Sophie: He doesn't need my protection. I'm the one who can't stop fretting about him.
Liking someone meant not wanting to see them hurt.
She wouldn't be able to forgive herself if Tristan was injured because of her.
That was followed by a reply: All right. Let us handle this matter. The other members in the chat were
confident they could prevent Tristan from any harm.
Sophie then logged off, which was why she didn't see their reaction after they received Tristan's info.
Immediately after that, someone wrote: D*mn. Did you guys see who Phantom's lover is? I'm shaking
right now. It's Mr. Tristan!
They were in a state of utter disbelief.
Someone responded: What the h*ll? Does he really need our protection? Actually, does anyone even
dare to hurt him?
Another person replied: That's because you didn't see who's trying to hurt him, which is Nicholas
Sable! Why are the people around Phantom all so extraordinary?
After a brief moment, someone texted: All right, since Phantom asked us for help, let's just do our best.
Their bond with her was so deep that they were willing to give their lives for her.
Another person agreed: For sure. As long as Phantom needs something done, I won't say no to it.
After Sophie left the bathroom, she saw dinner had already been prepared.
Micah was worried she wouldn't enjoy the local food, so all the dishes were from her country.
“Give this a try, Ms. Tanner. If you dislike it, I'll ask the others to change it right away.” It was the first
time he saw Tristan bring a woman to the mansion. The fact that she would very likely one day be the
lady of the house prompted him to pay extra attention to making her happy.
“Thank you. This is well enough. I'm not picky,” Sophie replied tenderly.
Her demeanor satisfied Micah greatly. She's not overly humble or even a little arrogant. As expected of
Mr. Tristan, he really does have a good eye. Even his girlfriend is excellent.
“You may leave now, Micah,” Tristan ordered.
“Very well, Mr. Tristan.” Before the butler left, he glanced at Felix. What is Mr. Northley doing here?
Why does he have to join the couple's meal? He should've gone to the hotel!
He had to keep those words to himself because he was a professional butler. Still, he shot a subtle
begrudging glance at Felix.
When Felix caught that, he wondered if he had done something reprehensible. I'm only here for a meal!
Why is he looking at me like that? Do I not even have the right to eat? Are single people really that
unwelcoming?
“Let's eat!” Tristan noticed Felix's intention to say something, but he didn't ask what was on the latter's
mind because he really didn't want to listen to him talk at the moment.
In the end, Felix still blurted, “Am I interrupting you two, Mr. Tristan? It's not like either of you can do
anything about it right now, so my presence here doesn't count as a disturbance!”
Tristan resisted the urge to admonish him. Why must he be so blunt?
“It's me who's disturbing you two, Mr. Northley. I'm sorry,” Sophie apologized profusely.
After all, she was the one who insisted on following them on their business trip.
Felix promptly shook his head in response to Sophie's apology. “You mustn't say that, Sophie, because
I'm scared for my life when you do.” What kind of joke is this? What gave her that impression? Has she
not noticed the expression Mr. Tristan is making right now? If she keeps running her mouth, I think Mr.
Tristan will just ignore my dignity and throw me out of the house! I'm pitiful as is! I really hope she'll stop
it already. If I can turn completely invisible right now, I will. That'll be the best in this situation.
“Don't stare at him anymore, Tristan. Otherwise, I'll get jealous!” As expected, the instant Sophie said
that, Tristan shifted his gaze away from Felix.
To express his gratitude, Felix bowed his head in her direction. “Thank you, truly.”
“Let's eat! Of course, if you're not hungry, you can prepare for the emergency meeting first!” Tristan
exclaimed. They weren't in Norham for vacation, after all.
Without delay, Felix dug in. Fine! I'll just keep my mouth shut and eat quietly!
In the end, Sophie couldn't resist the urge to laugh. Felix's quite cute. What's rare is that, even though
he's the son of a rich family, he genuinely loves Ysabelle. She's always his number one priority. I
wonder when she'll notice it. Even though she looks forward to falling in love one day, she fails to
consider the people around her and that one of them may be who she's looking for already. That's cute,
too.
Upon detecting her laughter, Tristan inquired, “What are you so happy about?”
“Nothing!” She shook her head and resumed her meal.
Meanwhile, when Alex told Nicholas that Sophie had gone to Tristan's private mansion, Nicholas
started smashing objects in his house.
“D*mn it! D*mn them all to hell!” The fact that Sophie and Tristan were spending time together at
Tristan's mansion was something he couldn't tolerate.
Facing Nicholas' wrath, Alex didn't even dare to peek. What could he say at that point?
“What should we do next, Boss?” He asked because he still needed to let Nicholas lay out their next
move.
Whatever Nicholas asked for, his subordinates must comply.
That way, even if anything did cock up, and Javier came asking what went wrong, they could claim they
had nothing to do with it.
“Kill Tristan!” Nicholas barked like a mad dog.
A look of insanity swirled in his eyes. How dare that b*stard get so close to my woman! I cannot let this
slide! It doesn't matter who tries to snatch my possessions away. I will not forgive them!
“Are you really asking us to kill Tristan, Boss?” Alex had a good reason to be skeptical and hesitant
about the objective. After all, Tristan was an incredibly powerful and influential figure. If he were dead,
catastrophe would soon follow.
When Nicholas saw Alex's expression, he smashed his glass on the latter's body.
“What do you mean by that?” Nicholas growled arrogantly. “Are you saying I can't kill him? Who do you
think he is? Someone untouchable?”
“That's not what I meant, Boss! I'm just worried...” Alex was sincerely concerned that things would
spiral out of control.
“Stop yapping and do as I say! My decision is final!” The notion of consequences didn't cross Nicholas'
mind even once. All he cared about was taking Tristan's life. “You better make sure everything goes
smoothly. If I hear even a single mistake, your *ss is grass!”
Alex was rendered speechless. He actually wants me to kill Tristan! This is going to be an arduous
mission.
“One more thing! Don't hurt Sophie! If you even so much as touch her, I'll make your life a living hell!”
That really dumbfounded him. Sophie's a fighter on par with Boss! Since she's here too, will she stand
by and do nothing while we try to kill Tristan? How exactly do I ensure she remains unharmed while we
duke it out with Tristan and his forces? This is clearly an impossible mission!
“Boss, I—”
“You can leave now.” Before Alex could finish his sentence, Nicholas was already asking him out. The
latter had closed himself off from any differing opinions.
With a sigh, Alex left. He was already used to Nicholas' perverted demands after staying by his
employer's side for years. I guess I have to do my best to fulfill his wish. But, still. What about Old Mr.
Sable's request?
