Chapter 942 The Lively Internet
The netizens had not expected that Toby and Sonia would actually flirt openly on a public platform. In the public’s eye, they were big figures that were out of reach to ordinary netizens like them, to the point where the netizens didn’t even understand them and only felt that they were unattainable figures that they could only look up to.
However, watching them acting so down-to-earth on the internet and showing their affection in public like ordinary people, and even flirting in front of everyone, the netizens instantly felt that the big figures they thought were out of their reach were actually not as unattainable as they’d thought. They realized the couple could also say and do ordinary things just like everyone else.
After that, the netizens suddenly felt that the two of them got along well, and their affection for the two rose all of a sudden. Some bold netizens even dared to joke under their comment section, asking if they could be invited to peek from under their bed. Unexpectedly, Toby replied to one of them, ‘Never! Keep dreaming!’
Although he had not held back on his words, not only did he not make the netizens angry, but on the contrary, they nearly fainted with excitement. He had been noticed by a big shot. A big figure actually replied to him! He was probably the first to receive this honor. Just as this netizen was happily jumping around in excitement, other netizens were envious when they saw this. They wanted to be noticed too.
All of a sudden, Toby’s comment section turned lively and cheerful as joking comments continued to appear. Probably because he wasn’t as cold as the netizens thought he was in the past, and he also had a side to him that was down-to-earth, Toby was now very popular with the netizens, and Fuller Group’s stock prices had even risen a little.
After Tom found out, he couldn’t help but feel that Toby really deserved his position. Just by expressing his love to Sonia on the internet, he was able to make a fortune. As expected, this was why Toby could become the boss while he could only remain as his assistant.
On the other side, Sonia had also seen the news of the changes in Fuller Group’s stocks. After knowing the reason, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Obviously, she didn’t expect that she would cause such a commotion just because she wanted to show off his gifts in Paradigm Co. However, at least it wasn’t a bad thing. She indirectly helped Fuller Group to make more profits, no?
“Haha.” Sonia couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
However, the aftermath of this incident was not over yet. The netizens were still happily leaving comments for Toby and Sonia, and the entertainment industry had begun to stir. The girlfriends or wives of male celebrities who were called husbands by the netizens became envious of Sonia after seeing Toby’s warning to the netizens, and they also began to tag their boyfriends or husbands, wanting them to do the same.
Then, some smart male celebrities really did as they said, learning from Toby and also posting some “harsh statements” to the netizens. There were some male stars who weren’t as tactful, but had skilled agents supporting them, and they began to follow Toby’s example at their agents’ suggestions.
However, after these male celebrities did this, not only were they not scolded by their girlfriends or their fans, but they were praised for their sense of responsibility and their tactfulness. In short, these male stars also got the praise Toby had received after following his actions.
As a result, in this entertainment industry that had always been a mess of fights between fans, the atmosphere suddenly changed and became more harmonious than it had ever been before. The various fans stopped picking fights with each other and laughed together under their favorite celebrities’ comment sections, and the internet had become so peaceful that it made people speechless.
After that, some media outlets began expressing their amazement. It was as expected of a big shot. Just by being in a relationship and showing his affection, not only did he increase the stock prices of his own company, but he also eliminated the bad behavior of fans in the entertainment industry and changed everything. This statement naturally received a lot of approval from countless netizens.
Of course, there were also some people who sourly said that there was nothing great about this. Among them were Zane and Charles, two pitiful men who could only look but never get what they wanted.
This also included Titus of Triforce Enterprise, who was still working hard despite his illness and pain. Because of the commotion on the internet, even Titus, an old man who didn’t pay attention to the recent trends, heard a little about what was happening. After finding out that Toby’s gift to Sonia had gotten on the news, he clicked on the news and checked the details with the intention of understanding his enemy. When he saw the pictures of the gifts that were listed out by the netizens, his face that was originally morbidly pale turned red.
“Toby, that b*stard. When he was with Tina, I never saw him giving her anything. The only thing he was going to give her was the Ocean’s Heart, but he let that brat Sonia take it away in the end. He was so cruel to Tina, but he’s extremely generous to that brat Sonia, enough to give her tens and hundreds of millions worth of gifts for no reason.” Titus cursed under his breath as he squeezed the mouse tightly with a glare.
Julia, who was sitting next to him, had been worried about his health recently and stayed with him all the time, commuting to and back from work with him. When she heard Titus’ complaint, she should’ve joined in, but for reasons unknown to her, she defended Sonia instead.
“That’s not true. Wasn’t Toby hypnotized by a person Tina found, which was why we thought he liked her? However, he never did. The person he likes has always been Sonia, so it makes sense that he never gave Tina anything and only gives presents to Sonia.”
Titus widened his eyes in disbelief. “Honey, why are you taking Sonia’s side? Don’t tell me you still think Sonia is our daughter?”
Julia’s eyes flashed, and she lowered her eyelids. “No, I’m just talking based on the facts.”
There was one more thing she didn’t say. Although she didn’t think Sonia was her daughter anymore, in her heart, she had always been very concerned that Sonia was not Henry’s biological daughter and was extremely aware of the scar on Sonia’s wrist. She always felt that she had missed out something, but she couldn’t tell what it was. Most importantly, her disgust for Sonia didn’t run as deeply as before. However, she couldn’t say this out loud.
“Hmph, what facts? I say he’s just being stingy.” Titus let out a scoff.
In fact, he knew in his heart that what Julia said was the truth, but he just didn’t want to admit it.
“All right, darling.” Julia snatched the mouse from Titus’ hand. “Don’t look at these things anymore. The more you look at it, the angrier you’ll get, and it isn’t good for your health. All you have to do now is to calm down, recuperate, and wait for a kidney donor. After you replace your kidney and recover, it’ll be time for us to take revenge.”
Titus rubbed his temples and nodded wearily. “Yeah, when I get better, I won’t let both Toby and Sonia go. I must make her die, or when she eventually finds out what I did to Henry, it’ll be me who will die by then.”
As he spoke, a fierce light flashed quickly in his yellowed pupils. “If my body weren’t this weak, how could Sonia be able to act so arrogantly until now?”
In the past, Julia might have nodded in agreement. Now, however, she just massaged Titus’ shoulders silently without answering. Her mind was in a mess. On one hand, she knew that the Gray Family and the Reed Family were mortal enemies. More than 20 years ago, Titus plotted against Henry and caused one of his staff to end their own life, which almost caused the Reed Family to go bankrupt.
