Chapter 333 Regret
Tyler was so shocked that his voice turned shrill while the hand that held the document trembled. “S-Sonia is pregnant?” He swallowed and couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Jean pursed her lips. “Even if she is, what does this have to do with Toby? It can’t be that Sonia is carrying Toby’s child, right?”
What did the 10-week pregnancy mean? It meant that after having just divorced Toby, Sonia had already impatiently fallen in love with another random man. How could she still have the nerve to say how much she loves Toby? She’s really shameless!
“Mrs. Fuller, you’re right. The child Sonia is carrying is really Toby’s!” Titus looked at Toby with a smile. “Toby, am I right?”
Toby pursed his lips and did not answer the question.
When Jean saw it, she was aware that his lack of denial was indicative of his admission. “Toby, is the child in Sonia’s belly really yours?” she asked as she looked at him in shock.
He nodded. “Yes!”
Plop! The document in Tyler’s hand fell to the ground at once and he gave Toby a thumbs up before sighing with heartfelt praise. “Toby, you’re astounding!”
“Astounding?!” Jean slapped Tyler on the back of his head before she looked at Toby. “Toby, didn’t you dislike Sonia? How—”
“It was an accident.” Toby lowered his eyes and spoke in a light voice. Moreover, he didn’t dislike Sonia. Although he didn’t realize then that he had liked her, his heart already knew of his feelings. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have happened in the way that it did.
“Whether it was an accident or not, Sonia is now over 2 months pregnant and carrying your child, so the fact that you cheated is naturally an iron-clad fact,” Titus spoke smugly as he sat down and crossed his legs.
“So what if that’s the case?” Toby looked at him indifferently.
Upon hearing that, Titus frowned. The matter of cheating was now a fact, yet Toby wasn’t panicking.
Titus’ eyes narrowed while he asked, “So, how do you plan to compensate Tina and the Gray Family?”
With a sarcastic laugh, Toby answered, “This is the real purpose of you coming, right? You claim to settle accounts with me under the pretext of my cheating, yet in truth, you just want to obtain benefits.”
“That’s how it is, huh! You really are a shameless old dog!” Jean glared at Titus in anger and frustration.
However, the man ignored her and looked at Toby. “You’re right to say so, but it’s also a fact that you cheated, so I want you to compensate for it! It’s only fair!”
“It’s only fair, I suppose. So, what kind of compensation do you want?” Toby lowered his eyelids to hide the coldness in his eyes.
When Jean heard his words, she immediately cried, “Toby, you can’t—”
“Mom, please don’t say anything first,” he interrupted.
As she usually listened to what he said, she remained reticent.
When Titus saw this scene, he smiled. He originally thought that it wouldn’t be this easy and there would be more arguments before Toby would agree to compensate the Gray Family. However, he never expected that Toby would easily agree to his demands.
“Don’t worry, the compensation I want is not much. I just want you to resume the partnership with Triforce Enterprise and restore the marriage contract with Tina.” Titus then looked at Toby and added, “How about that? It’s not too much for you, right?”
Toby’s face was grim and his eyes looked fierce when he heard that. As for Jean, she flew into a rage and slammed the coffee table. “How is this not too much? Titus, how dare you ask for so much? Not only do you want us to resume cooperation with Triforce Enterprise, you even want us to restore the marriage contract with Tina? Everyone knows that she is a piece of scrap and you still want Toby to marry her? Who do you think the Fuller Family is?”
Tyler was just as exasperated, but because he was young, some of the words were obviously inappropriate for him to say. He rolled his eyes and took his phone before he quietly left the living room to inform his grandmother about the matter. I’ll let Toby resolve the matter with Titus on his own, but Grandma has to know about Sonia’s pregnancy. Maybe Grandma would be able to come forward and bring Sonia and Toby together again.
In the living room, after scolding Titus, Jean hurriedly persuaded Toby, “Toby, you must not agree.”
Although Toby was obviously ready to promise to compensate the Gray Family, she was petrified that he would agree to restore the marriage contract with Tina.
Since he was aware of Jean’s concern, he waved his hand to indicate to her to have a seat first. Thus, she fiercely glared at Titus before sitting down with a huff. Next, Toby raised his eyes to gaze at Titus.
Upon noticing Toby’s cold and emotionless eyes, Titus panicked before he coughed and elaborated, “Of course, if you care about Tina being a piece of scrap, you don’t have to restore the marriage contract with her. After all, I still have another daughter.”
He actually never intended on restoring Toby and Tina’s marriage contract. After all, no normal man would still want Tina. Titus had merely said those words earlier to test the waters because the one whom he really wanted to offer was Rina. If Toby didn’t want to accept Tina, Titus would then push Rina as a substitute. No matter what, the interfamilial marriage with the Fuller Family had to be continued.
“Huh.” Jean sneered. “Now that Tina cannot marry into the family, you want your new country bumpkin to marry Toby? Do you think the Fuller Family is a charitable family who will accept just about anyone? Do you think Toby is a garbage can who will simply marry anyone?”
The corner of Toby’s mouth twitched. “Mom…”
Although he knew she was speaking up for him, her words were inappropriate.
“What’s wrong?” She looked over with a confused face, apparently in the dark about the meaning of her words.
Jean is not a cultured woman anyway, he thought as he pressed his forehead and replied, “Nothing.”
A second later, he resumed his icy look and his gaze was cold as he looked at Titus. “Okay, now that you have said so much, it’s my turn to speak. I can tell you upfront that the partnership with your company will not continue and the marriage contract with the Gray Family won’t be restored either.”
Jean immediately laughed.
On the other hand, Titus looked irritated. “You mean to say, you don’t intend to compensate the Gray Family?”
When Toby heard those words, he didn’t deny the truth.
Titus was so angry that his face contorted. “Toby, aren’t you afraid that I’ll spread the word about your cheating? If I do, you and your family will be looked down upon by everyone!”
“You can go ahead if you want to publicize it. I don’t give a damn about it.” Toby stretched lazily and continued faintly, “Compared to Tina cheating on me six times, I have only done so once. It’s not a big deal anyway. Besides, with my status, even if you spread the word, will anyone dare to talk about it directly to me? They won’t and my family won’t be affected whatsoever. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a shot. Moreover, I can tell you now that once you spread the word, I’ll only be more offended.”
“You…” Titus’ face reddened. He had to admit that Toby was right. Cheating was not an uncommon thing in such a social circle. The reason being that most men in the upper echelons of society cheated on their partners, so at most, people would only talk about Toby’s adultery without any negative impact to both his reputation and the Fuller Group. Even those outside the social circle wouldn’t be able to condemn him much because first of all, being adulterous was not a crime and secondly, Toby’s status was so high that no one would be willing to boycott him due to their fear of displeasing him. .
When Titus initially came, he only thought about threatening Toby with the cheating incident, but he forgot about Toby’s status in Seafield. The more he pondered on this, a great regret rose in his heart as he now wondered where he had summoned the courage to presume that he could threaten Toby with the said matter. As a result, not only was Titus unsuccessful in his attempt, it even caused Toby to hold a grudge against him instead.
