Chapter 378
“Nicholas sustained an injury last night. It's all because of you. Am I right?” Javier questioned. Sure enough, his sole purpose in calling Sophie was to interrogate her about that matter.
“Is it though? He can't blame anyone but himself for getting injured. What does it have to do with me? Judging from the kind of person he is, I reckon many people are interested in taking his life,” Sophie snapped, not showing any courtesy.
It was unnecessary for her to have any respect for an elderly like Javier, who had made several attempts to kill her.
“Then why did you still come to Anglandur? I've already warned you not to approach Nicholas, haven't I? Why can't you just listen to me?”
Every remark he made is to threaten me. Sophie could not help but sneer.
“Why can't I visit Anglandur? Do you own the entire country? Old Mr. Sable, I'm warning you, don't show up before me. Or else, I'm not even sure what I'm going to do by then,” she retorted impertinently.
“Is that so? You're thinking of killing me, right? Hmph! We'll see if you're capable of such a feat!” Javier had always been exceptionally haughty his whole life, and he never really treated anyone with respect.
“Try me then! We'll see who is the ultimate loser!”
Sophie couldn't be bothered entertaining the old man. She disconnected the call right after she finished her sentence.
Furious after being hung up on, Javier tossed his phone aside and snapped, “What a lofty young lady!”
Javier had long since known that he would not be able to keep Sophie under control. That was the reason why he had always wanted to end her life.
The present Sophie had become even haughtier than she was a few years ago.
Thus, there was no way the old man would allow someone like Sophie to live on.
“Calm down, Boss. We're at Anglandur. There are plenty of ways to make an expendable young lady disappear.”
“Good. Go ahead and make the necessary arrangements. Don't ever let her leave this place alive,” instructed Javier, going to extreme lengths.
“Understood, Boss.”
Concurrently, Tristan took note of Sophie's demeanor when she was on the phone just then and frowned.
“Who was that?” he asked.
“An annoying old man!”
Verily, Sophie despised the old man from the Sable family.
She had never hated someone so much in her entire life.
In most cases, she wouldn't let anyone get to her no matter who it was, but Javier was an exception. She truly disliked the old man.
“Old Mr. Sable? Nicholas Sable's father?” Tristan did not mean to eavesdrop. It was just that he happened to be by her side, so he naturally heard the conversation.
“Yes.” Since he had already heard everything, it was pointless for her to deny it.
“How do you get acquainted with him?”
“We aren't acquainted. It's just that we despise each other. He dislikes me, and I don't like him either.”
“How about Nicholas Sable? Do you know him?”
“I've met him before.”
Sophie did not intend to hide anything from Tristan.
“I see.” Tristan did not probe further, even though still oblivious to the many secrets of her past.
Neither of those will affect my feelings for her.
“Don't worry. No one can hurt you when I'm here,” Tristan reassured. So what if it's the Sable family? I don't give a d*mn about them!
“Mr. Tristan, I don't want to cause you trouble even though we're in a relationship. I can handle all of these myself.”
“How can you say that? You aren't causing any trouble for me. Even if you do cause trouble, I'm happy to help you solve your problems. I'm the only person you can cause trouble for. Don't ever trouble someone else, okay?” Tristan dotingly brushed his finger against her nose.
He was more than happy to be able to help Sophie with her troubles.
“How do you manage to melt my heart every time?” Sophie uttered after giving him a peck on the cheek.
My heart turned to mush after I met him. I've changed so much that I'm no longer who I used to be in the past.
At that moment, Ophelia walked out of the study. Her gaze remained fixed on Tristan when she saw the intimate interaction between the couple.
Felix, who was watching at the side, could not help letting out a sigh.
Ophelia is indeed a talented young lady. She'll surely be successful if she focuses on her career. However, she's destined to be left with nothing if she stays obsessed with Mr. Tristan.
