Chapter 438

Clayton wasn’t about to offer any help, so Charmaine could only go to Sophie again.

She tried calling Sophie’s phone, but the latter didn’t answer her calls.

Left without a choice, she had to wait under TS Entertainment’s building. She knew Sophie was

recently busy with matters concerning TS Entertainment and would definitely show up there.

As expected, Sophie showed up at half-past eight. It was Tristan who gave her a ride there.

Charmaine only had the guts to reveal herself after Tristan left.

“Soph, wait up!” she called out.

Sophie halted in her tracks. “Why are you so stubborn? I told you I didn’t do anything to Willow. I don’t

care whether or not you believe me. Why don’t you call the cops instead of harassing me?”

“Soph, I—” Before Charmaine could finish, her phone rang.

“Mom, it’s me!” It was Willow.

“Willa? Where have you been? Don’t you know I’ve been worried sick about you? Where are you

now?” Charmaine asked anxiously. She couldn’t be bothered about Sophie anymore.

“Don’t worry about me, Mom. I went on a vacation with my friends and will be back in a few days. My

phone ran out of battery, so I didn’t call you yesterday,” Willow explained with a pale face.

“Oh, I see. We got worried over nothing. Don’t do that again. I’m glad that you’re fine.” Charmaine

could finally heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she went on vacation. Nothing happened to her.

Pleased with her obedience, Felix got the phone back. “Good job. Don’t worry, for we’ll release you

three days later. Remember, don’t provoke Sophie ever again. You know how much Mr. Tristan adores

her. If you mess with her again, you might have to stay here forever,” he warned.

Willow shivered in fear. Gritting her teeth, she said nothing in response.

Felix is a horrifying man.

“Truth be told, I’m a gentleman, so I don’t want to hurt you. Stay here obediently for the next few days,”

Felix reminded her.

With that, he exited the room.

It wasn’t hard for him to deal with a young lady like Willow.

Rage filled Willow’s heart. It is all Sophie’s fault I ended up like this! If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be

here today. One day, I shall make sure she gets a taste of her own medicine!

After the call ended, Charmaine didn’t know what to say.

She couldn’t help remembering what she said last night to Sophie on the phone.

“Soph, we—” She was at a loss of words.

Unbothered, Sophie interrupted her, “You don’t have to say anything. I know what you’re thinking, but

I’m not the least bit bothered by someone like Willow.”

Willow was never even qualified to be her enemy.

Charmaine fell silent.

Subsequently, Sophie spun on her heels and entered TS Entertainment, reluctant to continue talking to

Charmaine.

Since young, Charmaine had always favored Willow even though Sophie was the youngest child in the

family. Nonetheless, Sophie never really liked Charmaine either, and thus couldn’t be bothered to earn

her affection.

Two people would slowly grow apart if they didn’t work hard to maintain their relationship. That fact

affected the relationship between parents and their children as well.

Once there was a rift between them, there was no going back.

Charmaine stared at Sophie’s back as regret overwhelmed her heart.

I shouldn’t have said that. I was too worried about Willow. Since young, I’ve always favored Willow.

That might be unfair, but I just cannot help it.

She felt a gush of regret at the sight of Sophie’s back.

However, it was too late for that. Sophie was already hurt, and there was nothing Charmaine could do

to undo that.

After rehearsal ended that afternoon, Sophie got changed and was about to go and find Tristan when

she spotted Mark getting into a car outside. She had never seen the car before.

The people in the car looked suspicious, too.

Sunny drove out of the building, and when he saw Sophie outside, he hit the brakes and asked,

“Sophie, where are you going? I can give you a ride!”

“Get down!” Sophie commanded.

“Huh? What are you talking about?” Sunny didn’t understand her order.

“I said, get down. Lend me your car,” Sophie said.

As he still didn’t respond after a while, Sophie promptly dragged him out of his car before hopping into

it and driving away.

Something was off with Mark, so she thought it might be connected to those people she saw in the car.

Sunny, who was left behind, was utterly dumbfounded.

What the h*ll is going on?

“Sophie!” he screamed.

Alas, his car was already a distance away, so it was useless no matter how loud he screamed. “D*mn

it. How did that happen?” he grumbled.

Sophie followed the car for a while until the other party realized they were being followed and prepared

to get rid of her.

Despite being a great driver, Sophie couldn’t do a good job stalking the car, for Sunny’s car was too

ostentatious.

“Someone is after us. Take action!”

Hearing that, Mark turned over his shoulder and spotted Sunny’s car.

He immediately furrowed his brows. Did Sunny discover something?

“That’s my friend. You are not allowed to harm him!” he declared. His father wanted him to attend a

gathering today, and he agreed to be there.

Since he had made a promise, he naturally had to keep it, but he wouldn’t allow anyone to harm the

members of The Wheelers.

“Mr. Mark!”

“What? Are you refusing to listen to my order?” Mark hissed. He was usually indifferent, but he looked

pretty intimidating at that moment.

The men in the car dared not utter a word.

“Just shake him off,” Mark ordered.

He then turned around to take another look.

Sunny’s driving skills has improved considerably, huh?

The driver of Mark’s car was an experienced driver who knew the area well.

However, it was pretty hard for him to shake off the car following them.

“Mr. Mark, who is that? I think he or she is great in countersurveillance,” the driver asked.

Mark frowned. “Are you sure?” Is Sunny skilled in countersurveillance? That sounds impossible. There

can only be one possibility—Sunny isn’t the driver! Who else could it be? The members of The

Wheelers come from a clean background. They can’t possibly be trained in that. Can it be Sophie?

In the end, someone had to come and help them before they managed to get rid of Sophie.

Sophie got out of the car as someone blocked her path.

“Young lady, do you know where you are? How dare you come here?” the man said arrogantly.

Sophie retorted, “I don’t know where I am, but I can go wherever I want. What can you do?”

“You’re quite arrogant, huh? Let me tell you. You’re in Emerald Gang’s territory. If you have no business

to be here, leave right away!” the man warned. His superior left orders that they couldn’t harm this

young lady, so they could only warn her verbally.

“Emerald Gang?” Sophie repeated. How is Mark related to Emerald Gang?

The man sneered, “Are you scared? Leave now!” They didn’t want to waste more time on her.

“Scared? What a joke.” Sophie wasn’t scared of anything in the world.

“Oh, you just won’t give up, huh?”
