Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 567

A look of insanity filled Jennifer's eyes. As long as I have a hold on Sophie's weakness, I'll be able to make her do whatever I want her to do! With this, I'll make her suffer! It's her fault for snatching my man away!

“Are you crazy?” Minerva stared at her in disbelief. “If you really mean what you said, then you're not the Jennifer I knew in the past anymore! The Jennifer in front of me right now is just a madwoman!”

“That's right. I am mad. No one is allowed to take the man I have my eyes on from me! There's no way I'll give up after waiting so long!”

Shaking her head, Minerva uttered, “I'm telling you this as a friend, so listen to me well. If you continue down this path, you'll destroy yourself.”

If not for their established bond since childhood, she really wouldn't have bothered to care about Jennifer at this point.

“Even you refuse to believe me, Minerva? I just want the love I deserve. Is that so wrong?” Jennifer had always been an excellent girl who could get whatever she wanted.

That was why she was having such a hard time accepting the reality of her doomed love.

“Can't you see that Tristan loves Sophie?” Minerva closed her eyes, unable to bear looking at the current Jennifer.

At those words, Jennifer leaped to her feet. She glared at Minerva in a manner that resembled a snake preparing to strike.

Minerva stepped backward as she was terrified by Jennifer's expression.

“Aren't you my best friend, Minerva? Is it really okay for you to hurt me like this?” Jennifer demanded.

Shaking her head, Minerva rebuked, “Since you aren't willing to listen to anyone right now, I'm not going to speak further! However, I still want to advise you to be kinder. Sophie's grandfather did nothing wrong! There's no need for you to drag an old man into this!”

That was all she had to say to Jennifer, who felt so unfamiliar to her at that moment. It feels like I've never met the woman in front of me before.

As Jennifer watched Minerva leave, she smiled. It seems like no one supports me. Even though she's my best friend, she doesn't believe me too! How can she act that way? It doesn't matter. One day, I'll show everyone that I'm right. Tristan will be my man!

Lately, Alex's eyelid had been jumping.

Truth be told, people who worked in the same field as him tended to be superstitious. It was why he had recently been having a bad feeling that something terrible would happen.

When he contacted Javier, he reported the recent situation to the old man.

Javier had already returned to Anglandur, though he also had no idea what to do about Nicholas.

“Old Mr. Sable, Mr. Nicholas wants to kill Tristan. However, we're in Jipsdale right now. Even if we were back in Anglandur, I'm not sure it'd be possible to kill him. Tristan is just too unpredictable! If this continues, I'm afraid—” Alex cut himself off when he saw Nicholas entering the room.

“It seems like you have a pretty bad memory, Alex!” Nicholas' voice sounded icy, akin to a chilling wind in the height of winter.

In response, Alex hung up the phone.

“Mr. Nicholas, I...” At that moment, Nicholas seemed so terrifying that Alex couldn't help but step backward.

Pointing his gun at Alex, Nicholas yelled, “Why do you still not know what kind of person I hate the most, even after staying by my side for so many years?”

There was no way Alex didn't know what kind of person Nicholas was after all these years.

It could even be said that he knew Nicholas better than the latter knew himself.

However, regardless of what he was going to say, it would be of no use because Nicholas, in his utterly crazed state, wouldn't listen to anyone at that moment.

Still, Alex attempted to calm him down. “I was wrong, Mr. Nicholas!”

“Wrong? If you knew you were wrong, you wouldn't keep repeating the same mistake. It seems like the lesson I taught you last time wasn't enough,” Nicholas threatened.

With no other choice, Alex kneeled and uttered sorrowfully, “I'm doing this for your own good, Mr. Nicholas! You know what kind of person Tristan is! We can't kill him in Jipsdale!”

“Is Tristan more powerful than me in your mind? There's no one in this world I can't kill!”

In response, Alex shook his head. “He's not more powerful than you, but this is his territory. No matter what we do, it won't be as convenient as if we were still in Anglandur.”

Nicholas was enraged. “Do you think you have the right to keep staying by my side when you can't even handle such a simple task?”

Then he pulled the trigger.

The shot didn't land on a vital organ, though.

After all, he still had an emotional connection with Alex because the latter had stayed by his side for many years and did so many things for him.

“This is your last chance. If I catch you doing this again, I won't show you any mercy!” Nicholas asserted.

Staring at the gunshot wound in his thigh, Alex smiled bitterly. Mr. Nicholas is actually a pretty sentimental guy. It's because of Sophie that he became so stubborn and obsessed. If he had never met her, he wouldn't have turned out like this. As I expected, love can make someone better or destroy them completely. Is Sophie's death the only way for him to return to his original self—the cold, prideful head of the Sable family? If that's the only way, then I'm willing to sacrifice my life to kill Sophie.

Once again, Nicholas stalked Sophie. He was well aware of what she had been doing throughout the day.

The only problem was that he didn't have the guts to show up in front of her again.

He wasn't even scared of dying, yet he was afraid of hearing her utter those words once more because they only brought him utter despair.

Of course, Sophie knew someone was stalking her.

She was getting annoyed after being followed for the whole day, so she directly confronted him. “What will it take for you to give up, Nicholas?”

The only reason she was dragging things out instead of just killing him was that Josiah would definitely not forgive her.

“I'm just watching you from a distance. I'm not affecting you in any way, am I not?” Nicholas responded humbly. Why is it so hard for me to just like someone?

“You're affecting me by stalking me.” Standing in front of him, Sophie looked as though she was going to fight him in the next second.

“I just want you to look at me a little more, Sophie. Is that so much to ask for?” Nicholas still thought his request wasn't anything outrageous.

“I love Tristan, and nothing anyone can do will change my mind!”

“Do you believe in him that much? Is he really as good as you think he is? What if he betrays you? Will you still trust him then?”

“No, he wouldn't betray me!” She understood Tristan very well. It was only natural she was confident in the person she handpicked as her life partner.
