Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 419

Unable to keep her thoughts to herself any longer, Charmaine asked Yale, “Do you think Clayton harbors ulterior motives? Does he truly want to marry our Willow?”

I can't help feeling uneasy. No matter how I look at it, Clayton doesn't seem to have feelings for Willow at all.

“What's with that wild imagination of yours? Regardless of how terrible the Zales are, they're still an upper-class family. What could they possibly want with Willow? For goodness' sake, stop letting your imagination run away with you. No matter how much Mr. Tristan likes Sophie, he isn't willing to marry her. Isn't that as clear as day now that Mr. Zales and Willow are getting engaged?” he replied. That'll be the pride of our family, and I'll be able to hold my head high in the future.

After a brief pause, he continued, “To be honest, I thought at first that Willow had lost. After all, Mr. Tristan never paid any attention to anyone. But now that I've seen how he treats Sophie—the way he keeps hiding and being secretive about their relationship—it clearly shows he's only fooling around. Wealthy men are all the same.”

It's a joke to think that one can get into a serious relationship with these capitalists. As long as we can gain something from them, that's enough. There's really no need to care about other things.

“Is that really how it is?” Charmaine was still a little worried. Nonetheless, now that Willow had her heart set on being with Clayton, she knew it would be pointless for her to say anything more.

Clayton's and Willow's engagement ceremony was widely reported in the media. Naturally, that was partly Clayton's doing.

As for Willow, she basked in the widespread attention and did not feel he was using her in the slightest.

Meanwhile, Josiah flew into a rage when he found out about it.

“Morgan, call Yale and tell him to bring Willow back immediately!” he roared. No matter what, Willow is still my granddaughter. How is it that I'm completely in the dark about her engagement? I can tell that Clayton Zales isn't a decent person. How could she get engaged to a man with ill intentions like him?

“I'll go and call him now. Just be careful not to get so upset that it affects your health,” said Morgan.

Getting mad now won't do any good and will only be detrimental to his health. Ms. Willow has always been like this. She has always dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family without ever considering the consequences.
