Anything For Her

Lorelei began to panic when she saw Clayton walking toward them, for she knew he disliked how she

always caused a scene in public. The fact that Lorelei got so much attention did not help with the

situation she was in either.

“What’s going on? Didn’t I ask you to wait for me here? How did it end up like this?” With so many

people surrounding them, Clayton realized that keeping a low profile was no longer an option.

“Clayton, I didn’t do it on purpose. We’re only arguing because she secretly took photos of me. Now

she’s pulling my hair and refusing to let me go,” explained Lorelei pitifully.

“Are you guys seeing this? It’s really Clayton! I knew he and Lorelei had a thing going on. Do you

believe me now?”

“It is him! I didn’t trust the media before because they didn’t have solid proof. Gosh, I can’t believe what

I’m seeing now! Clayton is a tycoon in the entertainment industry, and being with the man probably

means a bright future awaiting Lorelei.”

“You’re right. If you ask me, the two are a match made in heaven!”

Lorelei was more than glad when she heard the discussion. I knew it! Clayton and I are meant for each other, and everybody seems to think so too.

At that moment, Clayton could not help noticing how Sophie had raised her eyebrow when she looked

at others. Even though the young woman did not do it deliberately, it was hard for anyone to ignore it.

When Lorelei caught Clayton looking at Sophie, she quickly grabbed the man’s hand.

“What are you looking at?” questioned Lorelei jealously.

“Missy, did you really take pictures of Lorelei? If so, delete them, and we’ll call it even.” Although

Clayton thought Sophie was outstandingly good-looking, he had better things to do and would rather

not waste more of his time.

“What makes you think I want to call it even? Ms. Crawford here not only slandered me but also broke

my phone, so I believe you two owe me an explanation.”

“How would you like to be compensated then? With a new phone?” inquired Clayton nonchalantly.

“Not just that. I want an apology from Ms. Crawford. Everybody here heard how she accused me of

secretly taking photos of her. Then, I must still have the pictures on my phone. If that’s not the case, it’s

only right that she apologizes to me, no?”

After listening to Sophie, Clayton immediately became more interested in the young lady. It looks like she’s not the kind who’d go down without a fight.

“What are you going on about? You’re just trying to hook up with Clayton because he’s rich and

handsome. Trust me. You’re not the first to try.” Lorelei despised Sophie because she thought she had

the young woman all figured out.

Sophie instinctively frowned at Lorelei after hearing that. Are all female artists this insufferable these days? Does she seriously think every woman in the world is out to steal her boyfriend? It’s not like he’s the most attractive man on earth.

“I think Lorelei is right. This young woman is obviously trying to hook up with Clayton because of how

rich and handsome he is.”

“Are all young women this desperate these days?”

“If that’s the case, I’d say this young woman is a pretty crafty one. She knew she’d be able to find

Clayton by stalking Lorelei. That’s really scary!”

“Women these days are all the same. They’ll gladly spread their legs in bed as long as the other party

is rich enough.”

The crowd’s discussion only served to boost Lorelei’s confidence. It seems I’m not the only one who thinks that way. Everybody here agrees with me.

“I’m tired, Clayton. Let’s leave,” pleaded Lorelei with puppy-dog eyes because she would rather not

give anyone a chance to get close to Clayton.

“How can we leave when we haven’t resolved this matter yet?” questioned Clayton rhetorically with his

eyes still fixed on Sophie.

“Come on, Clayton.” Lorelei started to get nervous again. Why is he even listening to a stranger? Has he fallen for her?

Clayton went over to pick up the phone from the ground and intended to check if photos of Lorelei were

on it. However, he could not turn on the device since it was already broken.

Clayton shrugged helplessly before saying, “I’m not sure how we’re going to prove your innocence

since there’s no way to turn on the phone. What do you say we call it even?”

Then, Sophie approached the man to take her phone, and as he said, the device was no longer

working.

Seeing how things had come to that, Lorelei was relieved. She has no choice but to accept her fate now. ”As I said, I’m not pressing charges, so we’re done here. Let’s go, Clayton. It’s freezing out here.”

“That’s why Lorelei’s so popular. What a forgiving person she is!”

“That’s true. The young woman is obviously at fault here, yet she had the audacity to raise her voice.”

“Do you guys think she’s trying to gain attention by causing a scene just because she knows she’s

pretty? After all, Lorelei is a celebrity who has the attention of countless people. She probably knew

she was bound to be noticed if she got Lorelei involved.”

“That has to be it. Who does this young woman think she is to bully Lorelei!”

“Forget about it, Clayton. She’s just a young woman, after all. Let’s put this behind us.” Lorelei thought

she did a pretty good job portraying herself as a forgiving person.

“What a hypocrite!” cursed Sophie, which was not something she would do lightly.

“How dare you…” Lorelei did not expect Sophie to call her that. She wanted to retaliate, but since the

crowd was still around, she decided to swallow her words. Lorelei then gave Clayton a pitiful look

before turning back to Sophie. “I know you think Clayton’s incredibly attractive, but you can’t keep

harassing us like this. I’m the one he loves, so I’m afraid you’ll have to find someone else.”

When Lorelei finished speaking, she turned to look at Clayton. She was delighted that the man did not

disagree with her. Even though he doesn’t say it, I’m sure he loves me. Otherwise, he would’ve corrected me.

“What makes you think I have any interest in him? He’s not even worthy of my time.”

“You can’t be serious. Don’t you know who he is? Just ask anybody here, and I bet they’ll have no

trouble telling you his name.” Lorelei was confident that everyone in Jipsdale knew who Clayton was.

Immediately, the crowd began discussing among themselves again. They thought Sophie was

shameless and could not believe that she did not know Clayton. The man is mentioned in the newspaper more frequently than any artist!

At that moment, Tristan finally drove over and saw the crowd surrounding Sophie. After parking his car

by the roadside, he approached the scene.
