Chapter 723 Kill Him As Well

“We'll do it together.”

No matter what we have to do, we are together in this. I will not let him deal with it all on his own.

“All right. We'll do it together.”

A strategy was required to deal with the Sable family—an intricate, subtle strategy.

Tristan began scheming. Sean and the others knew what he wanted to do and did not stop him. Instead, they helped with his planning.

Meanwhile, in Anglandur, Nicholas was furious upon finding out what Javier had done.

“I told you before, stay out of my affairs. Why won't you ever listen?” Nicholas shouted hysterically. I have lain low this whole time.

Javier did not expect him to find out about that.

Even worse, he had hired five of the best hitmen in the world, none of whom were left alive.

“I told you, Nicholas, I won't let Alex die in vain!”

Alex is family. His death shall not go unavenged.

Nicholas' face was scrunched up.

“Then don't blame me for what I'm about to do. I'm just trying to protect the woman I love.”

I can't stop loving her just because Alex is dead.

“Wake up, Nicholas! How many times do I have to tell you she doesn't love you back? She will be the death of you if you keep going down this path.”

I can't believe Sophie survived this.

“Even if I were to die by her hand, it's my business.”

“Do you think yourself noble? You still don't know, do you? She's getting married to Tristan.”

Surely he'll give up after this.

“No, she won't. She'll only marry me. Nobody else can marry her.” The wedding hasn't taken place yet, anyway. I will not allow that to happen.

Javier frowned.

“Wake up, Nicholas. I told you Tristan and Sophie are getting married, and everybody knows how protective he is. What do you think you're going to accomplish?”

Why won't this boy give up? I don't wish to see him hurt. Tristan doesn't show anybody mercy.

“I will refrain from harming Sophie, but I want you to stay away from her. There are many other women out there. You're free to have any one of them.” I'm worried that something will happen to him.

Nicholas had had enough. “As I said, stay out of my business. I've got this handled.”

So what if there are plenty of other women out there? I only want her, and I can't help myself.

She was seared like a brand upon his heart, which he could not remove. His heart ached every time he thought of her.

I hate being this dramatic, yet love is an impossible matter over which nobody has any control.

“I am sending you to the psychiatric nursing home, and you should get some rest there. Don't concern yourself with the affairs of our family any longer. I'm going to take over, anyway.”

“I am your father, Nicholas. I don't wish to be placed in a psychiatric nursing home. I'm in excellent health. There's no reason for me to be there.”

“I'm doing this for your safety, Dad. You've always known what a willful child I am, and I don't know what I would do if you kept going.”

There was a manic glint in Nicholas' eyes.

“Don't you dare place me on house arrest, Nicholas. I'm the head of this family!” Is he thinking of replacing me while I'm still alive?

“What are you talking about, Dad? You're not going to die! Don't worry. I'll keep you alive and well.”

Having had enough of the conversation, he gestured for the servants to bring his father away.

Javier was beside himself with rage. “How dare you treat me like this, Nicholas? Everything I did is for your own good! How could you do this to me for a woman?”

However, Nicholas did not even give him the opportunity to protest.

He's lucky that nothing happened to Sophie, or I'll kill him as well. Nobody can harm her.

“What do you plan to do now, Boss?” Richard asked. Previously Alex's assistant, he had taken over the latter's spot upon his death.

“What do I plan to do? I, too, would like to know what my options are.”

Sophie said she had never loved me, and it had been a one-sided love affair the entire time.

Naturally, he was greatly saddened by those words.
