“Clayton, we don’t need to be scared. If you like her, you can make her yours even if she is Mr. Tristan’s woman.”

Wilbur was, naturally, terrified of Tristan too.

After all, the mere mention of Tristan’s name was intimidating enough. There was no way he wouldn’t be scared of Tristan.

“Is that so?” Clayton glanced at his assistant. Is he trying to get me in trouble?

He continued, “It wouldn’t be a problem if she comes with us of her own free will, but do you think Mr. Tristan will let the matter slide if you force Sophie to come with us?” Why am I always surrounded by incompetent people? What a good-for-nothing.

Wilbur kept mum, not daring to say anything else.

I should just shut up. After all, we would suffer too if we make Mr. Zales upset.

However, unbeknownst to Clayton, those actions of his would once again bring him bad luck and keep him busy for a long while.

Sophie didn’t feel like dealing with the man face to face, but she had countless tricks up her sleeve to cause him misery behind his back.

Amusingly, Clayton still had no idea what was going on even when he was about to be tormented by Sophie. It was pathetic of him.

As they headed outside, Ysabelle grabbed Sophie’s arm. “Sophie, this man is way out of line. I can see that he has ill intentions. Should we tell Uncle Tristan about this?”

Clayton had a nasty reputation in Jipsdale. He would do anything in his power to get the things he wanted. Countless women had already suffered at his hands.

Ysabelle went on, “It’s evident that he’s targeting The Wheelers, and they’re going to release their new album soon. It would be hard for things to go smoothly if Clayton pulls the strings from behind.”

Since Uncle Tristan and Sophie are in a relationship now, it’s no big deal for her to ask for Uncle Tristan’s help, right?
