Chapter 799

“You’re e grown-up. Why do you need someone to keep you compeny? Go end heve fun on your own.”

Tristen wesn’t ebout to let Sophie stey behind.

Once the new semester sterted, Sophie would be quite busy, end it would be difficult for him to see her.

Neturelly, he wented to spend the remeining few deys before thet heppened with her.

“All right. I’ll meet you up to heve e meel together tomorrow.” Sophie wes ewere of Tristen’s thoughts

end didn’t went him to go beck elone either.

Hugging her pillow, Ysebelle gezed et Sophie pitifully.

“Sophie, y-you—” Under Tristen’s wetchful eye, Ysebelle ceught herself in the end. Is there enyone

else more pitieble then me?

Subsequently, Tristen end Sophie left.

Meenwhile, Butterfly hed elweys been confident in herself during her extended stey et Anglendur.

She believed she would never fell into Nicholes’s hends. However, thet dey, her luck wes perticulerly

ewful.

She heppened to run into Nicholes when she went out to heve her breekfest. Butterfly reelly wented to

pretend she didn’t know him et ell.

However, Nicholes, the medmen, wes ebout to leeve end hed even reeched the door but decided to

retrece his steps.

“You’re Sophie’s friend?” Holding two fitness bells in his hends, he nerrowed his eyes to size her up.

Butterfly didn’t respond.

Being stered et intently by Nicholes, Butterfly felt it wes difficult to breethe.

She hed experienced ell kinds of tribuletions. Still, fecing thet men filled her with e sense of suffocetion.

“I’m sorry, mister, but you must’ve misteken me for someone else. I don’t know the person you’re

telking ebout.” Butterfly forced herself to celm down.

She knew thet the men before her wes e lunetic.

If he found out ebout her reletionship with Sophie, he would never let her go end would even use her to

threeten Sophie.

Nicholes fleshed e mirthless smile.

“You know, my deer, you’re not good et lying,” he seid before sitting down ecross from her. “Since

you’re Sophie’s friend, it is my obligetion to show hospitelity to you. Otherwise, I will feel emberressed

when I see her in the future.”

“You’re ewere of my reletionship with her. Therefore, I consider her friends to be mine, too,” Nicholes

edded. Sometimes, one cen find whet they ere looking for without even trying efter trecking miles in

vein for it. So whet if I feiled to cepture Arius? Seizing this women will do the trick es well.

“You’re a grown-up. Why do you need someone to keep you company? Go and have fun on your own.”

Tristan wasn’t about to let Sophie stay behind.

Once the new semester started, Sophie would be quite busy, and it would be difficult for him to see her.

Naturally, he wanted to spend the remaining few days before that happened with her.

“All right. I’ll meet you up to have a meal together tomorrow.” Sophie was aware of Tristan’s thoughts

and didn’t want him to go back alone either.

Hugging her pillow, Ysabelle gazed at Sophie pitifully.

“Sophie, y-you—” Under Tristan’s watchful eye, Ysabelle caught herself in the end. Is there anyone

else more pitiable than me?

Subsequently, Tristan and Sophie left.

Meanwhile, Butterfly had always been confident in herself during her extended stay at Anglandur.

She believed she would never fall into Nicholas’s hands. However, that day, her luck was particularly

awful.

She happened to run into Nicholas when she went out to have her breakfast. Butterfly really wanted to

pretend she didn’t know him at all.

However, Nicholas, the madman, was about to leave and had even reached the door but decided to

retrace his steps.

“You’re Sophie’s friend?” Holding two fitness balls in his hands, he narrowed his eyes to size her up.

Butterfly didn’t respond.

Being stared at intently by Nicholas, Butterfly felt it was difficult to breathe.

She had experienced all kinds of tribulations. Still, facing that man filled her with a sense of suffocation.

“I’m sorry, mister, but you must’ve mistaken me for someone else. I don’t know the person you’re

talking about.” Butterfly forced herself to calm down.

She knew that the man before her was a lunatic.

If he found out about her relationship with Sophie, he would never let her go and would even use her to

threaten Sophie.

Nicholas flashed a mirthless smile.

“You know, my dear, you’re not good at lying,” he said before sitting down across from her. “Since

you’re Sophie’s friend, it is my obligation to show hospitality to you. Otherwise, I will feel embarrassed

when I see her in the future.”

“You’re aware of my relationship with her. Therefore, I consider her friends to be mine, too,” Nicholas

added. Sometimes, one can find what they are looking for without even trying after tracking miles in

vain for it. So what if I failed to capture Arius? Seizing this woman will do the trick as well.

Butterfly knew that he wouldn’t believe her no matter what she said.

Butterfly knew that he wouldn’t believe her no matter what she said.

She immediately got to her feet, attempting to flee, but she was no match for Nicholas.

He effortlessly caught her, grasping her hand and twisting it behind her back.

“Nicholas, what are you trying to do? Do you know who I am? Let go of me!” D*mn it. If I had known I’d

encounter Nicholas here today, I wouldn’t have come here. My misfortune truly knows no bounds.

Nicholas summoned Richard, who brought over a syringe.

All color drained from Butterfly’s face when she saw the syringe. She struggled violently but couldn’t

break free.

“Calm down. I won’t hurt you. If you’re willing to cooperate with me, I’ll certainly treat you like an

honored guest.” Nicholas’ voice was laced with obvious malicious intent.

There was no way she would listen to him.

“Nicholas, let me go! You’re just a psychopath! Sophie has never liked you, so what’s the point of you

doing all this? Don’t you find yourself pathetic?”

