Chapter 26
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 26 Standing beside the car, Sonia talked on the phone in the cold wind. She felt a little dizzy, and her feet swayed.
Tobyâs gaze darkened, then he calmly took the phone from Soniaâs hand and hung up before picking her up and walking to the other side of the car.
Being lifted into the air all of a sudden, Sonia was shocked, and the umbrella nearly flew out of her hand. She panicked
and grabbed the manâs shirt with one hand as her face grew slightly cold.
âToby, let me down!â
Ignoring her, Toby opened the passenger door and stuffed her into the car.
*President Fuller, are you done creating trouble?â Watching as the man tugged on her seatbelt, Sonia snapped coldly, âI can find a driver. You donât need to care about me!â
During their six years of marriage, Toby never cared about her. The two had only had a handful of conversations. But, after their divorce, she and Toby had met several times in just a few days.
When did Seafield become so small?
Toby noticed the discomfort and stubborness on her face, and annoyance filled his heart. âThe weather is so bad. Even if you order for a substitute driver, no One will take vour order.â
âItâs my business whether I get one or not.â
âSonia.â Toby leaned closer to her. His cold breath enveloped her, and his eyes were cold and sullen. âDo you have to be so stubborn?â
There wasnât much space in the car, so Sonia had nowhere to hide when he approached her.
Her face grew chilly. She was about to speak, but she accidentally glanced behind the manâs back and found that he couldnât hold the umbrella when he carried her into the car. It was raining heavily outside, so most of his back was wet.
Soniaâs heart gave a fierce shudder, and the words she was about to say died in her mouth as she quickly looked awav.
Toby cast her a glance before continuing to pull the seat belt across her. However, because he was too close, his fingers accidentally rubbed against her heaving chest.
Both of them froze.
Sonia was the first to react. She pulled the seat belt from his hand and inserted it into the buckle.
Tobyâs Adamâs apple bobbed. Iâm sorry.â
âItâs okay. I know you didnât mean to do it, President Fuller.â Sonia thought about what Chester said when they were playing cards just now, and she couldnât help but taunt him. âPresident Fuller, youâre a rare âsaintâ thatâs only seen once every thousand vears!â
Met with the womanâs cold remarks, Toby frowned, but he quickly got into the driverâs seat and started the engine.
Toby asked, âWhere do you live?â
âBayside Residence,â Sonia answered stonily, then looked out the window and rested her chin on her hands.
Neither of them spoke again. Silence filled the car, the only sound was the slight swiping of the wipers.
Sonia had been exposed to the rain, so she was feeling very uncomfortable.
Now that the heater was blowing hot wind, the cold was replaced with heat. After a while, she grew groggy and fell asleep in the car.
They soon arrived at Bayside Residence, but Toby didnât know which building Sonia lived in. Seeing how flushed her face was, he figured she had caught a cold, so he looked for a drugstore along the road and got down to buy a box of flu medicine.
âSonia.â Toby patted the woman on the cheek. âHave some flu medicine.â
After calling her several times, Sonia still didnât respond, but she coughed a few times. Hence, he took the medicine, then pinched her jaw and forced the medicine into her mouth.
Soniaâs lips were a bit cold, but very soft. It felt a little seductive, which made it difficult for Toby to control himself as he plunged deeper in.
All of a sudden, the phone on the carâs ammest vibrated.
Toby returned to his senses. His eyes scanned over Soniaâs slightly swollen lips, whereupon he realized what he had just done. His eyebrows twitched, then he answered the phone.
âToby, have you finished discussing the collaboration?â Tinaâs soft voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
âYeahâ
*Then come to the Outlet Mall to pick me and your mom up.â Tina said. âMadam White and I went shopping, but it suddenly started raining heavily. The driver went to school to fetch Tyler. He canât make it, so I called you.â
Toby glanced at Sonia in the passenger seat, then replied in a low volce, âOkay. Iâll be there in 15 minutes.â
âBe careful on the road.â
There was a faint fragrance in the car, which was the smell of the perfume Sonia usually used. The more Toby smelled it, the more troubled he felt.
Taking an umbrella, he got out of the car and called Tom to inform him that he was at the south entrance of Bayside Residence About five minutes later, Tom arrived.
âPresident Fuller.â Tom came over with some clothes. He was a little surprised to See Toby standing beside the car, then he took a look at the car behind him.
Hey, isnât that Miss Reedâs car?
