Chapter 691
Alex was just next to Nicholas. When he saw Arius speaking rudely to Nicholas, he became furious as a murderous look entered his eyes. Even so, Arius was not scared.
“Why are you looking at me? Did I say something wrong? Whoever he fancies will end up with bad luck! Such a love is too frightening.”
Arius was truly angry. After talking so much, his words had fallen on deaf ears. It was outrageous.
If Arius was more skillful, he would have pried Nicholas’ head off and checked if there was something amiss with his mind.
“Arius, if you have a death wish, I can fulfill it. In any case, Dr. Smith is here. Even without you around, Ms. Tanner will be fine,” said Alex rudely.
“Alex, have you lost your integrity? I’m speaking the truth. Why are you getting angry with me?”
Nicholas is a psycho! His love for anyone is perverted.
“You—”
Alex charged at Arius, and Arius immediately took a step back.
To be honest, he was not Alex’s match. At a time like that, he could not face Alex head-on. If not, he would be at the losing end.
“Alex!”
Nicholas stopped Alex.
“Mr. Nicholas, since he doesn’t like it here, I’ll throw him out. I’m sure Ms. Tanner will be fine with Dr. Smith around.”
Arius was not the only doctor in the whole world. Therefore, there was no need to bow down to him.
“Enough! He’s Sophie’s friend. Be polite to him.”
Nicholas knew how important Arius was to Sophie. Even he himself could not do anything to Arius!
“Did you hear that? You’re just a dog. Even your boss knows better than to treat me badly.” Arius did not like Alex either.
What’s the big deal? All you know is to fight all day long.
So what if you’re loyal?
Nicholas doesn’t seem to treat you any better.
“Arius, are you done? If you don’t wish to stay here, I can get someone to send you back. However, there’s no way I will allow you to take Sophie away. I have my limits.”
There were other issues that Nicholas needed to deal with.
As such, he had no time for Arius and his nonsense.
With that, he was about to leave.
Arius was furious. Damn it! No wonder Sophie picks Tristan over him. That’s because Nicholas is crazy!
Arius returned to Sophie’s room. The moment Barney saw his expression, he already knew the outcome.
“He still refuses to let her go, doesn’t he?”
“He’s a psycho! Why would he let her go? All this while, he has been using me to threaten Sophie. Now that he has both Sophie and me in his custody, why would he let us go?”
The moment Arius thought about what had happened, he became infuriated.
Then again, there was no way out of it.
That helpless feeling was terrible.
“Sophie, what should we do now?” They were surrounded by Nicholas’ subordinates. Honestly, Nicholas was equally as powerful as Tristan.
Even though the three of them were being held there, there was no way Tristan could just barge in like that.
Do we really have to leave with Nicholas?
Sophie could not help but roll her eyes.
“Professor Gullifer, can’t you see that I’m a patient? How can I be of any help?”
If she had not been injured, she could not care less about Nicholas.
Unfortunately, she was injured, and there was nothing she could do about it.
“Do you have your phone with you?”
“The moment I got here, they took my phone away. How can I have it with me?” Nicholas would never allow them to have their phones.
“Try to think of a way to contact Tristan. He’s our only hope.”
Both Barney and Arius were not good fighters. To make matters worse, Nicholas had so many men around. The two of them would not be able to get Sophie out of there by themselves.
“Nicholas nearly killed me just now! Dr. Smith, you go! Given your esteemed status, Nicholas won’t hurt you even if he catches you red-handed.”
Barney and Sophie were speechless.
“Arius, are you commanding me now? I’m your mentor, not the other way around.” Barney snorted coldly.
Arius was dumbfounded.
Oh, so now he remembers that he’s my mentor!
“Go on then! Don’t waste any more time. We can’t afford to,” Barney said matter-of-factly.
He had never done anything like that before and had no idea what to do. Therefore, it would be better to send Arius.
“Let me tell both of you something. If Nicholas really kills me, both of you will be guilty for the rest of your lives.” This is too much. They only know how to order me around.
“Don’t worry. If anything untoward happens to you, I’ll give you a proper burial,” promised Sophie heartlessly.
“Dr. Smith, now I regret coming here. Let’s go. I’ll take you back. Let her stay here alone. I suddenly realize that Nicholas is quite a nice person. Let the two of them get married to one another.”
Sophie was very sure that he would not leave. “Fine! Go!”
“You—” Arius pointed at her nose. “Sophie, you know d*mn well I won’t leave. You’re too much!”
“All right. Once we’re out of here, I’ll buy you whatever you want.”
“Hmph! I’m not a three-year-old child! It’s not that easy to coax me!” In that instant, Arius became arrogant.
“Arius, that’s enough. We don’t have much time to waste,” reminded Barney. Don’t be so childish, will you?
Arius instructed, “All right, I’m leaving now. If I don’t return in half an hour, take Sophie and come to rescue me. Even though Nicholas is a psycho, he does listen to Sophie.”
He had no doubt that Nicholas would slaughter him if he was caught trying to contact Tristan.
“Arius, how did I not realize that you were such a coward?”
Arius rolled his eyes.
Are you joking with me? Nicholas is an unreasonable person.
However, Arius decided to go all out for Sophie’s sake.
The moment Arius walked out, a man in a black T-shirt stopped him.
“Where are you going? Our boss has said that none of you is allowed to go anywhere!”
Arius frowned.
“Is this how you treat your guests? Don’t you know who that person inside is? She’s your future mistress! How dare you defy her!”
What?
Future mistress!
“Even so, our boss has already given his orders. The three of you aren’t allowed to leave without his permission,” said the man in the black T-shirt seriously.
“Without his permission? Why don’t you give him a call now and see if he approves or not?” said Arius arrogantly. “What’s wrong? Do you think that Ms. Tanner isn’t important enough? Your boss tried all manners of schemes to get her here so that he could marry her. If anything happens to Ms. Tanner, do you think you can bear the full responsibility?”
