Anything For Her

Chapter 561

“Let's go!” Sophie ordered coldly for the sake of the onlookers' lives.

“No way! There's only one thing I want today, and that's for you to say yes to my marriage proposal.” Nicholas refused to settle for anything less.

“What absurdity!”

Sophie hated being threatened more than anything else.

Snatching the ring box out of his hand, she tossed it away without hesitation.

“Are you satisfied now?”

After saying that, she spun on her heel and left.

It's his business if he descends into a manic state, and it's also the onlookers' choice to stay here and watch. As such, they should bear the consequences themselves, no matter what happens next.

She didn't spare the ring box even a glance, nor had she any idea how much effort he had expended to buy that diamond ring.

Ultimately, she didn't care a whit about all that.

On the other hand, it went without saying that Nicholas was devastated.

Why did things end up like this? Is it not because of Tristan? In this case, I've got no choice but to kill him. Only by doing so will Sophie belong to me alone!

When Nicholas returned to the mansion he had just bought, Alex immediately knew that something must have triggered Nicholas again with just a look at his state.

Therefore, whoever set him off would undoubtedly end up bearing the brunt of his fury.

Alex had everyone else leave the living room, hoping to minimize the damage as much as possible.

Just when he was about to leave as well, Nicholas caught sight of him and called him back.

“Alex, do you all think that I'm a lunatic?” the man demanded out of the blue, a scarlet haze blanketing his eyes.

If Alex were to say something Nicholas didn't want to hear then, he would definitely go on a killing spree.

Alex racked his brain for a way to voice things in a way that he wouldn't hurt Nicholas.

“You've always been a remarkably outstanding person, and we all respect you greatly, Mr. Nicholas.” Well, I wouldn't possibly dare say that he's indeed a lunatic!

“Respect? Haha! I don't need your respect. All I need is Sophie! Go and make the arrangements.”

Nicholas' abrupt order had Alex at a complete loss regarding the arrangements the man wanted him to make.

In the next second, Nicholas declared, “Kill Tristan! Eliminate him no matter the price!”

If that's the only solution, so be it. Regardless of the cost of doing so, I'll bear it as long as I attain my goal. Everything else doesn't matter.

“But Mr. Nicholas—” It's Jipsdale here, not Anglandur. Even in Anglandur, we might not be able to kill Tristan easily, much less when we're now here in his territory!

“Why, are you questioning my orders now? Or do you not regard me as your employer at all?” Nicholas' eyes were icy cold. It was as though they could freeze someone to death.

“Why, are you questioning my orders now? Or do you not regard me as your employer at all?” Nicholas' eyes were icy cold. It was as though they could freeze someone to death.

“Understood, Mr. Nicholas. If you so wish it, we'll obey you to the letter.” From the look of things, nothing I say at this point will make a difference, so my only choice is to play along with him.

It wasn't until Nicholas heard Alex's affirmative reply that he calmed down.

“Make all the necessary arrangements. I want Tristan to die a tragic death!”

There's no need for me to say anything else, for that's the only outcome I want!

“Understood, Mr. Nicholas.”

“You're dismissed!”

Nicholas wanted to have some time alone as he was not in the mood to say anything further.

“You haven't had lunch, Mr. Nicholas. I'll have someone prepare some food for you.”

However, Nicholas waved a dismissive hand.

I'm not in the mood to eat now. How could I possibly eat when Sophie treated me with such contempt?

“Mr. Nicholas—”

“Go and make the arrangements I asked of you! I'll certainly have a feast when you've killed Tristan. Right now, I've got no appetite at the mere thought of him!”

At that exact moment, Tristan, who was at Lombard Group, sneezed several times uncontrollably.

Seeing that, Felix, Sean, and Charles exchanged a look.

“Mr. Tristan, we all know that you and Sophie are head over heels in love with each other, but you still need to take care of yourself, okay? Don't overindulge in the pleasures of the flesh!”

We're grown men, so we understand. How could he possibly restrain himself when he has such a beautiful girlfriend? He must be going wild every night!

In response, Tristan swept a gaze over them all.

“Where did the minds of the lot of you go? Get them out of the gutter!”

Despite saying that, he couldn't help wondering whether he was sneezing nonstop because Sophie was missing him.

I wonder what she's doing right now.

At the sight of him daydreaming, the three men couldn't help bursting into laughter.

“By the way, Felix, what's the progress between you and Ysabelle? What base are you at after waiting for such a long time?” Charles asked, curious.

That had Felix shooting him a glare.

“Do you think everyone is like you, striving for a home run in everything? I plan to spend forever with her, so I'm in no hurry!”

Indeed, he wasn't in any hurry, for he enjoyed the current process greatly.

He found nothing wrong with taking this one step at a time.

“Oh God, why are the lot of you so useless? Shall I teach you all a few tricks?”
