Chapter 982 Someone with A Death Wish
Felix might’ve come alone, but he left with another person. That pleased him immensely.
Even though Ysabelle had been away for some time, TS Entertainment never pressured her to return. Being best friends with the boss had its perks, and it was awesome.
“I need to work harder once I get back,” she vowed. Having neglected her work for a while, she realized it was time to recommit herself to her professional endeavors.
“Mm. I’ll support you whatever your decision is as long as you’re happy,” Felix told her.
“Felix, I’ll do my best to spend more time with you from now on. Singing holds great significance in my life, but so do you. I want you to understand that.”
“I know.”
Meanwhile, Sophic and Tristan were having breakfast when Bertram brought someone into the house. It was Arthur’s grandson, whose face was smeared with blood.
“What’s going on?” Sophie asked in startlement. Kaarle is dead, isn’t he? What happened to Mr. Camidge and the others?
“Ms. Tanner, my grandpa sent me here to seek help. Lily Sanders has brought a group of men to besiege us, and many have died.”
“What!” She blew her top, regretting her decision to spare Lily’s life.
“Come on! Let’s head there now.” Sophie immediately gathered her forces, ready to leave. Seeing that, Tristan tagged along as well.
When they arrived at Arthur’s village, Lily and her men were indeed there.
“Lily wants us to support her, but my grandfather refused to comply, so she physically assaulted him. At Grandpa’s age, how could he possibly withstand the blow?” Arthur’s grandson wailed on the way there.
“It’s all right. With me around, no one will dare to bully you guys. I promise those who did will face dire consequences!”
Sophie was the first one to barge into the house. Upon seeing her, Lily let out a scornful snort, amused by the woman’s audacity.
“Oh wow, isn’t this Ms. Tanner? What a coincidence,” Lily said fearlessly. Having mingled in Fandar for so long, she harbored no fear, not even in the presence of Tristan, let alone someone in her salad days like Sophie.
“Lily Sanders, they are innocent! What are you doing this for?” Sophie demanded icily when she saw Arthur lying on the ground with a gaping head wound.
“Innocent? Yeah, they are! I never claimed they weren’t, did I?” Lily retorted with a gun in her hands. “Ha!” Sophie sneered, knowing it was pointless to say anything else.
She strode over to Arthur and asked worriedly, “Mr. Camidge, are you okay? Are you still conscious?”
Right then, Tristan came in with his men. Lily’s eyes lit up when she saw him, for she had gone to great lengths to capture his attention.
The man narrowed his gaze upon taking in the circumstances.
This Lily Sanders seriously has a death wish. Since she’s courting death. I shall just grant her wish.
“Mr. Tristan, what brings you here? I’m merely handling some trivial matters in Fandar. Why do you guys seem so bothered?”
“Lily Sanders, you don’t seem to remember what I said before, huh?” he questioned frostily.
“That’s not true, Mr. Tristan. I remember every word you’ve ever said. You’re aware of my desire to have you all to myself, right? If you agree to be with me, I’ll do whatever you say,” Lily declared, leaving no room for ambiguity regarding her intentions.
In fact, she was telling the truth. Her love for Tristan was undeniable, and she had no intention of concealing her true feelings.
Arthur spoke up in a weak voice. “Ms. Tanner, I’m fine. Don’t worry. Lily is…”
Sophie patted him in comfort on the back.
“Rest assured. We’ll deal with Lily, I promise she won’t be able to behave this insolently ever again.”
After confirming that Arthur only sustained superficial injuries, she summoned his grandson to take care of him.
“Keep an eye on your grandpa. Don’t touch his wounds. I’ll dress them personally later,” she instructed.
“Got it, Ms. Tanner,” Arthur’s grandson agreed readily. He had complete trust in Sophie and was willing to follow her orders without hesitation.
Upon hearing Lily’s declaration, Bertram couldn’t help but let out a scoff. Seriously? I can’t believe how shameless this woman is!
“Lily Sanders, who the hell do you think you are? How dare you set your sights on Mr. Tristan?”
He couldn’t believe the audacity of Lily to declare her love for Tristan, knowing full well that Tristan was already engaged to someone else.
“Bertram, this is between Mr. Tristan and me. You’re merely his servant; it isn’t your place to comment about our relationship.”
“You-”
It was the first time someone had so blatantly disrespected Bertram. How dare she call me a servant? This d”mned woman! What a snob!
“Bertram, don’t waste time talking to her. Just take her down. I want her handed over to Mr. Camidge and the others,” Sophie ordered.
Someone with A Death Wish
Lily had inflicted harm upon Arthur and the rest, so it was only fitting that they get to deal with her.
“Sophie Tanner, how naïve of you to think I’d come here unprepared.” Lily ridiculed.
As soon as those words left her mouth, a crowd of men emerged outside the house. It was clear that she intended to ambush Sophie and the rest.
Lily flashed a smug smile. “Mr. Tristan, I genuinely like you, so I kept giving you chances. What do you think of me? I’m being sincere here. If you agree to submit to me, I can give you anything you want.”
The woman wasn’t lying when she claimed to truly like Tristan. Such had always been her style. She would do anything to get every man she fancied in her bed.
“Dream on,” Tristan responded in an exceptionally cold tone. Does she really think her victory is assured?
“Alas, if you’re going to be so stubborn, I suppose I’ll have to resort to more persuasive methods. Fine. Since you insist on playing games, I don’t mind playing along,” she said.
Since he prefers exciting stuff. I’ll gladly accommodate him. It’s more fun this way!
“Trying to take my man? Not in a million years!” Sophie stepped forward with unwavering determination in her gaze. She had never been one to back down or be intimidated by anyone.
She got her men to hide Arthur and the others somewhere safe while she remained here with the rest.
They might be outnumbered, but Bertram and the others showed no fear.
There was no need for them to be scared when Tristan and Sophie were unfazed.
“Mr. Tristan, won’t you consider my offer? Do you really want to do this the hard way?” Lily queried.
She genuinely believed that she would come up on top in this altercation.
“Since you’re so eager to meet your demise, I can oblige right now instead of prolonging the inevitable,” Tristan hissed, his voice dripping with fury. Lily had crossed a line by provoking him, so he had no intention of showing mercy anymore.
