Chapter 456

Clayton had never expected Sophie to be such a ruthless, merciless person. He had no idea what he

should do at that moment.

“Sophie, you really are a cruel person. You don’t even care about your own sister! Since you’re

adamant about making my life difficult, I’m going to make you bear the sin of harming your own sibling!”

With that, Clayton, who couldn’t care less about the consequences, prepared to make his move on

Willow.

Willow closed her eyes in resignation.

At that point, she had lost all hope.

She only had herself to blame for this. If she hadn’t thought that Clayton could give her everything she

ever wanted, she would not have ended up like that.

Willow’s eyes were shut for quite a while, but as she waited, her impending death didn’t befall her as

she expected it to.

While her eyes were still closed, Sophie had sent Clayton flying with a kick, and the gun in his hand fell

to the ground.

Clayton lunged toward it.

That was the only thing that could ensure his safety and help him escape.

He did not know how else he was going to leave the place if he didn’t have that gun.

However, as soon as Clayton was about to pick up the gun, Sophie nonchalantly kicked it to another

side.

“Clayton, why are you still making pointless struggles? Didn’t I tell you that there’s no way you’re

leaving this place today?”

Since she had made up her mind to send the man to jail, she would definitely make that happen.

Clayton tried to reach out for the gun again, but Sophie kicked it away again. She was blatantly toying

with the man. Instead of picking up the gun, she kicked the gun around and made him go after it in

desperation.

Clayton’s embarrassment turned into anger.

“Sophie Tanner, you—”

Sophie lazily stretched her stiff muscles.

“Yes, that’s me. What? Do spit out all of your threats at once,” she said. She was never afraid of

threats.

Clayton gritted his teeth resentfully when he saw how unfazed Sophie was.

“I’m going to kill you!”

He gave up trying to pick up the gun and grabbed a nearby vase to hurl it at Sophie.

Sophie easily dodged it.

“You’re so not a gentleman!” Sophie taunted, almost angering Clayton to death.

In the next second, he lunged at her.

He desperately wished he could kill Sophie right there and then. There was no way he was going to let

her off easily.

Yet, just as he threw himself at her, Sophie kicked him squarely in the stomach. She didn’t even exert

much force.

Clayton collapsed onto the shards of the vase, and blood soon covered the whole floor.

“Why are you so clumsy? Can’t you see shards all over the floor? I know you want to die, but you don’t

need to do it this way, right?”

Clayton fumed.

He tried to clamber to his feet, but his attempts were futile. Sophie’s kick had been a heavy one.

All he could focus on at that moment was the agony that spread across his entire body.

Right then, Willow struggled to her feet and picked up the gun from the floor. Then, she aimed it at

Sophie’s head.

Clayton was baffled by the scene.

So I made the wrong move. Willow’s relationship with Sophie is indeed terrible.

Sophie furrowed her brows. What is this idiot going to do this time?

“Sophie, you’ve always looked down on me, haven’t you? You’ve always thought of me as a joke!”

Willow snarled.

Sophie didn’t even want to reply to Ysabelle’s accusation.

“So you want to kill someone with a gun, but do you even know how to use one?” Does she really think

that anyone is capable of killing someone?

“Sophie Tanner!” Willow warned, her tone laced with warning.

Even now, she’s still looking down on me!

“Don’t you know that I hate people like you the most? You’re always so full of yourself. You always think

that you’re the best and that no one can compare to you. Who do you think you are? Why do you think

you have the right to look down on me?”

Sophie remained silent.

She didn’t even want to engage in a conversation with an idiot like Willow.

“Why, you say? It’s because you’re an idiot and I’m not!”

Even when Willow was pointing a gun at Sophie’s head, Sophie was still calm and composed.

“Let me give you a piece of advice: Get lost and stop trying to make your presence known.”

Grandpa will probably be worried sick if Willow is sent to jail. He’s old, and he won’t be able to

withstand such a blow. That’s why I made arrangements for him to be sent to the resort.

“Ha. Even now, you’re still being so stubborn. Well, I’ve lost everything now, so I’m going to let you

have a taste of what it’s like to be me!”

Sophie has always looked down on me since we were children. Regardless of everything, I’m going to

teach her a lesson this time!

Meanwhile, Clayton, enduring the pain, climbed to his feet. He then walked over to Willow and said with

a smile, “As expected of my fiancée. You’re still on my side even at a time like this. Do you see this,

Sophie? You’re such a failure in life. Even your own sister wants you dead!”

Clayton had finally regained his confidence at that moment.

“Willa, give me the gun. Don’t worry. I’ll take you away from here. You wanted to live a wealthy life,

right? I’ll give you that too.”

At that, Sophie’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

“What an idiot.”

I really can’t expect anything from Willow. She’s always surprising me in all kinds of unpleasant ways.

“You’re still looking down on me!” Willow shrieked, losing her mind. “I’m going to kill you for this!”

She had been sensitive to the difference between her and Sophie since young. Thus, she had done

everything in her power to earn her parents’ affection and perform well in everything. She did all that to

garner her family’s attention.

“Willow, give me the gun,” Sophie said, knowing that it would be dangerous, for Willow didn’t know how

to use a gun.

“And you! You’ve always wanted to use me, right? You never loved me. Instead, you looked down on

me, too!”

Willow’s fury only grew more intense as she stared at Clayton.

“If you didn’t love me, why would you want to get engaged to me? Don’t you know you’ve humiliated

me?” Willow questioned.

She had been walking on eggshells, trying to get into his good books, but his betrayal was what she

received in return.

Clayton’s face paled when the gun was aimed at him.

“I came today to take you to get our marriage certificate, didn’t I? Don’t listen to her; she’s trying to sow

discord between us. We can get married anytime as long as you say so.”

“Ha! How can a murderer like you possibly be worthy of me? I can’t believe you’re still thinking of

marrying me! Keep dreaming!”

I’ll never marry a murderer!

A dangerous glint flashed past Clayton’s eyes at that.

“Who told you that I’m a murderer? You don’t even have any evidence! How can you say such

nonsense?” Clayton growled out.

There was no way he was going to let others call him a murderer.

It was Sophie’s turn to watch the drama from the side.

So this is how idiots fight against each other.

“Oh, just ignore me. Please carry on.” Really, the two of them can just treat me as if I’m air.

Tristan and Felix were waiting downstairs when a gunshot rang out upstairs.

The two men panicked, and they promptly rushed toward the stairs.

“Mr. Tristan, it’s dangerous. It’s best for you not to go up there!” After finding out about Tristan’s identity,

there was no way the police were going to allow him to risk his life.
