Anything For Her

Chapter 720 Top Assassins

Tristan left many work matters in the hands of his subordinates.

He was focused on planning the proposal and engagement.

He could've hired a wedding planner to handle everything, but he wanted to do it personally for Sophie.

He wanted her to have nothing but the best and took it upon himself to take care of every single detail, including the preparation of their new home.

It was exhausting to do so, but when he saw the fruits of his labor, he was overwhelmed with a feeling of joy and satisfaction.

This would be their future home.

He was convinced that they had found the perfect home, one in which they could build a life together and raise their children.

Felix was busy, too.

Tristan had taken time to pick the furniture personally according to Sophie's preferences. That sight made Felix realize the magnitude of Tristan's love for Sophie.

Tristan was even smiling blissfully when he took care of the trivial matters.

“Everything is ready, save for the proposal. When are you going to propose to her?” Felix asked. He knew that Tristan had been struggling to come up with an idea for the perfect proposal but had yet to make a final decision.

“I'll do that a few days later,” Tristan said. He was planning on informing Josiah about their wedding first. “Right, is the Sable family up to something?”

Nicholas had always been known for his crazy behavior, so it was especially strange that he was doing nothing after learning about Sophie's upcoming nuptials.

“Nothing for now. Don't worry. I've assigned someone to keep watch on them,” Felix assured him.

Alex was dead, so the Sable family would definitely avenge him.

Even if Nicholas were to die, nothing would stop Tristan and Sophie from getting married.

“I believe the Sable family has decided to withdraw from the game,” said Tristan irritably. He was no longer willing to accept their behavior, as they kept challenging his limits.

“Ignore them. We'll handle this, so focus on your wedding,” Felix reassured him. He didn't want Tristan to worry about it and risk affecting his upcoming wedding.

“All right. Be careful, then.” Tristan nodded. He knew that a cornered beast would resort to something desperate, after all.

Meanwhile, Javier was reading the file brought to him by his trusted aide.

“Old Mr. Sable, this is an ideal situation for us. Before, we could not do anything to Sophie because of her remarkable capabilities, but the circumstances have changed now. Now that she is injured, with her leg wounded, we can certainly seize this opportunity to end her life.”

Mr. Nicholas will always be infatuated with Sophie if she remains alive, so she must die.

“I will offer a sizable reward of five hundred million to anyone who can accomplish the task of killing Sophie. Make the necessary arrangements to ensure this is done.”

His trusted aide was surprised. Is Sophie's life worth that much?

Meanwhile, the members of the assassin organization were delighted to see the order.

Five hundred million was an enormous reward offered to anyone who could successfully assassinate the target.

Such an opportunity was too good to pass up, so many assassins made their way to Chanaea immediately.

It was late at night when Sophie, Arius, and Barney stepped out of the temporary base of the Chanaean Medical Association.

“Wait here. I'll go get my car and give you a ride home. It's late. It's not safe for you to be alone,” Arius said.

“No need. You should leave with Dr. Smith. I've told Tristan to come and pick me up. He'll be here soon.”

“Oh, I see. We'll be on our way, then. We know you don't enjoy having people interrupting you two,” Arius joked.

Sophie and Tristan had recently been feeling more in love than ever. They were both excited to begin the next chapter of their lives as husband and wife.

“Be careful, Sophie,” Barney reminded. He was worried, but it was quite safe here, so he was certain that she would not run into any danger.

After watching them leave, Sophie whipped her phone out to call Tristan.

Tristan was driving, but he answered her call.

“Have you gotten off work? I'll arrive in ten minutes. Wait for me inside the building. It's still cold outside,” Tristan said. He knew she was afraid of the cold and wanted to make sure she wouldn't have to endure it for too long.

“I know. Take your time. It's dangerous to talk on the phone while you're driving,” Sophie replied cheerfully.

“It's all right,” Tristan assured her. “I'm quite familiar with racing, so I'm confident that I can handle driving on a public road. Plus, I'm using Bluetooth, so there's no need to worry.”

During their conversation, Sophie sensed something off and dodged away deftly.

Indeed, someone had shot at her using a gun with a silencer.

“I need to get back to work. Talk to you later!” Sophie said hastily.

Tristan would take ten minutes to arrive, so she had to depend on herself to survive the attack.

“Mm, I'll be there shortly,” Tristan replied, not realizing that she was in trouble. He quickly ended the call to focus on driving. His gaze shifted to the bouquet of vibrant red roses that rested on the passenger seat, which elicited a blissful smile from his face.

Meanwhile, the top assassins had already revealed themselves before Sophie.

The sight of them brought a vicious smile to Sophie's lips.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had gotten involved in a fight. It seemed that she had stopped involving herself in dangerous situations after she got together with Tristan.
