He would believe anything that Sophie said.
“It''s not that I don''t trust her. After all, we''ve been acquainted for a long time, so I know the kind of
person she is. I believe she won''t do anything to harm you.”
“Don''t ever say something like that again,” said Tristan.
He would listen carefully to whatever Sophie wanted to say, but if thetter was reluctant to talk about
something, he would never allow anyone to force her hand.
Felix could only shake his head.
Verily, that was the first time he had ever witnessed Tristan behaving like that.
Thus, he couldn''t help feeling concerned.
“Mr. Tristan, I understand that you love her, but we still need to get to the bottom of some things.” After
being friends with Tristan for such a long time, Felix didn''t want the former to get hurt by a woman.
“Felix, there''s no turning back once you''re hopelessly in love with someone.” Sophie was like a toxic
drug that had invaded his system.
He could no longer escape from her even if he knew he was being gradually poisoned to death.
“I wonder whether you should consider yourself lucky or not,” said Felix.
Felix could only hope that Sophie''s feelings for Tristan were sincere.
“All right. Don''t worry about me. Just do what you should do and I''ll handle the rest.”
He had faith in his own judgment and was confident that nothing would go wrong.
“Fine. I know I''m just yourckey, and since you never once listen to what I have to say, do as you
wish.”

Regardless of how things panned out or what danger was lurking around the corner, they would remain
by his side and would never abandon him.
That was what best buddies were for. Though they weren''t rted by blood, they shared a bond
stronger than biological brothers.
Felix was upied with work in the branchpany for the entire day.
Tristan, on the other hand, was also handling some tricky work-rted matters. By the time everything
was settled, it was already five in the afternoon.
When Tristan and Felix returned to the mansion, the butler had already prepared dinner.
“Wee back, Mr. Tristan and Mr. Northley. I''ll go and inform Ms. Tanner toe downstairs and join
both of you for dinner,” the butler enthused.
“That won''t be necessary. I''ll do it.”
Tristan removed his coat and handed it over to the butler while Felix made his way to the dining table to
take a seat.
“Mr. Tristan, please don''t forget that we still have a flight to catch.” It was unknown how much time
Tristan would spend upstairs since the couple was still in the honeymoon phase of their rtionship
and would find it hard to restrain themselves from indulging in a passionate moment.
“Felix, I won''t consider you mute even if you kept your mouth shut. Enough with all your nonsense,”
warned Tristan. Looks like he still hasn''t learned his lesson.
Felix immediately swallowed his words.
“Fine. I''ll shut up. Happy?” Felix was slightly worried. Ophelia was quite a capable woman, and she had
already familiarized herself with the operation of thepany in less than two days. If she could focus
on her job, the branchpany in Norham would be in good hands.
Unfortunately, she had foolishly fallen in love with Tristan. Hence, Felix wondered if she would stir up
trouble in the future.
His head hurt at the thought, but there was nothing else he could do, for he hadn''t told Tristan about
Ophelia''s feelings yet.
Besides, the woman had not done anything untoward for the time being, and it was not like Felix could
stop her from falling in love with Tristan.
Sophie had just sessfully hacked into Nichs''pany''s system to obtain top-secret information
when Tristan entered the room.
A cruel smile appeared on her face.
He would pay the price for repeatedly provoking me, or he''ll never learn.
After masking her identity, Sophie sent the confidential information she stole to Nichs'' longstanding
rival.
Sometimes, one could still achieve one''s goal without having to make the move personally.
Once she was done, she stood up to stretch her stiff muscles, for she had been busy hacking into
Nichs''puter for the entire afternoon.
Although the process had been grueling, noputer system was imprable to her.
The incident would keep Nichs busy for some time, and he wouldn''t be able to cause trouble any
time soon.
Tristan opened the door and entered the room.
“Why have you been staying in the room all day? You should go out and get some fresh air.”
“I''ve been busy. It''s almost time, right? How''s everything going so far?”
She should be leaving as there were only three days left before the university entrance exam.
“You can stay. I don''t mind going home alone if things here haven''t been settled.”
There was no need for him to apany her on the trip back home.
Tristan pulled her close and rested his chin on her shoulder.
“What''s wrong? Are you tired?”
“I''m fine, Sophie. What are you talking about? How can I not be by your side at such an important
moment in your life?”
“Don''t tell me you''re thinking of going to the exam venue with me.”
“But of course.”
Seriously? It''s usually the parents'' job to apany their children to the examination hall. Is my
boyfriend actually going with me?
“Don''t you find it romantic?”
Sophie shook her head in exasperation.
“What''s so romantic about waiting outside in the scorching summer heat just like the rest of the
parents? I''m not going to earn a higher score just because you''re waiting outside.”
Sophie couldn''t see his logic of apanying her to the examination hall.
“Don''t worry. I''ll be waiting in the car with the air-conditioning on, so I won''t get heatstroke.”
“You''re missing the point!” Sophie turned to nce at him dubiously. What is going on inside his head?
“We''ll get back to thister. Let''s go and grab some dinner now before going back.”
“Okay.”
Forget it. It''s no point trying to reason with him because he won''t listen. If he wants to return with me, I
should just let him.
At the same time, Nichs had already constructed a n to take Tristan''s life, but before he could
execute it, his rivalunched a surprise attack on him.
A gunfight broke out between the tworgest gangs of Anndur.
There were numerous casualties left in the wake of the battle.
It was already seven in the evening by the time Nichs managed to extract himself from the situation.
Alex was standing beside him.
When the man noticed that his boss was bleeding, he offered, “Boss, why don''t I drive you to the
hospital to get your wounds tended?”
He himself had also sustained many injuries but wisely chose not to say anything about it.
“Shut up!”
Nichs was livid.
“What are the chances of us killing Tristan if we go after him now?” asked Nichs. Alex was the one
who arranged everything.
“I''m afraid we''d simply be carrying out a suicide mission if we were to pursue him now, Boss. Look at
the number of casualties we suffered.”
“D*mn it!” Nichs couldn''t help but curse.
“You go and investigate why Wayne and his gang attacked us all of a sudden. Also, find out how they
got their hands on our confidential information!”
“Yes, Boss, right away. Please calm down.”
Nichs still didn''t have the slightest clue as to who was behind all that even up to this point.
It was a terrible feeling to be kept in the dark.
Who the h*ll is it? Do they really harbor such a grudge against me?
The thought of Sophie returning to the country with Tristan and the fact that he himself was in such a
pathetic state irked him to no end. s, there wasn''t an outlet for him to vent his pent-up anger.
