Anything For Her

Chapter 426

“Don't they all say that interest is the best teacher you can get? I really like singing right now, so I don't mind

learning how to dance as well. Don't worry, Sophie. I won't let you down,” Ysabelle announced.

Sophie bobbed her head.

“To be honest, you don't need to stress yourself out too much,” she exhorted.

Without a doubt, she was capable of letting Ysabelle rise to fame. Besides, it was her decision to have the latter

debut as an artiste.

Therefore, regardless of how things would end up, she would never blame Ysabelle.

Touched by Sophie's words, Ysabelle declared, “I'll never let you down!”

“Ysabelle, no matter what you do, the most important thing is never disappointing yourself,” Sophie advised. There

was a problem with Ysabelle's earlier viewpoint.

“You're so nice to me. How can I bear to disappoint you?”

“You—” Sophie could not knock some sense into Ysabelle, but it did not matter. With them around, it would be

impossible for the latter to fail.

Tristan, without a doubt, was glad to see the close-knit relationship between the two young women, for that meant

that Sophie would have someone to talk to when she married into the Luther family.

Hmm, but honestly, I doubt Sophie will have any trouble making friends anywhere. Doesn't Sarah like Sophie too?

After sending Ysabelle to TS Entertainment, Tristan drove Sophie to the Tanner residence.

Unsurprisingly, Josiah was in the middle of a conversation with the school teacher when Tristan and Sophie arrived.

Winston Woods, the teacher who came, taught mathematics in Senior Class 8. While his classes were mediocre at

best, he had always been an arrogant person.

Josiah called out, “Soph, come here. I've invited Mr. Woods here today. Hurry and say hi to your teacher.”

Hearing that, Sophie walked over.

She then greeted, “Hello, Mr. Woods.”

“Soph, come here. Take a seat beside me,” Josiah said, beckoning her to sit beside him.

“Okay.”

“Take a seat too, Tanny.”

Winston had not seen Tristan before, but it was clear at first glance that the latter had the bearing of a big shot.

“Old Mr. Tanner, this is...” Winston asked tentatively.

“Oh, he's Sophie's boyfriend!” Josiah answered.

“Oh, I see! Where's Willow? I don't see her around. She must have scored well, too, right?” Winston had only come

over because Willow's boyfriend was Clayton.

Everyone in Jipsdale knew about the Zales family. Like the others, he wanted to curry favor with them.

The second Winston mentioned Willow, Sophie figured out why he was there.

It's really as I've expected.

“Charmaine, where's Willow? What's going on with her? Wasn't she informed about the teacher's visit? Hurry up

and get her to come downstairs,” Josiah instructed. He had invited the teacher over to consult him about Willow's

and Sophie's university applications.

“Okay, I'll go and get her right now. I saw that she was in the middle of a call when I went upstairs earlier,”

Charmaine replied.

“There's no need to rush her. She must be on a call with Mr. Zales right now,” Winston hurriedly chimed in. How can

we disturb her at a time like this?

Sophie glanced at Tristan upon hearing her mathematics teacher's words.

“I told you not to come,” she whispered. This is what you'll see if you come.

Tristan reassured, “It's fine.” It was not like he had never seen people like Winston.

Hence, he did not find it strange to encounter such an occasion.

After all, few in Jipsdale had seen him in person, so it was no surprise that Winston did not recognize him.

At the same time, Josiah was starting to get displeased.

What's going on with Mr. Woods? Is he so eager to butter Clayton up?

Right then, Willow came down the stairs.

Seeing that Tristan and Sophie were present as well, she naturally had to be careful with her words.

“Willa, your grandpa has invited Mr. Woods over to consult about your university application. Have you checked

your score?” Charmaine asked.

“I have, and it isn't great,” Willow confessed. In truth, she was not satisfied with her score.

“How much did you get?” Charmaine was eager to know.

Willow's currently in a relationship with Clayton. If she manages to get into Jipsdale University, I'm sure she'll be

able to stand tall by his side.

“It's only six hundred fifty,” Willow replied. It was a little difficult to enter Jipsdale University with that score.

“Willow, you did a great job. Mr. Zales should be able to find a way around this if you really want to be admitted into

Jipsdale University.”

“Yeah,” was all Willow answered.

Feeling bitter, she asked, “What about you, Sophie? What's your score?”

“I don't know yet.”

“What do you mean by that? It's fine if you don't want to tell me, but you didn't have to lie,” Willow snapped.

“Soph, what's going on? Have you not checked your score yet?”

“I have, but I don't have a score,” Sophie revealed.

“How can that be? Could it be that you've underperformed this time and are too embarrassed to tell us?” Hah!

Don't you think highly of yourself all the time? Why don't you have the guts to tell us your score now?

“Yes, Sophie, no matter how you've done on the exam, you must tell us about it so that we can think of a way to

deal with this,” Winston quickly chimed in.

Sophie was speechless.

Why won't they believe me? Well, it's not as if it matters.

“No, thanks,” she answered, her patience running thin.

“Soph, how can you not have a score? Did you flunk the exam? How can you be so irresponsible?” Charmaine

grumbled.

The university entrance exam is a significant event in everyone's life! How can she be so thoughtless about it?

Sophie was at a loss for words.

“Isn't it just a university entrance exam? I know what I've done.”

Regardless of the score she obtained, she would accept it readily. There was no need for them to worry about it on

her behalf.

“Sophie, I know that you had good grades, but it's nothing unusual for high achievers to underperform. You don't

need to feel ashamed,” Winston casually pointed out. “Well, Willow's still the best. She has never let her teachers

worry about her. What a good girl she is.”

His praise made Willow smug.

Right then, the housekeeper entered.

“Old Mr. Tanner, there are a few men in suits looking for Ms. Sophie outside,” they reported, musing about how the

men had seemed unfriendly.

“Who are they?” Josiah asked.

“I think it's the chancellor of a university.”

“The chancellor of a university?” Josiah was baffled, for he had never encountered something like that before.

“Morgan, invite them in!” he then instructed.

No matter what, he could not let them wait outside.

Willow was confused as well.

Why is a university's chancellor here?

Meanwhile, Tristan had been dissatisfied with Winston since arriving at the Tanner residence because he felt

uncomfortable with the latter's attitude toward Sophie.

“I don't really like your math teacher,” he said to Sophie.

“Why would you need to like him? You just need to like me,” she responded. To them, other people were

insignificant.

“Okay.”

Still, Tristan could not shake off the feeling that Winston had insulted Sophie.

At that moment, a bespectacled scholarly-looking man in his fifties entered with a few men behind him.

“May I know who is Sophie Tanner?”

Tristan knew who that man was, and evidently, so did the middle-aged chancellor.

“Why are you here too?” the chancellor asked, taken aback by Tristan's presence in the Tanner residence.
