Chapter 40
“You are going way overboard now, Charles!” Melody commented coldly. “Do you think Tina and the rest of us are blind? Of course we can tell that you are directing your vengeance at her! She only has her strappy camisole left. What else do you want?”
Charles merely shrugged with a confused
expression. “I won. So, she should remove
her clothes, shouldn’t she? Since when
have I gone overboard? Well, you can also
help her out by taking off your clothes!”
Upon hearing that, she was speechless. As
the heater was causing the room to be
extremely warm, she had only worn a
spaghetti strapped long dress.
Of course, she would not embarrass herself just to help Tina out.
We should end things here since it’s already quite late.” Toby walked over to Tina and wrapped his coat around her.
Before Charles could say anything, Toby added indifferently. Til ask my accountant to transfer 30 million to you tomorrow morning. The Fuller Group will withdraw its acquisition of Snoway and I will ask my team to assist you in acquiring the company instead.”
Since Charles had already embarrassed
Tina and with Toby taking a step back, he
felt that it was a good opportunity for him
to stop his taunts. “At the age of ten when
Sonia played poker with her father, even he
lost to her. let alone me.” He extinguished
his cigarette in the ashtray before he slowly stood up, whеn уоu guys were playing with her earlier, although it seemed like you had won, it was just that she did
not want to play with you.”
When his shoulders brushed past Toby’s
body, Charles shot a glance at him and
Snorted. “It seems like she really doesn’t
want to be with you anymore. Otherwise,
even if Tina is ten times better at the game, she will also lose to Sonia.”
Upon hearing that, Toby recalled Sonia’s
peaceful expression when she was having
her tattoo removed. Then, his eyes darkened. So, she actually knows how to
play poker.
Meanwhile, Sonia and Hebecca had just ordered snacks and finished singing a few songs in the private room when Charles returned
Rebecca quickly walked to him to ask about what had happened. When she
heard that Tina had stripped to the point of
being nude, she felt vindictive. “If Toby wasn’t around, she probably would have walked out of the club naked tonight!”
“I know, right?” He let out another snort.
“An eye for an eye! No matter how she
bullies my baby, I’ll return the favor a few
more times!”
“Thanks.” Sonia smiled and gave Charles a
toast
He did not ask why she had allowed the
rest of them to bully her in the poker room earlier. Instead, he stretched out with his hand and yanked her into his embrace as he teased, “We have already slept on the same bed for a long time. Why are you still thanking me?”
“Whoa!” Rebecca looked at them with . widened eyes. “Is it true?”
“Of course it’s true,”
“If you destroy my reputation any further, I’m going to slap you.” Sonia gave Charles a hard kick before she explained to
Rebecca, “When we were younger, his
parents were usually not at home, so he
always came to my place for food. He
even slept there without compensating us.
Don’t you think that he’s taken it quite far?”
upon heating thai, Rebecca immediately looked at him in disdain “Ah, I see. It turns out that he is just thick skinned.”
They had joked around without realizing that there was a small voice recorder taped under the table, which recorded their entire conversation.
Charles” friends soon arrived one after
another, which gave the room loads of
vigor and laughter.
Sonia did not like a huge crowd. On top of
that, she was in a bad mood and merely
sat in the corner while drinking some wine.
After some time, she saw Charles and his
friends playing games that involved
drinking and joined them.
Even though she lost in those games, she still felt jubilant as she poured a mixture of red and white wine into her mouth.
After a few rounds of doing so, she felt
quite dizzy.
“I’m going out to take a breather. You guys. should carry on without me.” As she felt
that she could no longer continue with the
games, Sonia informed Charles before she
walked out of the room.
She merely wanted to head to the balcony to enjoy the breeze. However, as she had drank too much in the room earlier, she felt even more nauseous when the cold wind
blew at her face.
Sonia covered her lips and quickly ran to
the wachronm
the washroom
It was after she threw up that she felt much more comfortable. She splashed her face with cold water before she looked at herself in the mirror. How pathetic and pitiful. I hope this is the last time I allow myself to be drunk
As she walked out of the washroom, she headed to the balcony again. At this moment, a waiter passed her by with a tray in his hands
When he saw that her cheeks were
reddened and that she still looked drunk,
he passed her a bottle of water that was
on his tray. “Miss, you will feel better after
drinking some water.”
“Thank you.” Sonia took the bottle from
him and immediately opened the cap to
A huge hand then suddenly pinched her bottom before a breathy whisper landed in her ears. “Beautiful girl, your figure is alluring. What’s your price?”
“Let me go!” she coldly replied with the intention to crush the person’s hands.
However, as she had just finished throwing
up, she did not have much energy left. Apart from that, she was also quite dizzy.
which made it easier for him to hug her
and yank her toward the elevator.
“Don’t worry. I have lots of money. I can
pay you any amount of money that you
want,” the man said with a snicker.
Sonia had no idea why she couldn’t stop
her body from softening. She bit her tongue in an attempt to wake herself up and she stomped on his shoes with her pair of high heels. When he released her in pain, she quickly fled the scene while
placing her hand on the walls for support.
However, as soon as she ran outside, the
man chased after her and pulled her hair in annoyance. “I’ve already told you that I’m going to give you some money. Don’t take it for granted”
At this moment, another hand suddenly
pinched his wrist hard.
“Ahhhh!” He let out a loud scream, feeling
as though his wrist was about to break.
“Who the hell are you? How dare you touch
me!”
Even though the man was cursing, he imunediately fell silent as soon as he met the other person’s cold pair of eyes. “P. President Fuller…”
“My pleasure.” When Toby saw the long strands of hair in the man’s hands, his gaze darkened even further. He applied more force and immediately crushed the
man’s wrist.
With an indifferent tone, Toby asked, “I
wonder what business you have with my ex-wife, President Mills.”
President Mills did not dare to even grunt.
Beads of sweat formed on his head as he
suppressed his urge to yell aloud and
instead bowed to apologize to Toby. “I’m
sorry, President Fuller. I didn’t look properly
as I thought she was one of the employees
of the club. I didn’t know that she is your
ex-wife
Toby released him and called for a waiter. “President Mills is drunk. Arrange for a car to send him back,” he ordered.
Upon seeing that Toby decided to let the matter slide, President Mills heaved a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, Toby added, “His eyes are not working well. Arrange an optometrist at the hospital to
do an eye checkup on him.”
President Mills was speechless when he
heard that.
After President Mills had followed the
waiter out, Toby shot a glance at Sonia, who was still holding onto the wall for
support. Her hair was in a mess and she could not even stand straight. It was obvious that she had drunk a lot.
He still remembered what Charles had told
him earlier.
Toby walked to Sonia in large strides and he pulled her arms to lift her up on her feet. “Sonia, what are you implying?” He
was quite strong as he held her weak waist, but his tone was indifferent. “You
know how to play poker, yet you deliberately lost the game?”
“It’s none of your business!” she answered
sarcastically. She wanted to shove his
hands away, but she was so dizzy that she
almost landed in his embrace.
She managed to force herself to stand
straight. When she raised her head, she
almost landed in his emblaue
She managed to force herself to stand straight. When she raised her head, she saw a blurred face with a pair of deep, profound eyes that looked at her fixedly.
“None of my business? Is that what you just said, Sonia?”
