“On top of that, you don’t have to worry about me getting involved with him in any way,” Sophie declared.

Once she had said her piece, she strode out of Javier’s study.

The moment she left, Nicholas emerged from the shadows, eliciting a sigh from Javier.

“What’s your goal in getting me to hear those words? Didn’t I already tell you? Stop wasting your time!”

At that moment, sorrow was the only thing Nicholas felt. Nothing else really mattered, for what Sophie said was true.

“Nicholas, why are you such a failure? Didn’t she make herself clear? She has no feelings for you at all. In that case, you should do what’s necessary. Now that you have a golden opportunity, do you still need me to remind you of it?”

Tristan never had the intention of letting Nicholas go.

Now that the former was here in their home, killing Tristan would be extremely easy.

“I don’t want Sophie to hate me.” He obviously knew that this was the best chance he had but couldn’t bear the lifelong burden of Sophie’s animosity.

Javier inhaled a deep breath.

“Nicholas, are you really my son? Since when do I have such a failure like you as my son?” He has forsaken his family on the account of love.

Nicholas remained silent, for it was a question he didn’t have the answer to.

“Let me remind you again that this is as close as you would ever come to killing him. If you let him go, he might not return the favor next time.” They had no illusions as to how ruthless Tristan was.

“If I die in his hands, I’ll gladly accept my fate.” No matter what, he wasn’t going to kill Tristan in front of Sophie.
