Pursuing Her

Sophie took a sip of water and said, “Dr. Smith, once everything is done here, could you please help my grandpa? He's having health issues.”

Sophie was a medical student, so naturally, she noticed it.

However, Josiah didn't want her to know about it, so she just acted along.

Barney's hands froze momentarily when she suddenly mentioned Josiah. If she knows Old Mr. Tanner is critically ill, will she still continue with the research here? I need her here. With that in mind, he decided not to say anything about it.

“What's wrong?” Being as observant as always, Sophie noticed Barney's awkward reaction. “Did you see my grandpa already? Is something wrong with him?” she asked suspiciously.

Barney shook his head in response and lied by saying, “How would I have done that? I came here straight upon arriving from Anglandur. I haven't seen Old Mr. Tanner!”

“Are you telling the truth?”

Barney was a knowledgeable and tactful man. After the initial slip-up, his acting was natural once more. “Yes! Why would I lie to you? Don't you know how successful your grandpa's surgery was the last time around?”

“Okay. Got it! I'll go back to work now.”

A lot of people were relying on their research, so she knew she couldn't afford to waste time on that matter.

Meanwhile, Tristan and the others had their eyes set on their target after knowing that the mastermind was actually Anglandur's leader.

“Since they had the balls to do such a thing, we should teach them a lesson! Otherwise, they'll think they can bully Chanaea in whatever way they want.”

“I want to capture him myself,” Tristan uttered domineeringly.

“Okay.” Obviously, the other three weren't going to object to that. Indeed, this time around, we must show all the people in Anglandur that they can't afford to mess with Chanaea.

“Their general election will be held tomorrow, right? In that case, I'm going to stop him from taking part in it. By then, let's see if he can still act so brazenly!” Sean had always been a quiet man, but he was too angry. That b*stard is cruel. We ought to teach them a lesson!

“Come here. Let's devise a strategy.” Tristan gathered those three, and they started planning.

Any single one of them was capable of plotting a devious plan that could destroy their targets, let alone four of them combined.

At that moment, Anglandur's candidate, Stephen Warnock, was at home, and he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?

Seeing how Stephen was acting, his secretary asked, “Boss, are you okay? The general election will be held tomorrow, and everything's ready. Don't worry.”

Stephen nodded.

“What's going on in Chanaea?” Stephen's eyes were filled with viciousness. I've planned this for a long time. Now, Chanaea is doomed!

“Don't worry! Everything is going according to our plan. Chanaea is bound to obey us this time!” the secretary answered. We jumped through hoops and loops to force Chanaea into submission. Chanaea has plunged into terror, so it's only a matter of time now.

“How about Tristan?” Stephen was paying close attention to the man. Although Tristan is just a businessman, he's so influential that it's frightening.

“He's already in Anglandur. Hence, we have to be careful during the general election tomorrow. Tristan is an unpredictable man!”

“I heard that he and Nicholas are after the same girl. Give the Sable family a call, will you? I'm not letting Tristan leave!” Stephen uttered ruthlessly.

Stephen had always been after the same thing. He wanted Anglandur to own Chanaea, and the gene virus was only one of his efforts in achieving his objective.

“Sure, Senator! I'll contact them now!”

The moment Nicholas arrived home, he received the call. Evidently, the Sable family was rather influential in Anglandur.

Nicholas agreed to it right away when he was told about Stephen's plan. Since the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Stephen is now my friend. Nicholas went to find Stephen personally that night.

Stephen knew he had made the right move when he saw Nicholas showing up personally. It seems like Nicholas hates Tristan to the bone.

Stephen told his secretary to open a bottle of wine and raised a glass before saying to Nicholas, “I think we'll have a fruitful collaboration. If Tristan dares to come here tomorrow, there's no way back for him.”

Stephen hated Tristan because the latter stole quite a few business deals from him.

Nicholas took the glass and clinked his glass with Stephen's. “That's right. My only objective is to keep him here!” The general election was the perfect opportunity for Nicholas to do so.

Both parties spent the entire night strategizing. They were both extremely good, so everything would come down to the details.
