Chapter 740

"Very well. I'll make the arrangements. It's getting late, so you should rest soon,” stated Sean.

Whatever Tristan decides to do, the three of us will support him.

“Got it.” Upon hanging up the phone, Tristan turned to Sophie. “Il won't let anyone hurt my family or

you.”

She hugged him. “Don't worry. No matter what your decision is, I'll support you.” I also can't bear

letting other people hurt his family.

Meanwhile, Charles and Sean were conversing.

"What? Nicholas is behind this? Why is this guy everywhere? I can't believe he still has the gall to do

this after he escaped last time. He's looking down on us, huh?” Charles gritted his teeth.

“Mr. Tristan's order is clear. He wants us to take him out permanently,” informed Sean. While they

were good citizens, they couldn't stay passive any longer after their enemy dared to touch those

closest to them.

“Sounds good to me. That way, he's guaranteed not to bother us anymore.” I really have no idea

what Nicholas is thinking. Sophie doesn't like him at all, so why is he doing all these things? It'll only

make her hate him even more.

“The Sable family is no pushover, so we must take great care when devising our grand plan,”

reminded Sean. This time, we have to take care of him for good. Otherwise, he'll keep going and

forever be a thorn in our side,

"Sure. It's getting late, so I'll head home first. Tomorrow, we'll meet up and continue this discussion.”

Charles stood.

"All right. Oh yeah, how's Winter doing lately? You should keep an eye on her and prevent her from

doing anything stupid again. If not, no one will be able to bail her out.”

"Don't worry, I have people following her, so there shouldn't be any problems,” Charles assured. I

wish I didn't need to be worried about her.

After he returned home, he saw Winter and Juan talking about something.

Initially, he had no interest in joining the conversation. However, when he overheard them talking

about Sarah, he paused and approached them. “You visited Sarah? Do you like her, Juan?” I thought

he said he didn't like Sarah in the past, so what's going on? Does this mean he no longer likes

Yvette?

"Yeah, I visited her,” Juan admitted. We are technically friends, after all. It's only normal to visit a

friend admitted to the hospital.

“Have you really moved on from Yvette, Juan? You used to like her so much.”

"All right, it's getting late. Let's all head to bed now.” Yvette was a topic Juan wasn't interested in

talking about at that moment. I must have been blind in the past. That's why I was misled by Yvette.

Now, I've truly understood what I want.

“It sounds like you did move on from her, regardless of how much you liked her before. Am I right?”

Winter wondered. If he can do that, this means Tristan can do it, too, right? In that case, I still have a

chance!

Upon hearing that, Charles shook his head. “I know what you're thinking, Winter. Stop it. Mr. Tristan

is already engaged to Sophie. Although, that's not important compared to their love for each other.

They're never going to split up, do you understand?” She should've given up on him a long time

ago. Why doesn't she understand her wish will never come true?

“Juan was engaged with Yvette too, and they broke up in the end! Clearly, nothing in this world is

permanent,” argued Winter. I'm still young. I can still wait. One day, Tristan will acknowledge me.

Isn't that what's happening with Juan and Sarah?

Juan frowned. Why did Winter end up like this?

In response, Charles refuted, “That's different. Juan was never madly in love with Yvette, which was

why they broke up.”

Stubbornly, she spat, “Then how do you know Tristan wholeheartedly loves Sophie? You're my

brother, so why do you keep taking other people's side? Why aren't you supporting me?” I feel so

awful. At the very least, shouldn't my family be supportive of me?

“Look, I'm willing to support you no matter what you do, except when it comes to this matter.

Really, no one can help you out with this. If you want to keep living in Jipsdale, you better behave

yourself and stop coveting something that doesn't belong to you.” Charles was truly sick and tired

of her antics.

That silenced her. However, she didn't absorb a single word he said.

Charles then turned to Juan. “You too, Juan. Since you don't like Sarah, you shouldn't bother her

anymore. It wasn't easy for her to give up on you, so you should let her find her own happiness.”

In response, Juan knitted his eyebrows. Her own happiness? But I don't want to let her find her own

happiness. If she does, what'll happen to me? What should I do? I feel like Sarah and I are bound

together, whether I want it or not.

Inside a mansion within Jipsdale, Richard provided plenty of delicious food for Nicholas, but

Nicholas didn't eat any of it.

Upon seeing that, Richard approached him. “You haven't eaten anything since noon, Boss. You

should really eat something. If you don't, how will you have enough energy to deal with your

enemies?”

Nicholas twirled the glass of red wine in his hand. “Tell me, Richard. Am I wrong to do what I did?”

Sometimes, he would question himself, wondering why he was doing the things he did. No matter

how much I force Sophie, she has never reciprocated my feelings. None of what I did worked. In

that case, what should I do? I feel lost.

"Of course, you have to seize the person you like when you have the resources to, Boss,” replied

Richard.

“You think so, too?" Those words perked Nicholas up. Yeah, he's right! Why should I let someone

else have the person I'm enamored with? I'm not a noble man. I can't just sit by and watch another

man take the woman I love.

“That's why you must tend to yourself first because only then will you have the chance to snatch the

person you like.” She's just a woman. Boss can have anything he wants!

Thus, Nicholas sat down and started eating. “Why have I never recognized a talented man like you

before, Richard?” If he had been around me to tell me this before, I wouldn't have felt so conflicted

for this long.

"Don’t worry, Boss. From today onward, I'll always be by your side to assist you,” assured Richard

Boss and I are the same type of people. We'll never let go of the things we like.
