Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 524

Chapter 524

Nicholas returned to his mansion in Jipsdale. At that moment, he decided to move all of his forces back here.

That was his only way to contend against Tristan while in Jipsdale.

It was only a matter of time before a war started between them, so he had to be prepared.

He saw Javier in the living room as soon as he got there. Instead of greeting the latter, he sat down on the sofa.

He was feeling grumpy, so he didn't feel like speaking at all.

“Nicholas, are you going to ignore everything I said? Go back to Anglandur with me right now!”

Does he have a death wish? To have made my son like this, Sophie sure is a harbinger of misfortune!

“I'll not go back. Also, I'm warning you. You better not lay a finger on Sophie, or else I would never forgive you even though you're my father!”

He wasn't lying. All he wanted at that moment was Sophie, and he would risk everything to get his hands on her.

“Is this a threat? If killing her is the only way to make you submit, so be it.”

Nicholas saw red.

“As I said, either you leave her alone or be killed by me!”

“You—”

Javier was fuming.

“You will come home with me today, you impudent child!” He knew Tristan would never let things slide if he knew Nicholas was there.

Javier had brought along a few of his trusted subordinates as he thought he would have to resort to violence to settle the situation.

That was just the norm for the Sable family. They wouldn't waste their breath on anything that could be settled using violence.

Nicholas got into a brawl with Javier's subordinates.

Throughout the years, he had also gotten himself some loyal subordinates, who then joined the fray upon noting the situation.

In the end, Nicholas proved himself the better of the two by slaughtering all of Javier's men.

The living room was covered in blood.

By then, Nicholas was in a frenzied state.

“Do you have anybody else with you? I will kill everyone around you if you lay a finger on Sophie!”

“You...”

Javier had never expected things to turn out like that.

“How dare you kill all of my subordinates? What are you planning to do now? Are you planning to kill me too?”

He was shaken by how ruthless Nicholas was as the latter went all out.

“Weren't you the one who taught me to be such? You're always telling me never to go soft on others.”

Nicholas thought he was merely honoring his father's wishes by growing into the man the latter had always wanted him to be.

“Bring the old man upstairs. He is not to leave the room without my permission.”

“Are you putting me under house arrest? Don't you forget that I'm your father, Nicholas!”

“I won't do anything to you if you obey me. However, I won't be as lenient if you repeat the same mistakes.”

“Haha...”

Javier couldn't help but let out a mirthless chuckle. His interest was piqued, and he wished to know what his son would do to him exactly.

“Keep in mind that I'll kill you two if my father escapes.”

By that point, Nicholas was like an embodiment of the devil. He was devoid of compassion and would kill anyone that got in his way.

Even Javier feared Nicholas upon taking in how savage the latter was.

Yet, Nicholas' behavior was a testament to Javier's success.

After all, it had been his wish to groom Nicholas into someone like that.

Nonetheless, he still regarded Sophie as someone to be dealt with, for her existence was an unwanted variable.

After his many years in the underground, he disliked such variables.

He figured he could perhaps hire the world's top assassin.

Given how the world worked, people could do as they pleased as long as they were wealthy.

The next day, Sophie noticed Nicholas waiting for her as soon as she arrived at the University of Medicine.

She wasn't surprised by his presence. After all, he had traveled from abroad just to find her.

“Good morning,” Nicholas greeted her smilingly.

While he might be cold to everybody else, he was passionate toward Sophie.

However, Sophie ignored him completely while proceeding with her daily routine.

“Have you moved in with that man?” Nicholas had seen them enter together last night.

Sophie said nothing.

Did he stalk me? I've had enough of this. How long is this going to drag on? Why do things always end up like this?

“Does it concern you? Who I am with and if we're living together concerns no one else but myself. Why do I need to report it to you?”

He never seems to know his place. This isn't something good.

Nicholas wasn't surprised by her treatment of him and how impatient she was.

It was as if her patience was only offered to Tristan and no one else.

“I'm trying to show you that I care. You need to know that you're still young, so there's a lot that you have yet to learn. You'll be hurt easily if you get together with him just like that!” He just couldn't bear to see her with another man. That was all there was to it.

“I don't need this. I don't need your concern. I believe you know this better than anyone else, Nicholas. Stop putting on a caring facade, or rather, even if you do have true feelings for me, they aren't what I want. You don't have to waste any more time on me!”

She figured he didn't need to put them through all the drama.

“It is my right to love you.”

This is something she can't interfere with no matter how impressive a woman she is. She can't control these kinds of things.

“I'll go to class with you. To be honest, I'm rather interested in how lessons are taught here!”

Nicholas had left for Anglandur at a young age and had received foreign education ever since.

The main reason he made that suggestion was that he wanted to know everything about her and live through the same experience as her.

“You better not follow me around.”

She couldn't just bring a stranger to class without reason.

“What is it? Are you worried that Tristan might get jealous? He's not around now. He wouldn't know even if you're together with me.”

Sophie remained silent.

Her patience for someone as stubborn as him had worn out.

“Are you picking a fight with me?”

She believed that nothing couldn't be solved with a fight.

If he wants to fight me so much, I don't mind bashing him here and now.

“Why must you treat me like this, Sophie? I've thought things through. Since I've returned, I will get my hands on you, no matter what!” Nicholas declared obnoxiously.

So what if she already has Tristan? I've come back to Chanaea, and I will take her back by all means necessary.

“Are you insane? Must I ruin you before you give up on me?”

“You're wrong! I won't give up on you even if you ruin me completely. I'm telling you I will never, ever give up on you!” Nicholas didn't care, even if it meant either Tristan or he had to die.
