Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 832

Chapter 832 Eavesdropping

“On top of that, you don't have to worry about me getting involved with him in any way,” Sophie declared.

Once she had said her piece, she strode out of Javier's study.

The moment she left, Nicholas emerged from the shadows, eliciting a sigh from Javier.

“What's your goal in getting me to hear those words? Didn't I already tell you? Stop wasting your time!”

At that moment, sorrow was the only thing Nicholas felt. Nothing else really mattered, for what Sophie said was true.

“Nicholas, why are you such a failure? Didn't she make herself clear? She has no feelings for you at all. In that case, you should do what's necessary. Now that you have a golden opportunity, do you still need me to remind you of it?”

Tristan never had the intention of letting Nicholas go.

Now that the former was here in their home, killing Tristan would be extremely easy.

“I don't want Sophie to hate me.” He obviously knew that this was the best chance he had but couldn't bear the lifelong burden of Sophie's animosity.

Javier inhaled a deep breath.

“Nicholas, are you really my son? Since when do I have such a failure like you as my son?” He has forsaken his family on the account of love.

Nicholas remained silent, for it was a question he didn't have the answer to.

“Let me remind you again that this is as close as you would ever come to killing him. If you let him go, he might not return the favor next time.” They had no illusions as to how ruthless Tristan was.

“If I die in his hands, I'll gladly accept my fate.” No matter what, he wasn't going to kill Tristan in front of Sophie.

Meanwhile, Sophie went to see Tristan in his room.

“I've ordered someone to pick us up.” It wasn't safe for them to continue lingering in Nicholas' territory. If the latter harbored any hostile intentions, they would be put in an extremely precarious position.

Sophie nodded in agreement. “Got it.”

It's true that staying back isn't a good idea.

She was then pulled into Tristan's embrace.

“What's on your mind?”

“I was just thinking about everything that happened recently,” Sophie answered, as exhaustion caused her to lean into his embrace.

“Now's not the time for that. You should get some sleep instead.” She hasn't gotten any rest during her time at International Medical Association. After all that has happened today, she must be exhausted.

“No, I can rest when I'm home.” Truth be told, she didn't fully trust Nicholas still.

Given that the latter never stopped finding ways to kill Tristan, there was no way she could sleep at a time like this.

“Sure.” Tristan didn't want to pressure her. After all, his men were arriving soon, and she could have all the rest she needed when they were home.

Meanwhile, even after Marcus' men combed the primeval forest, they failed to locate Sophie and her companions.

After Barney learned about the shootout in the forest, his expression drastically changed.

“Dr. Smith, as you can see, the men I've sent were unable to locate them. Now that chaos reigns across Anglandur, you have to step forward and take charge.” Marcus had run out of ideas.

Barney took a deep breath before replying, “I understand.”

There was no way he could ignore the devastation created by the virus.
