Charmaine belatedly realized what she said, but it was too late to retract her words.
“Sophie, no matter what, we're still a family. I hope this matter isn't related to you,” Charmaine said in
the end.
“Ha!” Sophie couldn't help but snort out loud. “I don't have a family like you.”
After all, Charmaine had never sided with her. Not even once.
How dare she suspect I did something to Willow?
With that said, Sophie cut the line instantly, not bothering to entertain the woman any longer.
No matter what she said, Charmaine still wouldn't trust her. Thus, it was pointless for her to try and
change Charmaine's mind.
Seeing that, Tristan took her hand and pulled her into his arms. “What's the matter?”
“I'm fine,” came Sophie's answer. She wasn't about to let unimportant people affect her mood. That was
absolutely unnecessary.
“You don't look like you're fine,” Tristan replied. She seems to be in a bad mood.
“Willow is missing, and my mom thinks I did it,” Sophie revealed nonchalantly. “Tell me. Am I that free?”
“Oh, I see.” Tristan snorted. Charmaine is indeed a loathsome woman.
“Since she's not important, don't be angry at her. It's not worth it. Go take a shower. I'll give you a
massage later,” he urged.
She had rehearsed for a long time and should be exhausted.
Sophie snuggled into the couch and didn't feel like moving. “I don't feel like taking a shower!”
Tristan's heart skipped a beat when he saw how adorable she looked.
“Be good. Take a shower and go to bed. Just ignore those nobodies,” he comforted her.
Meeting his affectionate gaze, Sophie couldn't bring herself to say no. She climbed up from her spot on
the couch and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Meanwhile, Yale was gazing at Charmaine fervently. “What did she say? Has she seen Willow?” he
demanded.
No matter what, Willow was now Clayton's fiancée, so nothing could happen to her.
Charmaine shook her head.
“Why did I give birth to such a daughter? She's so rude! Did you know she hung up on me?” she
complained.
Charmaine was filled with regret. I shouldn't have given birth to her in the first place.
“I told you not to give birth to her, but you insisted. It's useless to regret now,” Yale snapped. All she
does is make life difficult for us.
Charmaine was frustrated. “What should we do now?” she asked worriedly.
Willow went missing all of a sudden, so they couldn't just act as if nothing had happened.
Something might happen to her out there.
“Should we call Clayton? After all, Willow is his fiancée, so he wouldn't ignore our plight,” Yale
declared. Subsequently, he whipped his phone out to give Clayton a call.
However, the call did not get through.
“This is impossible. Why can't the call get through?” Yale blurted out in disbelief. “What's going on?”
He was utterly confused.
Hearing that, Charmaine demanded, “What? What happened?”
“I can't get through. Okay, that's enough. Stop worrying. It has been less than twenty-four hours since
she went missing, so the police won't help even if we were to make a police report. Go to bed, and we'll
see what happens tomorrow.”
He could head to Zales Corporation and ask for Clayton's help if nothing else worked.
The next day, Willow still didn't show up.
Yale went straight to Zales Corporation, but the security guard refused to allow him entry.
“What are you doing? Didn't you read the news? I'm your CEO's father-in-law. I have some urgent
matters that I need to talk to him about. Let me in now! Otherwise, you'll be punished for delaying my
matter!” Yale behaved unreasonably.
I'm an influential person now. How dare they treat me this way?
“I'm sorry, but our CEO is very busy. He doesn't have time to entertain random people,” the security
guard responded curtly.
“You!” Yale fumed. He had never been humiliated this way.
“You should leave as soon as possible. We have no choice but to call the police if you continue to act
unreasonably,” the security guard warned.
Right then, Clayton strode out of the company.
Seeing him, Yale yelled, “Mr. Zales, I'm Yale Tanner, Willow's father! Willow is in trouble!”
Clayton heard the older man's voice and turned around to see Willow's father.
He approached Yale and said, “What is going on? Yale, what do you want? You're not allowed to cause
a commotion at Zales Corporation.”
How could he cause a ruckus here and affect our operation?
As Clayton didn't bother showing Yale any respect, the latter was displeased.
I'm his father-in-law. How could he treat me rudely?
“Clayton, I seriously need your help. Do you think I like coming to your company?” he hissed furiously.
Despite his fury, he couldn't do anything to Clayton.
“I'm busy, so I don't have time to hear your nonsense!” Clayton responded, refusing to waste his
precious time on Yale.
“Willow is missing. We lost contact with her yesterday at noon. I know you look down on our family, but
no matter what, Willow is still your fiancée. You shouldn't turn a blind eye to her plight!”
“If she's missing, what can I do to help? I think you should go to the police,” Clayton snapped. He was
unconcerned by Willow's matters.
Yale stared at him incredulously. How could he say that?
He couldn't help but ask, “Do you even like Willow?” He's acting so strangely. Why doesn't he seem to
care?
“That's enough. I don't have time to entertain you,” Clayton declared. If Willow is of no use to me, she's
better off missing.
With that said, Clayton left with his subordinates.
Yale tried to go after him but was stopped by the security guards.
“Hear that? Mr. Zales didn't even bother sparing your dignity. You should leave instead of making things
difficult for us,” the security guard told Yale.
Yale stood underneath the scorching sun, not understanding what was going on.
Back in Tristan's office, Felix was helping Tristan deal with some matters.
“How is Willow doing there?” Tristan asked.
“Oh, how rare of you to show concern for someone else,” Felix joked. Weren't you the one who sent
her there?
“I need you to head there today. Ask her to call her family and tell them she is traveling alone,” Tristan
ordered. He hated it when outsiders disturbed Sophie.
“I don't think that's an easy feat. She never wanted to enter the psychiatric hospital in the first place. If I
allow her to make the phone call, she will definitely rat us out,” Felix replied hesitantly.
Tristan was unbothered. “This is no big deal. Can't you handle it?”
“Okay, fine. I got it. I will handle it,” Felix promised. I'm fated to work my as* off. I have no other choice.
“Does Sophie know about this?” he asked.
“As of now, no. There's no need to tell her about it. She doesn't have to know that I'm teaching Willow a
lesson,” came Tristan's answer.
“Okay. I know what to do.” Felix nodded. He doesn't want anyone to know, so I'll wipe off all traces of
our doing.
