Anything For Her

Chapter 851 Show You What I Am Capable Of

Jamie pondered over it.

“Mr. President, you also know about the country's current state. If you can't come up with a solution, I'm afraid for the next election...”

A menacing glint flashed across Marcus' eyes.

He had spent tons of money to earn his current position. Yet, he just had to encounter such an incident.

I haven't even earned back what I spent!

“I got it. Set up an appointment with Barney for me. I want to speak to him alone.” No matter what methods I'd have to use, I can't let those three leave this place.

Barney knew things would not end on a simple note after he received the call from Jamie. When he brought Sophie and Arius here to help, he did not expect things to become troublesome.

Yet things had escalated to that point.

If the president does something that causes us not to be able to return, how will I face my two mentees?

Barney had a worried look on his face throughout the entire afternoon, and Sophie saw right through him and knew that he was troubled.

“What are you thinking about, Dr. Smith?” The three of them were discussing a new problem that Anglandur's doctors could have solved.

Barney snapped out of his thoughts.

“You two go back to Chanaea first. I'll settle things here before going to you guys. Go now.”

The president must've known that we were leaving. That's why he specifically asked to meet me alone.

I don't mind, but Sophie and Arius should not receive any threats from anyone. The two of them still have such bright futures ahead of them.

“Dr. Smith, we came here together. It's only natural that we return together. Don't worry about it.” Sophie tried to comfort him.

“The president won't let us return that easily. After all, we are his trump cards,” Barney said as he ran a hand through his hair.

He had always been like that. He was outstanding in the medical field, but when faced with situations like the current one, he had no idea how to resolve them.

“Dr. Smith, just go if he wants to meet you. Don't worry. We won't leave you here alone.” Arius was unhappy with Marcus.

Back then, Marcus was the one who begged them to come and help, yet now, he wanted to use various excuses to keep them in the country.

Does he think we're pushovers?

“Arius, don't do anything rash. No matter what, this is Anglandur. If you cause a scene here, I'm afraid it won't do you all any good.”

No matter how great they were with their medical skills, they were still in Anglandur.

“Dr. Smith, bear this in mind. As long as Sophie is with you, it doesn't matter which country you're in. You can do anything with your head held up high. She can help you solve anything.” That was how much trust Arius put in Sophie.

Barney could not help but let out a heavy sigh as he stared at his two mentees.

Tristan, quiet the entire time, suddenly said, “Dr. Smith, you don't need to worry. I won't let them harm any of you.”

Hearing that, Barney nodded.

When he was finally alone with Tristan, he said, “Mr. Tristan, if anything does happen to me, promise me you'll take them with you and leave. Don't bother about me.”

He did not wish Arius and Sophie to participate in a political war. The two of them need only do as they should and conduct experiments.

“Dr. Smith, I'm being serious here. The president won't be able to do anything to us. You have to believe in us,” Tristan replied calmly.

When night came, Jamie went to the hotel to personally escort Barney. Barney did not wish to cause a scene. He even thought it would be better to resolve things peacefully. That way, things wouldn't be awkward for everyone.

The dinner venue was Marcus' mansion, where he had previously stayed. The car drove into the mansion's driveway.

This time, Barney did not let Sophie and Arius follow him. He was unsure what Marcus would do to them if they did.

“Dr. Smith, you don't have to be so nervous. The president doesn't have any ill intentions. He invited you for dinner tonight to thank you for your recent contribution to Anglandur.”

Jamie tried to lighten the tense atmosphere.

However, Barney was still expressionless.

“Dr. Smith, to be honest, there's something I don't understand. You're also from Anglandur. Why must you go to Chanaea? Is Anglandur not treating you well?” Jamie asked tentatively.

There was only one goal Jamie and Marcus had that night. It was to make those three people stay.

If the result of the negotiation were not up to expectations, they would have no choice but to lock Barney up.

Those people would do anything to ensure their own benefits.

“That's none of your business.” Barney had no desire to talk to Jamie. After all, the latter had never taken him seriously.
