On the other hand, Sonia closed her eyes. When she reopened her eyes, she had already gathered her emotions as she pursed her lips. “May, you better watch out!” After saying that, she hung up the phone and threw her device on her desk. No one could gauge her current expression as her head was lowered. However, the depressing aura around her revealed how upset she was. Sonia couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if May never helped Tina back then. Would I have met John if nothing went wrong? If that was the case, Sonia would have found out that John was her crush, Toby, and he would have known that she was the person whom he had been in love with—Maple.
Would it have meant that they would be together happily? Still, all of these were just imaginary scenarios. A lot had happened since then and there was no way for Sonia and Toby to return to the past to change history. At the thought of that, she massaged her cheeks before she composed herself. Then, she reached out for the landline and summoned Daphne to her office. “Do you need anything, President Reed?” When Daphne noticed that Sonia’s eyes were red, she asked worriedly, “Have you been crying, President Reed?” “No!” Sonia’s eyes faltered a little as she lied before she quickly changed the topic. “I want you to head to the investigation firm and investigate someone for me.” “Go on, President Reed.” “I need you to investigate a person named May Snyder, who used to be my university coursemate.
I want to know where she’s working and who’s her current boss!” Sonia narrowed her eyes slightly before a dark glint flashed past her eyes. She couldn’t care why May had betrayed her since a betrayal was as such after all and May should be punished for her deeds. Sonia wanted May to understand the consequences of betraying her! “Alright.” Daphne nodded and immediately went to work. At the same time, Tom was driving the Maybach before he glanced at Toby seated behind from the rearview mirror. Although Tom was conflicted, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “President Fuller, have you explained everything to Miss Reed?”
Toby’s eyes glistened slightly before he hummed and looked out from the car window. Immediately, Tom’s eyes brightened. “Then, did she forgive you?” “No,” Toby answered as he pursed his lips while Tom almost slammed his foot on the brakes. “No?! How is that even possible? Why won’t she forgive you when you have already explained that you were her penpal? Didn’t you tell her that you mistook her for Tina?” “I did, but she was really offended that I couldn’t even recognize her during those six years of marriage,” Toby lowered his gaze and explained. “I see.” Tom’s lips twitched a little before he added quickly, “I guess I would be offended if I was Miss Reed as well.
I wouldn’t mind if you mistook someone else for me in the first place, but I would be pissed that you couldn’t even recognize me after six years. Still, the only reason why you couldn’t recognize Miss Reed was due to the fact that you were hypnotized. If you weren’t, I’m sure you would have realized that Tina was a fake.” Nevertheless, Toby remained silent and didn’t say anything. Tom suddenly recalled something before his eyes widened and he asked, “President Fuller, if Miss Reed knew that you couldn’t recognize her because you were hypnotized, why didn’t she—” “I didn’t tell her that I was hypnotized,” Toby answered lightly. At this moment, Tom was taken aback. “Why?” Is he dumb?!
“Why?” Tom was confused. Then, Toby’s gaze darkened before he explained, “She doesn’t love me anymore. Even if she forgives me, she would never marry me again.” “I see.” Tom nodded in realization before he asked again, “If Miss Reed doesn’t want to be married to you again, what would you—” “I’ll never give up!” Toby’s eyes were narrowed and filled with determination. How could I give up on a woman whom I had loved for more than ten years? I must win her heart! Suddenly, the sound of Toby’s phone ringing shattered his thoughts. He took his phone out with a frown to see that it was another call from Titus. Toby was unable to accept Titus’ call when he was in Sonia’s office earlier, which resulted in Titus calling him again.
“Toby, what’s up with this attitude of yours? Tina is your fiancée! How could you be so calm when your fiancée is missing?! You’re—” “President Gray!” Toby coldly interrupted. A stunned Titus queried, “W-What did you just call me?” Why did Toby address me as President Gray when he used to address me as Titus?! “President Gray, I remember that I have clearly mentioned that I’m calling off my engagement to Tina when I was last at your place. I’m sure Mrs. Gray would have told you about it since she was there as well,” Toby reminded the man coldly. Titus felt like his throat was as dry as the Sahara desert before he clarified a few seconds later, “Julia did tell me about it, but wasn’t it a joke?”
