CHAPTER 844 MANIPULATION
"Why do you think the president of Jetroina sent Joe to capture me?â Sophie was genuinely puzzled
as she could not think of any reason for the president to go to such lengths to capture her,
especially since there were no grudges between them.
Besides, Tristan had numerous collaborations with Jetroina, so Sophie assumed that the president
would be careful not to endanger the relationship.
âI'll go to Jetroina myself after everything is settled. Then, we'll know the truth.â Tristan did not give
an immediate answer. He decided to visit Jetroina to clarify the situation.
"Okay."
âDon't worry too much. Rest for a while. We have a long flight ahead of us,â Tristan said.
âYou should get some rest too,â Sophie replied.
During this period, he had been flying with her all over the place, and he had to be tired too.
âAll right.â
After more than ten hours, the plane landed at Anglandur's international airport. As they
disembarked, Sophie sensed that something was amiss.
There was a large group of people waiting for them, including the president.
âMs. Tanner, you're finally back. We've been waiting for you here!â Marcus greeted her.
Sophie was confused about the president's strange behavior.
Anglandur is in chaos right now, yet he's waiting here instead of handling the crisis. There are even
journalists present.
âMs. Tanner, I know you made a great contribution to the virus incident, so I came here personally
to welcome you,â Marcus explained.
The Anglandurans standing nearby also welcomed Sophie warmly.
She couldn't understand what the president was trying to accomplish. As expected, the minds of
people in politics were not easy for ordinary people to comprehend.
âMr. President, I need to go find my mentor now, so I shall take my leave,â Sophie said with a
solemn expression.
I'm sure he wants to make use of me to salvage his dire situation.
Alas, Sophie was not someone who could be so easily manipulated.
Before Marcus could speak, Tristan interrupted, âMr. President, if you don't want to embarrass
yourself in front of the people here, you should stop now.â It did not take a fool to tell that Sophie
had worked hard to help them solve the virus issue, and now he wanted to make use of her. Such a
man was truly despicable.
After speaking, Tristan escorted Sophie to the car that was waiting outside.
The president had no choice but to do what he did. In Anglandur, the tenure for president was not
indefinite, and since so many things had happened during his term, he naturally wanted to salvage
the situation as best he could.
Unfortunately, Sophie was not willing to cooperate.
âWhat should we do now, Mr. President?â Jamie asked.
Frustrated, Marcus replied, âWhat else can we do? Let's go back first.â He had not expected Sophie
and Tristan to so blatantly disrespect him.
However, there were no other options.
He still needed their help to solve the virus problem.
âMr. President, I think Dr. Smith and the rest are talented. We shouldn't let them go,â Jamie opined.
In this large-scale crisis, only Barney had the skills to resolve the issue.
The other members of the International Medical Association had subpar skills and were not
qualified to replace him.
Jamie advised, âNow everyone knows that Dr. Smith wants to leave. If you can keep him here, I think
it will change everyone's opinion of you.â As the President's secretary, he naturally considered how
best to support Marcus.
âI'm aware of that, which is why I came personally to pick up Sophie. Haven't you noticed? Among
these three people, Sophie is the one making most of the decisions. If she agrees to stay, the other
two will definitely stay too,â Marcus explained
Being able to become the President of Anglandur, his observational skills were naturally very sharp.
"Hmm, it seems to be true. So let's focus all our attention on Sophie.â
They were sure that no one would turn down Anglandur as long as they offered better conditions.
After all, many people had been trying so hard to be part of the country. The trio had been
presented with the chance, and if their loved ones wanted to join them, arrangements could be
made.
Once they got in the car, Sophie remained silent. Tristan knew she was angry, so he let her lean on
his shoulder.
âThat's how politicians are. They always only consider themselves. You don't need to take it to
heart.â
No one could force Sophie to do anything she disliked, not even the president of Anglandur.
Hence, she could do whatever she wanted without worrying about other people's feelings.
âI know. I'm not angry.â
Instead of going to the hotel, Sophie and the rest went directly to Barney and his team
Barney breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sophie.
"Some patients have shown signs of rejecting the drug. Our top priority now is to solve this
problem,â he reported.
âDr. Smith and I thought of several methods, but none of them have worked.â Arius also felt
perplexed by the situation.
"Okay, let me take a look.â Sophie came back specifically to solve this problem, so naturally, she
started working right away.
Meanwhile, Tristan remained outside, feeling worried about Sophie. She had refused to let him in as
all the patients were infected with the virus.
Just then, his phone rang.
Tristan answered the call when he saw it was Charles.
"What is it? I told you there is no negotiating on this matter. You must stay there.â
If he dared to do such a thing, he must be mentally prepared to take responsibility.
âMr. Tristan, I didn't call today about that matter. I just received a call from home. It seems that
Winter has gone to Anglandur,â Charles explained.
When Tristan remained silent, he added, âMr. Tristan, I know you have a lot going on in Anglandur,
but it's a mess there now. You know that Winter isn't very capable, so I hope you can help her for
my sake.â
Charles could not think of any other solutions; he was truly helpless when it came to his sister.
âCharles, you are aware of the danger involved in Sophie's work here. How can I possibly spare time
to attend to others in such a critical situation?â More importantly, Tristan didn't want to take care of
anyone else.
âMr. Tristan, I..."
Before Charles could continue, Tristan interrupted, âAll right, since you've spoken up, I'll have
someone look into it. But I can't guarantee that we'll find her.â
It is time for Winter to suffer a little.
"Okay, thank you.â Charles was really speechless. If not for him not yet resolving the problems in
Fandar, he would have flown to Anglandur to teach his little sister a good lesson.
