“Don't worry. I've already figured out how to deal with this issue,” Sophie answered. It's just an
engagement. She'll never be able to marry Clayton in the end.
“In my opinion, Willow isn't a good person. Since she wants to be with Clayton so badly, we should just
let her be. Clayton will deal with her!” Felix uttered bluntly.
Ysabelle nodded, concurring, “That's true. Willow is such a bad person! We should just leave her to her
fate.”
Even if we were to help her, it's not like she would be appreciative. It's completely unnecessary for us
to make a move.
“All right, now. Stay out of it, you guys,” Sophie stated, not seeing the need for the others to brood over
it.
Right then, Clayton and Willow showed up.
Upon seeing them, Ysabelle immediately shut her eyes as she thought she had imagined things.
Speak of the devil!
She then gradually opened her eyes. Sure enough, she still saw them.
Clayton brought Willow over because he thought that no matter what, the group would show her some
respect since she was Sophie's older sister.
“Hey, Mr. Tristan! What a coincidence!” Clayton arrived in front of the group and wanted to take a seat.
Seeing that he was about to sit down, Sophie uttered, “Who said you're allowed to sit here?”
The young woman did not see the need to pretend to be cordial toward people she disliked.
Willow was utterly dissatisfied with Sophie's attitude toward Clayton, so she complained haughtily,
“Soph, what's the matter with you? We're going to be family soon! Why must you act this way?”
In her mind, she thought it was completely fine for sisters to help each other out.
“I'm sorry, but you're not my family,” Sophie retorted. I don't have such a shameless sister.
“You—” Livid, Willow was about to lose her temper but held her tongue when she saw Tristan sitting
next to Sophie.
“Soph, don't you think you should behave yourself in Mr. Tristan's presence?” She reminded Sophie.
“Hah. This is how I am. Why should I change? I'm not a pretentious person!” Sophie did not mince her
words.
“Exactly! Uncle Tristan likes Sophie for who she is. What's wrong? Are you jealous? Didn't you try to
seduce Uncle Tristan back then? How shameless of you!” Ysabelle chimed in ungraciously.
“Ysabelle, don't spew nonsense. Since when have I tried to seduce Mr. Tristan?” Willow panicked. She
was in disbelief that Ysabelle dared to make such a false claim in the presence of Clayton. “I've never
done that, Clayton!” she explained, turning to her fiancé.
Anger surged in Clayton's heart. Have I become a nobody?
“Clayton, we're not cut from the same cloth. Perhaps you should bring your fiancée to another table.”
Since Sophie and the rest did not own Nocturnal, they would not chase Clayton and Willow out of
there.
However, if Clayton were to try to blend in, none of them would show him respect, which was
unfortunate for him.
At that moment, Clayton's expression was grim.
“Clayton, we—” Willow wanted to say something but dared not finish her sentence when she saw his
countenance.
As a matter of fact, she was terrified of Clayton.
She knew he was not genuinely into her, though it did not matter to her.
After all, she would have a chance as long as she could stay by Clayton's side, and all she wanted was
a chance like that.
“Well, I'm sorry for intruding on your gathering, then!” Clayton said. However, he was even more
mortified because everyone ignored him.
Yet, he could not afford to lose his temper at such a moment. In the end, he had no choice but to bring
Willow away silently.
“Don't be angry, Clayton. That's just how they are. They think they're all that,” Willow comforted him.
Clayton lashed out at her. “Didn't I tell you to fix your relationship with Sophie? What have you done?”
“You're aware of Sophie's temper too, Clayton. She's so haughty that no matter what I do, she'll always
be high and mighty.” Despite feeling aggrieved, Willow could only endure it.
“I don't care how you do it, but I want you to reconcile with Sophie.” He ignored her after saying that.
Willow felt miserable when she saw Sophie being on friendly terms with the top elites of the upper-
class society while she had to accept Clayton's unreasonable demands.
D*mn you, Sophie! You should've died in Horington. How did you make your way back to Jipsdale?
Ever since you returned, my life has been tough. I'm praying for you to die every single day. That way,
everything will then return to normal!
“Did you hear what I said to you? Why are you in a trance? Let me tell you this—I hate fools. If you
want to stay by my side, you ought to be alert!” Clayton scolded.
I wouldn't have gotten engaged to this woman if it weren't because I wanted to make Sophie show me
mercy. Honestly, nothing about Willow is attractive to me.
“I understand, Clayton.” Willow nodded.
However, reconciling with Sophie was mission impossible for her.
Meanwhile, Ysabelle said excitedly to Sophie, “By the way, we'll be able to check our results for the
university entrance exam by midnight! Should we wait for it together?”
Regardless of the outcome, it was considered the beginning of a new journey for them.
“We can check our results when we wake up tomorrow morning. Why should we stay up just for a
score?” Sophie disagreed.
Frankly, it's not worth the wait!
“What do you mean it's just a score? You have no idea how many people are going to have trouble
sleeping tonight, Sophie!” Ysabelle exclaimed.
It's definitely not just a score! It represents hope for countless people!
“To me, it really is nothing but a score,” Sophie replied. I'm not losing sleep over that.
“It's all right. If she doesn't want to accompany you, I'll keep you company while you wait,” Felix
immediately uttered.
Ysabelle shot a glance at him.
“Forget about it! This sort of thing should be done with people who matter the most to me. Why should I
do it with you?” she said, turning him down right away.
“Since you're so excited to see your score, I'll accompany you.” Sophie did not want to disappoint her.
“Really? Does that mean I get to stay over at Wisteria Apartments tonight?” In truth, Ysabelle was
looking forward to sleeping the night at Sophie's place instead of checking her score.
Sophie nodded in agreement.
Seeing that, Felix was rendered speechless.
How is it possible that Ysabelle has such a strong attraction for a pretty girl like Sophie? If this goes on,
I might even begin to suspect that she's actually in love with Sophie!
“I'll keep you both company, then!” Felix suggested. The man humbled himself because he wanted to
be by Ysabelle's side at such a crucial moment in her life.
“Felix, you can't be like this. You ought to allocate some time to find a girlfriend, you know? You're not
getting any younger. If you don't get a girlfriend soon, you might be single forever!” Ysabelle said.
“What do you mean, Ysabelle? Are you saying I'm old? How am I old? My age is just right!” Felix
retorted.
Unfortunately, he experienced what it was like to be disdained by someone he was crushing on.
It was a suffocating feeling.
