Pursuing Her Chapter 253

Chapter 253 Stunning “Mr. Tristan, you're simply replying to a WhatsApp message. Do you really

need to hide from us?” Felix teased. Tristan ignored him and simply left the conference room. Felix

couldn't resist commenting, “I would never have imagined that this is how the great Mr. Tristan will

be when he’s in love.” Charles said, “All right, stop messing with him. You're only asking for a

beating. It's only natural that he cares about an incredible woman like Sophie.” Sean continued

working. He had nothing to add to that conversation. Tristan made his way to the floor-to-ceiling

window and fished his phone out of his pocket.

He stared at the photo for a while before giving Sophie a video call. He had always known that

Sophie was especially stunning, but he didn't expect her to be that attractive in a gown. Sophie was

about to eat when she received Tristan’s call. She glared at Muriel, who didn’t even know what was

going on. “What's up with you, Sophie? You finally came back, and you're already glaring at me. Did

I do something wrong?” I've been working my butt off for you, so can you stop being so mean?

Sophie simply couldn't be nice when she thought about what Muriel had done. This is all her fault,

and I can't believe she doesn't even know her mistakes. “I have to use the restroom,” Sophie said,

then got up and left. Muriel left her fork in her mouth. Her eyes shone with sadness as she watched

Sophie leave. Did I really do something unforgivable? Is it really that bad? Sophie walked out before

she picked up Tristan’s call. Indeed, she could be seen in a stunning gown.

"Sophie, do you realize you are tempting people to commit crimes?” Sophie was speechless. What

kind of logic is that? “But you look great in that gown,” complimented Tristan. My Sophie is

stunning no matter what she wears. “Uh, I accidentally sent you that photo, Mr. Tristan. Just ignore it

and pretend you saw nothing.” Something was about to take place in the restaurant, and she

couldn't leave Muriel alone to deal with it. “Okay, but you must wear that gown for me when you're

back.” Tristan wanted to see her looking that stunning in person. Sophie was at a loss for words. I

didn't put this gown on out of my own free will, you know? Despite those thoughts, Sophie couldn't

bring herself to turn him down when she saw the expectant look in his eyes. “All right. I have to go

now, so I'm hanging up.” “Be careful out there, okay?” “I will.” Sophie understood that Tristan was

worried about her, so she nodded obediently to put his mind at ease. After hanging up, she calmly

made her way back. Muriel breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her return. “It's just a photo.

Do you really have to be that mad?” Muriel felt aggrieved. She honestly didn't know what was so

infuriating about that. “Let's just eat.” Oh, forget it. It's not a big deal. There's no need to stay mad

at her. As expected, a man showed up with a briefcase while they were eating. Muriel switched on

her phone and showed Sophie the photo of the man. “See that? This is the drug lord who is wanted

globally. He doesn't look like a criminal, right?” The drug lord in question was so good that even the

SWAT team failed to capture him. The authorities in Anglandur couldn't apprehend him either.

Sophie frowned. I knew this was not a simple matter. I bet Eustace and the others are actually here

to capture this drug lord. Now that they're here, should Nalliance fall back? “Get this, Sophie. The

reward for apprehending this man is one hundred million. Words have been released internationally

that whoever catches this man will be rewarded with one hundred million!” “So?” Sophie didn't

understand her point of saying all that. “Well, I'm quite short of money. How about we go get him

together? That way, we can split the hundred million between us.” The mere thought of having all

that money to spend made Muriel feel excited. She had her eyes on so many gowns, and she was

determined to bring all of them home with her. Realization dawned on Sophie when she saw the

smile on Muriel's face. “There I was wondering why you've been asking me to come back.

Turns out it's all for that money.” That international criminal is someone even Eustace has a problem

dealing with. Does she really think the two of us can accomplish what Eustace and his team

couldn't? Muriel reached out and held Sophie's hand. “Sophie, this guy is an international sensation.

If you can catch him, your reputation will soar to greater heights. By then, many people will come

and butter us up. Man, I can already imagine how amazing that feeling would be.” “Sorry, but I am

not interested,” replied Sophie. I have no use for a great reputation, anyway. “Don’t you want to be

like Phantom and have everyone worship you?” “Not at all.” Fame was a lifetime burden for many,

and Sophie didn't want to be one of them. The drug lord left the restaurant after having his meal.

As he walked out the entrance, Sophie shot a look at him. To be honest, he doesnt look like a drug

lord at all. Muriel wasn't worried. She had spent the last few days spying on that drug lord and

learning his routines. “Seriously, Sophie, how are you uninterested in everything? I mean, is there

anything out there that can get your heart pumping with excitement?” As far as Muriel was

concerned, Sophie was a mystery. Right then, Eustace and his team showed up. Sophie did not

expect to run into them here. I guess they're only here to catch that drug lord. When Eustace

entered the restaurant and saw Sophie, his eyes widened in surprise. He couldn't believe what he

was seeing. Upon taking a closer look, he confirmed it was the cool young woman. However, the

young woman who was always in a hoodie or T-shirt was wearing a gown that day, and he didn’t

expect her to look that stunning in it.

Danny was dumbfounded as well. “D*mn! Captain Sheppard, are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is

that really Sophie Tanner?” Danny had read countless poems describing incredibly beautiful women.

One of them even claimed that time stopped when a gorgeous woman entered the room. Danny

had always thought that the poem was corny and exaggerated because there was no way a woman

that beautiful even existed. Until that day, he finally understood what the poet meant. “Yeah, that's

her,” replied Eustace. He was certain of it because Sophie was the kind of woman who left a lasting

impression on others’ minds. The aura she exuded was simply too unique.

That was why she was always the center of attention no matter where she went. “Captain Sheppard,

how can a woman be that attractive? I bet there are countless men out there courting her. Looks

like you have your work cut out for you,” Danny said. If Captain Sheppard gets together with Sophie,

then there's a chance she will join our team. With Captain Sheppard and Sophie on our side, the

team's future will be ever so bright. “Okay, that's enough. You guys head over there. Be careful not

to expose yourselves. I'll go over and take a look.” Sophie knew them. Since they were there on a

mission, they couldn't risk exposing themselves.
