Changing Only For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 329

Chapter 329

“Clayton, we don't need to be scared. If you like her, you can make her yours even if she is Mr. Tristan's woman.”

Wilbur was, naturally, terrified of Tristan too.

After all, the mere mention of Tristan's name was intimidating enough. There was no way he wouldn't be scared of Tristan.

“Is that so?” Clayton glanced at his assistant. Is he trying to get me in trouble?

He continued, “It wouldn't be a problem if she comes with us of her own free will, but do you think Mr. Tristan will let the matter slide if you force Sophie to come with us?” Why am I always surrounded by incompetent people? What a good-for-nothing.

Wilbur kept mum, not daring to say anything else.

I should just shut up. After all, we would suffer too if we make Mr. Zales upset.

However, unbeknownst to Clayton, those actions of his would once again bring him bad luck and keep him busy for a long while.

Sophie didn't feel like dealing with the man face to face, but she had countless tricks up her sleeve to cause him misery behind his back.

Amusingly, Clayton still had no idea what was going on even when he was about to be tormented by Sophie. It was pathetic of him.

As they headed outside, Ysabelle grabbed Sophie's arm. “Sophie, this man is way out of line. I can see that he has ill intentions. Should we tell Uncle Tristan about this?”

Clayton had a nasty reputation in Jipsdale. He would do anything in his power to get the things he wanted. Countless women had already suffered at his hands.

Ysabelle went on, “It's evident that he's targeting The Wheelers, and they're going to release their new album soon. It would be hard for things to go smoothly if Clayton pulls the strings from behind.”

Since Uncle Tristan and Sophie are in a relationship now, it's no big deal for her to ask for Uncle Tristan's help, right?

“Ysabelle, you've been really smart lately,” Sophie joked as she caressed her friend's head.

“Sophie, I'm being serious, okay? Clayton is not an easy man to deal with. He has many dirty tricks up his sleeves. I know you are a capable woman, but we are nothing compared to someone like him.”

Some people preferred to deal with their enemies behind their backs instead of going up against them straightforwardly. That was what made them so terrifying.

Sophie chuckled when she saw how worried Ysabelle was. “I'm serious, Ysabelle. You don't need to worry about these things. I don't care if they do something to me behind my back or to my face. Either way, I'm not scared, okay? Don't worry!”

It was impossible for Ysabelle to relax. She retorted, “Sophie, why are you being so difficult? Listen to me, okay? Let Uncle Tristan handle this. He will definitely be able to deal with it. You have to believe in him. Now that he is your boyfriend, how can you not ask him to help you? I know you are an independent girl, but it's okay to rely on your boyfriend once in a while.”

Besides that, I'm sure Uncle Tristan would want Sophie to rely on him.

“Ysabelle, to me, having a boyfriend does not mean I have to depend on him. Plus, this is something that I can handle. Why would I want to trouble him? He already has his hands full.”

Ysabelle didn't know how to explain the situation to Sophie upon hearing the latter's words.

Does she have to be so rational while being in a relationship?

“Sophie, can I ask you a question?”

“Ask away!”

“Do you really fancy Uncle Tristan? No, wait. Do you really love him?”

If Sophie really loved Tristan, she wouldn't have considered herself a trouble to Tristan.

“I do.” Sophie had nothing to hide, for she really did love Tristan.

Ysabelle was confused. “Your way of being in love is different from the people around me.”

“Ysabelle, you've never been in a relationship before. How do you know how it feels to be in love? People have different personalities, so their way of loving one another naturally varies.” Even though dating Tristan was Sophie's first official relationship as well, she didn't see anything wrong with how she handled it.

“All right, then,” Ysabelle gave in. After all, she had never been in a relationship before.

The two of them got into Mark's car.

When Sunny saw Sophie, he asked worriedly, “Sophie, are you okay? You don't have to compromise for us. We don't want to be a burden to you. We are not afraid even if Clayton wants to do something to us. However, if anything happens to you, we'll feel bad for the rest of our lives!”

Clayton was a vile man, and there was nothing that he wouldn't do. Besides, the look in his eyes when he stared at Sophie was too aggressive.

“Sunny, I'm fine. You can relax! He wouldn't dare to do anything to me. He doesn't have the time to do anything to me either.”

Knowing that they were worried about her, Sophie patiently explained the situation to them, which was something she seldom did.

After a long moment of silence, Mark spoke. “Sophie, you don't have to hold back for us, okay? We're not afraid even if we lose everything.”

The Wheelers were aware of Clayton's character after working under him for a long time.

Sophie said, “It seems like Clayton had traumatized you guys. However, you guys can relax. I won't hold back because of you. I will only become stronger for your sake!”

Sophie was satisfied with her current state.

If this had happened in the past, she would be helpless when her friends were bullied.

However, it was different now. At present, Sophie could confidently tell her friends that she could protect them while keeping herself safe and unscathed at the same time.

“Why don't you send us back to Wisteria Apartments first?” It was late, and it was pointless to go for night tuition since it would end in another half an hour.

Mark then personally drove them back to Wisteria Apartments. After they reached the underground parking lot, Sophie and Ysabelle got off.

“Okay. You guys can head home now. Rest early. We'll be busy for the next couple of weeks, so you guys better prepare yourselves mentally.”

Even though Sophie didn't want to be a capitalist, one had to work at a fast pace in the entertainment industry, for newcomers tended to replace old-timers rapidly.

“Sophie, you got to remember this. If Clayton comes looking for you, you have to let us know. No matter what happens, we will protect you!”

Sophie was the only woman in The Wheelers. She was like a kid sister to them, and they treated her like a princess. None of them wished to see her getting hurt.

Sophie was exasperated, for she didn't understand why they didn't trust her after everything she said.

“Okay. I got it. If anything happens, I will call you guys.” Is this answer enough to satisfy them?

“All right.” Sunny finally felt relieved upon hearing Sophie's response.

Mark remarked, “Go on into the elevator first. Call us once you step into the apartment, and we'll leave after that.”

“Okay.” Sophie didn't object as she went up with Ysabelle.

When they got upstairs and entered the unit, they found Tristan sitting on the couch. On the tabletop was the takeout he ordered.
