Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

chapter 201

Chapter 201 Not Joking
“Don’t worry. No one will get to harm her,” Mark could only comfort Sunny.
“If Mr. Tristan dares to bully her, I will show him the consequences even if I have to sacrifice my life in the process,” Sunny said while wearing a poker face.
“Hmm.” Presumably, Mark’s silence was an implicit acknowledgment of Sunny’s words.
Sophie was quiet on the way back. She leaned back in the seat with her eyes closed to get some rest.
“What’s wrong?”
Is she reluctant for me to interfere in this matter? However, Clayton is a ruthless man. I do not want her to have too many interactions with him.
“Nothing. I am very grateful for your help.” Sophie was not an ungracious person, after all. It was Tristan who was overthinking the situation.
“Okay.”
Tristan fell silent afterward. After the car was parked in the underground garage, and Sophie was about to get off the vehicle, he suddenly grabbed her hand.
Puzzled, she turned her head around to look at him.
He merely lowered his head, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her for a long while.
Rendered out of breath because of his passionate kiss, Sophie gazed at him in bafflement.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing.”
Tristan could not help but sigh. It was too difficult for him to figure out what was going on in her mind, so he felt at a loss.
Huh, I wonder what is in her mind.
“Okay. I’ll head upstairs then. You should go back now.” She was genuinely exhausted and in need of sleep after dealing with Clifford.
“All right. Go on.”

The end-of-semester exam had also ended, so she could get some good rest in the upcoming days.
Sophie finally got out of the car and returned to Wisteria Apartments. On the other hand, Tristan sat inside the vehicle for some time before activating the car engine and leaving.
The following day, Mark’s agent, Jonathan Zales, met with Clayton in person.
Clayton was busy in the past two days because the hacker infiltrated Zales Corporation’s system.
His face darkened when he saw Jonathan appearing at the headquarters.
“You better have a good reason for coming here.” Although The Wheelers was generating a lot of profit for the company, Mark had not been an easy person to deal with, so Clayton was not fond of the latter.
“Clay, the thing is, Sunny’s hand got injured because of this incident. Therefore, Mark and the others decided to terminate the contract with the company.”
“Terminate the contract? Are you kidding me? The Wheelers flourished and attained their current success under my leadership. They are finally making a profit now, yet they wish to terminate their contract. What are you all thinking? Have your brains gone haywire?”
“Clay, isn’t it better for us to part on good terms since you despise Mark anyway. What do you hope to achieve by keeping The Wheelers within your control?” Jonathan had stayed by the band’s side from its establishment, so he knew how outrageous Clayton had treated them.
“Part on good terms? Jonathan, you’ve stayed by my side for so long, yet you dare say something like that? Don’t you feel that you are such a clown?”
Jonathan kept quiet.
“Clay, What are your conditions to allow The Wheelers to terminate the contract?” Jonathan had decided to stick with The Wheelers in the future.
He had guided that group of teenagers and genuinely cared about them since the band’s formation. Besides, he also firmly believed The Wheelers would have a bright future ahead in the music industry.
Therefore, he must side with The Wheelers no matter what.
“I will not consent to the contract termination, but since they are acting rebellious, all their ongoing albums and related projects will be temporarily paused to allow them some time to reflect on their actions.”
It was obvious to Jonathan that Clayton had decided to blacklist The Wheelers.
“Do all of you think you’re very successful now? Regrettably, I will not let you all do as you please while I’m still in charge.” Clayton snorted coldly.
Jonathan’s face darkened, but he did not dare to act up in front of Clayton.
“Clay—”
Before he could finish the rest of his sentence, Clayton dismissed him.
“That’s enough. You can leave now. Don’t bug me with this matter ever again.”
Clayton had indeed been caught up in a bad mood recently.
Jonathan wanted to speak further, but Clayton’s assistant entered at that moment and whispered beside Clayton’s ear, prompting the latter’s facial expression to change drastically.
“F*ck! Who is that? Did I spend tens of millions on hiring those cyber security specialists to sit around and do nothing?”
What a bunch of trash!
Zales Corporation’s system was hacked again, not to mention some of their classified information had been stolen.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you the best hacker?”
The cyber security specialist did not dare to make a sound as Clayton chided him.
The cyber security specialist had been receiving an annual salary of over tens of millions from Zales Corporation, but that was the first time he had encountered such a troublesome hacker as that unknown hacker had been toying with him the whole time.
“Clay, they are too formidable, so there is really nothing I can do.”
“Get lost!”
Clayton was unwilling to listen to the cyber security specialist’s nonsense at that moment.
