Anything For Her

Chapter 519

“Boss, this is Jipsdale. You can't do as you please, okay?” He was still against the idea of coming here, though they

had already arrived.

After all, it was Tristan's turf.

If they were not careful, they wouldn't even know how they died.

There was a white snake on Nicholas' arms. It would seem like the snake was venomous, but he liked it.

“Alex, you're getting timider and timider by the day. It's only Tristan. What can he do to us? Go back if you're that

afraid,” Nicholas said.

Alex was rendered speechless.

It was impossible to not be afraid of the man. Tristan was as vicious as Nicholas himself.

After what happened in Anglandur, Alex was sure that Tristan wouldn't let them off the hook that easily if he knew

that they were there.

“I've told you that I must take Sophie back with me this time, no matter what it takes. So, you can quit with your

nonsense now,” Nicholas warned.

Why won't he stop talking if he knows I won't listen to him?

“Boss, Sophie sure has a hand in what happened last time. She won't follow you back home. She doesn't like you.

Why can't you see that?” Alex pleaded.

As Nicholas' subordinate, he knew he shouldn't say such blunt words.

However, he just couldn't bear seeing Nicholas get blinded by his own infatuation.

Nicholas' eyes burned with murderous aura.

“Alex, why don't you mind your own business?”

“Boss, I know that you'll get mad, but this is the truth. You have to accept it,” Alex continued.

Nicholas took out a gun and fired a shot at Alex's leg. Despite his bleeding leg, Alex did not budge.

Some truths were like bitter pills that were hard to swallow.

However, Alex still felt the obligation to voice out his concern.

“If we fall into Sophie's hands, she will not show mercy to us. Just look at what happened last time!” Alex added.

“This is all because of Tristan. If he dies, Sophie will surely follow me back home,” Nicholas insisted.

He was an exceptionally stubborn man.

Once he made up his mind, there was no changing it.

“But...”

“Take him away. I don't want to see him,” Nicholas said to another subordinate.

“Boss—”

The consequences would be dire if Javier knew that Nicholas had come here.

However, Nicholas was unwilling to listen to a word Alex had said now.

Nicholas knew that it would be too late if he didn't come here now.

He didn't want to wait anymore.

Despite knowing full well the price he would pay for his actions, Nicholas was there.

He vowed that he would bring home the girl whom he loved.

Nobody would be able to stop him.

Butterfly sent a message on her way over to Blossom Garden.

Butterfly: Phantom, didn't you ask me to tail this person? He's come to Chanaea, and he's at Jipsdale now!

Phantom seldom entrusted her with anything. Hence, she wanted to do it right.

Phantom: Okay.

Sophie furrowed her brows.

They haven't learned anything from last time. How dare they come all the way here this soon?

Butterfly: Do you need me to do anything?

She cared a lot about Phantom, and she knew how difficult it was to deal with Nicholas.

Phantom: You don't need to do anything. You just have to ensure your own safety. Don't get yourself hurt.

Pleased by Phantom worrying about her, Butterfly replied: You're worried about me! Don't worry. I am best at tailing

people.

Nonetheless, Phantom wouldn't risk Butterfly getting hurt.

Butterfly: Understood!

Noticing Sophie's odd demeanor, Tristan couldn't help but ask, “What happened? Why are you getting upset? Are

you nervous?”

“Hmm. I'm all right,” she muttered.

Am I feeling nervous? That can't be it. I'm just meeting an older man.

Then again, Sophie knew that her apprehension was because she cared about Tristan, and in turn, what his father

thought of her. As long as she could gain the old man's favor, things wouldn't be difficult for Tristan.

Tristan held her hand.

“You're getting together with me. So, you don't need to care about gaining other people's favor. I like you just the

way you are,” Tristan said.

Other people's opinion didn't matter.

Having such a considerate boyfriend by her side made Sophie feel really safe.

“I know.”

She knew that he would do everything to safeguard her.

William had already arrived when their car pulled into the driveway of Blossom Garden. The old man was in a

private room, accompanied by Sarah.

“Look at the time now. Why aren't they here yet?” William grumbled.

It was only their first meeting, and yet Sophie was late.

William couldn't help but think that they were not taking him seriously.

“Dad, why the hurry? There's still plenty of time before the agreed time. You're the one being early. Do you have

prejudice toward Tristan's girlfriend?” Sarah asked with a frown.

If that were the case, things would be much more complicated.

William said nothing.

Well, it seems like Dad really doesn't like this girl.

“Dad, you haven't even met her. Why do you dislike her so? Did someone say something to you?” Sarah asked.

Still, William remained silent.

“Dad, Tristan really likes her. Don't go over the line. Otherwise, it will be really difficult for him,” Sarah advised.

“Sarah, do you really think that girl can cut it? Tristan needs an equal who can help him, not someone who needs

his protection twenty-four-seven,” William finally said.

He just thought a girl who couldn't fend for herself would burden Tristan.

“Sophie isn't a girl who only mooches off a man. She is a really opinionated woman, and I believe that she is an

equal who can stand by Tristan at the top,” Sarah explained.

“Hmm.”

She's a Tanner, huh? I don't seem to recall any great family called the Tanners in Jipsdale.

Right then, Tristan arrived and led Sophie into the private room.

William immediately recognized Sophie as the girl who delivered his coffee back then.

She had left a good impression on William, owing to her good looks. William had thought that the girl's

temperament was too outstanding to be an ordinary girl who served coffee.

“Sir, it's nice to meet you. I'm Sophie Tanner.”

“Really? I believe this is not our first meeting,” William replied.

Sophie knew that he was talking about what happened back in Lombard Group.

“I am sorry. It was impolite of me not to greet you properly back then,” Sophie admitted.

Seeing as she readily admitted to her mistake, William did not pursue the subject further.

Besides, he was afraid that Tristan might leave with her right away if he didn't drop it.

“You're Sophie Tanner, correct? May I ask which Tanner family we are talking about?” William asked.

“My grandpa is Josiah Tanner!” she replied. Sophie was proud of her grandfather. Hence, she quoted his name right

away.

The name rang a bell to William.

“Ah, I see.”

Even though he had heard the name before, William knew the Tanners were not considered a prominent family in

Jipsdale. Hence, he didn't have much impression of what the family actually did.

“Where are you studying right now?”

“University of Medicine and Jipsdale University,” Sophie responded.

“What?”

William was taken aback. Can one attend two famous universities at the same time?

“Dad, did you know that the chancellor of Jipsdale University and Capston University both came looking for Sophie

after she chose University of Medicine?” Sarah said proudly.

She beamed with pride at the thought of Sophie's achievement.
