Let Uncle Tristan go on my behalf.”

“Uncle Tristan? Are you free to join the conference?” Ysabelle thought Tristan was busier.

“Okay.” Much to her surprise, Tristan agreed.
