Chapter 697 A Shot To The Head

“It was Sophie, Old Mr. Sable!” a man yelled.

Those who went with Alex naturally had a good relationship with him, and they witnessed him being shot in the

head by Sophie.

Hence, they couldn't bear to keep their mouths shut.

“It was Sophie, Old Mr. Sable!” the man shouted again.

Nicholas immediately shot that man an icy glare, and that man felt his knees go weak.

“Shut up!” Nicholas warned coldly.

“Now that it has come to this, are you still covering for Sophie? Is she even worth it? She wanted you dead, didn't

she? Alex died because of you!” Javier's words hit the nail on the head.

Nicholas clenched his fists again.

“That's enough.” Nicholas felt his head pounding. Although he had always been very strict with Alex, Alex was his

trusted right-hand man—he was also feeling terrible about losing Alex. Sophie is the love of my life, but be that as it

may, she is the one who killed Alex. If it weren't for Alex, I would've died when she tried to kill me. But... So what? I

can't possibly kill Sophie!

Javier was utterly disappointed in Nicholas, and all Javier could do was shake his head. “Are you saying that although

she had murdered Alex, we should let this slide?”

“Don't force me, Dad,” Nicholas uttered in a frustrated tone. “No matter what Sophie does, I can never harm her.”

Javier was rendered speechless. What on earth can I do to save this child? Sophie never loved him, and she has

never shown him mercy. How can Nicholas not see that?

“She doesn't love you. She's not going to accept you no matter what you do,” Javier lectured. That's what ultimately

led to what has happened!

“Give Alex a grand burial!” Javier then ordered and left. Sophie is the cause of all this.

Javier knew that all along, and he had been wanting to kill Sophie. That woman is too capable! I've already sent so

many assassins after her, yet she managed to kill all of them. Is she even human? Does she not have a weakness?

“Old Mr. Sable, what should we do now? If Mr. Nicholas continues to be like this, I don't think the members of the

Sable family are going to like it,” Javier's subordinate said. After all, Alex is rather influential in the Sable family. Not

only is Mr. Nicholas sitting on his hands after Alex had died in vain, but Mr. Nicholas is also covering for Sophie. This

is going to upset the others.

“What do you suggest, then?” Javier asked.

“I suggest we continue what we have been doing. Let's find the best assassin in the world and get Sophie killed!

Otherwise, I believe she's going to have Mr. Nicholas killed sooner or later,” the subordinate answered. Now is our

perfect chance because Sophie is still in recovery.

“You think so too?”

“Yes!”

“But Tristan is always by her side. You know what kind of man Tristan is, right?”

If they were to kill Sophie, Tristan would surely strike back.

The Sable family would be in trouble if that were to happen.

“In that case, we should just find the best killer in the world! Given how the world works, there's nothing people

wouldn't do for money.”

“Okay. Get it done! I don't care what the price is. I just want Sophie dead!” Javier ordered. For Nicholas' sake, I have

to take the risk. I can't let Sophie kill him!

Meanwhile, the president of Jetroina heaved a sigh of relief after he found out that Nicholas had returned to his

home country. With both Nicholas and Tristan around, I really didn't know how to solve the feud between them.

The president's secretary was also relieved. “Mr. President, I don't think you need to pay Ms. Tanner a visit

anymore. Since she killed Alex, the Sable family is surely going to go after her.”

“No. I think Ms. Tanner isn't an ordinary person. Even the leader of Chanaea had asked about her. Do you really

think she's merely Tristan's girlfriend?” the president replied.

Indeed, Sophie wouldn't have such a big influence if she were merely Tristan's girlfriend.

With that, the president of Jetroina immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare flowers and fruits as gifts for

him to bring to the hospital.

Tristan wasn't pleased when he saw the president. What the h*ll is he doing here?

The president's secretary was speechless when he saw the unhappy expression on Tristan's face. Why is Tristan

being so unwelcoming? Doesn't he know that there are countless people out there trying to butter the president

up?

“I'm sorry, Ms. Tanner. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in my territory.” The president of Jetroina couldn't

speak Chanaean, so he was communicating with Sophie in Jetroinian.

Sophie knew Jetroinian. Therefore, they had no trouble conversing with each other.

“I know you're a busy man, Mr. President. I'm fine now, so I shouldn't waste any more of your precious time,”

Sophie uttered politely and humbly.

“That's good. You must rest, Ms. Tanner. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll do my best to help.”

The president of Jetroina noticed Tristan's expression was getting darker by the minute. He knew Tristan was going

to get mad if he stayed any longer. Hence, he quickly left with his men.

Sophie couldn't help but chuckle. “Tristan, why did you do that? That's the president of Jetroina! Couldn't you show

him some respect?”

Tristan was at a loss for words for a couple of seconds. What's so great about the president of Jetroina? Why must I

respect him?

“I'm not going to be nice to anyone who disturbs your rest. In this world, there's no one I can't afford to mess with,”

Tristan announced haughtily.

With others, Tristan would always behave indifferently. In front of Sophie, however, he would reveal that side of

himself.

“There's nothing we can do about it. I think they're keeping an eye on me because they found out that the leader of

our country had personally looked after me.” Sophie was the key person in the country's virus research.

Thus, the leader of their country naturally wouldn't just stand idly by.

After all, she was a brilliant citizen of Chanaea.

And as a result, Sophie now had a lot of attention on her. Everyone was eager to know more about her.

“Yeah.” Tristan's gaze turned colder. I don't want Sophie to get too much attention because that might be a bad

thing in the future.

“Don't worry about me. I know how to hide my identity. Those people won't know a thing.” Sophie preferred to live

a simple life and keep a low profile as well.

“Got it. You can stay here to recuperate for a while more, and we'll have to go back to Chanaea right after. Now

that Alex is dead, the Sable family will surely try to come after you,” Tristan said.

Tristan wasn't afraid, but he could only focus on dealing with Nicholas after returning to Chanaea. In the meantime,

Sophie still needs some time to recover. She can't fight right now. There are a lot of people targeting her, and

mercenaries could show up anytime to kill her. I need to protect her.
