Chapter 1066 Righting the Wrong
Did he think that by doing this, I’d be angry? I-I…
Fine! I am angry! Charles was a little dispirited as he slouched and radiated a self-deprecating aura. He couldn’t do anything about these two people. One of them was the love of his life while the other was his rival.
Now that they were together and publicly showing affection, he couldn’t go up and pull the two apart just because he felt uncomfortable.
After all, they were already a couple, and he was just an outsider. hinking of this, Charles took a deep breath before turning around to look away. When Toby noticed this, victory instantly flashed across his eyes.
It was true. He did it on purpose. He was deliberately trying to provoke Charles to the point of anger. Who told him to talk so much and tried to go against Toby?
It would be out of character for him not to seek vengeance.
Sonia wasn’t aware of what he was thinking, but when she saw Charles turning away because of them, she was filled with embarrassment.
It was because this meant that all the flirting between her and Toby was seen by Charles.
And the fact that Charles liked her, for her to flirt with another man in front of him, was undoubtedly like a stab in his heart.
Therefore, she needed to put an end to this now.
She patted Toby’s arm while glaring at him with feigned anger. “Okay, enough.”
As she said this, she gestured over at Charles, who was playing his game with his back facing them with a loud volume.
This was her way of telling Toby that Charles was here and that they shouldn’t act like this.
However, Toby did not care if Charles saw them being intimate or not and he even wished that Charles did.
This was to show how good Toby and Sonia’s relationship was.
Toby was even more delighted, especially when he had the chance to prove it in front of Charles.
But seeing that Sonia didn’t want to do it, he could only give in. Instead of teasing her further, he sat back down on his seat. “Okay, I will behave.”
On the other end of the phone, although Tom couldn’t see what was going on nor did he know what the two did, he could easily guess from what he had heard.
There had to be other people around. Toby must have tried to be coquettish with Sonia, but was rejected by her because she was considerate of whoever was present.
That should be the case.
As for who the other person was, Tom had some guesses.
The two protagonists in this incident were Sonia and Charles.
Naturally, he would be the one at her place.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. It’s a battlefield over there.
Tom was placing the puzzle pieces together in his mind when he heard Toby’s next instruction. “After collecting the evidence, find a good lawyer. I don’t want her to just sit in prison. I want her to lose all her wealth.”
Toby had accentuated his words accordingly.
Tom naturally understood what Toby meant as he pushed his glasses up again. “All right, Mr. Fuller. Don’t worry, I will arrange it accordingly. But what about the fatso’s money? What are we going to do about it?”
Then, Toby turned to Sonia.
She lowered her eyes as she pondered before her eyes suddenly lit up, seeming like she had thought of something. “Since you’ve said that this person had taken advantage of others in the past, deliberately fabricated fake news, and destroyed the lives of many, distribute the money to those people that were harmed by him according to the severity of the damage he had done. Treat it as compensation from Mitch. This is something he should pay for.”
Tom heard everything she said on the phone and praised her without hesitation, “Miss Reed, that’s an amazing idea.”
However, Toby snorted. “You don’t have to tell her that.”
When Tom heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he was instantly speechless.
He had thrown his flattery without expecting anything.
He just thought that her idea was good and was sincerely admiring her. That was why he subconsciously said those words.
As a result, he didn’t know that he had robbed Toby of the opportunity to flatter Sonia.
Tom sighed; his heart was starting to hurt.
Sonia immediately understood his silence and smiled. “Alright, Toby. Don’t scare Tom.”
He immediately started nodding again.
Exactly! He was so worried that he was very cautious with his words, fearing that he might offend Toby.
Seeing that she was helping Tom speak, Toby pursed his thin lips and lowered his gaze before saying in a lowered voice, “Okay, I won’t scare him anymore.”
Since Sonia had defended Tom, Toby wouldn’t take it out on him in front of her.
However, Tom would need to watch his back after he returned to Fuller Group.
Although Tom wasn’t aware of this, Toby had secretly made a note in his mind. Tom constantly thanked Sonia on the phone, “Thank you, Miss Reed. Thank you so much.”
If it weren’t for her help, who knew how a meticulous man like Toby would deal with Tom?
“You don’t need to thank me. All right now, you two can get back to business.” Sonia was embarrassed by the number of thanks she had received from Tom.
She felt that she did not do much other than say a few words.
Tom really did not have to thank her so much as she didn’t deserve it.
“Okay, Miss Reed,” Tom said before suppressing his emotions and returning to his serious business persona. “President Fuller, since we’re dealing with the fatso this way, what about Squirrel Media?”
When Sonia heard this, she immediately looked at Toby. “Oh, by the way, I don’t care what you’re going to do to Squirrel Media, but Noah was the one who helped me get the recording. I promised him I would help him get a job in Fuller Group. I—”
“I got it.” Toby nodded, then spoke into the phone, “Did you hear that?”
“I did. Don’t worry, Miss Reed. I’ll take care of this,” Tom replied with a smile.
Seeing that her request had been agreed upon, she let out a sigh of relief. Then, she smiled with a little embarrassment at Toby. “Sorry, I was dead set on finding out who did this at that time, so I promised such a thing. I hope it will not cause you any trouble.”
Toby frowned when he heard this. “It’s just a trivial matter, so why would it trouble me? And like I said, I will never object to whatever you want to do. So, you don’t have to think that the things you do might trouble me. On the contrary, it bothers me that you think this way.”
Sonia understood what he meant as she smiled. “I’m sorry, I won’t think like this in the future anymore.”
“That’s right.” He stroked her hair before his expression changed and spoke into the phone coldly, “Other than the secretary, those who are innocent will be transferred to another company while those who played a role in this will be fired.”
This implied that he had taken over Squirrel Media.
Tom nodded immediately. “Okay, President Fuller.”
“Have you followed up on the others that had hopped onto the bandwagon and added fuel to the fire?” Toby asked again with narrowed eyes.
Tom pushed his glasses. “I’ve looked into it. There are a total of 12 media companies. These media aren’t a big deal. Seeing that we have not stepped in to deal with it since the morning, it might snowball into something bigger. So, thinking that you are really breaking up with Miss Reed, they all wanted a piece of the pie. However, there are media that are still silently watching and didn’t make a move.”
Hearing this, Toby snorted. “Take care of all these cacophony media. Whoever spreads the article means that they support the enemy. Since they have cast the spotlight on themselves, why not show them what we can do? This will show as a warning to those that are silently lurking in the shadows.”
“Okay,” Tom replied.
