Chapter 1108 The Fear of Lynette
Sonia extended her beautiful slender fingers. Seeing this, Toby reached out and held her hand before squeezing it gently with hints of teasing. Sonia, who noted what the man was doing, stared at him.
This b*stard. Taking advantage of me whenever he can. Their actions were witnessed by the girl, who became excited again. Oh my, they’ve started again! They’ve started again!
President Fuller and Miss Reed are being cute again! I feel so blessed today! Excited to the point of fainting, the girl felt giddy as she spoke in an unstable tone, “Miss Reed, regardless of your request, I’ll agree to it. I swear!”
Scared that Sonia might not believe her, she even lifted her palm in the air, making an oath gesture. Laughing, Sonia shook her head. “It’s nothing big. It’s just a simple request. If you upload the picture and include a caption, then please write it as it is. Don’t exaggerate or twist the facts, got it?”
“Got it.” The girl nodded profusely like a chick. “I understand. Don’t worry, Miss Reed. I won’t do anything rash. That’s what those heartless paparazzis will do. I’m a kind person, so I won’t do that.”
“That’s good to know. I don’t have any other requests now. We’ll be leaving now. See you.” Sonia was satisfied with her answer as she smiled even more warmly.
The girl waved. “See you, Miss Reed, President Fuller.”
Toby did not reply whereas Sonia waved back to her. Then, she held his arm and walked toward the vegetables aisle.
Standing at the same spot, the girl could still hear their conversation.
Sonia was asking Toby why he bought so many fruits while he answered that he bought it for her sake since eating fruits was beneficial to her body.
While hearing this, the girl showed a gentle smile with crossed arms and a lowered chin as she mumbled excitedly, “President Fuller is heads over heels for Miss Reed. They are so sweet. This can’t be done. I can’t just enjoy this by myself. I need others to know as well.”
The girl laughed sheepishly before taking her phone out to write about her experience with Toby and Sonia. Then, she uploaded the photo of the two buying fruits together along with a caption.
Since she was an active fan on the forum, she had about over ten thousand followers on her account, who were indeed active and not bot accounts.
Since it was an exclusive and personal post regarding bumping into Sonia and Toby, the fans immediately retweeted upon seeing it.
Soon enough, the topic of Toby and Sonia grocery shopping trended before everyone knew about it.
All of a sudden, everybody was lamenting about how sweet and in-love they looked together.
On the other hand, Lynette, who was abroad, blew her top when she saw the trending topic before she threw her phone at the wall opposite her.
The phone bounced from the wall after it made contact. Flying backward, it crashed onto the ground and shattered into pieces. It was completely out of commission at this point.
Still, it was not enough to quell the rage inside her as she sat on the couch and clutched the pillows while screaming loudly.
After a moment of roaring, her hair and clothes became messed up as she sat there, hunched-back with bloodshot eyes that were staring at the phone on the floor.
This is fake! It has to be!
The post isn’t real!
Toby will never like that woman! Never!
They only married because that woman threatened Toby. Their reconcilement must be because Sonia blackmailed Toby again!
So, there’s no way they have feelings for each other. The smile and gaze Toby has for her must have been faked. It must have been photoshopped.
Sonia must have been the uploader. She must have found someone to take photos of them because of what happened earlier today and uploaded it. Her aim is just to confuse the masses and let them think that they have a solid relationship.
Right! That must have been the case!
Lynette clenched her teeth hard while brainwashing herself constantly since she could not bring herself to believe the reality in front of her, nor could she accept the fact that Toby really had feelings for Sonia.
She had fancied Toby from a young age, but it was not until she grew older did she understand what romance was. From then, she came to understand that she did not treat Toby like a brother or uncle; instead, she liked him as a man.
When she found out that she liked Toby, the only thing on her mind since then was to get married to him and be his wife.
Yet, Toby did not feel the same way. Although she was disappointed, she did not force him to love her, as she thought that he did not like other women at that time, so she had ample time to further their relationship.
Unfortunately, before Toby could fall in love with her, he told her one day that he had a woman he liked and that the woman was his penpal. They had been exchanging letters for many years. He even said that he ‘witnessed’ that woman grow up.
At that moment, she felt as if her world crumbled. She never knew that Toby had a penpal and that he had fallen for the person; she could not accept this.
I have known Toby since we were little. We’ve known each other longer than that penpal of his. Why is it that the person who captured his heart is some penpal that came into his life later than me?
It was then she swore that she would find that person and get rid of her from Toby’s life.
Yet before she could dig her out, Toby actually brought his penpal to Lynette. She was Tina from the Gray family.
This shocked her back then, as she could not believe that that woman was Toby’s penpal. Tina was no saint, for she was crueler than Lynette. Capable of harming the boyfriend she had been together with for three years, Lynette could not figure out why this evil woman managed to charm Toby.
Therefore, she went to Toby and told him that Tina was not as she seemed. However, he got angry, telling her not to spout nonsense before chasing her out from the Fuller Residence. Eventually, she became the butt of everyone’s joke.
She did not pin this humiliation on Toby. Instead, she pinned it on Tina, who had caused him to treat her worse ever since Tina’s appearance, So, who could she blame except for Tina?
She wanted to expose her facade and let Toby know what kind of woman Tina really was. She wanted to let him know that that woman was undeserving of him, and that only her, Lynette Lore, was the most suitable candidate to be at his side.
However, she did not foresee that Tina was more twisted and terrifying than she predicted, for she nearly died in her hands.
She even managed to grasp her weak point, so Lynette could not act rashly. In the end, Tina threatened her to never appear in front of Toby again.
Out of options, Lynette could only accept the condition begrudgingly in fear that Tina would threaten her again. After that, she made up an excuse to study abroad, all in cover to escape and hide from Tina Gray.