Toby took the clothes and the car keys, then glanced at the car behind him with a knowing gaze. âDrive her car and bring her to the Sheraton Hotel, then ask the attendant to take her temperature.â
âOkay.â Tom replied without asking any questions.
Toby drove to the Outlet Mall, occasionally thinking of Soniaâs stubborn appearance and her soft lips, which disturbed him, He lowered the windows of the car slightly and he felt better after being caressed by the cold wind.
After arriving at the Outlet Mall, Toby quickly spotted Tina and Jean standing at the entrance, both carrying several shopping bags.
He took an umbrella and got out of the car, then hurriedly walked over. âItâs so cold. Why didnât you wait inside?â
Upon seeing him approach, a slight smile appeared at the comers of Tinaâs lips.
âMadam White and I just came out, and Surprisingly, you arrived at the same time.â
Reside her. Jean Snickered, âWho said we just came out? Tina knew that you were coming, so she wanted to come out to wait for you! Donât look at what she bought. All she bought for herself was a coat. The rest are clothes for you.â
âMadam White.â Tina blushed a little after being exposed. âIf you say anything more, Toby will think Iâm not reserved at all.â
âOh, weâre all family. Why are you still being so polite and calling me Madam White?â
Hearing this, Tina blushed even more.
âItâs cold outside. Letâs get into the car first,â Toby urged while taking the shopping bags from Tinaâs hand and covering her head with the umbrella, After Tina got in the car, he went to fetch Jean.
After getting in the car, Jean said, âTina, look at how well Toby takes care of you. He brought you into the car first before coming to fetch me, his own mother. How biased. I think when you really get married, he wonât care about me anymore.â
The grin on Tinaâs face grew wider. Afraid that Jean would tease her again, she changed the subject and asked Toby. âIs this Tomâs car?â
âYeah.â Tobyâs eyes moved, then he said in a low voice, âTom sent my car to 4S Automation for maintenance.â
âNo wonder youâre picking me and Madam White up in his car.â
At this moment, Jean intervened, âI heard Tina say that you were talking to people at Sakura Heights about a cooperation, and you even bought some pastries for Tina. How many boxes did you buy? Let me try some.â
Toby had wanted to determine if the person in Paulâs private room was Sonia, and he left the place with her too afterward.
He completely forgot to buy the pastries.
Toby said, âI was so busy discussing business matters that I forgot about it. I have the bossâ phone number. Iâll get them to send a few boxes home tomorrow.â
âLook at you. How forgetful,â Jena chided. âTina was thinking about you while she was shopping. She bought plenty of stuff for you, but you even forgot to buy pastries for her.â
With that, she took Tinaâs hand and said with a smile, Tina, have dinner at my house tonight. Youâve just recovered, so Iâll cook some soup for you to nourish your body.â
Tina gave her a small smile. âThank you, Madam White.â
At this moment, the phone in her bag vibrated a few times.
After checking and seeing the content and picture in the message, the smile on her face froze.
Chapter 27 âTina, whatâs wrong?â Jean asked, as if sensing that there was something off about Tinaâs expression.
Tina immediately locked her phone and said softly, âItâs nothing. My mother sent me a message asking when Iâm going back. Iâll reply to her later.â
Jean didnât suspect anything and turned to talk to Toby.
After making sure that Jean wasnât looking at her, Tina picked up her phone again and read the message her friend had sent her.
This friend of hers was also playing cards at Sakura Heights today. She said that she w Toby and wanted to say hello, but she saw himchasing after Sonia. Then, the two of them sload by the car and chatted for a long time Tima turned off the volume before clicking on the video She saw Toby saying something to Sonia, then he picked her up and placed her in the driverâs seat of her car before driving away It was just a short ten-second video, but Tina felt chills all over her hands and feet as she held her phone in a firm squeeze.
Arenât they divorced? Then why did Toby get into Soniaâs car? And why did he lie to me?
Tina remembered that at the banquet that night, Toby seemed to be on her side, but as soon as Sonia made the request, he gave her the Oceanâs Heart because he didnât want to humiliate Sonia. And todayâs video...
Tina felt a sense of panic in her heart. She was afraid that even though Toby and Sonia were divorced, Toby still wasnât fully hers.
Could it be that she was destined to be unable to keep something she stole?
When Sonia woke up in the hotel, it was already the next morning.
She remembered being caught in the rain last night and catching a cold, but when she woke up, she felt refreshed.
Sonia soon remembered that Toby had driven her back to Bayside Residence yesterday afternoon. While she was still in a muddled state, she felt someone feeding her something...
Was it Toby?
