Pursuing Her

“Clayton, it's not that we don't want to give it our best but we're going up against Sean!”

Everyone in the legal industry knew about Sean, and he had won every case of his.

In the face of such an opponent, it didn't matter how many lawyers they had.

“What? You guys are a bunch of incompetent trash!” Clayton roared.

Tristan then brought Sophie in. True enough, Sean was already inside. When they went in, he was organizing his documents.

Sunny was also there.

Although his injury had almost healed, he remained hospitalized because of his hand.

Sophie approached Sean and uttered politely, “Thank you, Sean.”

Sean stopped what he was doing and lifted his gaze toward Sophie. “No worries! It's just a small case.”

Indeed, it was a simple case for him.

“Good luck!” Tristan patted Sean on the shoulder.

In response, Sean looked at him in bafflement. What is he doing? I didn't even see him acting this way when I was working on the major lawsuit for Lombard Group back then.

“Thank you, Sophie.” Sunny was incredibly grateful to Sophie for everything she was doing for him. “Actually, I...”

“Sunny, don't worry about it. No one can bully anyone close to me. So what if the bully is Clayton?” Sophie responded.

In fact, even if they were to come up against Nicholas, she would still make him pay.

Shortly after, the trial began.

There really wasn't much suspense in the lawsuit. As a result, the trial ended within an hour.

Clayton was said to have beaten up the other party, and the judge delivered the verdict accordingly.

He was guilty of assault by beating!

He was even ordered to compensate Sunny.

However, Sunny only demanded that Clayton pay him a nominal sum. Due to how everything played out, Sunny ended up on the list of trending searches on the internet. On the other hand, Clayton became the joke of Jipsdale.

Besides, Clayton was ordered to apologize to Sunny by issuing a public apology.

Needless to say, Sophie was satisfied with the outcome.

When they exited the court, there were reporters all over the place. As expected, they went after Sunny for interviews the moment they saw him.

One reporter asked, “Sunny, why did you only want him to pay you a nominal sum? You were hospitalized for quite a while! You should've demanded more from him!”

“What I want isn't money. Instead, I wanted justice!” Sunny smiled.

His smile was filled with warmth.

Prior to that, Sunny never smiled much, so that was the first time the reporters had seen him smile.

“That's right! Clayton is really despicable! How dare he beat you up so badly!” The Wheelers' fans had gathered there when they heard about the outcome of the lawsuit.

At that moment, a lot of people at the scene were cheering Sunny's name.

Sunny saw them and halted in his tracks to greet them. “Hi! Go home, everyone! This matter is finally over. I promise everyone I won't be as impulsive anymore in the future! I'm terribly sorry for the fact that everyone had to worry about me!” With that, he bowed and apologized.

Hearing those words, countless fans were sobbing at the scene. How is our idol so thoughtful and mature when he's only nineteen? This is all Clayton's fault!

“We love you, Sunny!” the fans shouted.

“Don't worry, Sunny! This is only the beginning. From now on, The Wheelers' fans will boycott Zales Corporation.”

Sunny bowed again and said, “Thank you for the love you've shown me, everyone. I won't let you guys down.” He bowed once more before putting on his face mask and getting into the car with the security's help.

Seeing that Sunny had left, the reporters approached Sophie to interview her.

“Ms. Tanner, you've gotten justice for Sunny this time around. Are you satisfied with how everything played out?”

Right when all the reporters thought Sophie wasn't going to answer the question, she paused in her tracks, turned toward the camera, and said into the microphone, “I was merely seeking justice on behalf of Sunny! Also, I'm sure everyone here knows what's right and what's not. From now on, I hope that Mr. Zales would leave all the artists from TS Entertainment alone! I don't wish to see any of my artists getting harmed!”

Upon hearing how protective she was of the members of The Wheelers, The Wheelers' fans started chanting her name as well.

After all, the eighteen-year-old girl had just defended their idol's dignity.

If not for her, none of them would've known about what happened.

“Sophie! Sophie! Sophie!” the fans chanted.

Clayton came out of the court and felt utterly helpless when he saw how everything had turned out.

At that moment, he just wanted to leave silently.

However, the reporters quickly went up to him and surrounded him when they saw him coming out. Naturally, they wanted to interview him, too.

“Mr. Zales, what do you think about how things have turned out? Will you still give the members of The Wheelers a hard time in the future?”
