Chapter 188 Gaining Fans
"Okay, got it. Keep Clayton busy. Otherwise, he will just bother us if he has nothing to do."âAll right,â
replied Butterfly.âAlso, no need to change location. No one would dare disturb you,â added Sophie
with a yawn.âPhantom...â Butterfly knew how formidable Phantom was, but this matter was not that
simple.âJust trust me.â Holding her phone in one hand, Sophie pushed the bathroom door open
with the other. âI'm going to take a bath now, so I'll hang up first. Tomorrow is the final exam.âFinal
exam?"Realization dawned on Butterfly. Had Sophie not mentioned that, Butterfly would have
forgotten she was only an eighteen-year-old girl.âYeah. Don't worry; no one would dare harm you.â
Sophie was sure no one would have the guts to mess with her people.âAll right, then.âShe's right.
Their target is Phantom, after all. Nobody has ever seen her in person, though, so even if they find
the Wings of Light's headquarters, they can't do anything.By the time Sophie went to school, it was
already half-past eight. Once Ysabelle spotted her, she pounced on the latter. Had Sophie not
reacted fast enough, she would have been knocked over.âSophie, if you have a fan club, I want to be
the leader of it,â she expressed. Soph is too impressive. She totally rocked that concert
yesterday!âWhat the hell? What did Sophie do to deserve a fan club? You're out of your mind,
Ysabelle.""Yeah, even if you want to be someone's fan, at least idolize a beautiful young man like
Tanner.â"You are the ones out of your minds! What does me being someone's fan have to do with
you? Mind your own business!â Ysabelle retorted, clearly discontented. They don't know who's in
front of them now. I wonder how they'd react if they found out the Tanner they mentioned is the
same Tanner in Sophie Tanner, but I guess Soph doesn't want her identity to be exposed.âBesides,
Sophie is just as amazing as that Tanner,â uttered Ysabelle proudly.â"How dare you say that? Do you
know who our Tanner is? He's The Wheelersâ drummer. Not only is he tall, but heâs charming as well.
That man is unmatched. It's a shame we didn't get to see his face. If I could see what he looks like,
I'd die in happiness,â stated the girl regretfully. She was clearly a big fan of Tanner."Arenât you being
a little exaggerated? What about your Sunny? Haven't you always worshiped him? Why did you
suddenly jump ships?"âPeople change. As of now, I only have Tanner in my heart.âSophie would
never have expected she would gain fans just by merely being a guest performer.âYou're incredible,
Sophie,â Ysabelle uttered in admiration. âIf you decide to join the entertainment industry, you have
to bring me along, okay?"Just then, Willow arrived.As the others noticed her presence, a gloating
look appeared on their faces. âWillow, haven't you always boasted about Mason being your fiancé?
Now that heâs in the hospital, how could you go and seduce another man?"âWatch what you're
saying. What Willow does has nothing to do with you. What rights do you have to talk to her like
this?" defended one of Willow's minions.âExcuse me, I'm talking to Willow here. You don't need to
speak for her. Didn't you say you loved him to death, Willow? Now that heâs in the hospital,
suddenly you don't love him anymore? Your love is only superficial. You're disgusting.âBlinking her
doe eyes at the girl who spoke, Willow acted pitifully.âl do love him, but I can't do anything because
the person he has always loved is Sophie. All I can do is give up."There was no way she would
mention her past with Mason because she did not want Clayton to learn about it. Men like Clayton
cared a lot about a woman's past.If he found out how much I loved Mason previously, I'd stand no
chance."Really? I think you're just avoiding Mason because heâs a cripple now.""Mason doesn't
deserve Willow, anyway. If you donât abandon a half-hearted man like him, would you rather keep
him forever, then?"They had witnessed how Mason treated Sophie, and to them, Willow leaving him
was reasonable.âBesides, Mason is nothing compared to Mr. Zales.""Mr. Zales? You mean the one
from Zales Corporation? Stop pulling our legs. How would he even be interested in Willow?"Hearing
that, Willow was immensely delighted.Heh, it doesnât sound believable, right? But it's the truth."Yes,
it's him, and heâs the one who approached Willa first. You guys can go be jealous in the corner.â Our
Willow is just this outstanding.âReally?â The other party still found it hard to believe.âYup, we're
trying to date now,â Willow confirmed, throwing a glance at Sophie smugly.As long as I can be with
Clayton, compared to me, Sophie doesnât even amount to a speck of dust."How shameless. Clayton
is nothing. Sophâs boyfriend is even moreâ""Ysabelle, stop,â Sophie interjected, for she found it
useless to argue with Willow. âThe exam is almost starting. Let's head in.âIn Jipsdale Premier High,
the studentsâ seats during the examination were arranged according to their grades, so Sophie,
Willow, and Ysabelle were placed in the first examination hall."You're such a marvelous person,
Willow. Not only are you pretty, but you have good grades as well, unlike a certain someone. If not
for luck at that time, it would've been embarrassing for her. Now that sheâs in the first examination
hall, let's see how she'll cheat.âEven though Sophie had excellent grades the last time, people
thought it was the result of her cheating, as they did not believe she could do this well.âYour
jealousy is showing, girls. Trust me; even if Sophie doesn't study for a week, she'll still surpass all of
you,â uttered Ysabelle, not even bothering to conceal her proudness. There was no need to,
anyway." Pfft, we know you're merely bluffing. Do you know how strict the invigilation in the first
examination hall is? Also, phones are not allowed in this time, so somebody here is doomed.â"Not
wanting to hear their nonsense any longer, Sophie pulled Ysabelle inside.âSee how guilty she looks,
Willa? If she didn't cheat and had gotten her good grades honestly, she wouldn't have escaped. If
you do well this time, you'll definitely crush that shameless girl.ââDonât talk like that. She's my sister,â
said Willow, putting on an act once more.Grades mean nothing when I have Clayton by my side.
Sophie will still lose to me either way. Willow was so full of herself that during the examination, she
was busy coming up with ways to get Clayton to fall for her. When she snapped out of it, one and a
half hours had already passed.She did not have enough time to complete the essay.Exiting the hall,
Willow looked a bit absent-minded.My god. I'm going to have bad grades. How will I face Mom
when the time comes?
