Changing Only For Her - Season 2 Episode 10

Felix had no idea Tristan would bring Sophie to the dungeon.

Everyone who was tortured and questioned here would definitely spill the truth.

Sophie was in a daze after she entered the dungeon.

It did not occur to her that Tristan would bring the men here and that such a place existed in Jipsdale.

“Mr. Tristan,” Felix greeted. He had just arrived a while ago and didn’t have the chance to question the mercenaries yet.

“I’ll bring you around,” Tristan said to Sophie, who nodded in agreement.

Despite priding herself on her rich experience, she couldn’t stop a chill from going down her spine at the horrible-looking devices used to torture the prisoners kept captive here.

“Mr. Tristan, do your rivals often try to assassinate you?”

Is he only the CEO of Lombard Group? Why do so many people want him dead?

“Why?” Tristan led her deeper into the dungeon. Everything Sophie saw here gave her a new perspective of what Tristan was capable of.

“Why do you need to establish a dungeon like this?” The police might not be able to get the answers they wanted, but the prisoners here—including ruthless mercenaries—would definitely spill everything after being tortured by the highly advanced devices. There was simply no chance of fighting back.

“Indeed. After I took over Lombard Group, many wanted me dead,” came Tristan’s answer.

Hearing that, Sophie felt bad for him.

No matter how mentally resilient he was, he must be annoyed by those constant assassinations!

Tristan took in her expression and went to her.

Taking her hand, he said, “But they don’t have what it takes to kill me. I’m still healthy and alive.”

He wouldn’t have created a dungeon if it wasn’t necessary.

“You shouldn’t have brought me here,” Sophie said.

This place was very important to him. If someone else discovered the existence of this place and sent the evidence to the relevant authorities, he would be greatly affected.

“Sophie, you’re different from others. You mean a lot to me.”

He would allow her to do anything she wanted in his territory.

In fact, he could take over any territory that wasn’t his as long as she wanted him to.

His gaze was too affectionate, and Sophie had no idea how to respond. Without a word, she went deeper into the dungeon.

“The technology here is really advanced. I’m sure no one can refuse to talk.” No matter how strong one’s willpower was, one couldn’t resist for long.

“Yes.”

He had spent a lot to build this dungeon, so it was undeniably effective.

After their tour ended, Felix had already pried the information from the mercenaries’ lips.

“Mr. Tristan, the Zaleses sent them, just like last time in Horington,” Felix reported.

The Zaleses had always been jealous of the Lombards and had been trying to wipe them out in secret.

“Clayton Zales.” Tristan’s guess was right.

The only person who dared to pull this feat in Jipsdale could only be Clayton.

“Mr. Tristan, what should we do about them?” Felix asked, for there were over ten mercenaries here.

“Hand them to Eustace. He’s been trying to capture them, hasn’t he?”

Sophie blinked after hearing Eustace’s name.

“Sure.”

They were doing Eustace a big favor.

“I’ll handle the rest. It’s late. You and Sophie should go home and rest.” Deep down, Felix was still afraid of Sophie. She’s not someone to be messed with. I need to show her more respect or risk invoking her wrath.

Sophie yawned loudly. She was indeed exhausted after the fight. “If you’re busy, I can head home myself.”

In an attempt to butter up to her, Felix immediately replied, “You are the most important person here. I can handle the rest, so don’t worry!”

“Let’s go,” Tristan uttered.

His large hand wrapped around her tiny one and warmed her hand up.

Sophie fell into a momentary daze.

The moment Tristan left with Sophie, Felix ordered his men to tie the mercenaries up.

“Mr. Northley, what should we do with them?”

“Drag them to the door of the SWAT team and leave them in the hands of Eustace. He has dealt with similar matters plenty of times.”

The mercenaries had assassinated several important government officials, so Eustace would be rewarded for his outstanding service if he were to arrest them.

That was the exact reason why Felix was terrified. The mercenaries were known to be ruthless, but Sophie had managed to defeat them easily. It was really mind-blowing.

These few days, Eustace had been busy with a case. He didn’t get to sleep well.

He had just fallen asleep that day when he received a call from his team.

“What is it?” Eustace pinched his nose bridge in an attempt to wake up.

“Captain Sheppard, come to the station now!”

Eustace’s brows snapped together.

“What happened?” he asked. His team members from the SWAT team had been working alongside him for some time and were experienced, so it was the first time he had seen them this flustered.

“You’ll find out when you arrive. Even if I explain everything to you now, you won’t trust me.”

Eustace drove to the SWAT team at once. When he saw that over ten mercenaries were all bundled up inside, he promptly lost his cool.

The leader of the group of mercenaries was an internationally wanted fugitive. His team had been finding the whereabouts of these mercenaries but to no avail.

Who is capable enough of capturing them before sending them here?

“Contact Interpol.” Eustace kept his cool and made the arrangements. The leader of the mercenaries had committed many grave crimes, so no matter who captured him, he or she had done a good deed.

“Also, find out who sent them here.”

“Captain Sheppard, what a stroke of good fortune! You managed to arrest an internationally wanted fugitive when you were sleeping at home.”

Eustace rubbed his nose. That’s true. I’ve cracked a few important cases after I met Sophie. Hmm, it’s time for me to go see her. She’s a high school student, but not an ordinary being. Previously, she was involved in defusing the bomb. Was it also her this time?

The next morning, Eustace drove to Jipsdale Premier High.

He stared at the gate intently until he saw a young lady clad in uniform heading toward the gate with two buns in her hand. Without hesitation, he got out of his car.

Eustace was wearing his police uniform, which looked great on him. In fact, he looked dashing in his uniform.

Thus, he immediately attracted the female students’ attention.

Classes were going to begin soon, but they refused to head in.

“Wow, he’s a hunk!”

“Yeah! I used to think that Bailey’s hot, but he’s not as handsome as this man.”

“You’re right. Oh, how I wish I can marry a police officer.”

Sophie glanced at Eustace as she took a bite of the bun.

She chewed on it slowly before swallowing it.

“Captain Sheppard, you’ll cause a misunderstanding if you show up at my school in your uniform to look for me.”

“What kind of misunderstanding?” Eustace didn’t understand what she was talking about. “I’m here to ask a few questions.”

“What is it?” Sophie asked airily.
