Mark glanced at Clayton as he sneered. âIs that so? We are about to release a new album. I'm sure
we can compete with that new idol group of yours by then.â
"Who is so foolish enough to release an album for you guys? Isn't that person afraid of ending up
with no profits at all?â Clayton retorted straightforwardly, âOne word of advice from me. Don't think
of surviving in the entertainment industry after leaving Sky Media! I will never give you guys a
chance to start again!â
Clayton's assistant, Wilbur Lynch, chimed in as well, âYeah! Do you guys think you are outstanding?
What a bunch of ungrateful pricks! You guys won't even reach where you are today without Sky
Media's help!â
Even though The Wheelers brought in an abundance of profits that helped to fund the company,
they were rebellious and disobedient. They had always caused trouble. All Sky Media wanted was
profit-making machines, so they didn't care about the dreams and goals of The Wheelers.
Sunny grabbed Wilbur's collar in a fit of rage. âWhat's your problem? Do you want to fight? I've
always disliked you. Who do you think you are? You're nothing more than a rabid dog!â
The Wheelers had always been the target of Wilbur's bullying back in the days when they were still
in Sky Media.
Now that we have left the company, I can't believe he has the audacity to lecture us!
"Heh. Try to lay your fingers on me, and we shall see what will be the news headline tomorrow.â
Wilbur knew The Wheelers were public figures, so they didn't dare to do anything out of the line. He
had them wrapped around his little finger.
If they hit me now, their career would be over.
When Sunny raised his fist, Sophie grabbed his hand and said, âThat's enough. Let's not create a
fuss.â
They were celebrities, so fighting in public places was not acceptable.
Meanwhile, Clayton focused his gaze on Sophie. He had always been interested in her, but he didn't
have time to bother her since he was really busy lately.
"Sophie, we meet again. What do you say? Should we get a drink together?â Clayton smiled.
He had recently been bested by Tristan, so he had the urge to mess around with the latter's
girlfriend as an act of revenge.
âYou!â Upon seeing what Clayton was trying to do, Sunny's temper flared again. How dare he mess
with Sophie? âGet away from Sophie, or I will not let you off the hook.â
Unable to suppress his rage, he no longer cared if anyone caught or recorded him acting violently
today.
Clayton didn't bother sparing Sunny a glance, for he didn't think of the latter as a threat at all
It's my freedom to do whatever I want. What right do The Wheelers have to stop me?
Sunny could no longer stand it anymore. âMark, Clayton needs a good beating. Since that's the
case, I will teach him a lesson today.â
âSunny, I've told you not to get yourself involved in this. Mark, please take them away.â
Sophie knew Clayton was nothing more than a loser. There was no reason for them to get worked
up over him.
âSophie...â Mark was not willing to leave her behind. Clayton was a shameless and despicable man,
and the way he looked at Sophie made Mark extremely uneasy.
Clayton made it his business to provoke The Wheelers to no end. âYou heard her. She asked you to
leave.â
He badly wished that The Wheelers would resort to violence and hit him. Once they did that and
someone recorded the whole incident, The Wheelers would be blacklisted in the entertainment
industry for good.
âD*mn you!â The one thing that Sunny couldn't stand was someone messing with Sophie.
âSunny, I told you to head to the car first.â A stern expression appeared on Sophie's face. Every time
she put on a solemn demeanor, Sunny would have no choice but to obey her.
Thereafter, Mark led the rest of The Wheelers toward the car.
Clayton was disappointed when The Wheelers didn't take the bait. However, he wasn't too worried
about it. The man had plenty of tricks up his sleeve to stop The Wheelers from releasing their
album.
This is a dog-eat-dog world! You guys want to continue thriving in the entertainment industry after
betraying me? No way!
"Sophie, let's have a drink together.â Clayton smiled. âEven though there's a misunderstanding
between The Wheelers and me, it has nothing to do with you. I still very much admire your talent.â
She is Tristan's girlfriend. I can't wait to see the look on Tristan's face when I make her mine.
The mere thought of getting back at Tristan made Clayton ecstatic.
Wilbur threatened, âLet's go, Ms. Tanner. It's just a drink. Let me tell you this. Mr. Zales does not
have much patience. If you don't listen to him...â
Sophie was rendered speechless by his ultimatum.
Little did I expect to run into an insane person like him when I just came out for a meal. It seems like
Clayton still hasn't learned his lesson. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time to cause a ruckus here.
Sophie answered arrogantly, âI won't accept any invitation from a person I despise.â
âHey, what's wrong with you? Do you know how many women want to eat with Mr. Zales? How dare
you throw the chance away when you finally got it? Do you know who he is?"
What a country bumpkin!
âI don't want to eat with you people. What's wrong with that? I get nauseous when I see your face.â
Wilbur flew into a rage. âLet me tell you thisâMr. Zales does not hit women, but I do!"
"Oh, is that so? It depends on whether you have the capability to do so!â Sophie sneered.
Who does he think he is to taunt me like this?
Initially, Clayton condoned Wilbur's action of trying to frighten Sophie. However, when he noticed
that the woman was unfazed by Wilbur's threat, he growled, âWho allowed you to spew nonsense?
Get lost!â
Wilbur rubbed his nose sheepishly before retreating to the side.
"Sophie, I mean no harm. I invited you out of sheer admiration for your talent.â
"Donât waste my time any longer.â Sophie was unwilling to waste another second talking to
someone like Clayton.
âLet's go!â Sophie said to Ysabelle beside her.
Ysabelle, too, despised Clayton.
What the heck? How dare he make a move on Sophie? I must inform Uncle Tristan about this so he
can teach Clayton a lesson. Uncle Tristan has to put this man in his place.
âMr. Zales, I'll go after her and bring her back to you. Don't worry! We have a dozen of bodyguards
with us this time around. Just one word from you, and we will bring her to you!â Wilbur stated. After
observing for a long time, he knew what was going through Clayton's mind.
Sophie is too arrogant. However, I'm sure she will be obedient once she is tied up and thrown on
Mr. Zalesâ bed. Yes, she's a lot prettier than other women, but she still has to listen to Mr. Zales once
she is restrained. All that matters is that Mr. Zales is fond of her.
Clayton watched as Sophie left. He voiced, âDo you know who she is? She's Tristan's woman. Do you
still have the courage to kidnap her after knowing this?â
âWhat? Mr. Tristan's woman?â Wilbur didn't expect Sophie to be Tristan's girlfriend.
