They would be doomed if anything were to happen to Tristan.

“Get out of my way!”

D*mn Clayton. I’m going to skin him alive! How dare he hurt Sophie?

Eustace was worried about Sophie as well, so he followed suit.

Meanwhile, both Yale and Charmaine did not dare to approach the stairs. They knew that someone was wielding a gun upstairs, and they were afraid of dying.

“Who do you think got hurt?” Yale asked.

Charmaine, who was injured as well, didn’t feel like playing the guessing game when Yale asked her that question.

“How am I supposed to know?”

“We can only hope that Sophie isn’t hurt, or no one would be able to withstand Mr. Tristan’s wrath!”

They even thought that Tristan did not care about Sophie in the past, but they were proven wrong that day.

Judging by the look on Tristan’s face, it was obvious that he cared about her. He probably kept their relationship a secret to protect her.

Tristan and Felix were the first to reach the second floor. The moment they arrived, they were greeted by the petrifying sight of Sophie covered in blood.

For a moment, Tristan thought his heart would stop beating.

I shouldn’t have waited downstairs. I should have come up here right away. If I came up here immediately, she wouldn’t be hurt now.

Tristan had never been so afraid in his life.

He had been through many things in his life, but even when he was on the verge of death, he never felt fear like this before.

Tristan’s hands trembled as he didn’t even have the guts to approach Sophie.

He didn’t want to face the fact that Sophie had been hurt.

When Sophie turned to see Tristan, she noticed his ashen pallor. Furrowing her brows, she was puzzled. What’s wrong with him? Is he feeling unwell?

With that thought in mind, she walked over to him.
