Changing Only For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 866

Chapter 866 Heartache

“That's right! You were the one who invited us to this press conference. Naturally, we have the right to report what happened here today!”

“Hear, hear! You can't be so aggressive just because TS Entertainment is doing well now!”

Sophie narrowed her eyes.

“Is that so? Why don't you guys give it a try, then? Let's find out whether or not TS Entertainment can assert control over this situation.”

With that said, Sophie made a call to TS Entertainment's public relations team.

Once she handed the matter over to the professionals, the fan who assaulted Ysabelle was soon brought away by the police.

It was only after that did Sophie and Tristan head backstage to check on Ysabelle.

When they saw her, Ysabelle was drinking water from a glass. Her previous pallor had been replaced by her usual rosy cheeks, and Felix was still right beside her.

“Sophie, I'm sorry. I didn't expect things to turn out this way.”

As the press conference had been broadcasted live, everyone on the internet was talking about what just happened.

Some were even making guesses about Ysabelle's relationship with Felix because of Felix's aggressive response earlier. Only a fool would think that there was nothing between the two of them.

Sophie went over to pat her on the cheek.

“You don't need to worry about this. You've done well. Leave the rest to your coworkers, okay?”

Moreover, she's a victim in this incident.

“How can I possibly rest now? My album is getting released today, but this happened...”

“Ysabelle, do you not trust me?” Sophie was confident in her ability to handle the issue.

“Ysabelle, let's go back first. Sophie can handle this well. You just need to have trust in her.”

“Okay.”

Ysabelle was in great discomfort after getting hugged by a stranger. As if that wasn't bad enough, the man tried to fondle her as well.

Hence, she was quiet on her way back.

At that, Felix sighed. When Ysabelle's phone rang, she glanced at the screen and realized it was from her grandfather. She picked up the call.

“I'm fine, Grandpa. I'm with Felix right now. I'll be coming back soon.”

Despite everything that happened, Ysabelle still did not want her family to worry about her.

When Felix finally stopped the car, he turned to look at her.

“Ysabelle, are you sure you're fine?” Felix asked. He had seen her trembling on the stage earlier.

Ysabelle forced a smile.

Many of her fans were guys, but she did not think much about it because she had never encountered an incident like this. However, after what happened earlier, she was genuinely afraid.

“Felix, what do I do? I—”

Felix got down from the car and carried her out to get some fresh air by the side of the road for a while.

“Don't think of anything. Just know that I'm always by your side and that I won't let anyone touch you anymore,” he reassured, pulling her into his arms.

“He even tried to touch me!” Ysabelle cried out, aggrieved. She loved singing, and she wanted to be a good singer. She could not wrap around her head why those crazy fans would do that to her. It was not as if she had ever worn any revealing clothes.

“I know. You're okay now. I'll never let him off the hook,” Felix assured. That man was a grown-up, so he has to pay the price for his actions. I'll definitely make him pay.

“Then kiss me,” Ysabelle uttered, moved by how sweet Felix was to her.

Felix obliged and leaned down to kiss her.

“Let's go back now. Grandpa's waiting for me at home. He must be worried,” she said, certain that her grandfather had been watching the press conference live as well.

“Of course. I'll send you back.”

Felix then lifted her into his arms again before walking over to the car. With one hand holding her, he opened the door with the other.

After gently putting her down on the front passenger seat, he buckled her seatbelt for her. Frankly, Felix hoped that she would leave the entertainment industry after that incident.

However, it was not the right time for him to talk about that with her. What he needed to do at that moment was to calm her down first.

He drove her to the Lombard residence, but when they arrived, Ysabelle remained in the car instead of getting out right away. She knew that the earlier incident had given everyone a scare.

Thus, she retrieved her lipstick and dabbed it on her lips. Afterward, she patted her cheeks to improve her pale complexion.

“What are you doing?” Felix asked, heartbroken at the sight of Ysabelle trying to make herself seem fine so that her loved ones wouldn't worry.

“I don't want Grandpa to worry. He's old, and I think he saw the live broadcast,” she told Felix.

Everyone said she was a wilful child, but she was trying her best to be a sensible and considerate person.

Felix was sad to see her acting in this way.

“I'm sorry for failing to protect you.” He was right next to her, but he still didn't react in time and allowed that disgusting man to hug her.

“Felix, don't say that. I know you've done your best,” Ysabelle said, not wanting him to keep blaming himself for the matter.

Furthermore, it was never his fault to begin with.

“All right, let's head in first.” Felix then came out of the car and walked over to the other side to open the door for her.

The second she stepped out of the car, the miserable look she had earlier was gone, giving way to a bright smile.

Ysabelle was so sweet and thoughtful that it sometimes broke the hearts of people who loved her.

She was the precious princess of the Lombard family, and she could have been more prideful and spoiled. Yet, she was always putting herself into other people's shoes.

Felix put his arm around her waist.

“Hey, what are you doing? You know my grandpa doesn't like you. He's going to chide you again when he sees you doing this!”

“It's fine. No matter what happens from now on, I'll be by your side. You should know that I'm never afraid of anything.”

He had been working for Tristan for a long time, and he had his own principles and morals. Furthermore, what was the point of living if he could not even protect his girlfriend?

Thus, Felix went in with his arm around Ysabelle's waist. Surprisingly, William did not say anything when he saw them.

Sure enough, he had seen the press conference, so he knew what Ysabelle just went through. That was why the only thing he felt when he saw Ysabelle was heartache.

“Belle, you'll be fine. I'll protect you. I'm going to teach that idiot a lesson for you,” William reassured her. He could not believe that man had the audacity to do such a horrible thing to his granddaughter. He must have a death wish!

Meanwhile, Ysabelle chuckled when she heard her grandfather's words.

“Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm really fine. See, I look fine, right? Felix and Uncle Tristan were there, so he didn't get to do anything to me.”

William's heart only ached even more when he heard that.

“The entertainment industry is murky waters. Why don't you just be our happy little princess? Things are too complicated in the entertainment industry,” William suggested, thinking that the entertainment industry was not at all a suitable place for Ysabelle.

“Let's not talk about this first. What she needs first is rest,” Felix intervened. He knew how much Ysabelle loved singing. Although he also felt that the entertainment industry was not suitable for a girl like Ysabelle, it was not the right time for them to discuss that.

William waved his hand dismissively.

“Okay. Take her upstairs to rest first then.”
