Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Tanner. We're the police in this area. Presently, your sister and mother are in a room on the second floor. The suspect requests to meet with you.”

The hostages were still in the suspect's hands, so the police didn't dare do anything drastic.

“Got it. I'll go upstairs right away.”

“For your safety, Ms. Tanner, I'd advise you not to do so. Just entrust this matter to the police.”

Although the suspect put forth this demand, this lady was the one who handed the evidence of Clayton Zales' crimes to us. Therefore, she'll be in danger if she were to go upstairs now.

“It's okay. Don't worry, for I know what I'm doing!”

I'm not afraid of him. Instead, I'd like to see what else he wants from me.

“In that case, put on a bulletproof vest, Ms. Tanner. You'll have a layer of protection if the suspect is in possession of a weapon.”

“No, it's fine.”

At the end of her patience, Sophie strode right up the stairs.

“Attention, everyone. Be on standby, and once there's an opportunity, take the suspect down at once!”

Initially, the plan was to arrest the suspect and bring him back to the station. But now that he poses a threat to others, we've got no choice but to eliminate him.

"But that's Clayton Zales!”

The Zales family is a prominent family in Jipsdale. If we were to shoot to kill, they'll probably demand an explanation.

“Lives are at stake here, so listen to me. If something really happens, I'll bear the responsibility alone.” So what if he's a member of the Zales family? Clayton Zales committed a crime, so he still has to be arrested.

At that exact moment, Eustace arrived.

“Why are you here, Captain Sheppard?”

I don't think such a trivial case would be assigned to him.

“Where's Sophie? Has she gone upstairs?”

Eustace happened to overhear that something happened at the Tanner residence, so he immediately put everything aside and rushed over.

Despite knowing that Sophie was pretty capable, he still couldn't help wanting to come over for a look at such a time.

In truth, he hoped that he could be of some help.

“Yes. The suspect requested to see her.”

“Okay, got it. Right now, have your subordinates obey my directives.”

Mere moments after Eustace arrived, Tristan and Felix arrived as well.

When Tristan didn't see any signs of Sophie in the living room, his expression darkened.

"Where's Sophie?”

“Who are you? This is a crime scene, and only authorized personnel are allowed!” a police officer stated bluntly, for he didn't recognize Tristan.

“Calm down, Mr. Tristan. Sophie is highly capable, so she'll be fine.”

He rushed over the instant he learned about the matter. And he's currently looking grim, so he must be worried sick.

“I only want to know where she is right now!”

No matter how capable Sophie was, she was an ordinary woman to Tristan, and he didn't want to see her suffering the slightest harm.

“She's upstairs.”

This man's aura is simply too strong that I can't handle him.

“Don't worry, Mr. Tristan. With me here, Sophie will be fine.” Eustace once dined with them, so he was naturally aware of Tristan's relationship with Sophie.

“I'll protect my woman myself.”

After saying that, Tristan made a beeline for the stairs.

“I know you're anxious now, but you'd only anger Clayton if you were to go upstairs now. Let's wait for a bit more.” Felix promptly held him back.

Sophie isn't a brainless person. Since she dared to go in, I'm sure she has a way of getting back out.

Meanwhile, Sophie had already entered the room bare-handed. At the sight of Charmaine on the floor, a frown marred her countenance.

Clayton, on the other hand, cackled upon seeing that she had finally come.
