The last thing Sophie wanted was to see Willow, but the latter kept showing up everywhere she went.
As soon as Tristan left after dropping Sophie off, Willow appeared at the entrance of TS Entertainment.
Since Sophie was all alone, Willow had nothing to fear.
“Let's talk, Soph!”
Willow was persistent.
She did not have any other option. Since Clayton wanted her to be on good terms with Sophie, she could only do as he said.
She would obey whatever the man said, for there was no way she would give up on her dream of marrying a rich man.
With a frown, Sophie paid no heed to Willow and tried to walk past her.
Willow was annoyed by the other woman's haughty demeanor. How can she treat me like that? I'm her sister! She has to at least show some respect for me, right?
“Who do you think you are, Sophie?” she asked angrily.
Nevertheless, Sophie continued ignoring Willow to the extent of pretending that the latter wasn't even there.
“I'm talking to you, Sophie!”
Willow chased after her.
“I'm warning you. If you continue ignoring me, don't blame me for showing you no mercy later on.” She could no longer tolerate Sophie's attitude.
Sophie finally stopped in her tracks.
“Are you done, Willow? No matter what you want to do, it's your business. It has nothing to do with me. I'm not interested in anything that concerns you,” she said coolly.
“Is that so? What do you think Mr. Tristan will do when he saw the video?” Since Sophie refused to engage in a proper conversation with Willow, the latter could only resort to threats.
“What video?” What is she trying to do now?
Willow was pleased when Sophie stopped walking.
So, she is still afraid of something.
“I've told you before, right, Soph? No matter what happened, we're sisters. Our lives are linked together. Am I right?” Willow said, beaming.
Sophie was at a loss for words.
Sisters? She's defiling the word “sisters.”
“Clayton told me to get along with you. So, we shall let bygones be bygones. Let's pretend that nothing had happened.”
“Clayton?”
So I was right. Clayton is engaged to Willow only because he thinks I will make compromises for her sake.
“That's right. Clayton is my fiancé now. I hope that you can cut him some slack.” Willow was bothered by how Sophie treated Clayton mercilessly. “The way you're treating him is putting me in a tight spot, you know?” she added.
“That's your problem. Clayton is up to no good. I think it's better if you cancel the engagement.”
Words eluded Willow, who was genuinely enraged.
“I know that you resent me. But I'm not the only one to blame for what happened in the past, right?”
“You, of all people, should know the answer to that. You don't have to talk to me about it. I'm busy, and I don't have the time to entertain you.”
The date of the concert was just around the corner, and she still didn't know why Mark was leaving.
Thus, she had a lot of things to tend to.
“Sophie, as long as you don't make things difficult for Clayton, we can all live peacefully. Isn't that great?”
“His fate is already sealed!” came Sophie's curt answer.
“You!”
She isn't showing me any respect at all! How can she say that about my fiancé right in front of me?
“By the way, I don't even care about the video you're talking about. I'm not interested in it.” With that said, Sophie entered the building.
She would not be threatened by anyone.
Willow attempted to follow Sophie but was stopped by the security guards.
“I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to enter if you're not an employee.”
“What do you mean? I'm Sophie Tanner's sister. This is her company. Why can't I enter the building?” These guards are merely watchdogs. I'm the boss here! How dare they stop me from entering?
“I'm really sorry. No matter who you are, you're not allowed to enter if you don't have an employee ID.”
The security guards refused to budge.
Is she kidding? Ms. Tanner didn't pay us high wages for us to mess around. Not anyone can enter TS Entertainment.
“You—” Willow wanted to force her way in, but to no avail.
At that moment, Ysabelle arrived. She frowned upon seeing Willow at the entrance.
“Why are you still here, Willow? Why don't you just give up? Sophie doesn't want to have anything to do with you.”
Once the security guards saw Ysabelle, they immediately greeted her. “Greetings, Ms. Lombard!”
“Don't let her enter the building. Sophie doesn't want to see her,” she instructed the guards.
“What's with that attitude, Ysabelle? I'm Sophie's actual sister. Who do you think you are?”
“To be honest, it's sickening to see you this early in the morning.” Ysabelle disregarded her and walked into the building.
There was nothing else that Willow could do.
The weather was scorching hot as she continued waiting outside, but she didn't get to have a talk with Sophie.
Feeling frustrated and defeated, she forwarded the video about the confession to a reporter.
I don't care about Sophie anymore. If she refuses to make things easy for me, I would let her have a taste of her own medicine.
The reporter was elated to receive the video early in the morning.
Sophie is the highest achiever in the university entrance exam this year! There are plenty of news about these high achievers on various social media platforms, but there's none about Sophie even though she was ranked first in the exam.
The reporter wondered which kind soul gave him such a great opportunity to publish such interesting news.
Thus, the reporter quickly edited the video and uploaded it on TikTok.
Tristan wasn't interested in watching TikTok videos. Felix was the one who found out about the video when he saw his secretary watching it.
He quickly downloaded TikTok and searched for the video before bringing his phone to Tristan's office.
“I want to show you something, Mr. Tristan.” I told him to attend the gathering, but he didn't want to. Look what has happened. Someone actually confessed to Sophie. What a bold man!
“What is it?” Tristan asked, uninterested.
Felix handed his phone to Tristan and the latter proceeded to watch the video.
“Who recorded the video?” I thought those who attended the gathering yesterday were students of Senior Class 8. Someone has recorded this video and uploaded it on social media. What does the person want?
“Is that the main point? The main point is that someone confessed his love for Sophie!”
“So? Isn't that normal? She's an outstanding woman. It's not a surprise that many people like her.”
It's not weird at all.
Felix was rendered speechless.
Fine! I give up. Mr. Tristan's way of thinking is different from mine. Even our main focus is not the same.
“Find out who the person is,” Tristan ordered.
“Sure. I'll do that right away.”
It was not difficult for Felix to handle such a trivial matter. In less than ten minutes, he found out who the culprit was.
Subsequently, he brought his men to meet the reporter who published the video.
When the reporter saw so many people coming for him, he trembled violently in fright.
