Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 844 Manipulation

“Why do you think the president of Jetroina sent Joe to capture me?” Sophie was genuinely puzzled as she could not think of any reason for the president to go to such lengths to capture her, especially since there were no grudges between them.

Besides, Tristan had numerous collaborations with Jetroina, so Sophie assumed that the president would be careful not to endanger the relationship.

“I'll go to Jetroina myself after everything is settled. Then, we'll know the truth.” Tristan did not give an immediate answer. He decided to visit Jetroina to clarify the situation.

“Okay.”

“Don't worry too much. Rest for a while. We have a long flight ahead of us,” Tristan said.

“You should get some rest too,” Sophie replied.

During this period, he had been flying with her all over the place, and he had to be tired too.

“All right.”

After more than ten hours, the plane landed at Anglandur's international airport. As they disembarked, Sophie sensed that something was amiss.

There was a large group of people waiting for them, including the president.

“Ms. Tanner, you're finally back. We've been waiting for you here!” Marcus greeted her.

Sophie was confused about the president's strange behavior.

Anglandur is in chaos right now, yet he's waiting here instead of handling the crisis. There are even journalists present.

“Ms. Tanner, I know you made a great contribution to the virus incident, so I came here personally to welcome you,” Marcus explained.

The Anglandurans standing nearby also welcomed Sophie warmly.

She couldn't understand what the president was trying to accomplish. As expected, the minds of people in politics were not easy for ordinary people to comprehend.

“Mr. President, I need to go find my mentor now, so I shall take my leave,” Sophie said with a solemn expression.

I'm sure he wants to make use of me to salvage his dire situation.

Alas, Sophie was not someone who could be so easily manipulated.

Before Marcus could speak, Tristan interrupted, “Mr. President, if you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of the people here, you should stop now.” It did not take a fool to tell that Sophie had worked hard to help them solve the virus issue, and now he wanted to make use of her. Such a man was truly despicable.

After speaking, Tristan escorted Sophie to the car that was waiting outside.

The president had no choice but to do what he did. In Anglandur, the tenure for president was not indefinite, and since so many things had happened during his term, he naturally wanted to salvage the situation as best he could.

Unfortunately, Sophie was not willing to cooperate.

“What should we do now, Mr. President?” Jamie asked.

Frustrated, Marcus replied, “What else can we do? Let's go back first.” He had not expected Sophie and Tristan to so blatantly disrespect him.

However, there were no other options.

He still needed their help to solve the virus problem.

“Mr. President, I think Dr. Smith and the rest are talented. We shouldn't let them go,” Jamie opined.

In this large-scale crisis, only Barney had the skills to resolve the issue.

The other members of the International Medical Association had subpar skills and were not qualified to replace him.

Jamie advised, “Now everyone knows that Dr. Smith wants to leave. If you can keep him here, I think it will change everyone's opinion of you.” As the President's secretary, he naturally considered how best to support Marcus.

“I'm aware of that, which is why I came personally to pick up Sophie. Haven't you noticed? Among these three people, Sophie is the one making most of the decisions. If she agrees to stay, the other two will definitely stay too,” Marcus explained.

Being able to become the President of Anglandur, his observational skills were naturally very sharp.

“Hmm, it seems to be true. So let's focus all our attention on Sophie.”

They were sure that no one would turn down Anglandur as long as they offered better conditions. After all, many people had been trying so hard to be part of the country. The trio had been presented with the chance, and if their loved ones wanted to join them, arrangements could be made.

Once they got in the car, Sophie remained silent. Tristan knew she was angry, so he let her lean on his shoulder.

“That's how politicians are. They always only consider themselves. You don't need to take it to heart.”

No one could force Sophie to do anything she disliked, not even the president of Anglandur.

Hence, she could do whatever she wanted without worrying about other people's feelings.

“I know. I'm not angry.”
