‘I think so too. As Miss Reed said, President Fuller could easily turn her down, and she would never force herself on him. Since he didn’t turn her down, it means that he married her willingly. Considering that, his treatment of her after their marriage is unacceptable.’
‘There’s more to it! I’m also starting to doubt if President Fuller actually likes Miss Gray! If he does, he wouldn’t have agreed to marry Miss Reed and would have waited until Miss Gray regained consciousness.’
Green with envy, Tina was biting on her lip while reading the comments. She knew full well that the person who Toby had always been in love with was Sonia. The only reason he was misled to believe that he loved Tina was because she pretended to be the woman who was in correspondence with him. However, he would take back all his love to her and pour it all onto Sonia if he came to find out that Sonia was actually the one who he corresponded with.
Meanwhile, Zane also read the comments, which made him tut. “Toby, I, too, think you’re a bit of a scum. Just hearing what Sonia said is unbearable enough, and she had to endure it for six years. Judging from that, she really loves you, but you don’t deserve her.”
Toby clenched his fist in silence as his heart hammered and pounded against his chest. All this time, he had thought of her as a despicable woman who took Tina’s place when she was in a coma. Therefore, he unconsciously ignored that he could turn down her proposal to begin with. Even though he was aware of the life she led in the Fuller Family, he never thought of helping her out. I was the one who owed her!
“After telling you the full story, everyone should believe now that I didn’t step in between President Fuller and Miss Gray.” Sonia watched the press below her.
Upon hearing that, the journalists smiled sheepishly. The fact that she revealed everything in the presence of the press and the audience of the livestream meant that she had to be telling the truth. After all, she wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences of the public’s backlash toward her company and herself if what she said was proven to be false.
“How would you explain the claim about you pestering your ex-husband?” The journalist from before spoke again.
“First of all, I never tried to pester him. Seafield isn’t all that big, and we’re both businessmen, so it’s only natural that we bump into each other. As for the reason we were at the stadium together last night...” An irritated look crossed Sonia’s face. “It’s because both of us got a ticket from President Fuller’s brother. If I knew President Fuller would go, I wouldn’t have gone no matter what.”
Immediately, Zane burst into laughter while slapping his thigh. “Toby, she’s dissing you! I think she’s serious when she says that she doesn’t love you!”
Toby glowered at Zane before turning his gaze back to Sonia’s face on the screen with a complex look in his eyes. Does she really not love me anymore?
“I know you might not believe in me, but it’s alright for us to hold contesting viewpoints. However, I would like to stress that I don’t see the need to associate myself with a man who would chase his wife out of the house in favor of his mistress,” Sonia stated with a smirk.
Tina’s heart sank as she had a bad premonition. What does she mean by that?
Toby was also frowning, confused by what Sonia was planning to do. On the other hand, the journalists realized that Sonia was about to stir up a ruckus. “Miss Reed, would you mind clarifying what you mean?”
“Sure.” A cold glint fleeted across Sonia’s gaze before she opened up, saying, “Everybody should know that President Fuller decided to divorce me due to rumors of my infidelity. I’ll have you know that I was not the one who was infidel, but President Fuller himself was.”
All Sonia wanted was to live her own life and continue to develop Paradigm Co. to avenge her father. Yet, the Fullers and people like Tina insisted on giving her a hard time, so she saw no reason to be courteous to them.
The announcement sent the crowd into an uproar. No way! President Fuller had an affair?
Meanwhile, Zane was watching Toby playfully. “Toby, I think Cynthia actually pissed Sonia off this time.”
Toby didn’t say a word, but his handsome face looked glum, while the air around him was filled with pressure. I had an affair? Wasn’t she the one who had an affair? The thought of the men around Sonia made him uncomfortable.
“Miss Reed, is this true?” The journalist’s hands were shaking. President Fuller’s infidelity is a huge scoop. I bet it’ll be able to garner the press a lot of attention for the next week!
