Chapter 1051 Toby Was Totally Enraged
Toby was not dull, so how could he have missed what Harry was trying to say to him? The old man wanted to smear Toby’s impression of Sonia in order to ruin their relationship.
It was just that Toby had not expected his teacher to still be hooked on the concept of social hierarchy.
Sure, it was important for most of the rich and powerful families to marry within their social class.
However, it was not necessary for the Fullers and there was no need for arranged marriages as well.
The Fuller Family’s development was now saturated and at its peak. Therefore, the country would not allow the Fullers to continue to expand.
As a result, there would not be any problem for Toby to marry a woman from an ordinary family.
Furthermore, he had complete control over who he loved and who he wished to marry. After all, he was the only one who would spend his entire life with Sonia.
No one had the authority to oppose their relationship as long as they did not harm or trouble the others when they were together.
Harry, on the other hand, was completely ignorant of everything and even attempted to force him to end his relationship with Sonia and marry some other wealthy woman.
Ironically, Toby had predicted that Harry would like Sonia and planned to bring her to meet him someday. To his surprise, his teacher had such strong negative feelings for her. It appeared it was not a good idea for them to meet each other now to prevent Sonia from getting hurt.
Harry is such a snob. I’m not sure if it’s because of his age or because of his personality. This is something I’ve never seen before.
But, whatever it is, he shouldn’t even try to interfere with, let alone end my relationship with Sonia.
Toby’s expression went cold as he thought and a dim light shone in his eyes.
At that moment, footsteps could be heard outside of the conference room.
The next second, the footsteps came to a halt, followed by a knock on the door. “President Fuller.” Tom had returned after sending off Harry.
“Come in,” Toby said as he collected his thoughts.
Tom entered the room after hearing Toby’s instructions.
“Has Harry left?” Toby poured himself another cup of tea.
“Yes. I saw him get into his car and I only leave after his car disappears from my sight,” Tom assured, nodding.
Toby hummed to acknowledge him. He then sipped his tea and inquired, “Now tell me, what happened to Little Leaf?”
“Yes,” Tom replied before explaining what had happened on the Internet.
Toby’s face changed dramatically as he heard this and went silent.
“Why did you only tell me such big news now?” he questioned Tom coldly.
“President Fuller, I didn’t know about this matter until earlier. I was resting at home this morning and only arrived at the Fuller Group half an hour ago. I only learned about Miss Reed’s scandal through the group employee discussions. After that, I immediately called Miss Reed using your phone to assure her. Following that, I quickly requested that the public relations department suppress the viral news on the Internet, delete all the negative comments, and report the accounts and major media that spread the scandals. I immediately came to you after I finished that,” Tom hurriedly explained.
Toby realized he had misunderstood Tom after hearing his words. His sullen expression improved slightly, but his tense body remained. “Please hand me the phone.”
“All right,” Tom said, quickly reaching into his suit pocket for Toby’s phone and handing it over.
He grabbed it, hoping to find messages from Sonia, but his brows twisted when he saw that there were none from her. After recalling that Tom had phoned her, it could explain why she did not look for Toby after that.
“How was Little Leaf’s mood at that time?” Toby clenched his phone and asked Tom.
“It’s not very good,” Tom replied, “and Miss Reed’s voice seemed a little dull. She must have suffered greatly as a result of this situation.”
Sonia was obviously just attending her own business with Charles and Brian, but she was photographed for no other reason than to cause Internet scandals.
Nobody could stand such a heinous act.
Toby’s heart tightened as he heard that Sonia was upset and his breath became quicker. “Did you find out who did it?” he asked.
Tom had told him that the Squirrel Media was the first to report about the scandal.
Still, the Squirrel Media was merely a rogue agency. There was no way they would do something like this without instructions from someone else. As a result, someone despicable must have forced Squirrel Media to do so.
The person who spread such false rumors to smear Sonia was not only bullying his wife, but also ruining his reputation.
Toby would do anything to capture the culprit behind this.
“Not yet. I only just learned about this, so no order to investigate has been issued,” Tom admitted before adding, “But what is certain is that the person behind the scenes is a woman.”
“A woman?” Toby was stunned.
“Yes, the Squirrel Media photos and texts are intended to mislead everyone into believing Miss Reed is cheating, because cheating is the most unacceptable thing for a couple. The perpetrator intends to use this to destroy your relationship with Miss Reed. After all, there are numerous ways to destroy Miss Reed and this isn’t the only one. As a result, there’s an eighty percent chance that the culprit is a woman, and she…”
Tom took a brief pause before raising his head and quietly looking at Toby. “The culprit is likely a woman who is interested in you, President Fuller.” He coughed.
After hearing this, Toby’s expression darkened.
Tom added, “President Fuller, Miss Reed has already guessed this and she’s most likely in a foul mood because of that. Apart from the online criticisms, it’s most likely because of this. She is, after all, a woman. Having to see some other woman attacking her and stealing you away from her worsens her mood. You should give Miss Reed a call right away, coax her, and stop her from overthinking,” he advised.
“I know. There’s no need to go the formal route for the investigation,” Toby responded calmly before shutting his eyes abruptly, temporarily restraining the blood in his eyes.
He rose to his feet while his face was gloomy and chilling.
“President Fuller, do you think—” Tom asked as he noticed Toby’s expression.
“Let the investigator head straight to Squirrel Media. Gather all the high-level executives and cross-examine them one by one. If no one says anything, knock out their teeth!” Toby’s eyes narrowed with murderous intent.
“Yes,” Tom affirmed, standing tall and speaking clearly.
He was well aware that Toby was enraged. No one would stand it when their own wife was bullied in this manner. If it were Tom, he would not want to waste time; instead, he would force the culprit to confess their wrongdoing.
“I’ll pass your orders right away, President Fuller.” After saying this, Tom left the room.
Toby unlocked the phone, but did not dial Sonia’s number right away. Instead, he was checking out what’s going on online.
He squeezed his phone tightly as if he wanted to crack it when he saw the various abusive comments directed at Sonia.
What’s going on?
Tom, I believe, stated that he has directed the public relations department to delete the negative comments.
It stands to reason that it’s normal even if not all negative comments are deleted. However, the Internet is still flooded with criticism and the number of likes and shares are growing. It’s as if nothing was removed…
