Changing Only For Her - Season 5 Episode 45

“Too much? Are you sure you want to discuss this matter with me here, Mr. Zales?”

Sophie shot a threatening glare at Clayton, causing the latter to stop talking immediately. At present, he had no idea what kind of evidence Sophie had in her possession that claimed that he had killed someone.

If she really had any substantial evidence, it would be very unfavorable to him as there were many reporters there.

“Forget it. I’m not talking to you anymore.”

Not having the guts to act boorishly, Clayton was determined to flee as quickly as possible.

“Hold on!”

However, Sophie stopped him from leaving.

Clayton stopped in his tracks, wondering why she had suddenly told him to stay put.

“Mr. Zales, is this how you behave in front of others? You were threatening my staff just now. Don’t you think you owe them an apology?”

The reporters had been here for quite some time.

In the past, they had suffered quite a lot due to Clayton’s extreme arrogance. Thus, when they saw Clayton behaving docilely in front of Sophie, they felt pleased and satisfied.

“Indeed! Mr. Zales, the security staff were merely doing their job. It’s only fair that you apologize for threatening them just now!”

“That’s right! You can’t ignore their feelings!”

All of a sudden, the reporters began chiming in. When Clayton swept his gaze across them, they pretended as if they didn’t notice it and continued speaking what was on their minds.

They paid him no heed at all.

At that juncture, he finally realized what it felt like to lose his dignity and power in someone else’s territory.

“Are you sure you want to kick up a huge fuss, Sophie?”

“What’s there to be unsure about? Hurry up and apologize! I’ve other matters to attend to. I don’t need to waste my time with you here!”

Sophie glanced at the time on her phone’s screen as she had a lunch appointment with Richie as well.

Clayton was at a loss for words.

He was on the verge of losing his temper, for he had never suffered such humiliation before.

“I’m sorry!”

Since there were so many reporters around, he could not afford to offend Sophie at that moment.

Thus, the only thing he could do was apologize.

“It’s not me that you’re supposed to apologize to.” Didn’t I make myself clear just now? Or does he have difficulty understanding my words?

“Gentlemen, I apologize for being too rash today.”

The reporters were dumbfounded.

That was the very first time they had seen Clayton behave in such a submissive way.

When did Clayton become so timid? He had always been the high and mighty Clayton Zales! Ms. Sophie sure is amazing! I can’t believe she could actually subdue Clayton!

“Remember, I won’t let anyone bully or harm my men,” Sophie said coldly.

The security guards were very moved by her words.

Even though they had been working as a security guard for quite some time, that was the first time they were regarded with great importance by their boss.

They were determined to work harder in the future so as not to let Sophie down.

As soon as Sophie finished her sentence, she walked away in a cool and chic manner, leaving Clayton with a grim expression on his face.

The reporters ignored the man and were elated because they would have something interesting to write about that day.

At night, Willow’s expression darkened terribly after she read the news.

She then tore the newspaper into shreds.

“Don’t be like this, Willa. You know the reporters love to write about nonsense every time.”

“Mom, Sophie obviously knows Clayton is my fiancé, but she completely disrespected him! This is a huge slap to my face!”

The situation put Charmaine in a difficult position as well.

“You know well that Soph doesn’t bother about giving respect to others. Don’t dwell too much about it, okay?”

Willow clenched her fists tightly.

“How could she do this?”

Charmaine knew Willow was upset, but at this moment, she genuinely didn’t know how to comfort her daughter.

It was a society where the strong preyed on the weak, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Meanwhile, Clayton was panicking.

At present, a few people from different departments were closely monitoring him. There was no way for him to try any funny business.

Willow, who came to visit him, was concerned upon seeing the look on his face.

“Are you all right, Clayton? Did you run into some kind of trouble? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have to submit to Sophie!”

He was acting differently than usual.

Truth be told, Clayton was indeed exhausted.

“Do you really like me, Willow?” Clayton suddenly asked her. At that point in time, no one stood by his side or supported him.

Willow took the initiative to hug the man.

“Don’t worry, Clayton! No matter what happens to you in the future, I’ll always be by your side.” Willow decided to go all out.

Regardless of what happened, he was her only hope.

Naturally, she would not give up on him.

Besides, is Sophie really that powerful? Is she even capable of taking down Clayton?

After hearing her confession, Clayton hugged her tightly.

“Yes. You’re the only one by my side right now. Willow, I know that you’re not exactly on good terms with Sophie, but would you please beg her for my sake?”

Willow didn’t know what to say.

“What do you mean by that, Clayton? Why do we have to beg her?” Willow was utterly perplexed.

“She has some dirt on me! She has been threatening me, and that’s why I’ve been like this. Will you look down on me because of that?”

“What kind of dirt does she have on you, Clayton? Is it serious?”

She was sure that even if she were to curry favor with Sophie, the latter would still not bother to entertain her.

“Yes, it’s serious. So, if you really want us to get married, you must beg her! You’re sisters, aren’t you? I’m sure she’ll show you some respect, right?”

After coming out from Zales Corporation, Willow was still in a daze.

Does this mean Clayton is trying to use me to deal with Sophie? But… am I really capable of doing so? Sophie will definitely mock me if I go looking for her right now! How can I possibly do that? But I might lose this last chance if I don’t try.

Willow waited patiently at the entrance of Wisteria Apartments since she knew Sophie wouldn’t come out even if she called her.

At half past ten that night, she finally saw Tristan’s car.

Then, she dashed out and stopped in front of the car.

Sophie furrowed her brows as she looked at Willow, who was standing outside the car.

Why is she here again? Can’t she just behave herself for a bit? What’s the point of her coming here in the first place?

Tristan glanced at Sophie and asked, “Do you want to have a chat with her?”

Sophie shook her head and replied, “I don’t like her.”

Indeed, Sophie disliked Willow to the point where she truly hated the latter’s guts. There was no need for her to waste time on people whom she despised.

Tristan slammed on the brakes hard after Willow dashed out suddenly, so the car came to a stop not far away from her.

Nonetheless, he stepped on the gas again, and the car continued to move forward.

Willow did not expect Tristan to continue driving even when she was standing right in front of the car. Is he trying to run me over?

Upon noticing the car was about to hit her, Willow dodged it before chasing after it.

“What do you think you’re doing, Sophie?”
