Chapter 565 Sowing Discord

“Sonia?” Will felt this name was somewhat familiar. He pondered on it before he immediately thought of

something and suddenly clapped his hands. “So, you are the friend whom my fiancée has mentioned to

me, and also the lady that President Fuller spoke briefly about before. Nice to meet you.”

Then, he extended his hand toward Sonia. She looked at his hand with a frown, somewhat not wanting

to engage in a handshake. However, she was not Toby who could simply ignore the other party. Thus,

she had to shake Will’s hand to avoid offending him. Otherwise, he might cause her trouble, especially

now that they were abroad and in his territory.

A helpless Sonia forced a smile as she extended her hand to take Will’s proffered hand.

At this moment, Toby suddenly reached over and gently pressed her hand down, preventing her from

shaking Will’s hand. When she looked at Toby in surprise, he shook his head at her and looked at Will

before explaining, “It’s not necessary to shake hands.”

Will suddenly reacted by laughing when he saw Toby’s dominance. “Sorry, I wasn’t being courteous and

forgot the relationship between you and Miss Reed. I hope you don’t mind, President Fuller.” After he

said those words, he hurriedly lowered his hand.

While listening to Will’s words, Sonia pursed her lips. He must have understood the nature of my

relationship with Toby since he thought we were a couple. However, Sonia didn’t clear the air by telling

the truth. After all, Toby had just helped her avoid shaking hands with Will, so she couldn’t possibly not

show Toby some respect.

“Alright, what do you want?” Toby removed his hand from Sonia’s wrist and looked at Will before asking

in an indifferent tone.

Will waved his hand. “It’s nothing. It’s just that I saw you here, President Fuller, so I came over to say

hello to you.”

“In that case, we should go now that we have exchanged pleasantries.” After saying that, Toby pulled the

car door open again.

Now that Jessica noticed Sonia and the others leaving, she hurriedly said after keeping silent with a

decent smile earlier, “Wait a minute.”

As a result of that, Sonia and Toby stopped in their tracks. As for Will, he admonished Jessica with a

hard face, “What are you doing?”

Jessica feigned that she hadn’t heard Will’s words and didn’t spare him a glance. After taking a deep

breath, she took a step forward and put on what she thought was her most beautiful smile before

addressing Toby with a soft, delicate voice, “How could you guys just leave? I haven’t introduced myself

yet. My name is Jess—”

“There’s no need to since we’re not interested.” Before Jessica could even finish with her introduction,

Toby had directly interrupted her with an impatient tone.

The smile on Jessica’s face stiffened as she never expected that he wouldn’t show due respect for her

feelings. She was embarrassed and exasperated at that moment since she didn’t know how to continue

with the conversation as she stood there.

When she saw that Jessica was upset, Sonia felt especially pleased and looked at Toby with approval

before mouthing, “Well done.”

As Toby never expected Sonia to praise him, he simply chuckled. The moment that Jessica saw their

interaction, it gave rise to her jealousy. She clenched her fists and spoke again, “Sonia, since you’re my

dear sister, why won’t you introduce me to this gentleman?”

“Sister?” Will froze as his gaze alternated between Jessica and Sonia. “You two are… sisters?!”

“Yes, Will. Sonia and I are biological sisters.” Jessica looked at the outraged Sonia and gently stroked

her hair with a smug. Since Toby was unwilling to listen to her self-introduction, surely he wouldn’t refuse

to listen if she dragged Sonia along, right? No matter what, I must make this man remember my name

today!

“Oh, that’s right,” a surprised Will added. “This lady is Sonia Reed whereas you are Jessica Reed. You

guys share the same last name, which means that you are really sisters.”

“Of course we are. We’re half-sisters from the same father.”

“Sorry, we are not sisters. I can’t acknowledge someone who doesn’t even recognize her own father as

my sister,” Sonia coldly replied as she furrowed her eyebrows.

