Pursuing Her Chapter 143

Chapter 144 He Is Not Worth My TimeLorelei began to panic when she saw Clayton walking toward

them, for she knew he disliked how she always caused a scene in public. The fact that Lorelei got so

much attention did not help with the situation she was in either.”What's going on? Didn't I ask you

to wait for me here? How did it end up like this?” With so many people surrounding them, Clayton

realized that keeping a low profile was no longer an option.“Clayton, I didn't do it on purpose. We're

only arguing because she secretly took photos of me. Now she’s pulling my hair and refusing to let

me go,” explained Lorelei pitifully.”Are you guys seeing this? It's really Clayton! I knew he and Lorelei

had a thing going on. Do you believe me now?"“It is him! I didn't trust the media before because

they didn't have solid proof. Gosh, I can't believe what I'm seeing now! Clayton is a tycoon in the

entertainment industry, and being with the man probably means a bright future awaiting

Lorelei.”"You're right. If you ask me, the two are a match made in heaven!“Lorelei was more than

glad when she heard the discussion. I knew it! Clayton and I are meant for each other, and

everybody seems to think so too.At that moment, Clayton could not help noticing how Sophie had

raised her eyebrow when she looked at others. Even though the young woman did not do it

deliberately, it was hard for anyone to ignore it When Lorelei caught Clayton looking at Sophie, she

quickly grabbed the man’s hand.”What are you looking at?” questioned Lorelei jealously.”Missy, did

you really take pictures of Lorelei? If so, delete them, and we'll call it even.” Although Clayton

thought Sophie was outstandingly good-looking, he had better things to do and would rather not

waste more of his time."What makes you think I want to call it even? Ms. Crawford here not only

slandered me but also broke my phone, so I believe you two owe me an explanation.”"How would

you like to be compensated then? With a new phone?” inquired Clayton nonchalantly."Not just that.

I want an apology from Ms. Crawford. Everybody here heard how she accused me of secretly taking

photos of her. Then, I must still have the pictures on my phone. If that's not the case, it's only right

that she apologizes to me, no?"After listening to Sophie, Clayton immediately became more

interested in the young lady. It looks like she’s not the kind who'd go down without a fight."What

are you going on about? You're just trying to hook up with Clayton because he’s rich and

handsome. Trust me. You're not the first to try.” Lorelei despised Sophie because she thought she

had the young woman all figured out.Sophie instinctively frowned at Lorelei after hearing that. Are

all female artists this insufferable these days? Does she seriously think every woman in the world is

out to steal her boyfriend? It's not like he’s the most attractive man on earth.”l think Lorelei is right.

This young woman is obviously trying to hook up with Clayton because of how rich and handsome

he is.”“Are all young women this desperate these days?"“If that's the case, I'd say this young woman

is a pretty crafty one. She knew she'd be able to find Clayton by stalking Lorelei. That's really

scary!”“Women these days are all the same. They'll gladly spread their legs in bed as long as the

other party is rich enough."The crowd's discussion only served to boost Lorelei's confidence. It

seems I'm not the only one who thinks that way. Everybody here agrees with me.”I'm tired, Clayton.

Let's leave,” pleaded Lorelei with puppy-dog eyes because she would rather not give anyone a

chance to get close to Clayton."How can we leave when we haven't resolved this matter yet?”

questioned Clayton rhetorically with his eyes still fixed on Sophie.”Come on, Clayton.” Lorelei started

to get nervous again. Why is he even listening to a stranger? Has he fallen for her?Clayton went

over to pick up the phone from the ground and intended to check if photos of Lorelei were on it.

However, he could not turn on the device since it was already broken.Clayton shrugged helplessly

before saying, “I'm not sure how we're going to prove your innocence since there's no way to turn

on the phone. What do you say we call it even?"Then, Sophie approached the man to take her

phone, and as he said, the device was no longer working.Seeing how things had come to that,

Lorelei was relieved. She has no choice but to accept her fate now. “As I said, I'm not pressing

charges, so we're done here. Let's go, Clayton. It's freezing out here.”* That's why Lorelei's so

popular. What a forgiving person she is!"“That's true. The young woman is obviously at fault here,

yet she had the audacity to raise her voice.”"Do you guys think she’s trying to gain attention by

causing a scene just because she knows she’s pretty? After all, Lorelei is a celebrity who has the

attention of countless people. She probably knew she was bound to be noticed if she got Lorelei

involved.” That has to be it. Who does this young woman think she is to bully Lorelei!"“Forget about

it, Clayton. She's just a young woman, after all. Let's put this behind us.” Lorelei thought she did a

pretty good job portraying herself as a forgiving person.”What a hypocrite!” cursed Sophie, which

was not something she would do lightly."How dare you..." Lorelei did not expect Sophie to call her

that. She wanted to retaliate, but since the crowd was still around, she decided to swallow her

words. Lorelei then gave Clayton a pitiful look before turning back to Sophie. “I know you think

Clayton's incredibly attractive, but you can't keep harassing us like this. I'm the one he loves, so I'm

afraid you'll have to find someone else.”"When Lorelei finished speaking, she turned to look at

Clayton. She was delighted that the man did not disagree with her. Even though he doesn't say it,

I'm sure he loves me. Otherwise, he would've corrected me."What makes you think I have any

interest in him? He's not even worthy of my time.”“You can't be serious. Don’t you know who he is?

Just ask anybody here, and I bet they'll have no trouble telling you his name.” Lorelei was confident

that everyone in Jipsdale knew who Clayton was.Immediately, the crowd began discussing among

themselves again. They thought Sophie was shameless and could not believe that she did not know

Clayton. The man is mentioned in the newspaper more frequently than any artist!At that moment,

Tristan finally drove over and saw the crowd surrounding Sophie. After parking his car by the

roadside, he approached the scene.
