Chapter 333
After attending two weeks of classes, Ysabelle was exhausted. As such, when she arrived at school
very early in the morning, she simply slumped on the table.
Noticing that her friend was acting sluggishly, Sophie approached Ysabelle's table and knocked on the
surface. “What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“No. I'm just feeling very tired. We've been attending classes for almost two weeks straight without a
single day of rest, right? When is this going to end?” Ysabelle very much hoped the university entrance
exam was tomorrow so she would finally be free. “I think it's ineffective for this to keep going. The
teachers had reviewed everything we should review.”
Sophie patted her friend's head. “It's only been two weeks of no rest, yet you're already at the end of
your rope. When you enter the entertainment industry in the future, you'll need to go months without
rest. What will you do then?”
“How are those two things the same? Studying isn't something I like, but singing is. I'm fine with not
taking any vacation if it means I can do something I enjoy.”
“All right, come on, just get up already. Once the classes are over, I'll take you to watch Mark and the
others record their new album at the recording studio.”
In truth, Sophie had planned to let her friend follow Mark then. However, they were in the last semester
of their senior year. She didn't want to get in the way of Ysabelle's education, so she had been delaying
that from happening.
When Ysabelle heard that, her eyes sparkled.
“Can I really watch them record their songs?” She grabbed Sophie's hand excitedly.
“Yes, really,” Sophie replied.
Thanks to Sophie's promise, Ysabelle remained ecstatic throughout the whole morning.

prepared! Let's go.”
Sophie got up from her seat and left with Ysabelle.
Just as the two of them stepped out of the classroom, they saw a girl standing at the entrance. The girl
mustered her bravery and introduced herself to them. “Hello, Sophie. My name's Emily Caldwin. I
heard you're opening an agency. Can I try getting in?”
Sophie was usually a pretty cold and unapproachable person, so when Emily spoke, she did so
carefully.
Sophie's gaze landed on Emily as she examined the latter. Hmm, she seems pretty charming,
especially her eyes. They look pure. “I haven't started my company yet, so I don't plan on signing a
contract with anyone at the moment. As such, for now, I can't promise you anything.”
Emily's family situation was pretty standard, but she had always been interested in acting. Sadly, she
never found the opportunity to break into the industry until she heard about Sophie's company. “Please
sign a contract with me, Sophie. I promise you won't regret it!”
“Let's leave this matter for later.” Upon saying that, Sophie started walking away with Ysabelle.
Emily was rooted to the spot, stunned. Is it not possible after all? Am I really supposed to give up on
my dream? I've tried approaching plenty of agencies already, but none of them were willing to accept
me.
After buying a bunch of food from The Crown, Sophie and Ysabelle headed to the recording studio.
When they arrived at the studio, Mark and the others were already in the middle of recording their
song.
Ysabelle watched them perform from the side with curiosity. When Mark noticed they had arrived, he
finished recording a part of the song before stepping out of the recording room with his members. “I
thought you two were busy. How do you have time to come over here?”
“We're here to supervise you!” Sophie spoke with a smile as she pulled out the lunch she had bought
with Ysabelle for them.
Sunny was overjoyed when he saw their lunch was from The Crown.
“You're too generous, Sophie!” As he praised, he grabbed a piece of meat and munched on it.
It tasted as amazing as he thought.
“Expensive food is indeed tasty! This is so good! You should come and supervise us every day,
Sophie!” He liked a supervisor like her.
The other members couldn't help but comment, “You're such a glutton!”
“You lot have some nerve calling me that. Look at yourselves. Look at how much you're enjoying it, too.
We're all more or less the same, all right?”
Ysabelle found their interactions to be endearing.
Together, they all sat and ate lunch with each other.
After their meal concluded, they began their discussion.
“I think this part has a bit of an issue, Mark. The chord in this section isn't good. It needs alteration.”
“I think so, too.” Sophie agreed because she noticed the same problem when she listened to it earlier.
Grabbing the score, she made some changes to it with a pencil before showing it to everyone. “What
do you all think about this?”
Mark hummed the changes she made and found them to be smooth and pleasant to the ear. “We
should change it to this, then.”
Ysabelle was envious as she watched the band work seriously. I wonder when I could launch my own
album with my own songs in it.
Just as that thought flashed into her mind, her phone rang.
When she saw that it was Tristan, she promptly went out to answer the call. “What's the matter, Uncle
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTristan? We're in the recording studio right now. Can't you call Sophie's phone? I don't know, she's
pretty busy at the moment. I don't think she has time to talk to someone on the phone.”
After the call ended, Tristan felt somewhat depressed. Lately, Sophie had been spending all her time
with The Wheelers, making him, her boyfriend, feel ignored.
When Felix noticed his expression, he couldn't help but ask, “What's the matter? Are Sophie and
Ysabelle with Mark and the others again?”
In truth, he felt pretty threatened by The Wheelers because all five band members were quite
handsome, and he was worried Ysabelle would fall for their charming looks.
Most importantly, she liked singing, so she would naturally have a lot to talk about with them.
Felix couldn't help but sigh. The Wheelers sure have a magical charm to them!
Then, he asked, “Won't Sophie affect Clayton's profits if she enters the entertainment industry so
openly like this, Mr. Tristan? Clayton's not an easy opponent to deal with. Considering how he treated
The Wheelers back then, will he really let this slide when he sees how The Wheelers are doing now?”
“Of course not. Clayton loves to pull strings in the dark.” Tristan was quite aware of how Clayton
operated. “Send a few men to protect Mark and the others.”
Hearing that, Felix couldn't help but comment, “You're protecting your own love rival, Mr. Tristan? Aren't
you being too gracious? This is my first time hearing something like this!” If he were in Tristan's shoes,
he wouldn't have been that charitable.
Shooting a glance at him, Tristan replied, “He's not a love rival. Sophie never liked him, so why would
he be a rival?”
“Are you really that certain, Mr. Tristan? They say familiarity breeds fondness. Just because she didn't
like him before doesn't mean she won't in the future, especially when they've been spending so much
time with each other. Most importantly, I think Mark has a lot of secrets. The fact that we can't even
figure out his identity is in itself extraordinary.”
“Do you think Sophie's the type of person who fools around?”
Fools around? How did Mr. Tristan come up with that? Felix pondered.
