Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 418

She would never wrongfully accuse anyone.

“What do you mean?” Clayton's face darkened when he heard her words.

What did she mean by that? Does she know something?

Sophie was pleased to see his expression change.

“You should know better than anyone else what I'm implying. Don't worry! You always thought there was no evidence, right? I'll gladly prove you wrong!”

“Sophie Tanner, you're seeking death!”

Clayton immediately got up on his feet.

“What? Do you want to fight? Try me! Let's see if you can beat me!” Sophie had never backed down from a fight.

With that, she left him behind, a haughty expression on her face.

When she was with him, she could barely force herself to look at him, let alone drink coffee.

Clayton sat alone in the cafe, speechless.

This girl knows too much! If this continues, I'm screwed.

“Clayton, are you okay?” Upon entering, Wilbur saw Clayton in that state and was worried the latter had gone crazy because of Sophie.

“Contact Willow!” Suddenly, an idea popped into Clayton's mind.

Willow was excited to receive Clayton's call. Naturally, she knew what he was going through.

However, she still held a glimmer of hope.

Clayton is so powerful. How can Sophie be his match? He's only temporarily going through some tough times. I'm sure he'll eventually climb back to the top again.

Thus, after receiving Clayton's call, Willow went over without hesitation and was shocked to see him in that state.

“Clayton, what happened? Are you okay?” Willow asked, concerned.

“Willow, do you really love me?” Clayton suddenly asked.

Willow gazed into his eyes and nodded solemnly.

“Yes, I love you. I want to be with you and have your kids!” she declared instantly.

“Okay, then let's get engaged!” Clayton said straightforwardly.

Willow was stunned speechless.

Did I hear wrong?

“Clayton, what did you say?”

“I said, let's get engaged. You go and discuss it with your family. Let's do it as soon as possible!”

“Why, Clayton?”

She didn't expect things to progress so fast.

“Are you willing? If you're not, I can find someone else. My grandma is sick, so she wants to see me get married and have a kid.” Clayton gave any excuse he could find.

“I see! All right, let's get engaged!” Willow threw all caution to the wind. Regardless of what Clayton is going through, he's still from a prestigious family. How can I give up on such a good opportunity? I will never let this chance pass!

Willow went home and told Charmaine about this matte, whereupon Charmaine could not help but frown. After all, she was a grown woman, so naturally, she sensed something weird.

“Willa, I know you want to marry into a prestigious family, but look at the state Clayton is in now! No one knows what will happen to him in the future. Moreover, it seems strange that he is proposing to you at such a time.”

Charmaine was very worried.

“Mom, what do you think of Zales Corporation?”

“Zales Corporation?” Zales Corporation was indeed powerful now, but nobody knew whether it would continue to be so in the future. “Willa, I suggest you wait awhile till the situation at Zales Corporation stabilizes.”

If Willow got engaged with Clayton from Zales Corporation, and he couldn't go back to being as successful as before in the future, she would be dragged into his mess too.

“Mom, this is my only chance. He only proposed to me because his grandma is sick.”

If I don't accept his proposal, he can get engaged to another girl. Then, I won't have any more chances.

“Mom, you must help me this time, no matter what! I must get engaged with Clayton!”

He's Clayton Zales and my only hope in life!

Charmaine hesitated for a while.

“Fine, I got it. But I don't know how to bring up this matter to your grandpa. He probably won't agree!”

“It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. What's important is whether I am willing,” Willow announced, not caring about the consequences.

Grandpa only cares about Sophie, anyway. As long as she's around, he won't even look at me. Since he's only going to give everything the Tanner family owes to Sophie, why must I tell him what I'm planning on doing and who I'm marrying?

“What do you mean? Are you not planning on telling your grandpa?” Charmaine asked with a frown. She had a feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Willow shook her head.

“No. Mom, you can tell Dad about this matter. He probably won't be against this. When the time comes, you can just attend the ceremony with Dad!”

After pondering for a moment, Charmaine nodded.

“Okay, I understand.” Since Willow had already decided, there was nothing else Charmaine could do as her parent.

The main reason why Charmaine was willing to risk it was Clayton's high status.

If Clayton manages to make a comeback one day, we will become the upper class. I've already done so much to enter high society, so I can't give up now!

“Mom, don't wear such an expression. This is my choice. No matter what happens in the future, I will bear the consequences.” Mainly, it was because Willow believed her choice was correct.

“All right, as long as you have thought this through.” Charmaine could only hope Willow wouldn't regret this later on.

Clayton and Willow's engagement ceremony was put together in a hurry. Although time was short, he still invited many reporters.

Upon seeing the many reporters, Willow was satisfied.

At first, she was worried Clayton wasn't sincere.

Now that she saw the number of reporters, she finally believed that he genuinely wanted to marry her. I haven't felt like the center of attention in such a long time! I've always enjoyed such a feeling since birth. Indeed, Clayton can give me everything I want.

“Clayton, I'm so happy!” Willow said with a smile as she held his arm.

“As long as you're happy. Don't worry. I'll treat you well in the future,” Clayton declared half-heartedly.

Now that I'm considered a son-in-law of the Tanner family, I don't think Sophie will be too harsh on me.

Naturally, Yale and Charmaine also came. Realizing that Clayton truly was getting engaged with Willow, Charmaine was relieved.

“Mr. Zales, you must treat my Willow well in the future!” Charmaine uttered in concern.

Clayton nodded and hummed in agreement, not at all appearing polite.

Clayton's attitude made Charmaine uncomfortable, but upon recalling his status, she bore with it.

“You all enjoy yourselves. I have something to attend to with Willow,” Clayton declared before leaving, dragging Willow along.