Sonia banished the images from her mind, then quickly washed up before leaving the hotel.
After arriving at the office, Sonia called Daphne. âDwellsâ boss will come to the office to sign the contract later, so get the contract ready.â
Daphne was surprised. âPresident Reed, you managed to seal the deal with Dwells?â
âYeah. Although Sonia didnât want to admit it, if it hadnât been for Toby coming to the private room yesterday afternoon, Dwells boss wouldnât have relented and taken on Paradigm Co.âs order.
She owed Toby a favor.
âOkay.â Daphne nodded, then quickly went to prepare the contract.
After taking off her coat, Sonia hung it on the hanger. Just as she was about to sit down and settle the documents Daphne had sent, the phone on her desk rang.
She answered, âHello?â
âPresident Reed, a gentleman named Zane wants to see you,â the receptionist reported. âDo you know him?â
Sonia responded, âSend him up.â
Soon, there was a knock on the office door, and the receptionist led a man in.
The man was dressed in comfortable and loose casual clothing; his jet-black hair was thick with the ends slightly curling upward, and his facial features were so perfect that no flaws could be found. He was handsome and carried himself with ease and natural poise.
His narrow eyes swept nonchalantly across the office before finally landing on Sonia âPresident Reed, you adapt really well.â Zane walked toward the desk, then pulled out the chair and sat down. He began makina conversation with Sonia as if they making conversation with Sonia as if they were close friends. âYouâve only been in Paradigm Co, for a few days, but you already possess the spirit of a proper leader. I couldnât tell that youâd been a housewife for six years.â
âI didnât expect that the romantic and suave playboy who couldnât refuse any women would turn out to be the youngest son of the mayor.â When it came to being
sharp-tongued, Sonia was never weak.
Zane raised his eyebrows. âPresident Reed, I was complimenting you for finally being yourself, yet youâre insulting me?â
âI was praising you for being popular with the ladies.â
Zane knew that this woman looked gentle and dignified, but she was extremely good at talking. After adjusting his posture, he said, âI know that Paradigm Co. has an overseas order and wants Dwellsâ factory to produce it, but I know a factor thatâs even better at producing foreign goods.â
âAre you saying that you want to introduce resources to me?â Sonia looked at him in surprise. âWhy?â
Zane shrugged, then spoke in a lazy and casual manner. âWe have a business relationship, donât we? If I have good resources, of course Iâll introduce it to you.
Treat it as a personal favor!â
Sonia didnât believe his nonsense. âMr.
Coleman, weâve only met once before, so weâre not even close with each other, and another man. If I donât get my revenge, Iâd be a sorry excuse of a man...
Sonia looked at the woman in the photo. âYour girlfriend is very beautiful. I didnât expect that there would come a day where you would get cheated on.â
Zane ignored the sympathetic look she was giving him. âYeah. I canât tolerate being cheated on! So, I want to take revenge on Dwells. No friend around me is allowed to cooperate with Dwells. You and I are partners, so of course, you canât cooperate with them either. This standard of the foreign goods this factory produces is higher than Dwellsâ. Believe me.â Zane fiddled with his phone. âIâll send you the number of the person in charge at Rentoor.â
âRentoon?â Sonia was slightly shocked.
She knew about Rentoor Inc. They were a well-known factory in Norfolk. Because of its high quality, many foreign companies approached them to produce their goods.
She even heard that their production orders were scheduled until next year.
Initially, Sonia wanted to approach Rentoon too, but because she didnât have any way to do it, she went for the second best option and chose Dwells.
âIâm very familiar with their business in Norfolk,â Zane explained. When he saw the box of mangoes by the table, he picked one up and peeled it before eating it. âCall him and talk to him first.â
Sonia immediately copied the number given by Zane before dialing it. The other party picked up fairly quickly.
Sonia knew the overseas order like the back of her hand, so her conversation with Rentoorâs commerce department went smoothly. It didnât seem like she was a newbie who had just entered the industry at all; she spoke in such a clear and organized manner that even Zane was looking at her with admiration.
Finally, Rentoorâs staff told Sonia that after signing the contract, they could produce her goods within the time limit, but she needed to go to the factory on Thursday to have a look. The two parties would discuss again before going through with the contract After hanging up the phone, the burden in Soniaâs heart was lifted completely. âZane, youâve done me a huge favor.â
âAs long as you donât cooperate with Dwells, weâre friends.â Zane had finished eating a mango and was wiping his hands with a tissue. âFour Seasons Orchard has good mangoes this year. Did Toby send them?â
As Sonia thought of what happened yesterday afternoon, she frowned. âNo.1 divorced him a long time ago, so I wonât accept the things he sends. A childhood friend of mine bought these. You can bring them back if you like.â
âReally?â Zane raised an eyebrow and gave her a knowing look.
