Anything For Her

Chapter 249 The Secret Of Sophie As soon as the call was connected, Arius’ anxious voice drifted out of the phone. “I heard that
you’re going to Horington?” Argh! Why is she just so disobedient? Why is she going to Horington out of the blue? That man is
already investigating Horington, yet she wants to go there? Isn’t she just offering herself up on a silver platter? “Yeah. What
about it? Is there a problem?” I’m just making a trip to Horington. Does he need to make such a huge fuss out of it? “Let me tell
you this solemnly, Sophie—that man never gave up looking for you.
You’d better behave. It’s pretty safe to remain by Mr. Tristan’s side,” Arius warned in exasperation. I know she’s fearless because
she’s highly capable, but this matter really isn’t that simple! “All right. Don’t bother about this matter anymore. Why are you
always concerning yourself with such trivial matters when you’re a good-looking young man?” Sophie grew impatient. This is
nothing, so why is he all frantic? “What? I’m serious, Sophie! Anything that has to do with your safety is no trivial matter. Listen to
me!” Gah! She never changes, forever carefree and nonchalant! This simply won’t do! “That’s enough. I’m going to enter the
train station, so we’ll talk another time. Just worry about yourself.” Not in the mood to yak with him further, Sophie hung up
directly. In fact, she outright turned off her phone to avoid having him continue hounding her.
Arius, on the other hand, phoned Sophie again. When he heard the familiar female mechanical voice telling him that the number
he had dialed was temporarily unavailable, the urge to seize Sophie and skin her alive gripped him. Why is she just
so worrisome? Does she not know the gravity of this matter? Meanwhile, the man who had been looking for Sophie immediately
set out from Anglandur after receiving news that she was in Horington. “Are you really going personally, Boss?” his assistant
inquired hesitantly before he departed. “Yes.” How could I possibly not go when I’ve finally gotten news of Sophie? “This time, I’ll
definitely capture her myself!” After I’ve done so, she can never leave again! I’ll never give her the chance to do so! “But Boss,
it’s too dangerous for you to go to Chanaea right now.” Many people in Chanaea wanted to take his life, so it was undoubtedly
irrational for him to go back. “I can’t be bothered about that anymore.”
As long as it was something to do with Sophie, he could never remain calm. “Boss!” “Okay, that’s enough. There’s no use trying
to dissuade me further. The plane is taking off soon!” Since the man was secretly returning to the country, he didn’t make a grand
affair of things by using his private jet. Instead, he took a commercial plane like everyone else. At the same time, Sophie had
already boarded the train. She bought a premier-class seat, so it was exceedingly spacious. After getting onto the train, she took
out her phone and started handling some of Wings of Light’s matters without noticing that the person sitting beside her was a
man she hadn’t seen for some time—Eustace. Only when she had finally snapped out of her thoughts did she realize that it was
Eustace beside her. Behind them sat Danny and a few SWAT team members. Seeing that she had finally finished her work,
Danny exclaimed excitedly,

“I didn’t expect to meet you here, Sophie!” They were pretty close as Danny sought Sophie’s help the instant the SWAT team
encountered any problems. For that reason, Danny was particularly enthusiastic to see Sophie. Faced with that bright smile on
his juvenile face, Sophie merely replied curtly, “Indeed, it’s quite the coincidence.” “All right, sit down,” Eustace said to Danny,
who was standing up. Danny sat back down, but he still wanted to talk to Sophie. “Where are you going, Sophie? Horington?”
They were heading to Horington as well, and he had heard that she used to study there. “Yeah.” “In that case, let’s have lunch
together after we arrive in Horington!” Danny suggested earnestly. “I’m going there on business, so I might not be able to have
lunch with you all.” “Zip it, Danny! Captain Sheppard is upset!” Can’t he be more tactful when Captain Sheppard has finally
gotten to meet her? How could Captain Sheppard have an opportunity if he’s yapping away here? Finally, Danny realized that his
captain was looking rather grim. He instantly made a zipping motion across his mouth and went silent. At the sight of that, the
middle-aged man beside him couldn’t help chortling. Young people nowadays are really something else. But Captain Sheppard is
almost thirty years old now, so it’s time he gets himself a girlfriend when he’s such an outstanding young man. Sophie is indeed
pretty good. Besides, they’re somewhat bound by fate since they boarded the same train and bought adjacent seats. Isn’t this
destiny?
In truth, Sophie and Eustace overheard every single word of the conversation behind them. Nonetheless, neither of them were
perturbed by it. Eustace stole a peek at Sophie beside him. By then, she had already turned off her laptop. She didn’t seem as
though she was inclined to start a conversation either, acting even more aloof than him. In the end, he was still the one to break
the silence. “Is something the matter that you’re going to Horington? Just say the word if you need any help. We’re also going to
Horington this time.” Although we’re going in an official capacity this time, she has helped me several times, so I’ll certainly help
her without hesitation if she really needed it. “It’s okay. I don’t have anything that requires your help when I’m only a high
schooler, Captain Sheppard.” Words eluded Eustace. That’s true. I generally deal with major cases involving murder and
smuggling, so it’s indeed inauspicious to require my help. “That wasn’t what I meant.” For the very first time, he felt embarrassed.
“Captain Sheppard, you’re meant for great things, so go ahead with your work.
There’s no need to bother about me.” Sophie wore a faint smile on her face. In response, Eustace nodded. He had always had
the golden touch, never once failing at anything he did. However, he had one weakness—he really didn’t know how to interact
with girls. It was a two-hour train ride. Throughout it all, neither of them said anything. Sophie was busy on her laptop while
Eustace alternated his gaze out the window and at her. She seems to have a lot of secrets, but I couldn’t find anything about her.
When someone existed, there must be some information on the person. However, Sophie’s background was too easily available.
As such, it appears rather fake. Her computer skills were better than his technicians, and she could even defuse bombs. Thus,
he couldn’t help being curious about her. When the train pulled into the station, Sophie put her ultra-thin laptop into her
backpack. Shouldering it, she walked out with everyone else. While alighting from the train, Eustace followed closely behind her
and didn’t allow anyone to jostle her. On the whole, he was really gentlemanly.
