Chapter 652
Left with no choice, Timothy could only bring Jennifer to the Lombard residence. Perhaps William was the only
person who could save Jennifer at that moment.
Jennifer did not expect things to end up like that and only understood the gravity of the situation when they arrived
at the Lombard residence.
“Dad, is Mr. Tristan really that heartless to me?” she asked incredulously, refusing to believe Tristan would not even
give her any chance.
“Jennifer, we're about to lose Whitley Group now. Do you still think he has a hint of affection for you? Stop
dreaming. As your father, I will support whatever you do, but you really made a mistake this time.”
Not only did Jennifer bring destruction to Whitley Group, but she also ruined herself.
William knew the purpose of the father-daughter duo's visit. He was speechless for a while upon seeing the state
that they were in.
“Old Mr. Lombard, you have always adored Jennifer, right? Please help her! She's still young and doesn't even know
she has done something wrong. All this happened because she likes Mr. Tristan really much,” Timothy briefly
explained the situation to William.
He seemed to have aged a lot in a day, as their company, Whitley Group, which originally had a firm foothold in
Jipsdale, had fallen apart.
William pondered for a moment after listening to their words.
“Both of you should know what Tristan is like. When he's pissed off, he listens to no one, including me.”
He was clear about his son's temperament.
Besides, the Whitleys had offended the people Tristan cared about the most this time.

will not be the case for Jennifer. Her life will be ruined!”
Jennifer had been sitting beside Timothy and listening to the conversation.
She was filled with nothing but regret when she saw her father constantly begging for help. I really shouldn't have
been so willful. Dad wouldn't have to beg for help like this if it wasn't for me. How can I not understand my own
dad? I really don't deserve to be his daughter.
“All right, both of you should head back first. I'll talk about this matter to Tristan, but I can't promise anything.”
Tristan rarely changed his mind once he made his decision.
Since William had said so, Timothy could only leave with Jennifer.
After coming out of the Lombard residence, Jennifer burst into tears.
Seeing her in such a state made Timothy's heart ache.
He patted Jennifer on the shoulder and comforted her, “Don't cry. Things have come to this state. We can only find
a way to solve it. Crying won't do any good.”
“I'm sorry, Dad. It's all because of me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to defuse the situation like this.”
Jennifer understood that she was wrong. She wondered if it was too late for her only to realize it now. “I'm so sorry,
Dad.”
Timothy gently hugged her. “You're still young. Most of the time, regret is useless once you make a mistake, but you
have to remember not to repeat it. Your mom and I are getting old. I'm afraid we can't protect you anymore.”
Without Whitley Group, the Whitley family could no longer speak with authority in Jipsdale. By then, no one would be
able to protect Jennifer.
“Dad, is there nothing else we can do to save Whitley Group?” Jennifer was clear that Whitley Group was everything
to Timothy.
Timothy did not want to continue the topic, nor did he want to make Jennifer feel burdened.
“Don't bother yourself about that. How about this? Let's go home now, and you will go abroad immediately.”
Timothy could only think of that to keep Jennifer safe.
“What?” Jennifer was surprised when Timothy told her to leave the country.
She couldn't bear to leave her family just like that.
“No way, Dad! I'm not going abroad. I want to stay here with all of you. We are a family. I want to be with you guys
no matter what happens.” Jennifer's parents had been doting on her since she was young.
There was no way she could leave them at such a crucial moment.
Timothy shook his head. “Jennifer, this is the only thing I can do for you. Just listen to me, okay? Get your passport
after you get home and leave the country immediately. Once I settle everything here, I'll bring your mom over to
see you.”
“Really? Will you guys go to see me?” Jennifer only realized how serious the matter was now.
“Yes. We'll see you when I'm done settling everything here. Let's not talk too much and go back now.”
Timothy had made up his mind.
No matter what consequences he had to bear, he would take it all by himself and not let his only daughter suffer.
Meanwhile, Felix had picked Ysabelle up at the airport. Besides him, many of Ysabelle's fans were at the airport,
too.
She was indeed quite popular now.
Ysabelle grinned from ear to ear once he saw Felix. After handing her luggage to her assistant, she left with him.
“How long have you been waiting?” she asked, thinking the man must have been waiting there all along.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It wasn't that long. It doesn't matter how long I have to wait as long as I can see you the soonest.” Felix only
wanted to see her. “I thought of going with you at first.”
He felt bad for not being able to accompany Ysabelle as it was the first time she had gone overseas to shoot a
variety show.
Ysabelle held his face and said, “It's okay. I wasn't there to play anyway. I was there to work. You have your things
to take care of, too. There's no need for you to accompany me all the time.” She enjoyed the way they got along
with each other currently.
“But you have so many fans now. I can't feel at ease for letting you travel alone.” Felix was worried about her at the
thought of the crazy fans.
“Don't worry. Have you forgotten that my company has assigned me an assistant? It's not like I'm all by myself.”
Ysabelle agreed that some fans would indeed go too far, but she would take good care of herself all the time.
“In-flight meals aren't delicious. I bet you haven't eaten, right? Let's go. I'll get you some food,” said Felix.
“Okay,” Ysabelle replied obediently.
While Felix held her hand as they walked outside, she fished out her phone and saw dozens of missed calls from
Sandra.
“There're so many missed calls from Sandra! Did something happen?” She thought it was too much and quickly
returned Sandra's call.
After she learned what happened, her face contorted.
“Damn it! Why wouldn't Jennifer give up? Did she think she could make Uncle Tristan fall in love with her by doing
that? How can there be such a shameless woman in this world?” Ysabelle would never let Jennifer off for framing
Sophie.
Seeing the furious look on her face, Felix dared not to utter a word. He purposely didn't bring the matter up just
now so that she could enjoy her meal with peace of mind.
However, it seemed that there was no way they could enjoy the meal anymore.