Sonia found the look he was giving her to be strange. After taking a look at the time, she got up and put on her coat. âMr. Coleman, if you donât have any plans for lunch, let me treat you to a meal.â
âSure. Then Iâll have to pick the restaurant well.â Zane followed her out of the office.
âSonia, you b*tch. Come here right now! I must teach you a proper lesson!â
As soon as Sonia came out, she heard the noises outside, and the voice was rather familiar. Looking up, she saw Jean standing not far away from her. With her hands on her hips, she was screaming at Sonia at the top of her lungs.
There were emnloveee around her who There were employees around her who tried to throw her out, but they retreated after being scolded by Jean Sonia walked over in her high heels, then asked calmly, âMadam White, is something wrong?â
âYou b*tch. Youâre finally showing yourself!â When she saw Sonia, Jean became even angrier. She stalked toward Sonia in a rage, then raised her hand to slap Sonia Chapter 28 Sonia was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Fuller Family, so she did not have to bear with Jean anymore. She grasped Jeanâs wrist forcefully and pushed her away which caught the latter completely off guard. Because of that, Jean lost her balance and fell onto the ground. Her image was ruined as she moaned in pain.
âMadam White, please mind your behavior;â Sonia said coldly, âIf youâre going to start throwing hands, I will not hesitate to do the same.â
Jean was boiling in anger. âSonia, how dare you say that to me!â
Previously, when Sonia and Toby were still married, Sonia was extremely obedient to Jean and would never dare to talk back. However, she had changed completely after the divorce.
âI knew you were a b*tch! You have been putting up an act all this while to cotton up to me!â Jean scowled. Despite wearing an elegant dark blue dress, she looked shrewish with her ferocious expression.
âYouâre the one who refused to take a single cent from Toby when you guys divorced! What is this attitude youâre giving me right now? Have you no shame?!â
âItâs true that I didnât take money from Toby.â Sonia looked directly into Jeanâs eyes.
âWhy are you still pestering my son then?!â Jean snarled.
She then took out a stack of pictures from her handbag and distributed them to the staff who were watching, âLook at your boss. What a shameless woman. My son has already divorced her and even has a girlfriend now, but she still refuses to let go of him. She just wonât stop pestering him!â
After distributing the pictures, Jean threw the remaining pictures at Sonia. âTake a look for yourself. How could you be so shameless to ask Toby to carry you into the car?!â
The pictures which Jean threw hit Sonia before landing on the ground. Sonia picked up a couple of them and saw Toby and her in themâshe was talking to Tohv hecide in them-she was talking to Toby beside the car while holding an umbrella. Because the two of them were standing close to each other, it seemed as if she was hugging Toby. On the other hand, the second picture was the scene of Toby carrying her into the car.
Little did Sonia expect that someone had secretly captured pictures of Toby and her when they were at the car park yesterday afternoon.
Jean pointed at Sonia and continued to reprimand, âTinaâs father has apologized to you regarding the video, but youâre such an ungrateful brat! You do know that Tina likes mangoes, donât you? And yet you dared to ask Toby to send mangoes to your company!â
Sonia was startled by Jeanâs words. She didnât know Tina liked mangoes and thought that the box of mangoes was from Charles. It turned out that it wasnât the âIâm warning you, Sonia-you better stay away from my son! The reason Toby agreed to marry you six years ago was because of Tina. Otherwise, given your status, do you think you deserve to be with Toby?â
Seeing Soniaâs pale face, Zane quickly stood up to mediate. âMadam White, although Miss Reed and Toby have divorced, they are still friends. The pictures must be a misunderstanding, Why donât you go back and ask Toby about it?â
âIf she didnât seduce Toby, why would he carry her into the car?â Jean questioned, âMaybe Miss Reed was feeling unwell, and Toby merely helped her out of kindness. Madam White, this is Miss Reedâs office after all. Youâll put her in a difficult situation by causing such a scene,â Zane said politely However, Jean darted a glare at Zane and thereafter looked at Sonia with her eyes filled with contempt. Then, she sneered in a loud and sharp voice, âHa! Youâre really good at seducing men, Sonia. Not only did you seduce the model, but you wonât even spare Tobyâs friend!â
With that, Zane was rendered speechless.
