Anything For Her

Chapter 746 Worthwhile

“Do you want the truth?” Sarah asked as she drove.

“Yeah, tell me the truth,” Ysabelle replied.

“Do you remember how your grandfather asked you to learn self-defense, and you gave up?” Sarah probed. Is she

under the impression that the training camp is open to anyone?

Ysabelle conceded defeat. All she wanted was to help the people around her; she did not want to see them tire

themselves.

“Well, you have good intentions. Don't worry. They are all quite capable, so they won't require your protection. Just

be with Felix, and everyone will be relieved!” Sarah assured.

Disappointed by her reply, Ysabelle uttered, “Okay.” She would not have been in this predicament if she had

persisted in the past.

The meeting that Tristan was attending at Lombard Group was very important.

All the high-level executives were also present. As he listened to the proposals, Tristan's face became increasingly

displeased. Even the general manager sitting next to him dared not breathe heavily.

“All right, it seems that everyone is not well-prepared today. Continuing this meeting would be a waste of time. I will

give you all one more day. If your proposal is still mediocre, I'll have to hire new people!” Tristan said sternly. There

were many talented people in this day and age. They could not blame him for being ruthless if they continued with

their poor attitudes.

No one dared to object, and they all quietly left the room.

“You, stay!” Tristan instructed the general manager to remain.

The man started sweating profusely, trying to find the right words to say. He had truly done his best! “Mr. Tristan,

I...”

“I think Lombard Group will need a new general manager if there is no improvement in standards for the next

proposal,” Tristan warned.

The general manager could only stay silent.

“Okay, you can go now. I will only give you two days!” After Tristan spoke, he threw his pen onto the conference

table.

Feeling fearful, the general manager dared not say anything and left quietly.

If Tristan had known their proposal would be of such poor standards, he would have accompanied Sophie to

Anglandur.

What a disappointment! Sophie and the others should be arriving soon, right?

Right as he thought of that, his phone rang.

“We've landed. Has your meeting ended?” Sophie asked cheerily.

“Yeah. Take care of yourself!” It was pointless to say anything more. Tristan could only hope that she would take

care of herself.

“Don't worry, I will.” After hanging up the phone, Sophie discovered that everyone had disembarked from the plane.

Hence, she quickly walked out to catch up with the rest.

“Damn, it's so cold!” Arius complained.

“Yeah, it's really cold!” Butterfly zipped up her jacket and carried her black handbag.

Ever since Barney got off the plane, his expression had been solemn. There were too many things he had to deal

with on this trip.

Upon noticing Barney's glum demeanor, Sophie walked over and said, “Dr. Smith, didn't I tell you there's no need to

worry?”

Barney pretended to relax and assured her, “I know. Well, it's getting late. Let's go to Arius' hotel first!” Despite

having their own dwellings, it had been a long time since they visited and tidied their houses. Hence, they chose to

stay at a hotel instead.

“Come on, let's go!”

The four of them had not brought anyone else on this trip. However, there were several people following them not

far away.

After leaving the airport, the bodyguards arranged by Tristan spotted them and began following them. There were

more than twenty bodyguards.

“Did Mr. Tristan arrange this?” Butterfly noticed the guards as soon as she left the airport. Given that she had been

with Sophie for a long time, she was naturally more observant than ordinary people.

“Yeah!”

“To be honest, men like Tristan are really rare in this world!” Butterfly could not help but exclaim.

Although Tristan could not come with them, he had arranged for many bodyguards to follow them. Even if anything

did occur, it would be easier to address with their assistance.

“Yeah.” Sophie's expression softened when she heard the man's name.

She had no objections to his arrangements. Although she had her own influence here, the feeling of arranging

things herself and having someone else do it for her was different.

Arius snorted. “Is he really that good? If he is, he should have come with us.”

Now that Tristan isn't here, it's an excellent time to slander him. Otherwise, when will I get another opportunity?

Butterfly was speechless. In fact, she was disgusted by Arius' petty behavior. “Professor Gullifer, do you dare say

these things in front of Mr. Tristan? If you don't, keep quiet!”

When Barney saw how expertly they had arranged everything, his anxiety decreased slightly. He chuckled and said,

“Let's go!”

The group soon arrived at the hotel. Meanwhile, when Remus Black from the International Medical Association

learned that Barney had returned, his expression turned sullen.

After Barney's departure, Remus had been promoted from deputy to head of the International Medical Association.

“Where are they now? Let's invite him out for dinner tonight!” Remus suggested. Since he had gone to Chanaea,

why did he come back? Does he still want to compete with me for this position?

“Mr. Black, I'll make the arrangements. You can rest assured that even if Dr. Smith returns now, the International

Medical Association no longer has a place for him! The leaders will definitely not let a traitor off so easily.”

Barney's return was part of a strategy devised by the higher-ups. Unfortunately, he and the others might not make

it back to Chanaea alive.

Upon hearing his assistant's words, a sinister smile appeared on Remus' lips.

“Well, of course. Mr. Hunt never shows any mercy to traitors!” Remus heaved a sigh of relief.

Barney was a thorn in his side. As long as the former existed, his life would never be peaceful.

Hence, Remus was the one who most wanted Barney dead.

“Anyway, please make the arrangements. No matter what, he is still my teacher. It's only natural for me to invite

him to dinner!” Remus said with his usual coldness.

“Okay, Mr. Black.” The assistant immediately went to make arrangements.

As soon as Barney and the others arrived at the hotel, they received a call from Remus' assistant. Since he had

previously mentored the Jetroinian man, Barney did not have his guard up and readily agreed to the request. “Dr.

Smith, who was that?” Sophie had been by his side and naturally heard his phone call.

“It was Remus. He wants to treat us to dinner tonight. I agreed since it's just a meal,” Barney replied.

“Remus?” Sophie wondered what the man was up to. She then urged, “Dr. Smith, I think we should play it safe. It's

advisable not to attend the dinner if it's not important.”

“Nothing will happen. Remus isn't a bad person.” Barney still trusted in the man.
