Pursuing Her Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Are You Jealous Of Me

"Soph, I didn't do it on purpose. I really didn't see you.” Willow feigned remorse. “Anyway, you can

stop worrying about me fighting with you over Mason. Since you like him, you can go ahead and

have him.”"Willow, you disgust me.” Sophie's eyes were piercingly cold. “Haven't you fallen head

over heels in love with him? What's wrong? Have you changed your target?" Willow was

outraged.”What are you trying to say? I just realized that some things couldn't be forced. Since

Mason has no feelings for me, there's no point in me losing my dignity over him.” So what if I have

really changed my target? Since Mason doesn’t want me as his girlfriend, there's no point in me

throwing myself at him. Besides, isn't Clayton a hundred times better than he is?"Have you heard of

the Zales family?” Willow gloated all of a sudden. “It's only now that I discovered I like ambitious

men like Clayton.”"How the f*ck is that my business?” Sophie didn't mince her words. “Willow, let

me warn you. I don't care what you want to do. However, if your actions harm the Tanner family's

interest, I'll definitely make you pay.“Is she not taking me seriously because I have yet to hold her

accountable for the incident with the picture?Due to Josiah's condition, Sophie had no time to deal

with Willow. But now, the latter was getting increasingly on her nerves. Willow broke into a

smirk.”Sophie, I knew you have always been jealous of me. What's wrong? Are you also going to

seduce Clayton just to spite me?"Sophie’s eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint in them.If they

weren't in a ward and Josiah wasn't already sleeping, Sophie would definitely have taught Willow a

lesson.”Willa, that's enough.” Charmaine was also worried that their exchange would escalate into

an argument in the ward.”I'm not trying to meddle in your affairs, but you had better not get

yourself so deep into trouble that you have to beg me for help."Does she even know what kind of

person Clayton is? She must be deluded to think that she can manipulate him. That aside, am I his

target, or is Tristan?“Let me tell you; you're obviously jealous of me. There's no doubt about it.”

Willow was extremely full of herself."Take her away.” Sophie had lost her patience for further

conversation, as she felt like she was speaking to a fool.Sensing Sophie's exasperation, Charmaine

grabbed Willow and walked away.Upon leaving the ward, she remarked, “Willa, there's still a long

way to go before you and Clayton are together, and yet—""Mom, I'm confident that Clayton will

definitely fall into my grasp. How can you not trust me?” Willow was upset by her mother’s lack of

faith.Charmaine’s concern intensified upon hearing her daughter's words.”Can it be that Clayton is

trying to use you?” With tons of girls clamoring to be with him, why would he give Willow special

treatment?Charmaine’s doubt struck a nerve with Willow."Mom, what's that supposed to mean? Am

I not worthy of someone's love?” How can she think that of me?Charmaine held Willow's hand

gently and comforted her, “Willa, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about you due to

Clayton's bad reputation.”l don't doubt the influence of the Zales family in Jipsdale, but Clayton is

an infamous playboy who is surrounded by girls everywhere he goes. Thus, are his feelings for

Willow true?”l know everyone has a bad impression of him, but it doesn’t matter, for I'll be the one

whom he settles down with.” Willow knew she had no control over the past. All that mattered was

that he would change for the better once both of them were together.”All right now, you should go.

If you have time, get yourself some new clothes. You don't want to be outshone by the girls who are

throwing themselves at Clayton.” Charmaine had barely spoken when she handed Willow a

card."There's five hundred thousand in here. Buy whatever you fancy. If there's a need, get Clayton a

present too."Willow took the card gleefully.When she was together with Mason, her mother didn't

pay much attention to her.In contrast to then, Charmaine had now given her a card with five

hundred thousand inside."That's all, run along now. I'll keep an eye on things here. There's no need

for you to be around.” All you'll end up doing is getting into an argument with Sophie.”Fine, I'm off

then. When Grandpa awakes, tell him that I dropped by. Otherwise, he will think that Sophie is the

only one who's concerned about him.” I care about him too, all right?Charmaine furrowed her brows

as she watched Willow leave in delight. Deep down, she prayed that her daughter would succeed

this time.Given what happened to Mason, she no longer has any chance with him.In fact, Constance

had even given Charmaine a call. It was just that the latter didn't dare pick up.Now that Willow had

a new target, Charmaine stopped planning for her and Mason to get back together even if his leg

recovered.Upon returning to the ward, Charmaine saw Sophie chatting with Josiah, who looked to

have recovered a lot."Dad, Willa came to see you just now. Since you were sleeping, I took the

liberty to tell her to leave."Worried that Josiah’s resentment for Willow would grow, Charmaine

quickly made an excuse on the latter's behalf.”As the university entrance exam is approaching, you

had better remind her to focus on her studies and not go gallivanting around.” Even though he

wasn't at home, Josiah was kept informed of Willow's affairs by Morgan.”Dad, how can you say that

about Willa? She has always been a good girl. You shouldn't accuse her of gallivanting

outside.” That's not an appropriate statement to make."It's true that she’s a good girl but

unfortunate that both of you have spoilt her.” Ever since she was young, all she cared about was

fawning upon the powerful instead of learning a proper skill. Moreover, it will only get worse when

she grows up.Even though Charmaine was upset with Josiah's comment, there was nothing she

could do about it.”All right now. You should head home too. As Morgan is here, there's no need for

you to stay.” Over the years, Charmaine had done a lot for the family. However, it was just a shame

that she was too narrow-minded.Although she wasn’t oblivious to Josiah's resentment of her,

Charmaine was still disturbed by how he reprimanded her.”Dad, I know you have never liked me,

but I have already done my best. There's nothing more I can do to change your mind.” Just as

Charmaine spoke, she left with a pitiful silhouette Josiah let out a sigh."Grandpa, what's wrong?”

Sophie asked attentively."Oh, Sophie! Do I really demand too much of your mom?” Josiah began to

grow unsure of himself.Sophie didn't know what to say."There, there. Let's not talk about that.

Anyway, why didn't I see Tanny today? Is he busy?” One didn't need to be a genius to know how

occupied Tristan was. After spending the last few days focused on Josiah, there was a huge backlog

of work at Lombard Group that needed his attention.”Mm-hmm, he will be busy for the next few

days.” Lombard Group had recently made an investment worth a few billion.
