Chapter 346

“I know, I know. I promise not to scare you like this in the future. Is that enough?” Sophie was exasperated as she did not do it on purpose.

She merely thought Clayton was a nobody and went to solve the problem herself.

On the other hand, Tristan was completely speechless about what had happened.

Forget it. I can do nothing about her anyway.

Even though TS Entertainment had done an excellent job managing public relations, he knew it was not enough for Sophie. The matter was not over yet, as Clayton had attacked Sunny. “So what are you going to do now?”

“I’ll take my time and play with him, making him suffer physically and mentally.” Sophie thought it would be boring to take Clayton down instantly. To her, it was always better to take things slowly at such a critical moment.

She was not in a hurry anyway.

“As long as you’re happy with it.” Tristan would deal with Clayton once Sophie had had enough.

He could never forgive Clayton for trying to make a move on Sophie.

In the afternoon, Sophie had to return to school because of some commitments.

As soon as Ysabelle saw her, she asked, “Sophie, how’s Sunny doing?”

“Don’t worry. He’s fine.” The girls chatted as they strolled. Suddenly, Willow appeared and blocked their way.

Ysabelle rolled her eyes when she saw Willow.

This girl is so annoying! Both of us don’t want to have anything to do with her, yet she still keeps showing up and challenging the limit of our patience.

“Sophie Tanner! You have a death wish, don’t you? Even if you have one, please don’t drag the Tanner family into your mess. Don’t you know what kind of person Clayton is? How dare you beat him up like that? Can you bear the responsibility if he retaliates against the Tanner family?” Willow was boiling with anger. Unfortunately, she was no match for Sophie. If she could defeat Sophie, she would have beaten Sophie to death to stop her from dragging their family into the mess.

“I know what I’ve done. There’s no need for you to lecture me here.” Sophie was not courteous toward her in the slightest.

“You…” Willow was so enraged that she was trembling from head to toe.

“You’ve messed up big time, Sophie. There’s no way the Zales family will let you off. Do you really think Mr. Tristan would turn his back on Clayton because of you?” In truth, Willow was delighted to see Clayton being in such a sorry state because of Sophie.

When she thought Sophie would be in deep trouble and she herself would be the only center of attention in the Tanner family, she was secretly happy.

Seeing Willow like that made Sophie sneer, “You wish to see me in deep trouble, huh?”

Willow was rendered speechless.

She didn’t expect Sophie to say the words she had in mind aloud.

“How could you think of me that way, Sophie! Did you say that out of sheer malevolence? I never thought of it that way. I only hope you won’t get me involved in your matter.” Of course, Willow would never admit it.

“Malevolence? Aren’t you the most malevolent person in this world?” Ysabelle felt as if she had heard the world’s greatest joke.

Words eluded Willow.

“Ysabelle, why are you so shameless? You follow Sophie all day long, so you better be careful and not get into deep trouble like her,” Willow cursed.

“Well, I don’t know if I’ll get into deep trouble, but I can tell that you are getting into trouble right now.”

Ysabelle stepped forward and grabbed Willow’s arm. “Do you want us to whack you to stop you from getting our attention daily?”

“You little…” Willow glanced at Sophie. She did not dare to make a move with her around. “Let me go, Ysabelle.”

“Get lost.” Ysabelle gave Willow a shove as she spoke. Does she think a person like her can be popular?

Although discomfort boiled within Willow, she knew that Ysabelle was not someone she could trifle with.

“Just you wait, Sophie. You will definitely get yourself into trouble sooner or later.” She fled the scene as soon as her words fell.

“Sophie, Willow is really…” Ysabelle was at a loss for words to describe Willow.

In short, she thought the girl was disgusting.

“Just ignore her.”

Sophie had never considered Willow as a rival. Thus, she never gave a hoot about what Willow did.

“Hmph! I wonder what she is so smug about. She doesn’t even know where she stands,” Ysabelle couldn’t help but comment.

After the third lesson in the afternoon, Ysabelle, knowing that Sophie would visit Sunny, immediately said she wished to tag along.

“Soph, let’s go together!” She thought it was boring for her to stay at school alone for the evening self-

study session.

“You’d better not go. Now is the critical period of senior year. You won’t be able to get into Jipsdale University if you don’t improve your grades now.”

Ysabelle was rendered speechless.

She wanted to follow Sophie, but what the latter said was true.

“Will you shun me if I fail to get into Jipsdale University?”

“I won’t. But it may be a little hard for you to step into the entertainment industry by then.”

“Fine! I’ll stay back and continue the evening self-study session, then.” Ysabelle puffed her cheeks.

“Forget about it. Don’t worry. Even if you fail to get into Jipsdale University, I will still find a way to make your father agree to it.”

Ysabelle wrapped her arms around Sophie’s neck upon hearing that.

“You’re indeed my benefactor, Sophie.” Ysabelle grinned. “The person I like the most in this world is you!”

It did not matter to her whether she got into Jipsdale University.

She was happy as long as she was able to be with Sophie.

When the girls walked out, Tristan was already waiting for them outside. He couldn’t help but frown when he saw Ysabelle beside Sophie.

“Ysabelle, you’re being too lax lately,” said Tristan disapprovingly. Although he agreed to let her enter the entertainment industry, her father had yet to consent.

Ysabelle’s father has not agreed to it, so how can she become so self-indulgent? This isn’t good.

“Uncle Tristan, I want to visit Sunny too. Don’t worry—this is the last time. I promise I’ll never skip class again,” Ysabelle promised. Is this enough?

“All right. Stop lecturing her. I’m the one who agreed to take her along. Skipping one evening self-study session won’t affect anything anyway.” Sophie spoke up for Ysabelle.

Hearing that, Ysabelle immediately gave Sophie a grateful look.

Uncle Tristan won’t do anything to me as long as Sophie is here.

“All right.” Sure enough, Tristan did not say anything else. As Ysabelle expected, he would do anything Sophie said.

When they arrived at the ward, several members of The Wheelers were already there. Seeing them like that somehow made Sophie feel bad.

“I’m sorry for failing to protect you guys.”

“Sophie, what are you talking about? I was the one who asked for it. It had nothing to do with you, and I didn’t want to get you involved either.” Sunny was mad back then. That was why he lost his mind and went to Clayton. “I never expect Clayton to be so good at fistfights, though.”

Mark did not say anything. After all, Sunny had yet to know Sophie had already beaten Clayton up as severely as Sunny.

“What should we do now? TS Entertainment has done a great job with its public relations. We’re trending right now, but there’s no way for Sunny to be on shows looking like this.”

No matter how cool and distant the artists were, they still had to make appearances for publicity when their albums were released. However, they could not do so at the moment.
