Chapter 363
Obviously, Clayton was enraged. F*ck! I’ve never been in such a pathetic state before. I’m an influential man in Jipsdale, but the fans had just humiliated me. The worst thing is that I can’t even take my revenge because there were too many of them. I don’t even know who threw the egg at me. I can’t possibly take revenge on everyone, can I?
“Clayton, this is all Sophie’s fault. Don’t worry. We’ll surely go after her,” Wilbur said.
Although they couldn’t find the fans, they could definitely find Sophie.
“Shut up! That’s enough. Don’t look for Sophie now. She’s the reason I’m in this mess,” Clayton ordered. I can’t afford to let things escalate further. Otherwise, I’m doomed. Those sly foxes in Zales Corporation hate me now. If this continues, I’m going to lose badly in the upcoming election.
“What? Are we just going to let Sophie get away with this?” Wilbur asked.
“I doubt Tristan will be interested in her for long. When they eventually break up, I’m going to teach her a lesson,” Clayton replied. She’s only acting arrogant because Tristan is backing her up.
“Yes. That’s right. It doesn’t take long for men to get sick of their women. I bet he’s just toying with her,” Wilbur agreed. Men are all the same, no?
With that, Wilbur passed some napkins to Clayton.
Right then, Wilbur received a phone call from the headquarters.
“Bad news, Clayton! They’re holding a shareholders’ meeting at the headquarters without informing us! What are they up to?” Wilbur didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
“What?” Clayton was in disbelief. I haven’t even settled my problems at hand, and yet, another problem arises!
“What should we do now, Clayton?”
“Let’s head back to the headquarters at this instant,” Clayton instructed. Are they kidding me? I’m the CEO. How can they hold a shareholders’ meeting without my presence?
“But Clayton, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to show up at the shareholders’ meeting in this state.”
“Sh*t! Let’s go back first. I need to get changed.”
“Clayton, do we have time for that?”
“What do you suggest we do, then?” Clayton asked. I can’t possibly show up at the shareholders’ meeting in my dirty clothes. I’ll become a laughingstock!
“Clayton, let’s just go to a mall nearby to buy some clothes. I don’t think you have time to take a shower now, so perhaps you can just wipe your body clean,” Wilbur answered. We don’t have much time to spare.
“Okay,” Clayton answered. Oh no, what else can I do?
Meanwhile, Tristan and Sophie brought Sunny to the hospital.
Up until then, Sunny still couldn’t believe what had happened that day.
“All right. That marks the end of the matter, so you can finally rest now. Return to the band soon,” Sophie uttered. He should be able to rest properly now, right?
“Sophie, I’m so satisfied with what happened today,” Sunny said. Finally, that arrogant man got the punishment he deserves.
“Yes.” Although Sophie knew how excited he was, she chose to respond calmly.
After all, it was only the beginning.
Her goal was to tear Clayton’s reputation into shreds.
“Rest well, okay? I have some things to attend to. I’ll go first,” Sophie said.
The university entrance exam was just around the corner, and her homeroom teacher was looking for her. Hence, she needed to go back to school.
Besides, she received a few phone calls from Victor prior to that, so she had to drop by Tanner Group.
In reality, she wasn’t much of a go-getter, and she just wanted to live a carefree life.
However, it seemed as though everyone had things for her to do.
In that case, she had no choice but to carry out those tasks one at a time.
“Okay. You may leave first. After all, you’ve been kept busy for the past few days. Go home and take a good rest. Don’t worry about me. Arius said my hand is fine.”
“If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call Mark,” Sophie said.
Sunny didn’t have any family in Jipsdale, so he only had a caregiver attending to his needs in the hospital.
It was also rather inconvenient for Sophie to take care of him.
“Don’t worry about me. Mark visits me every day. Besides, the hospital has everything I need. The caregiver is very attentive too!” Sunny replied. I can’t seem to do anything right. All I do every day is get into trouble, and others will have to help me clean up the mess I make. Frankly, I feel bad for them.
“Okay. I’ll head back first,” Sophie said.
Right then, Tristan went up to Sunny and tapped his shoulder. “Get well soon!” Tristan had always been a man of few words. He only said that because Sunny was Sophie’s friend.
Before leaving, Sophie went to the restroom.
When the men were left alone, Sunny said worryingly, “Mr. Tristan, I have to be honest with you. Although I’m very satisfied with what happened today, I’m still worried about Sophie.”
Ultimately, Clayton was a vile man. Since he had just suffered a setback, he was surely not going to let them off the hook so easily.
Hearing that, Tristan couldn’t help but laugh. “It appears you don’t know Sophie at all! At this moment, Sophie is capable of beating ten Claytons. Don’t worry, okay? Either way, she still has me. As long as I’m around, I won’t let anyone harm Sophie.”
Sunny heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those words. “Mr. Tristan, I know I haven’t been nice to you in the past. Now that I’ve heard those words, I think I can finally accept you as Sophie’s boyfriend,” he said. Mark likes Sophie a lot, but there’s nothing much he can do about it. After all, that’s just how relationships are. It’s between the two of them. As long as Sophie likes him, nothing else matters.
“It’s all right. Your acceptance changes nothing.”
“Must you respond that way? I’m trying my best to be friendly. Why must you say that in response?”
Tristan couldn’t help but burst out laughing when he saw Sunny’s angry expression. Actually, this boy is still very innocent.
Sophie was shocked when she returned and saw the two of them chatting away happily. What’s going on? Sunny never liked Tristan.
“Okay! Let’s go.” Tristan put his arm over Sophie’s shoulders and led her out of there.
“Why were you two so happy? What did you guys talk about?” she asked.
“Well, Sunny just accepted the fact that I’m your boyfriend!”
“Does his acceptance matter to you?”
“Of course! Why not? When a man likes a girl, he’ll surely hope to get approval from the people around her,” Tristan answered. If her friends don’t approve of me, wouldn’t she get influenced as well? Moreover, I don’t like people saying no to me.
“Okay, then!” Sophie replied. Who would’ve thought that he’s just like other men? Yet, I like it.
“By the way, Clayton should have his hands full after this. Just ignore him for now,” Tristan advised. She’s about to sit for the university entrance exam, so she needs to get ready for it, right?
“Also, have you decided where you want to go after the exam?” he asked. She should be good enough to go to any university she wants. However, as a senior, she still needs to focus on her studies.
