Chapter 188 Gaining Fans

“Okay, got it. Keep Clayton busy. Otherwise, he will just bother us if he has nothing to do.”

“All right,” replied Butterfly.

“Also, no need to change location. No one would dare disturb you,” added Sophie with a yawn.

“Phantom…” Butterfly knew how formidable Phantom was, but this matter was not that simple.

“Just trust me.” Holding her phone in one hand, Sophie pushed the bathroom door open with the other.

“I’m going to take a bath now, so I’ll hang up first. Tomorrow is the final exam.”

“Final exam?”

Realization dawned on Butterfly. Had Sophie not mentioned that, Butterfly would have forgotten she

was only an eighteen-year-old girl.

“Yeah. Don’t worry; no one would dare harm you.” Sophie was sure no one would have the guts to

mess with her people.

“All right, then.”

She’s right. Their target is Phantom, after all. Nobody has ever seen her in person, though, so even if

they find the Wings of Light’s headquarters, they can’t do anything.

By the time Sophie went to school, it was already half-past eight. Once Ysabelle spotted her, she

pounced on the latter. Had Sophie not reacted fast enough, she would have been knocked over.

“Sophie, if you have a fan club, I want to be the leader of it,” she expressed. Soph is too impressive.

She totally rocked that concert yesterday!

“What the hell? What did Sophie do to deserve a fan club? You’re out of your mind, Ysabelle.”

“Yeah, even if you want to be someone’s fan, at least idolize a beautiful young man like Tanner.”

“You are the ones out of your minds! What does me being someone’s fan have to do with you? Mind

your own business!” Ysabelle retorted, clearly discontented.

They don’t know who’s in front of them now. I wonder how they’d react if they found out the Tanner they

mentioned is the same Tanner in Sophie Tanner, but I guess Soph doesn’t want her identity to be

exposed.

“Besides, Sophie is just as amazing as that Tanner,” uttered Ysabelle proudly.

“How dare you say that? Do you know who our Tanner is? He’s The Wheelers’ drummer. Not only is he

tall, but he’s charming as well. That man is unmatched. It’s a shame we didn’t get to see his face. If I

could see what he looks like, I’d die in happiness,” stated the girl regretfully. She was clearly a big fan

of Tanner.

“Aren’t you being a little exaggerated? What about your Sunny? Haven’t you always worshiped him?

Why did you suddenly jump ships?”

“People change. As of now, I only have Tanner in my heart.”

Sophie would never have expected she would gain fans just by merely being a guest performer.

“You’re incredible, Sophie,” Ysabelle uttered in admiration. “If you decide to join the entertainment

industry, you have to bring me along, okay?”

Just then, Willow arrived.

As the others noticed her presence, a gloating look appeared on their faces. “Willow, haven’t you

always boasted about Mason being your fiancé? Now that he’s in the hospital, how could you go and

seduce another man?”

“Watch what you’re saying. What Willow does has nothing to do with you. What rights do you have to

talk to her like this?” defended one of Willow’s minions.

“Excuse me, I’m talking to Willow here. You don’t need to speak for her. Didn’t you say you loved him to

death, Willow? Now that he’s in the hospital, suddenly you don’t love him anymore? Your love is only

superficial. You’re disgusting.”

Blinking her doe eyes at the girl who spoke, Willow acted pitifully.

“I do love him, but I can’t do anything because the person he has always loved is Sophie. All I can do is

give up.”

There was no way she would mention her past with Mason because she did not want Clayton to learn

about it. Men like Clayton cared a lot about a woman’s past.

If he found out how much I loved Mason previously, I’d stand no chance.

“Really? I think you’re just avoiding Mason because he’s a cripple now.”

“Mason doesn’t deserve Willow, anyway. If you don’t abandon a half-hearted man like him, would you

rather keep him forever, then?”

They had witnessed how Mason treated Sophie, and to them, Willow leaving him was reasonable.

“Besides, Mason is nothing compared to Mr. Zales.”

“Mr. Zales? You mean the one from Zales Corporation? Stop pulling our legs. How would he even be

interested in Willow?”

Hearing that, Willow was immensely delighted.

Heh, it doesn’t sound believable, right? But it’s the truth.

“Yes, it’s him, and he’s the one who approached Willa first. You guys can go be jealous in the corner.”

Our Willow is just this outstanding.

“Really?” The other party still found it hard to believe.

“Yup, we’re trying to date now,” Willow confirmed, throwing a glance at Sophie smugly.

As long as I can be with Clayton, compared to me, Sophie doesn’t even amount to a speck of dust.

“How shameless. Clayton is nothing. Soph’s boyfriend is even more—”

“Ysabelle, stop,” Sophie interjected, for she found it useless to argue with Willow. “The exam is almost

starting. Let’s head in.”

In Jipsdale Premier High, the students’ seats during the examination were arranged according to their

grades, so Sophie, Willow, and Ysabelle were placed in the first examination hall.

“You’re such a marvelous person, Willow. Not only are you pretty, but you have good grades as well,

unlike a certain someone. If not for luck at that time, it would’ve been embarrassing for her. Now that

she’s in the first examination hall, let’s see how she’ll cheat.”

Even though Sophie had excellent grades the last time, people thought it was the result of her

cheating, as they did not believe she could do this well.

“Your jealousy is showing, girls. Trust me; even if Sophie doesn’t study for a week, she’ll still surpass all

of you,” uttered Ysabelle, not even bothering to conceal her proudness. There was no need to, anyway.

“Pfft, we know you’re merely bluffing. Do you know how strict the invigilation in the first examination hall

is? Also, phones are not allowed in this time, so somebody here is doomed.”

Not wanting to hear their nonsense any longer, Sophie pulled Ysabelle inside.

“See how guilty she looks, Willa? If she didn’t cheat and had gotten her good grades honestly, she

wouldn’t have escaped. If you do well this time, you’ll definitely crush that shameless girl.”

“Don’t talk like that. She’s my sister,” said Willow, putting on an act once more.

Grades mean nothing when I have Clayton by my side. Sophie will still lose to me either way.

Willow was so full of herself that during the examination, she was busy coming up with ways to get

Clayton to fall for her. When she snapped out of it, one and a half hours had already passed.

She did not have enough time to complete the essay.

Exiting the hall, Willow looked a bit absent-minded.

My god. I’m going to have bad grades. How will I face Mom when the time comes?
