Anything For Her

Chapter 454

Clayton walked up to Willow and grabbed her hair.

“Everything you said is true, but so what? Do you think Sophie will come to save you? Don't forget that you're

enemies with her,” he enunciated.

Willow was overwhelmed by despair upon hearing his words.

Since the man was yanking on her hair, she was forced to tilt her head back.

Tears streamed down her face.

She bit her lip hard, loathing the fact that Sophie was her sister.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be experiencing everything I'm going through today. All this is her fault!

“Change her clothes and take her away!” Clayton ordered his subordinates, releasing his grip on her hair.

“Please wait for a moment, sir!”

Clayton's assistant and bodyguards were all males, but no one was bothered about such a thing right then.

They stepped forward and stripped Willow's pajamas off before donning a dress on her.

At first, Willow put up a fight, but she gradually stopped resisting, for she knew that the more she struggled, the

more she would suffer.

After all, Clayton hadn't the slightest regard for her.

When Willow had finished changing, Clayton strolled over to Charmaine.

“Give me the household registry.”

Charmaine trembled violently, yet she was fully aware that she couldn't possibly hand the household registry over

to him.

If Willow were to really marry him today, her life would be over.

Upon receiving no response from her even after a long time had passed, Clayton grew disgruntled.

“Don't make me repeat myself—give me the household registry. I'm going to register my marriage with Willow now,

so don't waste my time.”

Willow pinned her eyes on Charmaine.

“Mom...”

In response, Charmaine shook her head.

“This is against the law, Clayton. You're forcing someone into marriage.”

“What's the big deal about that? I've even killed someone.”

Charmaine fell silent, not daring to argue further.

How could I allow my daughter to marry a murderer?

“No way. I'm never giving you the household registry even if it means my death.”

Hearing that, Clayton took a deep breath.

“I wanted to be kind, but since you wouldn't give me that opportunity, I'm left with no other choice. Make her hand

over the household registry.”

He didn't want to waste any more time.

Meanwhile, Charmaine kept backing away.

Alas, they would never let her off the hook.

At that precise moment, the police arrived. By then, they had already surrounded the Tanner residence.

“This is bad. The police are here. What should we do?” Wilbur inquired nervously after spotting the police officers

outside.

Relief suffused Charmaine when she heard that the police had arrived.

“D*mn it!” Clayton never expected the police to arrive so quickly.

“You should leave quickly, Clayton. You'll be doomed if you get caught by the police.”

He has got tons of money, so if he leaves now, he can still flee abroad and live a lavish life. But if he gets arrested

by the police, it'll be the end for him.

Seizing Willow, Clayton sneered, “Do you think I can still get away now? Hadn't I told you this? Even if I were to die,

I'd drag you down to hell with me. Sophie caused me to end up in such a pathetic state. Do you think I'd spare her

family?”

“You know full well that she has never regarded me as her family. If she really regards me as her family, would you

have ended up in such a situation today?” Willow found the situation hilarious. He's such a smart person, so why is

he still ignorant to this moment?

“Is that so? Then, let me conduct a test and see exactly how cold-blooded she is.”

I shall see whether she'll turn a blind eye to her family!

“Listen up! We have already surrounded this place. Drop your weapons.”

Charmaine had never seen such a scene, so she was scared out of her wits.

“What are you doing, Clayton? Let Willow go! You're breaking the law!” Glimpsing Clayton's maniacal expression,

Charmaine was truly worried that he would hurt Willow.

“What should we do now?” Wilbur hadn't expected things to end up in such a manner either. Oh God, this is just too

terrifying!

“How would I know?”

Why did the police come? Sophie must have handed the evidence to them. Otherwise, why would they come here

to arrest me at this time?

“How about we go out and explain things to the police? We'll tell them that everything was an accident.” We can't

really murder someone, can we?

“Do you think they'll believe me? All right, stop prattling. Seize them both.”

From the look of things now, I've got no choice but to leave Jipsdale.

“Listen up! You've already been surrounded. Release the hostages at once!” Downstairs, the police were still

shouting.

To Clayton, however, that was no different from a death sentence.

“Go over and close the door!”

The police had no idea about the situation upstairs, so they asked the housekeeper downstairs.

“Officer, Mrs. Tanner and Ms. Tanner are still upstairs. Are they in any danger?”

After the police learned which room the suspect and hostages were in, they plunged into a dilemma.

Ultimately, they were in the dark about the situation in the room. Thus, they were worried about hurting the

hostages if they were to barge in recklessly.

Just then, Yale came home. When he knew what had happened, his face drained of all color.

“Is there some misunderstanding here, officer? Clayton is my soon-to-be son-in-law. There's absolutely no need for

him to kidnap his own fiancée and mother-in-law, no?”

Even then, he still couldn't believe the truth that was right in front of his eyes.

“Your soon-to-be son-in-law is a murderer, yet you find him satisfactory!” the police officer scoffed.

Does he think he can do whatever he pleases just because he has money? Dream on! As long as someone has

violated the law, we'll bring him to justice no matter how long it takes!

“What?”

Yale was entirely floored.

He then stammered, “Then, what should we do now?”

“We'll send someone to negotiate with the suspect.” The most important thing now is to save the hostages, then

apprehend the suspect.

Yale was exceedingly worried that things would go awry. Besides, he was a rather cowardly person. Hence, he

phoned Sophie.

“Something bad has happened at home, Sophie! Hurry up and come back!”

At that moment, the only person in the family he could rely on seemed to be Sophie alone.

After hanging up the phone, Sophie got to her feet. Seeing that, Mark queried in concern, “What's wrong? Did

something happen? I'll go with you!”

“No, it's okay. Just continue rehearsing. I've got to make a trip home.”

Considering the matter in question, he won't be able to help anyway. Furthermore, there might even be

unnecessary complications because he's highly popular right now.

“I want to go with you, Sophie!”

No matter what it is, I want to face it with her.

“There's just a bit of a problem at home, Mark. It's really inappropriate for you to tag along. That aside, there might

even be reporters there right now.”

Truly, it isn't appropriate for him to go with me.

“All right, then.”

Subsequently, Sophie drove Sunny's car back to the Tanner residence.

When Yale caught sight of Sophie, he felt as though he had seen his savior.
