Chapter 351
“Let me go! What are you doing?” Willow was dragged outside by that girl. Even though she tried to break free, it was to no avail. Exasperated, she screamed, “Aren’t you going to help me, Sophie?”
The girl who dragged her out was speechless. Didn’t she come to give Sophie trouble? How can she still have the nerve to ask Sophie for help? How can she be so shameless?
Alas, Sophie did not even bother to spare Willow a glance. Someone like the latter was not worth her attention.
Besides, they were at school. Her classmates would not get physical with Willow.
It’s her fault for being annoying anyway! Serves her right to be punished like that.
“Soph, ignore her. Continue with your exercises. I’ll go out and take a look,” Ysabelle said, planning to head outside.
“It’s fine. You don’t have to go outside. Do some studying instead!” Sophie replied.
Ysabelle was at a loss for words.
Still, she could not object to studying when everyone else liked to put her under their supervision. After all, it was a fact that her grades were not as good as the others.
Saying nothing, she could only go and study.
Willow, who had been dragged outside by several girls from Senior Class 8, was besieged by them in the hallway.
As a good student with great popularity in school, it was her first time encountering such a situation.
“What are you planning to do? Touch me if you dare,” Willow warned.
A short-haired girl gave her a shove.
“I touched you. So what now?”
In an instant, tears rolled down Willow’s cheeks. There were so many of them, so she could not retaliate at all.
“Do you think that the students from Senior Class 8 are pushovers? You’re such a phony b*tch. I’m telling you, your act might work on others but not on me,” one of the girls taunted.
“That’s right! How dare you look down on us! Do you think you’re any nobler than us?” another chimed in.
We’re all students of Jipsdale Premier High. Does she think she can look down on people just because she has good grades?
At that time, several girls from Senior Class 1 passed by. When Willow saw them, it felt like she had seen her savior.
However, the girls walked past her as if they did not see her.
Willow was struck dumb.
What are they doing? Can’t they see that I’m being bullied? Since they’ve seen it, how can they sit on their hands?
“Um…” She then tried to call one of her classmates by her name but could not do so. As she was usually arrogant, she never remembered the names of many of her classmates even though they had been in the same class for three years.
“D*mn. You don’t even remember their names, yet you still have the guts to ask for help. How can you be so shameless!” one of the girls surrounding Willow snarled in disbelief.
Willow had studied with her classmates for three years, yet she could not even remember their names, which only served to prove there was a problem with her character.
In comparison, Sophie had only been in Senior Class 8 for less than half a year, but she could remember all her classmates’ names.
Even an outstanding person like Sophie was not as overbearing as Willow.
Embarrassment was written all over Willow’s face.
“What does it have anything to do with you? What do you want?” she asked angrily. What right do they have to speak ill of me here?
“It doesn’t. We just can’t stand it! I’m warning you—don’t come to Senior Class 8 anymore! Otherwise, I’ll beat you every time I see you!” one of the girls around Willow threatened.
With that, they went straight back to their classroom.
Deep down, Willow was highly displeased, but she could only head back to her classroom in resignation.
When school ended in the afternoon, she refused to give up, so she went to find Sophie again.
Seeing that Sophie had gone to the cafeteria with Ysabelle, she followed them.
Willow’s reappearance made Ysabelle click her tongue and ask Sophie, “Why do you think Willow is so persistent? What exactly does she want from you?”
“Clayton Zales,” the latter answered.
Willow had signed a contract with Clayton’s company.
Since Clayton’s Sky Media was in turmoil because of Sophie, he naturally wanted to negotiate with her.
Unfortunately for him, Sophie did not answer his calls.
Being no fool, Clayton thought of using Willow to get Sophie to talk to him. The whole situation was easy to understand.
“I see! I was puzzled as to when you and Willow got so close!” Sophie and Ysabelle bought their food and found a spot to sit.
Willow also sat at the same table after buying her food.
“Sophie, umm…”
Because Sophie did not even look up at her, Willow could not bring herself to say the things she wanted.
So many people were in the cafeteria, and she did not doubt that Sophie would give her the cold shoulder.
Willow began, “Mr. Zales wants to see you. I’m really doing it for your own good. After all, Mr. Zales is an influential man in Jipsdale. You can’t be so—”
Sophie raised her eyes to glance at her, which immediately shut the latter up.
The look in Sophie’s eyes made Willow shudder.
“Why do you have so much nonsense to say? My matters are none of your business! If you’re here to tell me this, you should tell Clayton that I’m going to make Sky Media mine!” Sophie declared.
Willow did not what to say for a moment.
She never thought that Sophie was so greedy that she actually wanted to own Sky Media.
“You’re crazy, Sophie!” Willow exclaimed.
Speechless, Sophie refuted in her mind that Willow was the crazy one. “Willow, shut up if you’re not good with words. You’re talking too much!” she retorted.
“Don’t be delusional, Sophie. Do you think Sky Media is something you can have if you want it?”
“I’ll acquire Sky Media. TS Entertainment doesn’t want you, so don’t even think of making your debut,” Sophie declared straightforwardly.
“Hah, Sophie, do you really think you’re so awesome? How delusional of you to think of acquiring Sky Media! Since you’re so vain, I’ll be waiting to watch you fail! Mark my words!”
Willow was no longer in the mood to eat her food, so she stood up to leave.
“Hold on!” Sophie called out.
When Willow heard that, she thought Sophie had changed her mind, which prompted her to stop in her tracks.
To her dismay, Sophie pointed at her tray.
“Take your tray away. Are you waiting for someone to clean it up for you?”
Tongue-tied, Willow wished she could pour the entire tray of food on Sophie’s head, but she dared not do so. With that, she had no choice but to take the tray with her in silence.
Standing inside Clayton’s ward, Willow conveyed Sophie’s words to him.
“Clayton, Sophie doesn’t know any better. But don’t worry! She’s not so capable,” Willow hurriedly added upon noticing the gloomy look on his face after she told him everything.
Clayton felt unsettled.
Willow must be a fool! Sophie has driven me into a corner, but she still thinks Sophie’s not that powerful! Is she blind or what?
“All right. You may leave now.” Clayton was displeased. What’s the use of having her around when she can’t even do such a small thing?
“Clayton, I have nothing else to do. Can I stay here to take care of you?” Willow asked.
“There’s no need for that. Someone will take care of me!” His voice became even harsher as he lost his patience.
“Ms. Tanner, you should go back first. Clayton is very busy; I’m sure you know that as well. That younger sister of yours is too annoying!” Wilbur immediately took Willow outside.
“What should we do now, Clayton?” Wilbur asked.
Sky Media’s stock was about to crash.
“Our company’s artistes are now requesting to terminate their contracts with us. I think we should give Sky Media up,” Willbur added. There was nothing they could do to salvage the situation by then.
“No, I can’t lose Sky Media.” Viciousness filled Clayton’s eyes. Does Sophie have a death wish?
