Pursuing Her

Chapter 567

A look of insanity filled Jennifer's eyes. As long as I have a hold on Sophie's weakness, I'll be able to make her do whatever I want her to do! With this, I'll make her suffer! It's her fault for snatching my man away!

“Are you crazy?” Minerva stared at her in disbelief. “If you really mean what you said, then you're not the Jennifer I knew in the past anymore! The Jennifer in front of me right now is just a madwoman!”

“That's right. I am mad. No one is allowed to take the man I have my eyes on from me! There's no way I'll give up after waiting so long!”

Shaking her head, Minerva uttered, “I'm telling you this as a friend, so listen to me well. If you continue down this path, you'll destroy yourself.”

If not for their established bond since childhood, she really wouldn't have bothered to care about Jennifer at this point.

“Even you refuse to believe me, Minerva? I just want the love I deserve. Is that so wrong?” Jennifer had always been an excellent girl who could get whatever she wanted.

That was why she was having such a hard time accepting the reality of her doomed love.

“Can't you see that Tristan loves Sophie?” Minerva closed her eyes, unable to bear looking at the current Jennifer.

At those words, Jennifer leaped to her feet. She glared at Minerva in a manner that resembled a snake preparing to strike.

Minerva stepped backward as she was terrified by Jennifer's expression.

“Aren't you my best friend, Minerva? Is it really okay for you to hurt me like this?” Jennifer demanded.

Shaking her head, Minerva rebuked, “Since you aren't willing to listen to anyone right now, I'm not going to speak further! However, I still want to advise you to be kinder. Sophie's grandfather did nothing wrong! There's no need for you to drag an old man into this!”

That was all she had to say to Jennifer, who felt so unfamiliar to her at that moment. It feels like I've never met the woman in front of me before.


As Jennifer watched Minerva leave, she smiled. It seems like no one supports me. Even though she's my best friend, she doesn't believe me too! How can she act that way? It doesn't matter. One day, I'll show everyone that I'm right. Tristan will be my man!

Lately, Alex's eyelid had been jumping.

Truth be told, people who worked in the same field as him tended to be superstitious. It was why he had recently been having a bad feeling that something terrible would happen.

When he contacted Javier, he reported the recent situation to the old man.

Javier had already returned to Anglandur, though he also had no idea what to do about Nicholas.

“Old Mr. Sable, Mr. Nicholas wants to kill Tristan. However, we're in Jipsdale right now. Even if we were back in Anglandur, I'm not sure it'd be possible to kill him. Tristan is just too unpredictable! If this continues, I'm afraid—” Alex cut himself off when he saw Nicholas entering the room.

“It seems like you have a pretty bad memory, Alex!” Nicholas' voice sounded icy, akin to a chilling wind in the height of winter.

In response, Alex hung up the phone.

“Mr. Nicholas, I...” At that moment, Nicholas seemed so terrifying that Alex couldn't help but step backward.

Pointing his gun at Alex, Nicholas yelled, “Why do you still not know what kind of person I hate the most, even after staying by my side for so many years?”

There was no way Alex didn't know what kind of person Nicholas was after all these years.

It could even be said that he knew Nicholas better than the latter knew himself.

However, regardless of what he was going to say, it would be of no use because Nicholas, in his utterly crazed state, wouldn't listen to anyone at that moment.

Still, Alex attempted to calm him down. “I was wrong, Mr. Nicholas!”

“Wrong? If you knew you were wrong, you wouldn't keep repeating the same mistake. It seems like the lesson I taught you last time wasn't enough,” Nicholas threatened.

With no other choice, Alex kneeled and uttered sorrowfully, “I'm doing this for your own good, Mr. Nicholas! You know what kind of person Tristan is! We can't kill him in Jipsdale!”

“Is Tristan more powerful than me in your mind? There's no one in this world I can't kill!”

In response, Alex shook his head. “He's not more powerful than you, but this is his territory. No matter what we do, it won't be as convenient as if we were still in Anglandur.”

Nicholas was enraged. “Do you think you have the right to keep staying by my side when you can't even handle such a simple task?”

Then he pulled the trigger.

The shot didn't land on a vital organ, though.
