Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 853

Chapter 853 Extreme Measures

“Yes, I have already instructed them to leave. Did you think I would give you the opportunity to use me to threaten them?” Barney replied firmly.

“Mr. President, don't worry. I've sent our men to keep an eye on the airport. They won't be able to leave,” Jamie quickly reassured Marcus. They had already revealed their intention, so there was no need to hold back anymore.

“Okay.” Marcus heaved a sigh of relief. “Barney, you should reconsider my proposal. Why would you choose to be imprisoned? If you agree to assist me, I can assure you that you will receive anything you desire,” he promised.

Barney said naught a word.

Those who had different beliefs wouldn't get along with each other, so Barney had nothing else to say to Marcus.

His only wish was that Sophie and Arius had been able to leave safely.

Nothing else mattered.

“Take him upstairs,” Marcus commanded. He was frustrated with Barney's unwavering stance, despite his attempts to persuade him.

What a stubborn man. I can't believe he rejected me despite my generous offer. D*mn it!

The bodyguards had just arrived to take Barney away when another person came in to report, “Mr. President, Sophie Tanner and Arius Gullifer are outside and have requested to enter the mansion.”

“What?” Marcus was taken aback by the unexpected news that Sophie and Arius had arrived at his mansion. He had assumed that they had already fled the country.

“Bring them in. See, Dr. Smith? Your mentees have made their decision. It's not easy for anyone to reject Anglandur,” Marcus said with a smirk. For many, entering Anglandur was a dream come true, and he could offer them everything they desired. He was confident that they wouldn't be able to resist his enticing offer.

Barney's face paled visibly. He was frustrated that Sophie and Arius hadn't followed his advice to leave the country. Sophie had competent fighting skills, but entering the president's residence was a risky move, and Barney didn't think they had a chance of leaving once they were inside. He couldn't understand why they were so naive.
