Chapter 452

That’s true. Sophie wouldn’t take ten years to earn a Ph.D.

Tristan smiled as he realized how foolish he was.

How did I forget that she’s a genius?

Meanwhile, Clayton brought Willow to Nocturnal again. He didn’t even bother to check if she had

recovered since he was desperate.

Lately, many things were becoming unfavorable for him.

His reputation would be ruined if this continued.

It was not easy for Clayton to attain his current status. He would do anything to maintain his reputation.

Willow followed behind Clayton and no longer knew what to say to him. Now, the only thing on

Clayton’s mind was to meet Sophie.

What he didn’t know was that Sophie was ignoring him on purpose.

Therefore, it was pointless for them to come to the bar.

“Clayton, must you meet Sophie?”

Hearing that, Clayton stopped in his tracks.

“Willow, didn’t I ask you to be on good terms with Sophie? You didn’t do as I asked, did you?”

Things wouldn’t have gotten to this point if she did as I asked. Sophie is not going to go easy on me at

all.

“I did, Clayton. It’s just that Sophie never likes me from the start.”

Hearing that made Willow felt wronged.

She swallowed her pride only to help Clayton. But in the end, he reprimanded her.

“There’s nothing I can do anymore, Clayton. I’ll wait for you here. You should go in by yourself.”

Willow refused to enter the bar.

She felt embarrassed to see Sophie. It was embarrassing for her to ask for favors from someone she

hated.

Hearing that, Clayton grabbed her hand immediately.

“How can I possibly go in alone? Hey, don’t throw tantrums. I don’t like girls who do that.”

As he spoke, he pulled Willow into the bar.

Ysabelle and Sophie were discussing the former’s new song when the two came in. It was Ysabelle

who noticed Clayton and Willow first.

“Your sister and brother-in-law are here.”

How can someone be so shameless? Can they stop this?

Sophie did not even look up at them.

“What do you mean? I don’t have a brother-in-law.”

That jerk, Clayton, has nothing to do with me.

Ysabelle stuck out her tongue, then said, “All right. I shouldn’t have said that.”

Naturally, Tristan and the rest saw Clayton and Willow. Arius couldn’t help but laugh. “These two look

perfect for each other.”

“I agree!”

Willow had never thought of Sophie as a sister.

There’s no need to sympathize with her. She is the one who allows others to exploit her willingly.

“Clayton must feel extremely anxious now. Watch out just in case he resorts to using extreme

methods,” Sean reminded Tristan. Prevention was always better than cure.

“Okay.”

Tristan wasn’t worried for himself, but he was worried about Sophie’s safety.

“I’ve already asked someone to guard Sophie. Don’t worry.”

“Darn it, if he dares to harm Sophie, I’ll kill him,” Arius said ruthlessly.

He wouldn’t allow anyone to harm Sophie.

“Just ignore them.”

Tristan decided to let Clayton be for another few days.

This time, it would be the end of Clayton.

Clayton and Willow sat on the side. However, it was difficult for Clayton to approach them, seeing how

the group ignored him.

Tristan would not bother to spare his dignity.

Thus, he would only be humiliated if he approached them now.

Meanwhile, Willow glanced at Sophie.

Everyone around Sophie was exceptionally remarkable. This made Willow envious of her.

What did she do to deserve all this?

Willow had never considered herself lesser than Sophie.

However, the treatment that Sophie got was enough to make Willow lose it.

Even so, there was nothing she could do now but watch Sophie shine.

It was a terrible feeling.

“Come on, let’s head back.”

Sophie got tired after staying at Nocturnal for a long time.

“Okay.”

Arius and the rest got up after knowing the two were leaving. The group walked past Clayton and

Willow when they were exiting the bar.

Nonetheless, nobody greeted Clayton.

The two of them were nothing to them.

After Clayton saw them leave, he started to drink faster.

He had never been so afraid before. But now, he was terrified.

Sophie told him she would make sure he was sent to prison.

Knowing how unsparing Sophie was, she would definitely do whatever she said. Moreover, she had

Tristan covering for her.

Clayton didn’t want to go to jail.

He felt his life would be over once he was imprisoned.

Willow got scared after she saw Clayton drinking heavily.

She didn’t even dare to make a sound.

At that moment, Clayton’s face turned grim to the point that it was frightening. Willow never truly

understood Clayton.

“Clayton, let’s annul our engagement if you don’t like me.” Willow felt something was off.

If Tristan plans to destroy Clayton, it will be impossible for him to make a comeback.

She would look silly if she still hang on to him.

Clayton burst into laughter after hearing that.

“Clayton, I know you don’t like me. If so, why don’t we call off our engagement? I’m still young. I think

it’s too early for me to get married.”

Willow was filled with regrets and was afraid.

She never thought Clayton would be such a scary man.

Suddenly, Clayton grabbed Willow by the hair and pulled her toward him.

“What did you say? Who do you take me for, Willow? Do you think I’ll cancel our engagement because

you say so? Do you think your words are that important?”

Willow felt her scalp hurt since Clayton exerted his strength.

With tears welling in her eyes, Willow said, “I’m sorry, Clayton. I shouldn’t have said that. Please forgive

me and let me go.”

It must be true that Clayton’s life will be over soon.

“Dream on, Willow. Let me tell you something. Even if my life is over, I’ll drag you down with me.” He

would not be kind enough to let her go.

Willow was filled with despair when she heard that.

This man in front of her was a demon.

While she naively thought that he could bring her happiness.

Willow’s tears angered Clayton. So, he gave her a tight slap across her face.

“Stop crying. I’m not dead yet. You’re pissing me off!”

His slap was so powerful that the corner of Willow’s mouth was bleeding.

There were many people at Nocturnal, but nobody stepped up for Willow. In Jipsdale, Clayton was a

terrifying existence.

Thus, nobody dared to come forward.

Clayton was not ready to give up, so he went to TS Entertainment to see Sophie the next day.

He waited for Sophie outside TS Entertainment’s building for over two hours. When he saw her coming

out, he quickly went to stop her.

“Sophie, I’ll do whatever you want. Let’s talk.”

Things had been a torment for Clayton lately. He felt his life would really be over if it continued.

Sophie frowned upon hearing that.

“Get out of my way!”

What’s there to talk about between us?
