Pursuing Her 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.”"How about you start thinking of a way to locate

Phantom instead of trying to win some brownie points?“In truth, Tristan had nothing to fear even if

Phantom were to join forces with Clayton. It would still be troublesome, though.“Okay. I'll get right

to it."Unfortunately, Phantom always left as quickly as she showed up, which left Tristan in a

bind.Meanwhile, Willow waited for Clayton's car to disappear completely before running toward

Sophie and grabbing the latter by her hoodie."What's with you, Sophie? I know you're jealous of

me, but how could you embarrass me like that? Don't you know how important Clayton is to

me?"This d*mned woman. Why is she always so conceited?Sophie’s face clouded over as soon as

she felt her hoodie being seized.”Let go."Willow jumped in fright at her sister's grim expression, but

she refused to let go of her."Sophie, no matter what happens, I'm still your sister. How could you

treat me like this? I'm saying this for your own good."With onlookers surrounding them, Willow

immediately put on a facade. She could never let others know her true colors, no matter

what.“Forget it, Willow. You may treat her as your sister, but she’ll never do the same. All she does is

take what's yours. You're better off without a sister like her.”“Exactly! Not everyone will be grateful

for what you do. Someone like Sophie deserves to die alone.”Do you hear that, Sophie? This is

what you look like in other people's eyes. I know you don't like me, but it's not like you can do

anything about that,” Willow remarked smugly.You had your way the last time just because there

was no one around, but what can you do to me in front of all these people now?Sophie’s brows

creased. Why is she always spouting so much crap? Well, if she doesn't want this hand of hers

anymore, I'll grant her wish.Suddenly, she grabbed Willow's hand and bent it."Ahhhh!” the latter

shrieked, her face turning pale.She didn’t think Sophie would dare hurt her in front of all these

people.However, Sophie hadn't done much; she had only bent Willow's hand lightly, but the latter

felt as though her wrist had been broken.The crowd had also seen how softly Sophie had curved

Willow's wrist, but for some reason, the older sister appeared to be in so much pain that she broke

out in a cold sweat."What the hell is wrong with you, Sophie? She's still your older sister! How could

you attack her like that?"“You heartless witch!"“Are you okay, Willow?" A few girls who often hung

out with Willow immediately expressed their concern, although they dared not approach

Sophie.“Let go of me, Sophie,” Willow croaked between gasps of air. “Let go!“Having not bothered

Sophie for a while before this, Willow seemed to have forgotten how ruthless the former could

be.“What's wrong now? Where did that smug look on your face go, huh?"Willow began to tear

up.“You broke my wrist, Sophie. I'm an artist. Don't you know how much my hand means to me?

How could you do this to me?” she whimpered. Though it was partially an act, she was feeling

genuinely afraid. What am I going to do if I can't draw anymore?Seeing how anguished Willow

looked, everyone began to rebuke Sophie.Yet, Sophie merely smirked.”l broke your wrist? Are you

sure about that? How about you call a doctor over and find out if it's really broken? Since you love

putting on a show that much, I'll let you keep going.”"Don“t be afraid, Willow. I'll call a doctor and

get him to come over right now. We'll sue her if she really broke your wrist."One of Willow's

watchdogs immediately phoned the hospital. Then, everyone stayed behind, waiting for the doctor

to arrive. Nobody moved even though classes were about to begin, and that garnered the attention

of the school authorities.
