Chapter 747 A Trap
Knowing Barney was going out to eat with someone, Sophie naturally couldn''t let him go alone. Hence,
she decided to apany him.
The restaurant that Remus invited them to was very famous in Anndur. He was already waiting for
them when they arrived.
He and his assistant had been standing outside the restaurant in the cold for a long time, deliberately
putting on an act.
When Remus saw Barney and Sophie, he immediately rushed over to open the car door for Barney.
“Dr. Smith, you''re finally here. I thought I would never see you again in this life!” Remus put on a pained
and distressed look.

Arius rolled his eyes. What is he babbling about? What does he mean by not seeing us again in this
life? We just went to Chanaea. Why would he not be able to see us anymore?
Meanwhile, Barney didn''t bother with deciphering Remus'' words.
“It''s cold outside. Let''s go in and talk.” Barney''s aplishments in medicine were unparalleled, but he
was an honest and righteous person. Hence, he was not a match for Remus.
“Okay, Dr. Smith. This way, please!”
Remus instantly led the way.
Sophie and Arius followed behind Barney. The many bodyguards in charge of looking out for Sophie
had to remain outside as they couldn''t enter the restaurant.
Although their mission was to protect Sophie, they felt that she should be safe in a famous restaurant in
Anndur.
“Boss, are we really not going in to take a look?” Although it was a restaurant, it was still possible for
something to happen inside.
“There''s no need. They won''t be in any danger for now,” the leader of the bodyguards responded. This
was also why he allowed Sophie and the others to go in by themselves.
Otherwise, he would have followed them in already.
“I see!”
The young bodyguard who asked the question fell silent. He''s right. We were all personally chosen by
Mr. Tristan. Hence, we will never let anything happen to Ms. Tanner. We will definitely not disappoint
Mr. Tristan.
Meanwhile, Barney and the others entered the private room. Barney took the main seat while Remus
and Sophie sat to his left and right respectively. Arius then sat beside Sophie.
“Arius, there''s been a bit of a misunderstanding between us. This time, I genuinely want to apologize to
you guys. You should know that in a position like mine, many things are beyond my control. I didn''t
want to take over Dr. Smith''s position, but I had no choice when it was the higher-ups'' orders. Dr.
Smith, you can understand this, right?”
Barney waved his hand.
“Remus, you don''t have to exin. Since I decided to leave, I knew that someone would have to take
my ce. I have no thoughts on this matter, and you don''t need to feel burdened,” he said.
“Dr. Smith, I knew you were a magnanimous person and wouldn''t hold it against me. I really wanted to
go to Chanaea with you, but as you know, my family and friends are all here. Since my family chose to
stay here, I couldn''t do anything about it,” Remus went on.
Barneyughed and replied, “It''s okay, Remus. No matter what decision you made, I don''t me you.”
Upon hearing Barney''s words, Remus finally felt relieved and turned to look at Sophie.
“This is...”
He recognized Arius, but he had never seen this gorgeous woman before.
“She''s Sophie Tanner, Arius'' girlfriend.”
Barney didn''t want Remus to know Sophie''s identity. The more people who knew about Sophie, the
more dangerous it would be for her.
Anndurns were known to be ruthless, and Barney didn''t want to take any risks.
“Arius, you''re so lucky. Ms. Tanner is really pretty. I have never seen someone this beautiful,” Remus
stated.
Arius scoffed coldly.
He could care less about being polite with Remus. However, he understood Barney''s intentions.
Sophie also had no objections to it since she knew Barney was trying to protect her.
However, she didn''t eat much the entire meal.
It was difficult eating in thepany of people she didn''t like.
Also, she didn''t talk much. Rather, she listened quietly to the conversation as if she didn''t really
understand what they were talking about.
Remus kept emphasizing how he wished Barney woulde back to the medical association.
He also mentioned the recent happenings in International Medical Association.
However, it was impossible for Barney to return at that point. “Remus, don''t say such things anymore. I
feel at ease with you taking over International Medical Association.”
Since he was all about contributing to the study of medicine, it didn''t matter which organization he was
doing it in.
“Dr. Smith, are you really noting back? With your achievements, you could easily enjoy a
comfortable life in Anndur. It will be tiring to start all over in Chanaea.”
“One will have to pursue something in one''s life to feel fulfilled. I have devoted my life to the study of
medicine. No matter how hard it is, it''s worth it to me. I''m satisfied with that.”
After sending Barney and the others off, Remus returned to the restaurant. His assistant poured him a
ss of wine.
“Mr. ck, I told you you could rx. They will never return to the medical association. Moreover, even
if they wanted to, there will no longer be a ce for them in International Medical Association.” They
were the ones who wanted to leave and take others with them back then. Hence, they wouldn''t be able
to return anymore.
Remus took a sip of wine. He was extremely satisfied with the current situation.
“Sophie doesn''t look that simple, and she doesn''t seem to be Arius'' girlfriend either. Go and investigate
her for me.” Remus suspected Sophie''s background was moreplicated than what Barney was
letting on.
“Okay, I understand. I''ll send someone to investigate.”
Meanwhile, Barney and the others finally returned to the hotel. After being on a long flight and drinking,
Barney was exhausted. He quickly retreated to his room to rest.
Arius went to Sophie''s room and noticed she hadn''t brought much luggage. He shook his head. She''s
really something. We are going to be here for at least three days. How can she not bring anything?
“If you need anything, I can buy it for you now.” Arius had stayed here for many years, so he was quite
familiar with the area.
Sophie shook her head.
“There''s no need for that. Tristan has already sent someone to bring over everything that I need. You
don''t have to worry about me.”
Arius was rendered speechless.
Fine! How could I forget? She has an almighty and capable boyfriend that can settle everything for her.
“By the way, Remus probably won''t believe that you''re my girlfriend.” Arius knew that Remus was
cunning and not easy to fool.
“It doesn''t matter whether he believes it,” Sophie replied. We don''t have to bother with what Remus
thinks.
“He will soon find out your identity.” The International Medical Associationwork was extensive, so it
was impossible to hide most things from the medical association.
