Chapter 343
There might not have been any evidence to back those accusations up previously, but this time, there
was a video of Sunny hitting someone.
When Xandra woke up early in the morning, she initially planned to execute her public relations plan,
only to come across that video.
Thus, she had no other choice but to drop everything in hand and phone Sophie at once.
“What's going on, Sophie?” Right then, the video of Sunny hitting someone was trending on various
major video streaming websites. Many of The Wheelers' fans had also gone silent, utterly disappointed
in their idol.
“I'm already at the office. Come to the conference room.” After going back that night, Sophie only slept
for a while.
When Xandra arrived at the conference room, she saw that Sophie was already there.
“How's Sunny?”
“He's severely injured and will have to stay in the hospital for quite some time.”
“Jeez, he really shouldn't have been so impulsive and created such a mess at this critical juncture.”
Sheer exasperation inundated Xandra.
“There's no use saying such things now. The only thing we can do is to figure out a way to minimize the
damage.”
“I know.” I can only halt the initial plan for public relations, or it'll become a forced whitewashing in the
eyes of fans.
“I'll send you some information later. I have faith in your capabilities.”
That remark had Xandra feeling very much helpless.
“Since you've already said as much, can I gainsay you?” Seeing that I've already allied myself with her,
I've got no choice but to travel down the path to the very end.
Meanwhile, Jonathan had also arrived at the company. When he learned that Sophie was in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtconference room, he instantly headed over to seek her out.
“Clayton contacted me, Ms. Tanner.”
“Hmm?”
What else does he want for him to contact Jonathan at such a time?
“He wants to see you.”
Jonathan knew that he shouldn't allow Sophie to meet with Clayton, but there was really no other way
then.
“Just ignore him, Sophie. I can handle this,” Xandra declared confidently.
“Set up an appointment with him.”
Even if he hadn't sought me out, I would've sought him out. Since he made a move against someone
close to me, I'll never let this matter slide!
“Sophie.” Xandra shot Sophie a disapproving look. Clayton is downright reprehensible, so she'd only be
on the losing end if she were to meet with him.
“Don't worry, for I'll be fine.”
Conversely, Sophie didn't fear Clayton at all.
Clayton set the venue of the meeting at an exceedingly refined café.
He was positive that Sophie would agree to meet him, so he had been waiting there eons ago.
As soon as he spotted her, he got up from his seat with a bright smile on his face.
To be honest, she's indeed a stunning beauty. No wonder Tristan likes her. Even I am a touch
enthralled by the sight of her!
Striding over, Sophie pulled out a chair and sat down.
“In truth, Sophie, I didn't want to see things getting to this. Sunny was really too impulsive. Anyway, I
was only defending myself. Are you sure you want to invest so much money into such a band? I'm
genuinely worried on your behalf,” Clayton remarked sincerely.
“What do you mean?” At that moment, Sophie was gripped by the urge to pin him to the ground and
pummel him to death. Still, she was calm and unruffled on the surface. I shall see what trick he's up to
since he specially asked me out.
“Well, here's what I think. Since you want to have some fun in the entertainment industry, why don't we
team up?”
As long as she's willing to collaborate with me, all the problems The Wheelers are facing right now will
no longer be of any issue. Seeing as I've got the capability of making such a fuss, I'm naturally capable
of suppressing everything. Right now, it all hinges on her choice. In all honesty, The Wheelers can
really make money. How could I possibly be willing to lose such a profitable band?
“How do you want to team up?”
At that question from Sophie, triumph flooded Clayton. Sure enough, she's still a little girl! Now that she
has encountered such a problem, she must be at a total loss. As expected, she's willing to collaborate
with me obediently.
“It's simple. Sky Media acquires your company, and I'll give you ten percent of the shares.”
Hearing that, Sophie couldn't help sneering. He really takes me for a fool, huh?
Her motive in meeting him that day was to teach him a lesson, so she asserted, “You shouldn't have
treated Sunny in such a manner, Clayton. I'd never team up with you. But I'm very much interested in
the acquisition proposal you mentioned. How about this? If you go on your knees and beg me now, I'll
begrudgingly acquire Sky Media.”
Clayton had never expected her to answer in such a way. When he had gathered his wits about him, he
scoffed, “Have you never heard that the real world is dangerous, little girl? To be this arrogant, do you
even have the capabilities to back it up? And you say you want to acquire Sky Media?”
How delusional of her!
“You can regard it as a joke, but let me tell you that you'll soon learn I'm not messing around with you.”
Sophie stood up from her seat. Then, she continued, “Anyway, that's something for the future. I only
came today to help Sunny teach you a lesson. No one had ever managed to escape unscathed after
having made a move against someone around me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn response, Clayton inexorably snorted. “Hah! And here I thought Tristan liked someone utterly
extraordinary, but you turned out to be nothing special, merely looking pleasing to the eyes.”
She wants to deal with me? Even Tristan doesn't dare utter such an arrogant statement!
Sophie then marched toward him.
“Defending yourself? Are you kidding me? You almost beat Sunny to death, yet you're telling me that
you were merely defending yourself!”
Walking right up to him, she pushed him hard.
Again, Clayton hadn't anticipated her to be so violent that she would get physical with him.
He stumbled back a step from the force.
Following that, he frowned dangerously as he stared at Sophie in front of him.
“Why, do you also want to get laid up at the hospital for a week?” At long last, he no longer acted civilly
with her.
So what if she's beautiful? Does she really think that I'd indulge her?
“Come, let's fight!” Sophie was unbelievably haughty when she said that.
However, that was her true self.
“You're sure you want to fight with me?” I've never fought with a woman, to be honest.
Flexing her wrists, Sophie hooked a finger at the man.
“Cut the crap and just fight me.” Ugh! I hate all this yakking.
Clayton didn't bother taking the woman before him seriously.
Unexpectedly, Sophie threw him over her shoulder as soon as she made her move. That aside, she
didn't hold back at all, for he felt as though all the bones in his body had shattered.
Only then did he realize that she was serious.
He climbed up from the ground, his gaze turning frightfully menacing. Since she wants to play, I won't
show her any mercy!
“I hope you don't regret it.” Today, I'm going to teach her a lesson in humility. Otherwise, someone else
will deal with her sooner or later if she continues acting so condescending.
