Chapter 740

“Very well. I’ll make the arrangements. It’s getting late, so you should rest soon,” stated Sean.

Whatever Tristan decides to do, the three of us will support him.

“Got it.” Upon hanging up the phone, Tristan turned to Sophie. “I won’t let anyone hurt my family or

you.”

She hugged him. “Don’t worry. No matter what your decision is, I’ll support you.” I also can’t bear letting

other people hurt his family.

Meanwhile, Charles and Sean were conversing.

“What? Nicholas is behind this? Why is this guy everywhere? I can’t believe he still has the gall to do

this after he escaped last time. He’s looking down on us, huh?” Charles gritted his teeth.

“Mr. Tristan’s order is clear. He wants us to take him out permanently,” informed Sean. While they were

good citizens, they couldn’t stay passive any longer after their enemy dared to touch those closest to

them.

“Sounds good to me. That way, he’s guaranteed not to bother us anymore.” I really have no idea what

Nicholas is thinking. Sophie doesn’t like him at all, so why is he doing all these things? It’ll only make

her hate him even more.

“The Sable family is no pushover, so we must take great care when devising our grand plan,” reminded

Sean. This time, we have to take care of him for good. Otherwise, he’ll keep going and forever be a

thorn in our side.

“Sure. It’s getting late, so I’ll head home first. Tomorrow, we’ll meet up and continue this discussion.”

Charles stood.

“All right. Oh yeah, how’s Winter doing lately? You should keep an eye on her and prevent her from

doing anything stupid again. If not, no one will be able to bail her out.”

“Don’t worry, I have people following her, so there shouldn’t be any problems,” Charles assured. I wish I

didn’t need to be worried about her.

After he returned home, he saw Winter and Juan talking about something.

Initially, he had no interest in joining the conversation. However, when he overheard them talking about

Sarah, he paused and approached them. “You visited Sarah? Do you like her, Juan?” I thought he said

he didn’t like Sarah in the past, so what’s going on? Does this mean he no longer likes Yvette?

“Yeah, I visited her,” Juan admitted. We are technically friends, after all. It’s only normal to visit a friend

admitted to the hospital.

“Have you really moved on from Yvette, Juan? You used to like her so much.”

“All right, it’s getting late. Let’s all head to bed now.” Yvette was a topic Juan wasn’t interested in talking

about at that moment. I must have been blind in the past. That’s why I was misled by Yvette. Now, I’ve

truly understood what I want.

“It sounds like you did move on from her, regardless of how much you liked her before. Am I right?”

Winter wondered. If he can do that, this means Tristan can do it, too, right? In that case, I still have a

chance!

Upon hearing that, Charles shook his head. “I know what you’re thinking, Winter. Stop it. Mr. Tristan is

already engaged to Sophie. Although, that’s not important compared to their love for each other.

They’re never going to split up, do you understand?” She should’ve given up on him a long time ago.

Why doesn’t she understand her wish will never come true?

“Juan was engaged with Yvette too, and they broke up in the end! Clearly, nothing in this world is

permanent,” argued Winter. I’m still young. I can still wait. One day, Tristan will acknowledge me. Isn’t

that what’s happening with Juan and Sarah?

Juan frowned. Why did Winter end up like this?

In response, Charles refuted, “That’s different. Juan was never madly in love with Yvette, which was

why they broke up.”

Stubbornly, she spat, “Then how do you know Tristan wholeheartedly loves Sophie? You’re my brother,

so why do you keep taking other people’s side? Why aren’t you supporting me?” I feel so awful. At the

very least, shouldn’t my family be supportive of me?

“Look, I’m willing to support you no matter what you do, except when it comes to this matter. Really, no

one can help you out with this. If you want to keep living in Jipsdale, you better behave yourself and

stop coveting something that doesn’t belong to you.” Charles was truly sick and tired of her antics.

That silenced her. However, she didn’t absorb a single word he said.

Charles then turned to Juan. “You too, Juan. Since you don’t like Sarah, you shouldn’t bother her

anymore. It wasn’t easy for her to give up on you, so you should let her find her own happiness.”

In response, Juan knitted his eyebrows. Her own happiness? But I don’t want to let her find her own

happiness. If she does, what’ll happen to me? What should I do? I feel like Sarah and I are bound

together, whether I want it or not.

Inside a mansion within Jipsdale, Richard provided plenty of delicious food for Nicholas, but Nicholas

didn’t eat any of it.

Upon seeing that, Richard approached him. “You haven’t eaten anything since noon, Boss. You should

really eat something. If you don’t, how will you have enough energy to deal with your enemies?”

Nicholas twirled the glass of red wine in his hand. “Tell me, Richard. Am I wrong to do what I did?”

Sometimes, he would question himself, wondering why he was doing the things he did. No matter how

much I force Sophie, she has never reciprocated my feelings. None of what I did worked. In that case,

what should I do? I feel lost.

“Of course, you have to seize the person you like when you have the resources to, Boss,” replied

Richard.

“You think so, too?” Those words perked Nicholas up. Yeah, he’s right! Why should I let someone else

have the person I’m enamored with? I’m not a noble man. I can’t just sit by and watch another man

take the woman I love.

“That’s why you must tend to yourself first because only then will you have the chance to snatch the

person you like.” She’s just a woman. Boss can have anything he wants!

Thus, Nicholas sat down and started eating. “Why have I never recognized a talented man like you

before, Richard?” If he had been around me to tell me this before, I wouldn’t have felt so conflicted for

this long.

“Don’t worry, Boss. From today onward, I’ll always be by your side to assist you,” assured Richard.

Boss and I are the same type of people. We’ll never let go of the things we like.
