count with one hand the number of times we conversed every day. All you see is Miss Gray, and no one

else.”

She used to go to the hospital daily to take care of Tina, She knew how her

marriage to Toby came about, and she

knew who Toby truly wanted, so she wanted to use the excuse of looking after Tina to make him see

more of

her.

Nevertheless, for the past six years, all

she got from Toby was indifference.

Hearing this, Toby re-examined the red

lipped Sonia, who was dressed in a

black dress and exuding a slightly cold

demeanor. He found that this version

As soon as Charles spoke, the sound of the guests taking in sharp breaths could be heard. Everyone

was shocked as their gaze fell on Tina, then Sonia.

The expert has confirmed that the video

is real, so if Charles is telling the truth.

Toby was caught by surprise as well.

He looked at the woman standing in

front of him, then his eyes darkened,

and he asked, “Sonia, why didn’t you

tell me?”

“Would you have believed me if I told

you?” Sonia retorted in a slightly

sarcastic tone. “President Fuller, we

were married for six years, yet I can

of her and the virtuous woman who

used to wait for him to come home

seemed like two different people.

He then remembered that before the

two of them got divorced, he and Sonia rarely talked. He never asked about her day or about her friends.

It seems like I never really got to know

her.

The two of them only exchanged a

couple of remarks, then Toby said

nothing else. Beside him, Tina was

keenly aware that the man’s heart had softened, and he seemed to want to defend Sonia.

Tina quickly swept her gaze across the

of me for the past few years. This is a gift my father gave me last time. Now, I’m giving it to you as a

thank-you gift.”

When the jewelry box was opened, a

crown embedded with diamonds on the black velvet shimmered under the

light.

“H-Isn’t this the crown Princess Lilith

wore during her wedding?”

“President Gray really spoils his

daughter!”

Among the guests, those who were fond of jewelry recognized the crown,

and they all exclaimed that although it was incomparable to the Ocean’s

quesis, then she fiercely gritted her teeth and took a step forward before

bowing to Sonia

“Miss Reed, I didn’t expect that all

these years, you’d been constantly going to the hospital to donate blood to me. You’ve been so kind to

me…”

Tina choked, her eyes gradually turning

red as she bowed to Sonia once more.

“I’m sorry…”

When she looked up, she cast a

meaningful glance at the crowd, then

continued apologizing to Sonia. “I’m

sorry about the video. My father loves

me too much, and a mistake was made

during the investigation that caused us

to think that you were the one who

crashed into me.”

“Miss Gray, you don’t have to be so

courteous. I’m two months younger than you.” Sonia didn’t appreciate her apology, and she even calmly

shot Toby a look

It turned out that Tina’s father was the

one who leaked the video. At first,

Sonia thought Toby was the one

brutally attacking her.

Tina lowered her head and pursed her

pale red lips.

In no time, Tina saw the jewelry box

the servant brought over. After

retrieving it, she handed it to Sonia.

“Miss Reed, thank you for taking care

Heart, it was extremely luxurious, and they lamented how much Titus loved his daughter.

When Titus saw the crown, his

expression changed,

But, he knew why his daughter was

giving this piece of jewelry to Sonia. Stepping forward with a cold expression, he said to Sonia in a

considerably pleasant tone, “Regarding

the video, I’d wrongly accused you,

Miss Reed. Thank you for taking care

of my daughter. Please accept this piece of jewelry!”

Sonia stood with her legs slightly

parted, and she took one sweeping

alance at the crown full of diamonds,

but she showed no intention of taking

it from Tina’s hands,

Seeing that she wasn’t accepting it,

Tina stated, “When Princess Lilith got

married, she asked a designer from Van Cleef & Arpels to design it. Many

years ago, my father got it at the

Sotheby’s auction house for 60

million.”

As she continued, her voice dropped. “This is also my favorite piece of jewelry. I really want to thank you,

Miss Reed. That’s why I’m giving it to you.”

The guests could hear how bad Tina felt, and they could see that Sonia

Sonia was the one in the wrong,

causing Toby to frown when he heard

them.

“Toby.” Tina looked back at Toby and whispered. “I really didn’t know about Miss Reed donating blood to

me at the

hospital. Believe me. Help me persuade Miss Reed and get her to accept my thank-you gift.”

Looking at her frail frame and pale lips,

Toby felt mildly distressed.

“Sonia, both Tina and Mr. Gray have

apologized to you,” Toby said in his

deep voice. “The thank-you gift that

Tina is giving you is worth a lot, so just

take it *

wasn’t accepting the jewelry. Her posture was arrogant, as if she was

Waging a war

“Sonia, don’t be unreasonable. Miss Gray has already apologized.”

“That’s right. Mr. Gray was just eager to

protect his daughter, which was why he

made such a careless mistake. And

hasn’t he apologized to you?”

“Miss Gray is giving you her precious

jewelry as a thank-you gift, yet you’re

not accepting it. What else do you

want?”

When the guests spoke, their remarks

were harsher than the next. It was as if

take it.”

Sonia knew that no matter how innocent she was, Toby would still stand by Tina’s side.

But, when she heard him say that, her hand around her arm tightened fiercely. and her heart was in such

immense pain that it felt like it was being pierced

by needles.

It was simply ridiculous that she loved

a man like him for eight years!

When Charles, who was watching the

scene unfold from the sidelines, saw

that Toby was bullying Sonia, he

became furious and wanted to rush

toward him. “Toby, you f*cking”

After passing his gaze over her bright face, he asked in a deep voice, “What else do you want?”

“I want the thing in your hand-the

Ocean’s Heart.” Sonia pointed to the

jewelry box he was holding in his hand,

looking completely serious.

“No,” Tina interrupted Sonia. In a

dejected and aggrieved manner, she

said, “Miss Reed, I know you’re upset

with me because of the video. You can

have the jewelry in my collection, but

not the Ocean’s Heart. This is the

necklace Toby proposed to me with…”

The guests were angry and dissatisfied as well. “That’s right! Sonia, you’re

“Charles.” Sonia stretched out her hand

to stop him.

After spending the entire night out, she

was a little tired. Just as she was

about to tell Charles that they should

leave, she caught sight of the smug smile on Tina’s face from the corner of

her eye.

That‘s right. I‘m here today to get

revenge, not to save them from

humiliation

After swallowing her words, Sonia pressed Charles’s hand, and her eyes

grew slightly cold. “T’ll handle this.”

In her high heels, she turned around to

face Tina

Caught off guard by Sonia’s actions, Tina put away the smile on her face in

a panic, then she handed over the

jewelry box again.

“Miss Gray, for the past few years, I’d

been going to the hospital to donate

blood to you, so my body is very weak

now,” Sonia said while brushing her

fingers over the crown full of diamonds. “Thanking me with this crown isn’t really enough, is it?”

Sonia looked toward Toby, then asked with a smile, “President Fuller, what do you think?”

crossing a line, Miss Gray is giving you such an expensive crown, yet you still want the Ocean’s Heart

“Are you dissatisfied because

President Fuller divorced you, so you’re deliberately retaliating against him?”

Turning a deaf ear to the insults they were throwing at her, Sonia looked at Toby. “President Fuller, don’t

you love Miss Gray very much? Miss Gray, you‘re the one who wants to thank me, so why are you

refusing to give me the thank-you gift?”
