Chapter 903 Peril

On the other side, Nicholas was sipping red wine in front of a floor-to-ceiling window while Richard

stood behind him.

“Boss, Padma is on their way.”

“Good. I hope everything goes well. Do you think Sophie knows about this? Nothing goes under her

nose unnoticed.”

“I’m not sure, I have a bad feeling about this, actually. We should get someone to impersonate Padma

to get away from Sophie.” Given Sophie’s wit and hacking ability, the assistant believed she would not

just sit idly by if she found out about their plot.

She must have cooked up a counteractive plan.

“You’re right,” Nicholas agreed.

Although this was a feud between Sophie and him, the former had Tristan on her side, which

decreased Nicholas’ chances of winning.

Yet, Nicholas thought he should at least give it a shot since Padma was his only solution to the

situation.

Despite the clandestine nature of his plan, Sophie might well have figured out what he was up to, but

luckily, no one had seen Padma before, so there was no guarantee as to whether Sophie and her

friends would get the right person.

In the meantime, Felix and Sean flew to Frosa after Sophie informed them about Padma’s flight and

bought them tickets for the same plane,

Once boarded, Sean began observing all the passengers, only to find more than ten bodyguards he

suspected to be in Padma’s service.

However, because the bodyguards were dispersed across the plane and did not seem to pay particular

attention to anyone, Sean and Felix could not deduce from their actions who Padma was.

“This is going to be a tough one. We don’t even have a photo of this Padma.” Sean remarked, feeling

like he had hit a dead end.

Likewise, Felix was also keeping a close eye on everyone. Most of the passengers were people from

Frosa and were of similar age.

“You’re right. This is far from easy, but we must find this person. Mr. Tristan and Sophie are at risk

here.”

The last thing Felix wanted to see was Sophie being brainwashed into believing that Nicholas was the

person she loved. This would utterly break Tristan’s heart.

The flight from Frosa to Jipsdale took more than ten hours, but even then, Sean and Felix could not

make out who Padma was.

Soon, the plane landed at the airport in Jipsdale, and everyone was getting ready to disembark.

Left with no other recourse, Felix and Sean split up when they saw the guards walk away in different

directions.

Sean and Felix thought their mission might fail when the guards’ actions did not give away Padma’s

identity.

Indeed, up to the point when they left the plane, they still had not figured out who Padma was, so Sean.

immediately called Tristan.

“We didn’t find Padma. I bet they know we’re looking for them. We’re up against some powerful

people.”

“Noted. My men will be getting you guys,” Tristan replied.

Earlier, he had dispatched ten guards to aid Sean and Felix, but with the two stuck in limbo, it seemed

like this extra help would be useless,

“Hey. Look at that person!” Sean suddenly whispered when he caught a suspicious person walking into

the

restroom.

“Let’s go,” Felix ordered as he followed the person, feeling the man was also behaving unusually.

Once they entered, they grabbed the dubious man, who barked, “What are you all doing? Get your

hands off, or I’ll kill you two!”

Sean and Felix exchanged glances at the threat. They dragged him away without hesitation when they

saw the tattoo on the man’s arm.

“What is going on… Who… do you think you are?” the man stuttered in broken Chanaean.

“We’re sorry, Mr. Ferdaron. You’re coming with us. Don’t worry. You’ll be safe in our hands.”

“Mr. Ferdaron? I’m no Mr. Ferdaron! Let me go! You guys got the wrong person! I’m suing you all!”

“Sorry to say, but he’s the best lawyer in Jipsdale, so go ahead if you want to sue us!” Felix shouted as

he tugged the man away.

As for Sean, he did not leave right away, for he had an unfinished task. There were more than a

hundred people on the flight whom he had taken pictures of on the sly back in the plane.

Since Sean could not even tell if the person Felix took was Padma, the only way forward was to have

all those people tailed.

After some time, Sean went to meet Tristan and the rest.

“Honestly speaking. I don’t even know if that man is Padma. No one has seen this person before!”

Sean spelled his confusion.

“Exactly. Are your men keeping tabs on the other passengers?” Tristan asked.

“They are, but we don’t know when Nicholas will make a move. It’s not like we can keep an eye on all

those people forever.”

At this point, Charles weighed in with his two cents, “Well, I think we should just lock Nicholas up.

That’s the best way to save us all the trouble.”

He believed that what Tristan and the others were doing was but a waste of time.

“That’s our last resort. If there’s really nothing we can do, I guess we will have to catch Nicholas.”

Sometimes, one could not help but think Nicholas had luck on his side, for it took just a person like him

to cause so much trouble for everyone.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Tristan. We will do our very best. Everything will be fine.”

“Thank you for all the hard work. Anyway, I’d better get going. I need to pick Sophie up. I won’t be

staying for dinner, then.” Tristan said.

“Okay,” the three men answered when they saw how worried Tristan looked.

They understood how he felt, so they did not insist on him staying for dinner.

When Tristan arrived at the medical association and did not see Sophie outside, he went in to look for

her.

“We are not sure if the person we got is Padma,” he informed the moment he saw her.

“I see. Don’t worry about it.”

Frustrated, Tristan pulled her into his arms, saying, “Why don’t we just catch Nicholas? I can’t bear the

thought of losing you! Trust me. This is the best solution to our problem. I promise you we will stay

together, get married, and even have our own children. I don’t want the Sable family to come after us

for the rest of our lives. We have nothing to lose, but I don’t want our children to face this with us.”

Holding Sophie gently, Tristan added, “I can protect you and our children. The Sable family can’t do

anything to us.”

-Nicholas is Old Mr. Sable’s only son. We will be incurring the family’s wrath if we kill him. Besides, you

need to think of your family too.”

Tristan felt the situation was driving him to his wit’s end.

“I can erase Nicholas’ memory as long as Padma doesn’t intercept.”

For the past few days, Sophie had been doing extensive research on hypnosis and had tried it out on

victims who wished to get rid of painful memories, and the result was promising.

-Sophie, if your plan doesn’t work out, we will have to go with my plan,” Tristan suggested. He

understood that different people had distinct ways of approaching a matter, but for him, his solution was

to put an end to Nicholas

“All right. We will get rid of him together if my plan fails.” Sophie agreed. She would do anything to stay

with Tristan, even if it meant soiling her hands with blood.

“Leave that to me. I don’t want anything to weigh on your conscience.”