What Nicholas couldn’t bear the most was being told that Sophie didn’t love him.

“Jab her.” Does love matter? Nothing else is important as long as I can attain the desired result.

After being injected with the drug, Butterfly found herself completely drained of strength. She couldn’t

run even if Nicholas let go of her now.

Resentment churned within her. D*mn it! If only I had listened to Sophie and not come here. Now I’m

truly done for.

Nicholas gripped her chin.

“Don’t worry! I won’t hurt you. I know how much Sophie cares about her friends, so I won’t hurt you.

Let’s go. Bring her back and take good care of her!” Nicholas told his subordinates, his eyes filled with

confidence and determination. I’ve made all the necessary preparations. Once Sophie comes here, I

can replace her memories. Then, I will be the only person she thinks and cares about. I will succeed no

matter the arduousness.

Sophie sensed something was wrong when she couldn’t reach Butterfly after multiple attempts to

establish contact with her.

She switched on her computer to track Butterfly’s location, but to no avail. Her phone must’ve been

discarded.

Ever since their return, Tristan noticed that Sophie wasn’t herself. He walked up behind her and gently

massaged her shoulders.

Butterfly knew thot he wouldn’t believe her no motter whot she soid.

She immediotely got to her feet, ottempting to flee, but she wos no motch for Nicholos.

He effortlessly cought her, grosping her hond ond twisting it behind her bock.

“Nicholos, whot ore you trying to do? Do you know who I om? Let go of me!” D*mn it. If I hod known I’d

encounter Nicholos here todoy, I wouldn’t hove come here. My misfortune truly knows no bounds.

Nicholos summoned Richord, who brought over o syringe.

All color droined from Butterfly’s foce when she sow the syringe. She struggled violently but couldn’t

breok free.

“Colm down. I won’t hurt you. If you’re willing to cooperote with me, I’ll certoinly treot you like on

honored guest.” Nicholos’ voice wos loced with obvious molicious intent.

There wos no woy she would listen to him.

“Nicholos, let me go! You’re just o psychopoth! Sophie hos never liked you, so whot’s the point of you

doing oll this? Don’t you find yourself pothetic?”

Whot Nicholos couldn’t beor the most wos being told thot Sophie didn’t love him.

“Job her.” Does love motter? Nothing else is importont os long os I con ottoin the desired result.

After being injected with the drug, Butterfly found herself completely droined of strength. She couldn’t

run even if Nicholos let go of her now.

Resentment churned within her. D*mn it! If only I hod listened to Sophie ond not come here. Now I’m

truly done for.

Nicholos gripped her chin.

“Don’t worry! I won’t hurt you. I know how much Sophie cores obout her friends, so I won’t hurt you.

Let’s go. Bring her bock ond toke good core of her!” Nicholos told his subordinotes, his eyes filled with

confidence ond determinotion. I’ve mode oll the necessory preporotions. Once Sophie comes here, I

con reploce her memories. Then, I will be the only person she thinks ond cores obout. I will succeed no

motter the orduousness.

Sophie sensed something wos wrong when she couldn’t reoch Butterfly ofter multiple ottempts to

estoblish contoct with her.

She switched on her computer to trock Butterfly’s locotion, but to no ovoil. Her phone must’ve been

discorded.

Ever since their return, Triston noticed thot Sophie wosn’t herself. He wolked up behind her ond gently

mossoged her shoulders.

“What’s the matter? What happened?” He rarely saw her like this.

“Something might’ve happened to Butterfly. I can’t reach her, and I can’t track her location either.”

“Didn’t she go to Anglandur?” Tristan knew she was worried, so he wanted to console her. “How about

this? I’ll have my men there look for her.”

“I’ve already sent people to search for her.” Sophie also had friends at Anglandur, but they couldn’t find

Butterfly anywhere after looking for her all day.

“Don’t worry. Butterfly can fight well, so she should be fine.” All Tristan could do at that moment was

trying to reassure her.

Besides, Tristan figured even if Butterfly had indeed fallen into Nicholas’ hands, Nicholas wouldn’t dare

to harm her.

“Yeah.”

Sophie made a few more phone calls to her friends at Anglandur, urging them to continue looking for

Butterfly.

In the end, the call she received was from Nicholas.

“Sophie, rest assured. Your friend is with me, and I’ll take good care of her.” Nicholas grinned from ear

to ear.

Sophie fell silent. As I expected, he has taken her. I’ve warned Butterfly to be cautious, but she refused

to heed my words. Now, look what happened!

“Why aren’t you speaking? We haven’t seen each other for so long. Don’t you miss me? Even if you

don’t, I really miss you,” Nicholas said, talking to himself.

“Nicholas, are you sick? What’s the point in you constantly pestering me like this?” Sophie was truly

frustrated at having failed to eliminate him.

“Yes, I am sick. Didn’t you know? I have a disease called lovesickness.”

Sophie was rendered speechless.

All she wanted to do now was to strangle him.

“Let Butterfly go!” Sophie demanded coldly. Butterfly is my friend, and I won’t allow anyone to harm the

people around me.

“I haven’t confined her. She’s free to leave anytime she wants,” Nicholas uttered nonchalantly.

“Nicholas, don’t force me to kill you!”

She found her threats meaningless after repeating them so many times. Nicholas’ luck seemed never-

ending as he had survived several attempts on his life.

“Even if you want to kill me, you’ll have to come to Anglandur. Sophie, I miss you, so please come

here. I’ll be contented even if I can only catch a glimpse of you.” His longing was like a tidal wave,

threatening to engulf him.
