Chapter 82
Lowering her eyes, Tina hid the grim look in them and replied in a panicky tone, “I didn’t do that. You’ve
misunderstood me, Miss Stryder! |—”
“Say no more!” Melody cut her off coldly and sneered at her. “Mark my words, Tina Gray! We’re no longer friends
from now on, and I won’t let you off! Just you wait!” With that, she hung up on her.
As Tina stared at the screen of her cell phone, she pursed her lips, which had turned a little pale.
In fact, she had already seen the news about what happened to the Stryder Family in the morning, and she had
also prepared herself that Melody would blame it on her. However, she wasn’t expecting Melody to have such a
deep hatred for her and even threatened that she wouldn’t let her off.
Tina’s fist tightened as her heart started to beat anxiously. Although the Stryder Family was in trouble now, they were still influential and could easily deal with her and the Grays. Therefore, she had to do something about it.
At the thought of this, she bit her lower lip and gripped her arms tightly. Tears rolled down her cheeks suddenly,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)
and she left the room after grabbing her handbag. Then, she instructed the driver to drop her off at Fuller Group.

As the employees all knew her, nobody stood in her way, so she reached the top floor smoothly before opening
the door to Toby’s office.
“Toby.” she muttered in a choked voice, her face tear-streaked.
Meanwhile, Toby was in the midst of a work discussion with Zane, and just when they had reached the most
important part, she had barged in out of the blue, forcing them to stop.
“Oh, what happened now, Miss Gray?” Zane asked, stroking his chin and looking at Tina with an amused glint in
his eyes.
Ignoring him, Tina merely stared straight at Toby, tears brimming in her eyes.
Setting down the document in his hands, Toby then stood up, a frown on his face as he asked, “What happened,
Tina?”
Tina pouted and dashed directly into his arms. For the first couple of seconds, Toby’s arms were raised mid-way
in the air before he placed them on her shoulder and back before patting her gently.
“Leave the room for now,” Toby said to Zane. Zane simply shrugged and cast a thoughtful look at Tina in Toby’s
arms before turning to go, leaving the both of them alone in the office.
After pulling herself away from Toby’s embrace, Tina lifted her head and said in an aggrieved tone,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)
“Miss
Stryder’s family is in trouble, Toby. She’s placing all the fault on me, even saying that she won’t let me off. The fact is… I wasn’t the one who asked her to get even with Sonia. Why is she shifting all the blame on me? I don’t
get it.”
“Get even with Sonia?” Toby repeated, his eyes narrowed. “What happened?”
Tina was feeling rather frustrated as she thought, After I’ve said so much, all that he heard was ‘get even with
Sonia’?!
Although that was on her mind, she didn’t have the nerve to show it, so she sniffled before explaining, “Miss
Stryder came to visit me at the hospital yesterday and asked me how I ended up there. So, I told her that I was
abducted by Miss Reed’s suitor. Miss Stryder said she would avenge me by causing trouble for Miss Reed. I tried to stop her, but she refused to listen, and she’s blaming me now, saying that I’m the one who got her and her family into trouble…”
As though she had suffered a great grievance, she broke into tears again as she spoke.
Seeing how sadly she was crying, Toby felt a stab in his heart.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)
He lifted her head, drew out a piece of tissue and
wiped away her tears. “There, there. Stop crying.”
“Toby, what should I do now that Miss Stryder said that she won’t let me off? I’m so scared,” she whimpered
while looking at him with reddened eyes.
Toby’s lips were pulled into a thin line and he told her, “Don’t worry, I won’t let her harm you.”
“Mmh. I trust you, Toby.” She sniffled and leaned against his chest, looking like she was dependent on him. However, her lips were curled ever so slightly into a smirk when he couldn’t see her face, and a triumphant look flashed in her eyes.
With his protection, Melody wouldn’t be a threat to her anymore because the Fuller Family was anything but a
Shaking her head, she answered, “I’m not afraid anymore. You’re so good to me, Toby.”
As he stared into her expectant eyes, his lips parted and he said, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)
“Okay.”
Shocked, Tina stared at him blankly with reddened eyes. “You’re pushing me away again, Toby?”
Even Toby knew how his actions had hurt her, so he lowered his eyes apologetically. “I’m sorry, Tina, but this is the office…”
Fixing his eyes on her, he asked in return, “What makes you think this way?”
