âShe might feel shy to tell you since she's a girl. Who knows? Maybe she also wants you!â
âThat's enough. You can shut up now!â Tristan snapped. I shouldn't have expected anything good to
come out of Charlesâ mouth.
âMr. Tristan, ignore him. Why don't you tell me your concern? I'm also experienced in love now.
Maybe I can help you analyze the situation,â Felix said proudly.
He had waited for over ten years until Ysabelle finally opened her heart to him, so he was on cloud
nine every single day.
Tristan cast him a glance.
Felix? What can he possibly analyze? He's a big mess himself!
âJust mind your own business. You've finally become her boyfriend. Don't end up getting dumped.â
That was something likely to happen, considering Ysabelle's temper.
âThat's impossible! Our relationship is very stable right now. There's no way we will ever break up.â
It would be another story if Ysabelle didn't like him.
However, now that he knew about her feelings for him, he would never break up with her.
âMr. Tristan, what exactly are you unhappy about?â Sean piped up.
"I feel like sheâs hiding something from me! As her boyfriend, I don't want her to keep anything
from me.â
âI see. What is she hiding from you?" asked Sean as he wondered what important matter it could be.
Tristan shook his head.
âI wouldn't be so troubled if I knew. Do you guys think it's because she doesn't trust me?â Tristan
was usually a decisive and strong-minded man, but he had his insecurities when it came to Sophie.
âI don't think this has anything to do with trust. You know Sophie well. She doesn't like depending
on others. Even if there's something wrong, she will handle it herself as long as it's within her power.
So if you keep dwelling on this matter, you will be the only one unhappy.â
Sean hit the nail on the head again. After all, this had something to do with oneâs personality.
âI think Sean's words are on point. Sophie is very capable, so she can handle most things herself.
She's an independent person, and I don't believe that being in a relationship will change her
personality. It's impossible for her to turn to you for every single matter she encounters.â
Since that will never happen, Tristan might as well stop troubling himself.
âMr. Tristan, I don't get why you're like this. Isn't it great that she can solve her problems on her
own? Even though you're dating, you have to give each other some space.â Charles finally provided
some useful advice.
Having little experience with romance, Tristan asked, âSo you mean this is my problem?â
Sean stated, âYes. Give each other space. She will tell you when she feels like it.â
Meanwhile, Nicholas threw a fit upon arriving home.
Whenever he thought of Sophie being with Tristan, he just couldn't hold himself back.
His manic episodes were becoming increasingly severe. As the housekeepers watched him, none of
them dared to make a sound.
Even Javier, who was inside the room on the second floor, could hear things being shattered.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything as he was confined in the room.
âWhat's wrong with him again? Did he get triggered by something?â I've worked so hard to get the
Sable family to where it is today, yet everything may be destroyed in Nicholasâ hands!
"We don't know,â his subordinate answered. Nicholas was getting more and more aggressive, and
most of the time, he could not control his emotions.
"Get the psychiatrist to come. If this goes on, he will ruin the Sable family!â
The Sable family was what Javier cared about the most in his life.
He would never allow Nicholas to bring the Sable family down.
âOld Mr. Sable, you know how Mr. Nicholas is. He listens to no one at the moment. There's no way
he'll see a psychiatrist.â It was common for people who were mentally ill to refuse to admit that they
were sick.
âIf he's sick, he needs to get checked.â Javier had been in denial of this truth before, but now he
could no longer sit back and watch.
Otherwise, the Sable family would surely meet its end.
"Send someone to find Sophie. Find a way to bring her to me.â Now that things had come to this
point, Javier had to admit that Sophie might be the only one who could solve this problem.
She was the only one Nicholas would listen to.
"Old Mr. Sable, you know what kind of person Sophie is. It's impossible to control her.â They had
tried to take her life many times, so it was natural that she would not help them.
âThat's why I told you to find a way! Do you think everything in this world is easy? How will you gain
anything without even making an effort?â Javier scolded.
His subordinate did not dare to talk back to him.
"Old Mr. Sable, Mr. Nicholas won't even let us leave the house now. So...â
The other people were now under Nicholasâ control. He was the only one left by Javier's side.
Hearing that, Javier fell into deep thought.
What should I do to solve this predicament? The key to this matter is Sophie. Maybe everything will
end only when she dies
The living room was in shambles as Nicholas smashed everything that came into sight. It was only
after a long time that he finally calmed down.
He took out his phone and tried to call Sophie, only to find out that she had blocked him.
In his fury, he killed a housekeeper on the spot.
Upon smelling blood in the air, Javier closed his eyes in despair.
His mania is so severe to the point that he's killing his own people!
Downstairs, Nicholas ordered, âListen carefully. I want you to capture Arius by all means. He's just a
doctor. If you can't even catch him, then you don't deserve to be alive.â Capturing Arius was his only
way to get a chance to talk to Sophie.
His subordinates did not raise any objections.
Under such circumstances, staying silent was the best thing to do.
That was because whatever they said would be deemed wrong.
In fact, they were also afraid of death.
Arius knew that Nicholasâ people had been tailing him recently, and the situation was giving him
quite a headache.
Nicholas is way too obsessive. It's not like he will gain anything good out of this. So what if he
captures me? Sophie will never like him back. Why does he have to make himself so pathetic?
When Arius detected the men behind him and their intention to abduct him, he chuckled bitterly.
Sophie, you vixen! Why do you have to be so charming?
Upon noticing his plan to escape, the men gave him no chance to do so and fired at him.
If it weren't for Ariusâ agility, he would have been injured.
âF*ck! Damn you, Nicholas. You better stay out of my sight. If I catch you, I'm going to torture you to
death!â
Unfortunately, the men seemed determined to catch him this time.
Just when Arius thought he was doomed, a car came to a stop beside him. He raised his head and
saw Sophie, the cause of his suffering.
âF*ck, you're finally here! If you came any later, I wouldn't be able to live to see tomorrow!â
