Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 951

Chapter 951 The Fatal Blow

“You’ve got the wrong idea, Sonia. I’m your family friend, so how can I possibly not wish you well?” Asher was a sly old fox in every sense of the word, so he could keep his countenance even when Sonia exposed his dark side. “I don’t mean anything else by saying these things. I just thought that since President Fuller and you are a couple, you should let him know some of your past instead of hiding it from him, or it’ll be unfair to him. What do you think?”

Sonia sneered. “President Dafoe, you always sound like you have some sort of moral authority.”

“You’ve got to be joking Sonia.”

“Too bad, though.” Sonia stared at him frostily. “Do you think Toby is unaware of what you just said?”

“What?” Asher was startled.

Sonia continued, “Or do you think that you—an outsider—know more than he does?” At this moment, she had regained her composure and calmed down. At first, she had really worried that Toby would mind what Asher had said. She was indeed very thick with Charles and the two other men, but it was true that there was nothing between them. She had a clear conscience about her relationship with them, but she feared that Toby would overthink things and become jealous. After all, this man would get jealous over something as minor as a phone call from another man. It would be strange that he didn’t become jealous after she told him that they had been close in the past. And when he did, she’d have to placate him, not to mention the chances of her failing to pacify him. This was what she really worried about when she heard Asher’s words.

As it turned out, however, her worries were unnecessary. When Toby raised her chin just now, he gave her a look that told her clearly that he was somewhat jealous, but he wouldn’t be jealous pointlessly. What had happened in the past was over, so they shouldn’t be brought up at present to affect their present life. Also, the look in his eyes told her that he knew there was nothing between her and Charles and others. Even if there was something, it was Charles and the others who had feelings for her, not vice versa. Therefore, even if he was angry, he would be angry with Charles and the others, not with her. Upon learning about this, she heaved a sigh of relief. Not only was she relieved, but she could now deal with Asher with peace of mind.

“Little Leaf is right.” Toby gave Sonia’s hand a gentle squeeze. “Like I said, even if she used to have many men around her, that only happened before she got together with me. I won’t blame her for that, nor do I have the right to blame her. Not only that, but I have to thank those men around her. If they hadn’t been helping her and protecting her, she wouldn’t have taken over Paradigm Co. so smoothly. Also, I know very well what their relationship with her is like. There’s nothing between them. Otherwise, with my possessiveness, do you think I’ll let them off if there’s really something between them and her?”

Asher’s face began to turn pale, and his facial muscles twitched even more violently in fear. At the same time, he began to regret saying so much just now. Of course, rather than regretting saying those things, he regretted saying those things in front of Toby and trying to make him love Sonia less. Ha! This guy is simply abnormal! For a time, he cursed inwardly. “Toby Fuller, I know that you’re rich and powerful and that you have someone backing you up. But don’t forget that if you dare to do anything to me, I’ll hold a press conference and disclose what you did to me! Let’s see if the person backing you will oppose the entire society to protect you when public opinion is aroused by then!” he warned Toby, his face contorting with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Toby didn’t say a word. Instead, he merely looked at Asher and curled his thin lips into a glacial smile that would give people the creeps.

Asher couldn’t help but cringe in fear for a moment.

Just then, Sonia could no longer stand the sight of this, and she rolled her eyes right away. “President Dafoe, don’t you think it’s stupid of you to say that? You want to hold a press conference to disclose what we did to you? Ha! Do you think we’ll give you the opportunity? If one is to defeat someone, they have to make sure that the person will never rise again, especially when you’ve explicitly threatened to not let us off. In that case, we have to finish you off with one blow so that you won’t have the chance to make everything public. What do you think, President Dafoe?”

Asher’s eyes instantly widened, and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip. Not only that, but he trembled all over with fear written all over his face. She’s right. All I cared about was to warn him, but it never crossed my mind that my warning might make me unable to step out of the elevator alive. And besides, Sonia is right that one has to defeat their enemy thoroughly so that they’ll never rise again, especially when the enemy bears a grudge against them in the first place. Otherwise, letting the enemy off will bring them endless trouble. If it were me, I’d have done the same. Does it mean that I’m gonna die here?
