Chapter 46

Chapter 46

While shivering in fear, Tyler quickly hung up the phone and he carried his bag on his shoulder before

rushing toward the door. He didn’t wait for Sonia to make the

request.

However, before leaving, he turned around and warned, “You have received my gifts,

which means that you must come to

school and help me this Saturday! If you dare to tell Toby about this, I’ll tell him that you are already

sleeping with another man right after your divorce!”

Upon listening to him, Sonia was rendered

speechless.

Tyler ran to the south gate as fast as he

could-which was exactly in two minutes.

The moment he arrived at the side of the road, he could already see Toby casually

sitting on the driver’s seat of his sports car

as the smoke from Toby’s cigarette

lingered around his fingers.

Tyler immediately sat on the passenger seat as he panted before he fastened his

seatbelt.

However, due to Toby’s cold stare and gloomy aura, Tyler didn’t dare to utter a word while he kept his

head lowered.

While waiting for the car to move on the

road, Toby finally opened his mouth.

“Didn’t I tell you not to look for her? Are my words a joke to you?”

“I didn’t have any money on me…”

“There are several hotels under the Fuller Group. Did you really think that no one

would know that you are the Young Master

of the Fuller Family?” he sneered.

“My stomach has been acting funny lately, so I came to her for help. Don’t you know how good your

wife’s cooking is?” Tyler refused to cave under Toby’s line of questioning. However, the moment Tyler’s

words came out of his mouth, he seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and quickly

corrected himself. “1-L mean your ‘ex-wife’. Toby, I know that you

two are divorced, but can’t I come to her place for a meal? Besides, she is the one who invited me in for

a meal. It’s not like!

forced her to do so.”

Again, the man let out a sarcastic chuckle as he clearly didn’t believe a word Tyler said, so Tyler carefully

continued with his

words. “Toby, I can see that Sonia is actually a nice person.”

As he hoped that Sonia could come to school and help him out, he tried to put in

a few good words for her in front of Toby,

but he also believed that she was a good

person in his heart. Sometimes, it takes our

own eyes to judge whether a person is good or not instead of blindly listening to others.

Upon witnessing Toby’s silence, Tyler

summoned the courage to continue

speaking, “I heard that her company isn’t doing well lately. Can you please help her? Maybe you could

teach her on managing a business whenever you are free. After all,

business whenever you are free. After all, she didn’t ask anything from you as

alimony when she divorced you, so her life isn’t going

well-“I don‘t think I should tell him that Sonia has dated someone online before.

After all, who doesn‘t have a past?

However, Toby immediately interrupted

Tyler. “Does your face still hurt?”

Tyler grazed the inside of his mouth with

his tongue and answered, “It was, but once

she applied medicine on the wound, the

pain subsided.”

“When we return home, I want you to apologize to Mom. Also, you should stop playing basketball and

focus on your studies instead.” Toby placed his hand on

the car window sill as he wore a grim

expression. “When I was sixteen, Dad had

already started assigning me to a handful

of businesses to deal with. He even asked

me to join the company’s management

team.”

Upon listening to him, Tyler’s eyes darkened as he wanted to say something. However, Toby didn’t give

him a chance to speak and asked, “Do you prefer to study abroad starting from tomorrow?”

Since Tyler lacked the courage to go against his brother, he lowered his head

and remained quiet.

At the same time, Sonia didn’t think much about Tyler’s words as she was busy with

meetings and paperwork.

She asked her team to arrange a meeting

with him to discuss the acquisition of the

Continental Co. when Charles had the time to come over to Paradigm Co. After analyzing the means and

methods of the

takeover, they finally came to an

agreement.

If they were able to consolidate the company, Continental Co. would be a compatible asset alongside

Paradigm Co.

Not to mention, Sonia also had the funds

to make her purchase.

However, there were far too many people

who wanted to acquire the Continental Co,

so the owner was so frustrated that he

went abroad for a holiday in December and

never returned since. On top of that, he

never answered his phone, which made it

Sonia tried to get in touch with the owner

of the Continental Co. for the past few

days through her connections, but to no

avail.

