Changing Only For Her - Season 4 Episode 79

He would believe anything that Sophie said.

“It’s not that I don’t trust her. After all, we’ve been acquainted for a long time, so I know the kind of person she is. I believe she won’t do anything to harm you.”

“Don’t ever say something like that again,” said Tristan.

He would listen carefully to whatever Sophie wanted to say, but if the latter was reluctant to talk about something, he would never allow anyone to force her hand.

Felix could only shake his head.

Verily, that was the first time he had ever witnessed Tristan behaving like that.

Thus, he couldn’t help feeling concerned.

“Mr. Tristan, I understand that you love her, but we still need to get to the bottom of some things.” After being friends with Tristan for such a long time, Felix didn’t want the former to get hurt by a woman.

“Felix, there’s no turning back once you’re hopelessly in love with someone.” Sophie was like a toxic drug that had invaded his system.

He could no longer escape from her even if he knew he was being gradually poisoned to death.

“I wonder whether you should consider yourself lucky or not,” said Felix.

Felix could only hope that Sophie’s feelings for Tristan were sincere.

“All right. Don’t worry about me. Just do what you should do and I’ll handle the rest.”

He had faith in his own judgment and was confident that nothing would go wrong.

“Fine. I know I’m just your lackey, and since you never once listen to what I have to say, do as you wish.”

Regardless of how things panned out or what danger was lurking around the corner, they would remain by his side and would never abandon him.

That was what best buddies were for. Though they weren’t related by blood, they shared a bond stronger than biological brothers.

Felix was occupied with work in the branch company for the entire day.

Tristan, on the other hand, was also handling some tricky work-related matters. By the time everything was settled, it was already five in the afternoon.

When Tristan and Felix returned to the mansion, the butler had already prepared dinner.

“Welcome back, Mr. Tristan and Mr. Northley. I’ll go and inform Ms. Tanner to come downstairs and join both of you for dinner,” the butler enthused.

“That won’t be necessary. I’ll do it.”

Tristan removed his coat and handed it over to the butler while Felix made his way to the dining table to take a seat.

“Mr. Tristan, please don’t forget that we still have a flight to catch.” It was unknown how much time Tristan would spend upstairs since the couple was still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship and would find it hard to restrain themselves from indulging in a passionate moment.

“Felix, I won’t consider you mute even if you kept your mouth shut. Enough with all your nonsense,” warned Tristan. Looks like he still hasn’t learned his lesson.

Felix immediately swallowed his words.

“Fine. I’ll shut up. Happy?” Felix was slightly worried. Ophelia was quite a capable woman, and she had already familiarized herself with the operation of the company in less than two days. If she could focus on her job, the branch company in Norham would be in good hands.

Unfortunately, she had foolishly fallen in love with Tristan. Hence, Felix wondered if she would stir up trouble in the future.

His head hurt at the thought, but there was nothing else he could do, for he hadn’t told Tristan about Ophelia’s feelings yet.

Besides, the woman had not done anything untoward for the time being, and it was not like Felix could stop her from falling in love with Tristan.

Sophie had just successfully hacked into Nicholas’ company’s system to obtain top-secret information when Tristan entered the room.

A cruel smile appeared on her face.

He would pay the price for repeatedly provoking me, or he’ll never learn.

After masking her identity, Sophie sent the confidential information she stole to Nicholas’ longstanding rival.

Sometimes, one could still achieve one’s goal without having to make the move personally.

Once she was done, she stood up to stretch her stiff muscles, for she had been busy hacking into Nicholas’ computer for the entire afternoon.

Although the process had been grueling, no computer system was impenetrable to her.

The incident would keep Nicholas busy for some time, and he wouldn’t be able to cause trouble any time soon.

Tristan opened the door and entered the room.

“Why have you been staying in the room all day? You should go out and get some fresh air.”

“I’ve been busy. It’s almost time, right? How’s everything going so far?”

She should be leaving as there were only three days left before the university entrance exam.

“You can stay. I don’t mind going home alone if things here haven’t been settled.”

There was no need for him to accompany her on the trip back home.

Tristan pulled her close and rested his chin on her shoulder.

“What’s wrong? Are you tired?”

“I’m fine, Sophie. What are you talking about? How can I not be by your side at such an important moment in your life?”

“Don’t tell me you’re thinking of going to the exam venue with me.”

“But of course.”

Seriously? It’s usually the parents’ job to accompany their children to the examination hall. Is my boyfriend actually going with me?

“Don’t you find it romantic?”

Sophie shook her head in exasperation.

“What’s so romantic about waiting outside in the scorching summer heat just like the rest of the parents? I’m not going to earn a higher score just because you’re waiting outside.”

Sophie couldn’t see his logic of accompanying her to the examination hall.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be waiting in the car with the air-conditioning on, so I won’t get heatstroke.”

“You’re missing the point!” Sophie turned to glance at him dubiously. What is going on inside his head?

“We’ll get back to this later. Let’s go and grab some dinner now before going back.”

“Okay.”

Forget it. It’s no point trying to reason with him because he won’t listen. If he wants to return with me, I should just let him.

At the same time, Nicholas had already constructed a plan to take Tristan’s life, but before he could execute it, his rival launched a surprise attack on him.

A gunfight broke out between the two largest gangs of Anglandur.

There were numerous casualties left in the wake of the battle.

It was already seven in the evening by the time Nicholas managed to extract himself from the situation.

Alex was standing beside him.

When the man noticed that his boss was bleeding, he offered, “Boss, why don’t I drive you to the hospital to get your wounds tended?”

He himself had also sustained many injuries but wisely chose not to say anything about it.

“Shut up!”

Nicholas was livid.

“What are the chances of us killing Tristan if we go after him now?” asked Nicholas. Alex was the one who arranged everything.

“I’m afraid we’d simply be carrying out a suicide mission if we were to pursue him now, Boss. Look at the number of casualties we suffered.”

“D*mn it!” Nicholas couldn’t help but curse.

“You go and investigate why Wayne and his gang attacked us all of a sudden. Also, find out how they got their hands on our confidential information!”

“Yes, Boss, right away. Please calm down.”

Nicholas still didn’t have the slightest clue as to who was behind all that even up to this point.

It was a terrible feeling to be kept in the dark.

Who the h*ll is it? Do they really harbor such a grudge against me?

The thought of Sophie returning to the country with Tristan and the fact that he himself was in such a pathetic state irked him to no end. Alas, there wasn’t an outlet for him to vent his pent-up anger.
