Chapter 259
Changing Only For Her
Chapter 259 Good Morning Muriel leaned toward Sophieâs ear and asked, âWhat do we do? Can you beat him?â She had wanted to help, but she quickly realized she couldnât beat either of them and was just dead weight. âNope!â After exchanging only a few moves with Tristan, Sophie knew she wasnât going to beat him. Heâs been keeping his talents a secret, huh? I didnât know he could fight this well before. âVery well! Youâll transfer one hundred million into Nallianceâs account directly when the time comes! Donât play tricks with me or youâll find yourself an enemy of Nalliance.â Sophie knew how to adapt to the situation. Besides, with one hundred million on the table, she wouldnât be losing much.
With that, Sophie left with Muriel. Tristanâs eyes remained fixed on them as they left. Seeing that he was staring at the two women, Felix nudged Tristan with his elbow. âWhy are you staring at them like that, Mr. Tristan? Did you fall for one of them? Even though theyâre wearing masks?
Sure, their figures are sexy, but itâs pointless if they look ugly! Besides, you already have Sophie. Have you fallen in love with someone else already? You know Ysabelleâs not going to forgive you that easily if you have, right?â âWhat are you thinking?â Tristan handed S over to Felix. âIn any case, bring him back first and interrogate him for information we want to know. Then hand him over to Eustace!â The reason he wanted to hand that person over to Eustace was that he disliked handling matters like that.
âOkay! How about you? Are you going to look for Sophie now? Itâs getting pretty late. Do you know where she is?â Felix asked. Horingtonâs pretty big! Itâll take time to locate someone in the city. âWhy are you talking so much nonsense?â Tristan spat. Itâs pretty late already. Why would I disturb her? As much as I miss her, I should at least wait until tomorrow to meet her! Meanwhile, Sophie and Muriel had gone into the car. This time, it was Muriel who drove. She intentionally avoided Eustace and the others by taking a detour before returning to the main road and driving back home. When they returned, Sophie began packing her things. That confounded Muriel.
âWhat are you doing? All right, I know what I did wrong. I wonât do it again!â She didnât understand why Sophie was doing all that instead of taking a bath and going to sleep. âIâm glad you know that! Donât stir things up like that again in the future! I still have things to take care of, so Iâm not going to stay here any longer!â Sophie informed. Since Tristanâs here in Horington, Iâve no doubt heâll come and find me! Itâll be difficult to explain myself if he learns that Iâve been staying with Muriel. Grabbing her hand, Muriel asked, âSo youâre not angry with me, right?â The answer to that question was important to her because even though she had gone off on her own, Nalliance really wanted to capture S. âIâm not angry. Donât you know what kind of person I am? Do I look like Iâm that petty? Just be more careful when Iâm not around. Donât piss off people you canât afford to, okay?â
Sophie said. Christmas is right around the corner. If I donât go back soon, Grandpaâs going to overthink things. I still need to be considerate of his emotions! âSo youâre going back? Itâs only been a few days!â
It saddened Muriel to learn that Sophie was about to leave. âI want to go with you!â Sadly, Nalliance needed her help, so she couldnât leave even if she wanted to. Sophie patted her pretty face. âBe good, okay? If you come across a problem you donât know how to take care of, just go and find our mentor!
He formed Nalliance, so he should take responsibility.â âOkay!â After telling her a few more things about Nalliance, Sophie left Murielâs condominium and went straight to Horington Hotel. Upon checking in and going into her room, she, worried about her location being exposed, hacked into the hotel system and changed her check-in information. Only then did she go and take a bath in peace. At the same time, Tristan had also arrived at Horington Hotel. I need to take a bath and change into a new set of clothing before I meet with Sophie. Felix had already handed S to their people in Horington before personally interrogating the latter.
By the time Tristan was out of the bathroom, Felix had already returned. Felix handed the confidential information he personally extracted from S to Tristan. âThis is everything I got from S!â After flipping through a few pages of the report, Tristan furrowed his brows even more tightly. This d*mn S! âShould we hand him over to Eustace and the others now?âFelix asked. Even though we caught S, weâre about to hand him over to Eustace now. Eustaceâs a lucky man. âGive him to Eustace!â Tristan ordered.
Eustace doesnât belong to that system. He always does things by the book! âAre you trying to gain Eustaceâs favor, Mr. Tristan?â Felix asked. Eustace is quite influential in Jipsdale. âNo. I just think he can be useful.â When it came to people, Tristan had a good eye for them. âOkay! Iâll ask people to deliver this big gift to Eustace. Hopefully, he wonât disappoint us!â There were plenty of legends about Eustace that Felix had heard of before. However, no matter what, it wouldnât be easy to pull Eustace to their side. After cleaning up the mess, Eustace and his team were demoralized because they failed to capture S. Besides, one of them had been badly injured and was staying in the hospital. It infuriated them that they had missed their prime opportunity to capture the person they had been looking for. Just as everyone was getting pretty dejected, a member of Horington SWAT team saw an unlicensed black car throw a bag down at the entrance of the SWAT team building. Then the car left. One of the team members approached the bag and carefully opened it. When he saw the person inside, he promptly asked someone to report it. When Eustace and the others came out, they saw S, who was all tied up.
Danny rubbed his eyes. They had all seen Sâ photo before they went on the mission. Therefore, even though Sâ face had become so swollen, they still recognized him. âCaptain Sheppard? Can we say that we got lucky or not?â Danny scratched the back of his head. What the hellâs going on?
âAll right, stop talking. Bring him in first!â While Eustace had no idea who captured Sâsince S was a pretty extraordinary personâhe decided to leave the mystery of Sâ captors for another day. What was more important to him at that moment was solving the cases that were tied directly to S. After she took a bath, Sophie went straight to bed. She had thought Tristan would come looking for her after the matter was dealt with, but it turned out to be just her wishful thinking. The next morning, someone knocked on the door. She roughly combed her hair before opening the door. The moment she did that, she saw Tristanâs familiar face and was pulled into his embrace. With Sophie in his embrace, Tristan whispered next to her ear sexily, âGood morning.â Sophie was taken aback. âWhy are you here?â It was her assumption that he had already returned because he didnât come to look for her during the night.
