Chapter 1050 Toby Fuller Chased Harry Away
Harry approached Toby as if it were the first time they had met. He sighed in frustration after watching him for a while. “Okay. Since you said I was wrong, please, enlighten me.”
“You’re wrong from the beginning till the end.” Toby folded his legs and looked at him calmly, adding, “You said that she married me because she was blackmailing me, making her a cunning person. But think about it; how could she have done that given my identity?
Harry was silent upon hearing that as he was clearly taken aback. Obviously, he had not pondered over this. However, he quickly made another excuse as he rebutted, “Perhaps she’s after something else.”
His words made Toby chuckle. “Do you think your words make sense, Harry? Do you realize how many people are after me? There are so many smart individuals out there, but none of them is able to go against me, so how could she? Since you’re so aware of my personality, do you believe that I’ll keep the woman who threatens me around? I’ll make her disappear right away.”
Toby’s words froze Harry in his tracks, causing his face to flush.
Tom, who was beside Toby, snickered and covered his lips.
Toby is the only one who can get Harry to shut the heck up.
“Then, tell me. Why did you insist on marrying her? Wasn’t the Gray Family girl the only woman you cared about at that time?” Harry refused to give in. He still believed their marriage to be orchestrated by Sonia.
“I’ve never liked Miss Gray. Sonia is the only one who’s had my heart, but…” Toby arched his brow before continuing, “In short, as you are aware, I adore Sonia since day one. I want to marry her because I love her and there is no other reason.”
Despite being hypnotized at the time and was unable to recognize Sonia as Maple, he still had feelings for Sonia and cared about her subconsciously; otherwise, why would he agree without hesitation when she proposed marriage?
As he previously stated, no one could blackmail him; even if they did, he would simply make them disappear.
“You said you loved her, so why did you treat her so badly six years ago? Though I didn’t see for myself how you guys got along, I heard it somewhere else. Why hurt her when you love her, and why divorce her if you swear she’s the only one?” Harry questioned after listening to Toby’s response.
“Everything happens for a reason. This is our privacy and I’m not going to tell you everything, Harry,” Toby responded quietly, his eyes lowered.
“Okay, fair enough. If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. Still, I stand on my ground that she’s not good enough for you. You can see how much trouble she’s caused after your divorce. How many times did you clean up the mess she made? Had she been a proper lady with proper manners, she would have caused fewer problems and attracted less criticism! Hmph, I guess she did something bad again this time.” Harry sneered at Tom while pointing at him.
“You’re free to dislike Sonia, Harry. Everyone has their preferences and I cannot force you to like her. I won’t bring her to see you as well, but you should not smear and insult her. You’re disrespecting her and belittling me as your student,” Toby said after he cast a glance at Tom.
“When did I belittle you?” Harry’s face darkened.
“Sonia is my love and I am happy with my choice. Your smearing of her simply belittles my perspective on people. Isn’t this belittling?” Toby averted his gaze to Harry; his eyes were unmistakably cold.
At this point, Harry’s constant disparagement of Sonia clearly irritated Toby.
“You’re also mistaken in one aspect, Harry.” Toby rose to his feet, his hands in his trouser pockets as he said with a flat voice, “It’s true that a lot has happened to her since the divorce, but not a single incident was initiated by her; it was all because others envied, resented, and harmed her. In addition, I did not resolve these issues for her. I only assisted her from behind. Only she has the ability to truly solve the issues. Don’t get me wrong, but she’s much better than you think.”
Tom was about to applaud upon hearing Toby’s explanation. President Fuller speaks with the professionalism that is expected of him.
“It is getting late and I have other business to get to. I’ll take your collaboration into consideration and send someone to notify you when I’ve made the decision. You should go first, Harry,” Toby concluded.
Undoubtedly, the old man’s face was pale and funny, his old eyes were wide and he stared at Toby in disbelief.
He was shocked that Toby drove him away! This had never happened before…
Harry, on the other hand, was well-aware that his repeated devaluation of Sonia had enraged Toby to the point where he had to chase him away.
As such, Sonia appeared to have an utmost importance in Toby’s heart.
Furthermore, her wooing strategy was more successful than Harry had anticipated.
Toby had become so enamored with her that he had driven his own mentor away.
Not only that, he also did not immediately agree to the collaboration plan Harry had proposed.
In comparison, Toby had previously agreed without hesitation to all of Harry’s cooperative plans. Now, he chased Harry away and delayed the approval of his plans simply because he criticized Sonia.
Is this necessary?
Toby has fallen head over heels for Sonia before they even remarried.
If they remarry and Sonia is made aware of my criticisms for her, she will definitely complain to him.
I’m afraid that Toby would no longer treat me as his respected mentor.
No. I must do everything possible to keep Toby from spending his life with Sonia.
As he considered it, Harry’s eyes flashed a determined, fleeting look.
Obviously, not right now.
Toby is enraged and dissatisfied with me right now. I’m afraid that if I mention Sonia again, I will inherently destroy my relationship with Toby.
In short, this is a long-term problem that must be addressed gradually.
At the thought, Harry exhaled a breath. He calmed down and reverted to the kind and amiable man he once was. “All right. You can go ahead and settle your business. I’ll head back first,” he said with a smile.
“I’ll have someone send you off,” Toby offered as he nodded at Tom.
“This way, Harry.” Tom made a gesture toward the door.
Harry hummed as he exited the conference room.
Staring at the vanished guest, Toby averted his gaze and sat down again. He then massaged his temples and his face was a little unsightly from the exhaustion.
He had no idea that Harry would be so upset with Sonia and have such a negative opinion of her to the point of speaking disparagingly about her before him.
