CHAPTER 800 BY FORCE
Nicholas was going through all that trouble just so he could at least have a glimpse of Sophie. Even hearing her voice would suffice.
“Don't hurt Butterfly. I won't let you off if you do.” Furious beyond measure, Sophie straight up ended the call.
Tristan knew that Butterfly was kidnapped by Nicholas just by looking at how angry Sophie was.
He then came over and put his arms around her shoulders.
“Don't fret. We'll be able to handle any situation that comes our way.” Being angry wouldn't change anything.
“Nicholas got Butterfly.” Sophie didn't need to hide anything from Tristan. There were no secrets between them.
“I know.”
Tristan really wanted to tear Nicholas apart. Nicholas had always been lurking around them, bringing them nothing but trouble.
“Don't worry. I'll bring Butterfly back,” Tristan uttered. Based on Sophie and Butterfly's relationship, Sophie would never sit back and do nothing when Butterfly was kidnapped by Nicholas.
“No. I can't let you go.” Nicholas hated Tristan too much, and based on Nicholas' temperament, he would never hand Butterfly over if Tristan was the one who went.
“Trust me, Sophie. I promise I'll bring Butterfly back safely.” Tristan would never let Sophie meet up with Nicholas alone, and he would never ignore anything that had to do with Sophie.
“I'm serious, Tristan. You can't go. Nicholas won't hurt me if I go, but you? He's not that easy to deal with when he goes crazy.” The reason why they couldn't really do anything to Nicholas was because he was not easy to handle. That was why this was happening to them now.
“And you think I'll be okay with you going there alone?” Yes, Sophie was a formidable fighter, but that was still Nicholas' territory that she would be entering.
Nicholas was also someone who was talented and had power. He wouldn't be able to live this long if it weren't for those.
“But I can't just leave Butterfly like that.” Butterfly was Sophie's underling, so she would never leave Butterfly in that situation. There was no way Sophie could let that happen.
“I never said that.”
“All right! I got it. I'll think this matter over carefully.” Maybe Old Mr. Sable would be able to help me out.
Javier never thought that Sophie would contact him since he wished for nothing but her death.
“How dare you call me, Sophie? I still haven't settled the score with you for killing Alex.”
“Hah.” Sophie scoffed, wondering why he would think she would not dare call him.
“Old Mr. Sable, I know how much you care for Nicholas. He has captured someone dear to me, but if you can make him set her free, then maybe we could collaborate again.” By now, Nicholas' obsessiveness had grown to the point it was like a disease.
“Collaborate? Do I need to collaborate with you? I want to kill you more than collaborate with you!” There was nothing to collaborate about from Javier's point of view.
Javier still hadn't gotten over Alex's death, and based on how Alex was dealt with, he knew that Sophie would never go easy on Nicholas.
He knew that Sophie would kill Nicholas if she had the chance.
“Isn't it your wish that Nicholas be treated? I can make him visit the psychiatrist if you can bring Butterfly out. You should know his condition. He's now mentally ill, and he'll be done for if he doesn't see a psychiatrist now.”
“You—”
How dare she talk about Nicholas that way! No matter how terrible Nicholas was, he was still Javier's son, and Javier would never let anyone talk about his son that way.
“I'll give you a day to think about it. I can still save Butterfly even if you don't accept my proposal, but I can't promise what will happen to Nicholas then.”
Sophie was never someone to beg for help.
The reason why she even sought out Javier was for a collaboration, but if he didn't accept her proposal, she had other ideas as well.
Javier went and looked for Nicholas after hanging up the call. He was truly worried when he saw what his son had become.
Both Sophie and Tristan were not easy opponents.
Javier couldn't be assured of Nicholas' continued survival if things went on, so he started thinking about what the right choice would be.
Nicholas furrowed his brows when he noticed Javier looking at him.
“Old man, didn't I tell you to rest at your own mansion? You better not butt into my business!”
Nicholas didn't need anyone interfering with what he was doing.
He could make his own decisions and didn't want anyone interfering in his business or giving him any advice.
Javier was sitting on the couch, staring at Nicholas seriously.
“I heard you kidnapped one of Sophie's men. Nicholas, Alex is already dead. Can't you give up? What's the point in clinging to her? You know she doesn't like you.”
Nicholas didn't answer him.
He really didn't want to talk about his relationship problems with his father since liking and not liking someone was between him and Sophie, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.
So what if she doesn't like me? I don't care as long as she can be by my side. Nothing is more important than that, Nicholas thought.
“Nicholas, I'm your father. I won't harm you. Go visit a psychiatrist. Who knows what will happen if you continue with your obsession!” Tristan was a cruel man filled with bloodlust. They had provoked him, and now, they needed to stop.
“You weren't like this before, Dad. Since when did you become such a coward? I told you I'll be able to deal with whoever comes my way, so don't worry.” Unwilling to continue the conversation, Nicholas went upstairs. He just didn't want to converse with anyone right now.
Javier stood with the help of his cane and looked at Nicholas' back with grimness in his eyes. In the past, Nicholas had Alex by his side to watch out for him.
Now, Richard had taken Alex's place. Richard and Alex were the same in that they were both deeply loyal to Nicholas.
If this went on, Nicholas would really be killed by their indulgence in him.
After heading back, Javier immediately called Sophie.
“I'll accept your proposal, but you have to promise me something. Promise that you'll make him visit a psychiatrist after this.”
Javier had no choice but to admit that Nicholas was mentally ill. He had become too obsessive and violent.
After hanging up the call, Javier took a deep breath.
He knew he had to be very careful when it came to this matter as Nicholas wouldn't let him off if he knew about this.
The Nicholas now had already lost all reasoning.
Sophie was clearly relieved when she got the call from Javier. She did have other ways to save Butterfly, but this method was the safest way.
Tristan gently hugged her when he saw her reaction.
“You don't have to do it like this, you know.” Wouldn't it be easier to just bring Butterfly back by force?