It was only then that Will realized that the pair of sisters never exchanged a single greeting since the

moment they met earlier. Since they were avoiding speaking to each other, it seemed like they had an

acrimonious relationship.

“How can you say that, Sonia?” An aggrieved Jessica stared at Sonia and asked, “Since when have I not

acknowledged our father? Why do you want to accuse me of such a thing and wrong me?”

“I have wronged you?” Sonia pointed at herself and laughed in exasperation.

Toby rested his hand on her shoulder and gently patted her, indicating to her not to be angry. Then, he

lowered his head to look at Jessica like an eagle visually marking an ant, “Sonia never lies. If she says

those words, it must be true.”

“Sir, how can you misunderstand me based on my sister’s words? I am my father’s daughter, so how can

I not acknowledge him? You must have misunderstood me from my actions. Maybe it’s because our

father died many years ago and I didn’t return to pay my respects to him, so you…”

With that, Jessica lowered her head, tears swimming in her eyes.

Sonia felt an oncoming headache and interrupted, “Enough! You don’t need to put on an act here as I

don’t buy it. You’re simply disgusting. Let’s go.” She glanced at Toby, who responded with a slight nod

before he opened the car door once again.

When Jessica saw this, she secretly gritted her teeth. Are you going to leave? No way!

She hadn’t even chatted with this handsome man and sowed discord between him and Sonia yet, so

how could she let them leave?

“Sonia!” She shouted in a hurry, “We haven’t seen each other for so long. How about looking for a place

to have a good chat?”

She walked toward Sonia and stretched her hand in an attempt to pull Sonia’s arm. When Sonia noticed

what Jessica was doing, she lifted her arm to avoid coming into contact with Jessica. However, at this

moment, Jessica suddenly screamed and fell to the ground at once, thereafter bruising her arm.

“Sonia, why did you push me?” She held her arm and raised her head to look at Sonia with disbelief and

hurt, as if Sonia was the most evil person.

The corners of Sonia’s mouth twitched in response. “Do you believe me when I say I didn’t touch her?”

She looked at the man beside her, who nodded with his slightly curved thin lips. “Of course.”

His unhesitating answer made Sonia feel extremely satisfied. After that, she turned to look at Jessica.

“You said I pushed you, right?”

Jessica lowered her head and retorted, “It’s impossible for me to fall by myself.”

She was clearly implying that it was Sonia who pushed her down. Sonia was furious and narrowed her

eyes. “Since you have said so, then wouldn’t it be a waste if I didn’t actually push you to prove your

accusation?”

“W-What are you going to do?” Jessica’s heart suddenly raced as a sense of foreboding rose in her

when Sonia’s tone and expression made her recollect what happened back in the restroom.

“What am I going to do? Of course I’m going to push you!” Upon saying that, Sonia bent down to pull

Jessica up from the ground before forcefully shoving Jessica’s shoulder. Her action had caused Jessica

to stumble and fall heavily onto the ground, which had shocked Jessica to the point where she forgot to

yell in pain.

It was only after a while that she reacted and howled in pain with a contorted face. “Sonia! You—”

She never expected that Sonia would actually dare to push her!

“What about me?” Sonia remained in front of Jessica and looked at her with the same gaze as Toby

earlier. “Jessica, you are really something. Normal people will keep a distance from those whom they

know dislike them, but you are different. You are clearly aware that I do not like you, yet you still have the

nerve to approach us for a chat. Aren’t you a self-imposed wh*re?”

“You!” Jessica’s face was red with anger. To her side, Will looked at the overbearing Sonia and couldn’t

help but swallow his saliva. God, this woman looks like a good girl on the outside, but I didn’t expect her

to be a tough cookie. How could President Fuller fancy such a harsh woman?

He shot a glance at Toby, but noticed that Toby was looking at Sonia with pride. Will’s mouth instantly

twitched. Well, President Fuller’s taste is indeed unique. He likes such a woman. Besides, looking at how

he supports that woman to physically attack others, I’m afraid that he would help to cover the crime if this

woman really kills someone, right?
