Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Sophie The Savage

Willow stared at Clayton in puzzlement.

“Why do you want her to get in? We’re already almost at school. There’s no need to give her a ride.” She was rather fearful of Clayton’s demands.

“Did you not hear me? We’re not even a couple yet, and you’re already not listening to me. Why should I keep you by my side, then? Remember, I only like obedient women.” The man appeared nonchalant, but his words were more than enough to instill terror within Willow.

“Clayton…” She gazed at him, not knowing what to do. What does he mean? Is he interested in Sophie?

Clayton said nothing more. He merely tapped on the steering wheel from time to time, looking surprisingly patient.

Under his watch, Willow called out to her sister, “Sophie! Hop in! Let’s go to school together.”

Yet, Sophie walked straight in the direction of their school without even looking up.

Willow balled her hands into fists.

She’s horrible! How could she humiliate me like that?

Being ignored like that in the presence of Clayton, she felt her cheeks burn in embarrassment.

“Clayton, I…”

“School’s about to start. You should get going,” Clayton responded, paying no heed to what had just happened.

Willow grabbed her bag, hopped down, and stared at him from beside the car.

“Go on,” the man added with a wave.

“You go first. I’ll leave after you do,” Willow insisted as she shot him a loving look.

With that, Clayton drove off immediately.

It looks like I won’t be able to get close to Sophie through Willow. I’ll have to think of another way.

His phone rang as soon as he began driving.

“Hey, Clayton, didn’t you ask me to keep a lookout for Phantom? I’ve gotten my hands on some new intel. Phantom’s currently in Jipsdale.”

“Got it. I’m on my way.” Clayton sped up upon receiving news about Phantom, a figure who had captured his interest. This was the closest they’d been to the renowned hacker. If we can get Phantom to help us, the upcoming investment’s going to be a success.

Meanwhile, Lombard Group had also received word about Phantom.

“Mr. Tristan, it looks like Clayton Zales is also on the hunt for Phantom, who hacked into Zales Corporation’s system last night.”

“What?”

Phantom… You really are a mystery. Why did you do that? Are you interested in Zales Corporation?

“Clayton’s currently gathering all his forces to get a hold of Phantom.”

Any financial group that could get its hands on Phantom, the founder of Wings of Light, would instantly be rich.

“It’s been a long time since Phantom last appeared. What’s going on this time? Find Phantom before Clayton does.”

He had gone up against Phantom on several occasions, only to lose them every time.

“All right. By the way, Mr. Tristan, do you think Phantom’s a guy or a girl?”

“How would I know?”

“If it were actually a girl, I’d say she’s a monster.” Many large financial groups in Jipsdale had tried to locate her but to no avail.

“What’s there to be afraid of? Don’t you think smart girls are cute?”

Given her hacking skills, she’s probably a genius.

“Well, no matter how smart Phantom is, she’s nothing compared to you, Mr. Tristan.” Felix couldn’t help but suck up to his boss.
