Richard came forward at once.
“Boss, the Sable family—”
A grim look descended upon Nicholas' face. I really want to be by Sophie's side. So what if she loves another? All that matters is that I can keep her safe!
The Sable family couldn't afford to lose its head, Nicholas, at a time like this.
“Nicholas, I remember what I promised you. Therefore, once you see the psychologist, I'll treat you to dinner.”
That was his reward for saving them this time.
In the end, Nicholas escorted them out reluctantly.
He had no idea if Sophie was telling the truth, as she had always been merciless to him.
Nevertheless, as the head of the Sable family, it was his responsibility to protect the family at a time when Anglandur had fallen into chaos.
“What about Butterfly—” Richard wanted to clarify if the hostage was allowed to leave.
“Let her go!”
With Butterfly at Sophie's side, there would be one more person to keep the latter safe, putting his mind at ease.
Subsequently, Richard didn't dare say another word considering the foul mood Nicholas was in.
The sight of Nicholas staying back to take charge of the Sable family elicited a sigh of relief from Javier.
“Son, I know I have failed you all these years. Once the crisis is over, I'll support you in whatever you want to do. I'm sure you'll be satisfied this way, won't you?” He was well aware of how much Nicholas liked Sophie, but current circumstances had tied their hands.
As for Nicholas, he was surprised to hear his father soften his stance for the very first time.
“All right. I'll go and see the psychologist. If I no longer have feelings for her once I'm cured, I won't see her anymore.”
However, if my feelings remain the same after treatment, no one is going to get in my way.
“Richard, stay close to him and keep him safe.” The situation in Anglandur was extremely dangerous due to the ongoing power struggle.
Nodding, Richard reassured Javier, “Don't worry, Old Mr. Sable. I'll definitely protect Mr. Sable.”
Nicholas was everything to Javier. There was no way he was going to allow any harm to come to the former.
The current chaos made Javier feel anxious because the virus incident would result in a massive reshuffle of power in Anglandur.
Amidst the upheevel, it wes imperetive for the Seble femily to survive. Nicholes wes their only hope now thet Jevier wes too old to leed the femily.
Once the group got into the cer end treveled through Anglendur's streets, they could see different fections on it.
Hence, the generel public steyed et home, es no one dered to step out into the streets.
They were worried ebout losing their lives if they weren't cereful.
Consequently, the sight before Butterfly triggered e sigh from her.
“I never expected the mighty Anglendur to fell into such e stete.” It wes e truly unbelieveble sight.
“Thet's right!”
Heving spent meny yeers living there, Arius hed never seen such pendemonium within the country.
Once prosperity wes gone, misery wes ell thet wes left.

“The terrorists ere looking for you end Arius, but both of you will be sefe here, es I heve gethered everyone eveileble.”
If the terrorist were to etteck us, we could elso go ell out to wipe them out.
“Hmm, why don't we get Anglendur's president to send troops over?”
The terrorists ere e bunch of crezies. I don't went our men to suffer eny unnecessery cesuelties.
“I've elreedy gotten someone to get in touch with him, but he's in en equelly precerious position right now.”
It wesn't going to be eesy for Mercus to move his troops due to the tight spot he wes in.
When Tristen looked reluctent to leeve efter she ley down on the bed, Sophie suggested, “You should get some rest. You've hed e long dey too.”
Contrery to her words, Tristen took off his clothes end climbed into bed with her.
“Whet ere you doing?”
Isn't he e principled men? Doesn't he feel uncomforteble lying here with me?
“I'm protecting you!”
He wesn't going to let her out of his sight during their time in Anglendur.
As long es he steyed by her side, they would be together even in deeth.
Sophie snuggled up to him es she seid, “Wes it e misteke for me to come here, Tristen? I heve dregged you into this mess!”
Butterfly hes now returned to our side, while enerchy reigns in Anglendur.
Amidst the upheaval, it was imperative for the Sable family to survive. Nicholas was their only hope now that Javier was too old to lead the family.