She was close to being frustrated with the

situation when she received numerous

calls from Tyler in the morning, asking her

when she would come to his school.

Therefore, she immediately blocked his

number.

However, Tyler was able to reach Sonia in

the end after using his school’s landline to

call, but he didn’t have an arrogant tone.

There was instead a hint of plea in his

words.”I’ve put in a good word for you when Toby picked me up that night. Can you please help me just

this once? I beg vou If you don’t come my life is

completely over.”

While she listened to him, Sonia didn’t

know whether to be angry or laugh. As a

sixteen-year–old brat, he has his whole life in

front of him, but he has now given up just

because he can‘t play basketball anymore?

She ruthlessly hung up the phone and ignored Tyler. However, once she was done with her work, she

suddenly felt sorry for him when she remembered his pleas on the

phone. After knowing him for so long, this is the first time I‘ve seen him

pleading to someone other than his brother.

“President Reed, are you busy?” Rebecca knocked on the open door before she entered. “My granny

hasn’t been in good health lately, so I’d like to take a three day

leave to visit her.”

Upon listening to Rebecca mentioning her family, Sonia suddenly thought of Rose,

whom she had stopped contacting after

the divorce from Toby. I wonder whether she is in good health.

“Alright. If the situation is critical, I can

also allow you to leave earlier today,” Sonia answered. “You can also stay at home for a few more days if

you want to. You can

hand me the slip afterward.”

Rebecca’s eyes immediately brightened. “Wow, you really are nice, Sonia. Not only are you beautiful,

your heart is also lovely!”

However, she was not in a hurry to leave after she received the slip. Instead, she

asked Sonia, “President Reed, I have a

poor friend who works three jobs a day. I

really want to help him, but I’m afraid of hurting his self-esteem. Can you please

help me?”

“How old is he? What is he good at?” Sonia asked. “If he doesn’t know anything, he can also be a

security guard here at Paradigm Co. I’ll give him a higher salary.”

Since Rebecca and Charles were alumni of

the same university, she was willing to

help Rebecca to take care of her friend.

“I’ve already arranged everything. I just need your approval.” Rebecca smiled. “I can ask him to be your

driver. You can call

him whenever you need to head

somewhere and I’ll help to pay for his

It was true that Sonia needed a driver to

transport her around from time to time. “It’s fine. I can pay for his salary. After all, your income isn’t that

high.”

“I’m fine with it. I own a house in the city and it can be sold for quite a lot of money. The selling price

would be enough to pay him a year’s worth of salary.” Rebecca waved her hands, showing that she was

alright with paying him.

Sonia was startled for a moment before

she asked, “Is that your only house?”

“I have a few houses as well as a couple of

villas.” Rebecca tried to remember. “My mom bought all of it, but I’ve lost count of how many she

purchased. Are you looking for a house at the moment? I can sell you

Meanwhile, Sonia was rendered

speechless as she rubbed her head.

Moments ago, she was worried that

Rebecca’s salary wasn’t high enough, but it

so happened that Rebecca was merely

gaining experience through her current work. In the end, it was Sonia who was actually the poor one.

Sonia had planned on visiting Tyler’s school later, so she handed over her car keys to Rebecca. Then,

Sonia had asked Rebecca’s friend to come to drive her

there.

Fifteen minutes later, Rebecca called.

“President Reed, he is now waiting for you downstairs. Try to be careful when you’re speaking with him

to avoid him knowing

“I understand.”

After packing her stuff, Sonia left the company and walked straight to her car before opening the door.

“Are you Rebecca’s friend?” While asking

him, she turned her head and prepared to tell the driver her destination. However, at

the same time, the driver had also turned

to look at her with a hint of joy in his

narrow eyes.

As the two of them stared at each other,

Zane lifted his hand and waved at her.

“Hello, President Reed.”
