Pursuing Her

Chapter 253

Felix couldn’t resist commenting, “I would never have imagined that this is how the great Mr. Tristan will be when he’s in love.” Charles said, “All right, stop messing with him. You’re only asking for a beating. It’s only natural that he cares about an incredible woman like Sophie.” Sean continued working. He had nothing to add to that conversation. Tristan made his way to the floor-to-ceiling window and fished his phone out of his pocket.

You finally came back, and you’re already glaring at me. Did I do something wrong?” I’ve been working my butt off for you, so can you stop being so mean?

As expected, a man showed up with a briefcase while they were eating. Muriel switched on her phone and showed Sophie the photo of the man. “See that? This is the drug

Eustace and the others are actually here to capture this drug lord. Now that they’re here, should Nalliance fall back? “Get this, Sophie. The reward for apprehending this man is one hundred million. Words have been released internationally that whoever catches this man will be rewarded with one hundred million!” “So?” Sophie didn’t understand her point of saying all that. “Well, I’m quite short of money. How about we go get him together? That way, we can split the hundred million between us.” The mere thought of having all

couldn’t? Muriel reached out and held Sophie’s hand. “Sophie, this guy is an international sensation. If you can catch him, your reputation will soar to greater heights. By then, many people will come and butter us up. Man, I can already imagine how amazing that feeling would be.” “Sorry, but I am not interested,” replied Sophie. I have no use for a great reputation, anyway. “Don’t you want to be like Phantom and have everyone worship you?” “Not at all.”
