Anything For Her

Chapter 815 A Lesson

Just when the few troublemakers wanted to leave quietly, they were stopped by the captain of the special forces.

Looking helpless, he questioned, “Where do you think you're going? I'll have you know that the person you've

offended was invited by the president personally.”

As expected, the president, Marcus Analheim, soon arrived at the International Medical Association. After learning

the whole story, his expression fell. “Where's Barney? Did he leave as well?”

“Dr. Smith is still in the lab. He has no idea what happened.”

To that, Marcus said, “Let's go! We going to see Dr. Smith.”

The entire country is in a mess, and I just managed to get someone here to handle it, only to have these few

b*stards piss them off.

Barney was still in the lab doing his research when Marcus arrived. It wasn't until half an hour later that he came

out and saw that the president was there.

Before Barney could say anything, Marcus started, “I'm sorry, Dr. Smith. I've failed to keep an eye on my

subordinates and caused all this to happen.”

Barney was stunned to hear that. “What happened?”

Marcus replied, “Arius and Sophie have both left in anger. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to help appease them.”

The only reason I invited Sophie here is that I know how good she is, and I need her expertise. And yet, something

like this had to happen.

Barney inquired, “What actually happened?” I would need to know what happened first in order to help!

Soon, Marcus explained the situation again.

Barney's expression turned grim after he got the whole story. “We came here because you invited us, and we've

been doing our best ever since we got here. Alas, this is the treatment we got?”

I was the one who brought them here, and now, they've been wronged while the president is here apologizing

profusely.

Marcus said, “Dr. Smith, it is indeed our fault this time. How about this? I'll take those troublemakers over personally

to apologize to them.”

Chanaeans have always been the most patriotic, and they won't allow anyone to insult their country like this.

“All right. I'll go over and take a look at what the situation is, but I can't guarantee how it will turn out,” came

Barney's reply.

Sophie has quite the personality and has her own principles to live by.

Meanwhile, when Sophie and Arius returned to the hotel and saw Tristan's face, Arius couldn't help but burst out

laughing.

Trying his best to rein in his laughter but failing at it, he asked, “Mr. Tristan, what did you do? How did you get

beaten up like this?”

Tristan didn't expect that his sorry state would be seen by Arius. “Don't ask questions you're not supposed to. Don't

you know that curiosity killed the cat?”

“Are you seeing this, Sophie? I was just concerned about him, but he's acting so hostile toward me.”

Sophie muttered, “That's enough. Haven't you been tired these past few days? Why don't you go back to your room

and rest?” She reckoned there was no rush to head back, and they would discuss the matter once they were well-

rested.

It was only then that Tristan realized something was off.

“What happened? Didn't you just go to the International Medical Association? Why are you back so soon? Were you

bullied?” Tristan inquired.

At the thought of someone giving his woman a hard time, a grim look spread across his face.

“I just met some trash who said some very unpleasant things,” came Sophie's reply. We came here to help, not to

be insulted.

Tristan growled, “Who was it? Let me teach them a lesson!”

Whoever it was that upset her should get a good thrashing.

“No need. I'm tired. Will you take a break with me for a while?” Sophie said before holding his hand.

Tristan fell silent.

I'd be more than happy to accompany her. It doesn't matter what her request is because I'll grant it.

With that thought in mind, he scooped Sophie into his arms and walked toward the bed before placing her down.

After getting into the bed, he pulled her into his embrace.

He then probed, “Can you tell me what happened?”

Sophie has never been a wilful person. Someone must have made her like this.

In response, Sophie explained, “I just met some eyesores, that's all, so I wanted to come back and rest.” We gave

our best to help others, so there is no way we would stand for them slandering Chanaea.

“All right. Go to sleep, then. I'll be right by your side.”

Sophie snuggled closer to him and leaned against his arm. “You should get some shut-eye too. I know you've been

trying hard to find Butterfly these past few days, and that must have taken a toll on you.”

Nicholas is different from other men. He won't be so easy to deal with.

“Got it,” was Tristan's response.

While Tristan and Sophie fell asleep, Arius, too, had gone back to his room. He was beyond exhausted.

He fell asleep as soon as he got to bed. As such, he missed the countless calls that Barney had given him.

When he opened his eyes again, two hours had passed, and he felt refreshed from the nap he had.

It wasn't after he fumbled for his phone and looked at it that he noticed there were so many missed calls.

The calls are all from Dr. Smith. I didn't tell him anything because I didn't want to put him in a difficult position, but I

guess he still found out about it, huh?

Arius returned Barney's call immediately. “Dr. Smith, I fell asleep earlier, so I missed your calls.”

“Well, I'm in the lobby of the hotel now. The president's here as well, so you guys should come down. There's been

a bit of a misunderstanding, so let's clear them.”

“There's no misunderstanding. Since they say we're spies, just treat us as spies, then.”

Not like it would make much of a difference to us, anyway. Plus, there's nothing to be scared of.

Barney implored, “Arius, do this for me, won't you? We're in a dire situation right now, and this is not the time for

childish tantrums.” This is a matter of life and death. We can't have a delay because of a few people.

“Dr. Smith, I'm not throwing a temper tantrum. I just can't help getting mad. Ever since I got here, I've been

working day in and day out. And what's the result of my hard work? Not only do I not get any thanks—which I don't

mind since I'm not a hypocrite anyway—but I'm getting scolded. I'm not that good-natured of a person to let this all

slide,” Arius explained.

We're humans, and every human have their own temper.

“Just come down first, won't you? It's hard to say everything clearly on the phone.” Knowing the temper Arius had,

Barney could only get the former to come to the lobby first.

At that, Arius said, “All right. I'll be right down after I take a shower. I haven't taken a shower since I got here.”

He was feeling icky and uncomfortable all over.

“Okay.” Barney was aware that Arius was having an outburst right then and had no choice but to let the latter do

whatever he wanted.

When Marcus saw how Barney looked making the call, he knew the matter wouldn't be so easy to handle. “Dr.

Smith, this is all the fault of these people here, and you can rest assured that I will give you all an explanation.”

I spent so much effort inviting them here, only for something like this to happen. It's only natural that I take

responsibility for solving this.

“All right.” Barney was infuriated by the whole fiasco as well. After all, he was so busy that he didn't have time to

sleep, and now, he had to handle the problems those ruffians caused.

“Mr. President, we really are—” The few Anglandurans wanted to say something but were cut off when Marcus

signaled his men to seal their mouths shut with tape. He didn't want to hear a word from them.
