Chapter 441

Sophie fell silent. He’s right. I have a lot of secrets, but he had never once asked about them. Instead,

he would just observe in silence.

With that thought in her mind, her heart clenched.

“I’m sorry!” she said. Do I make people worry about me a lot?

“You’ve never wronged me, so don’t apologize to me. I’m just glad I met you,” he replied. It’s such a

blessing to have met these members of The Wheelers. We’re like-minded people. Few people in the

world can experience this. I’ve at least done something I truly love for the past few years, and I’ve done

a pretty good job to boot.

“Okay,” she responded.

“Don’t let the others know about this first. I don’t want them to worry about me.” Mark knew his

departure was inevitable. He then added, “After I leave, see if you can find a new lead vocalist.”

What’s going to happen to the other members of The Wheelers if the band is disbanded? All these

years, they’ve been following him around. Once he leaves, what’s going to become of the rest of them?

Even at this moment, he’s still thinking on behalf of others. I guess that’s just how he is. Although he

looks unapproachable, he cares a lot about those who are close to him. Sophie’s heart was filled with

bitterness when she heard Mark’s words.

“I’m still here, am I not? Do you think I won’t be able to solve that?” she uttered.

“Perhaps you should consider becoming the lead vocalist for The Wheelers. That would be the best

outcome,” Mark uttered sincerely.

Regardless of her gender, Sophie was very passionate about rock music.

“Mark, you know how much I hate entering the entertainment industry!” Sophie liked her existing

lifestyle a lot. She loved music, but she didn’t want to make it her career.

“There’s no hurry. After all, I’ll still be around for the next twenty-odd days. Think about it, okay?” Mark

didn’t force her into making a decision right away.

With that, he said, “Okay, then. That’s that. I need to go and rehearse now. I’m going to cherish our

concert this time around because this is the first time the six of us are doing it together.” Mark had been

looking forward to having all six of them performing together for a long time.

After Mark left, Sophie was rooted to the spot. Me? The lead vocalist of The Wheelers? Am I capable of

that? I still have so many things to accomplish!

Meanwhile, Clayton was filled with anxiety because there was nothing he could do to overcome the

situation he was in.

“Clayton, our current situation is terrible. If this carries on, we won’t be able to have control over what

happens during the shareholders’ meeting!” Wilbur didn’t want to say anything discouraging, but that

was the truth.

Due to the situation they were in, they were at a disadvantage.

“I know!” Clayton didn’t even have the energy to lose his temper anymore.

Naturally, he knew they were in hot water.

“You guys are all from prominent universities, aren’t you? Can’t any of you figure out a solution for the

situation we’re in?” Clayton spent a fortune to hire an enormous group of people. However, none of

them could save him when he needed them the most.

Upon hearing that question, no one in the conference room dared to say a single word because none

of them knew how to overcome the issue.

“Just leave.” Having already lashed out at them, Clayton just wanted to be alone so he could think.

His subordinates rushed out of there the moment they heard that.

In fact, Clayton had been terrifying the past few days, and no one dared to cross him because none of

them wanted to end up being cannon fodder.

Even if they were to lose their jobs, they could always find a new one.

However, the same concept didn’t apply to their precious lives.

Wilbur, however, stayed behind. I can’t leave him alone!

“Clayton, don’t worry too much about it. Since it has already happened, all we need to do now is look

for a solution. No matter what, you’re still Willow’s fiancé. Perhaps you should look for Sophie,” Wilbur

said. After all, she’s the one who caused everything to happen.

Indeed, Sophie was their key to solving all the problems.

“Don’t you think I know that? It’s just that Sophie doesn’t bother entertaining anyone! To make matters

worse, she’s not even on good terms with Willow,” Clayton replied.

“Their relationship doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, they’re still sisters. She can’t possibly hang her

own sister out to dry, can she? Why don’t you just marry Willow?” Wilbur suggested.

“Marry Willow?”

The thought of Willow disgusted Clayton. That woman doesn’t deserve me!

“Clayton, we just need to get past this hurdle. After this, you can have any woman you want!” Wilbur

said.

“That’s right!” Clayton answered. Let’s just get through this first and deal with whatever is to come in

the future later.

“Where’s Willow? I haven’t seen her over the last few days. Where did she go?” Clayton was weirded

out. Willow was always pestering me, wasn’t she? Why has she gone missing now that she’s my

fiancée?

“I’ll look into it!” Wilbur answered instantly. He was willing to do whatever was necessary to solve the

problems at hand. Although Clayton was hot-tempered, he was paying Wilbur very well.

Three days later, Felix went to the psychiatric hospital. When he got there, Willow was cowering in a

corner, shaking. The people here are horrifying!

When she saw Felix, she instantly crawled toward the man and grabbed his pants.

“Mr. Northley, I was wrong, and I’m sorry! Please show me mercy! Please let me go. I promise I won’t

commit the same mistake again in the future!” she begged.

This time around, she had really learned her lesson.

“Let go!” Felix was irked when he saw Willow grabbing onto his pants.

Willow was stunned for a while.

“What the heck are you doing? Who do you think you are? How dare you grab my pants?”

Willow immediately snapped out of it and let go of his pants.

“Don’t worry! I’m here to take out you today. However, remember not to mess with someone you can’t

afford to mess with. Once you get out, you should watch your tongue. Otherwise, you know what I’m

capable of doing to you,” Felix said.

Before bringing her out of there, he wanted to lay down the rules.

“Okay. I know. Don’t worry. I’ll keep my mouth shut.” At that point, Willow wouldn’t dare to offend him

anymore.

“Also, here’s a reminder. Clayton isn’t a good person, so you had better not marry him.” Felix was being

merciful by telling her that.

“I’ve been gone for so long! Didn’t Clayton come looking for me?” she asked. I’m his fiancée, but he

didn’t even bother to look for me when I’d been missing for three whole days!

Hearing that, Felix couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you really that stupid? Did you really think Clayton was

into you? Do you not have a shred of self-awareness?” It seemed as though Willow was really that

clueless.

“I—”

“Don’t ever covet something that doesn’t belong to you. Do you really think men in the elite society are

all blind?”