Meanwhile, seeina how Jean was beina increasingly unreasonable, Sonia grabbed a cup of coffee from a staffâs table and splashed it toward Jeanâs face. The coffee was still warm as it was splashed onto Jeanâs face and her dress. Screaming, Jean quickly took some napkins to wipe the stains on her dress.
âYou b*tch!â Jean almost wanted to tear Sonia into pieces when her favorite dress was stained. Nevertheless, before she could do anything, the securities had rushed up and held her down.
Sonia put the coffee cup back on the table and stared at Jean coldly. âPresident Fuller is a renowned man in the business circle. I hope that you will conduct yourself better, Madam White, lest other people think President Fullerâs mother is a rude shrew.
Also, this is Paradigm Co.-my company.
Therefore, please make an appointment at the concierge if you would like to see me. If a situation like this happens again, FH ask my lawyer to talk to you, Madam White.â
Before Jean could blow up, Sonia ordered the two securities, âMadam White here has disrupted everyoneâs work. Please send her out.â
âLet go of me! Iâm going to kill this b*tch!â
Jean was still cursing Sonia as she was dragged out by the securities, and she looked like a shrew indeed.
Meanwhile, the staff sensibly dismissed themselves and went back to their desks to work.
âMy apologies, Mr. Coleman.â Sonia smiled faintly while wiping the coffee stain which spattered onto her sleeve.
Thereafter, the two went into the lift. Zane couldnât stop glancing at Sonia as he rubbed his chin with his slender fingers and commented, âI realize youâve changed a lot after divorcing Tobyâ
Before Toby and Sonia had divorced, Zane had gone to the Fullersâ residence a few times and had seen the way Jean treated Sonia like a servant, ordering her about. On the other hand, Sonia would always obey her commands in a servile manner. As such, Zane was very surprised to see Soniaâs domineering stance today when she splashed coffee at Jean and taught her a lesson.
âYeah. Thanks to Toby,â Sonia said in sarcasm.
She married Toby six years ago because she loved him. She had been an obedient daughter-in-law and served the Fullers while bearing with Jeanâs scolding and unreasonableness, thinking that by doing so, Toby would be moved and fall in love with her.
Nonetheless, it was only later on did she realize it was just her wishful thinking.
There was already someone else in Tobyâs heart, so no matter how she loved him humbly and wholeheartedly, she wouldnât be able to capture his heart.
âItâs not a bad thing that you guys divorced. I reckon no woman will dare to marry into the Fullers aiven Madam Whiteâs character.â Zane freaked out at the thought of Jeanâs fierce look. Toby is amazing for not being psychologically distorted having a mother like this.â Then, he changed the topic and asked Sonia, âThe model seems pretty decent. When do you guys plan to get married?â
Sonia wasnât that close with Zane and thought she didnât have to tell him everything, so she answered, âCarl is quite busy and has gone on a business trip overseas.â
Hearing that, Zane perceived that the two were indeed dating, and he hummed in response.
When the lift arrived on the ground floor, a message came into Zaneâs phone. He glanced at it and turned to Sonia. âMiss Reed, Iâll take a rain check on the lunch as I have some matters to attend to.â âSure.â Sonia nodded and sent Zane out of the company After arriving at Majestique, Zane found the private room and entered it. Seeing that Toby was already here, Zane said immediately. âYour mother was making a scene at Paradigm Co. just now.â
Toby frowned. âWhat did she do?â
âSigh. Itâs because of the person who took pictures of you carrying Sonia into the car.â
Zane sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. âI have no idea how she got those pictures. She went to find Sonia in her company and scolded her for being shameless and seducing you even alier you guys are divorced.â
Zane continued asking with interest, Whatâs going on? Are you the one seducing Sonia?â
âNo.â Toby shot Zane a cold glance and explained in a displeased tone, âShe wasnât feeling well after being caught in the rain yesterday afternoon. I was worried that she would cause a car accident if she drove, so I decided to send her back, but she was stubborn and insisted on getting a temporary driver.â
âSheâs right. She could have just gotten a driver. Question is, why were you, her ex husband, worried about her?â Zane tutted.
âThanks to your âkind act, your mother went to Paradigm Co. and called Sonia Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again ï¤Chapter 25 There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia)
ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending âSheâs right. She could have just gotten a driver. Question is, why were you, her ex husband, worried about her?â Zane tutted, âThanks to your âkind act, your mother went to Paradigm Co. and called Sonia names in front of all her colleagues.â
Upon hearing that, Toby was rendered speechless.
