While shivering in fear, Tyler quickly hung up the phone and he carried his bag on his shoulder before rushing toward the door. He didn’t wait for Sonia to make the request.
However, before leaving, he turned around and warned, “You have received my gifts, which means that you must come to school and help me this Saturday! If you dare to tell Toby about this, I’ll tell him that you are already sleeping with another man right after your divorce!”
Upon listening to him, Sonia was rendered speechless.
Tyler ran to the south gate as fast as he could—which was exactly in two minutes.
The moment he arrived at the side of the road, he could already see Toby casually sitting on the driver’s seat of his sports car as the smoke from Toby’s cigarette lingered around his fingers.
Tyler immediately sat on the passenger seat as he panted before he fastened his seatbelt.
However, due to Toby’s cold stare and gloomy aura, Tyler didn’t dare to utter a word while he kept his head lowered.
While waiting for the car to move on the road, Toby finally opened his mouth. “Didn’t I tell you not to look for her? Are my words a joke to you?”
“I didn’t have any money on me…”
“There are several hotels under the Fuller Group. Did you really think that no one would know that you are the Young Master of the Fuller Family?” he sneered.
“My stomach has been acting funny lately, so I came to her for help. Don’t you know how good your wife’s cooking is?” Tyler refused to cave under Toby’s line of questioning. However, the moment Tyler’s words came out of his mouth, he seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and quickly corrected himself. “I-I mean your ‘ex-wife’. Toby, I know that you two are divorced, but can’t I come to her place for a meal? Besides, she is the one who invited me in for a meal. It’s not like I forced her to do so.”
Again, the man let out a sarcastic chuckle as he clearly didn’t believe a word Tyler said, so Tyler carefully continued with his words. “Toby, I can see that Sonia is actually a nice person.”
As he hoped that Sonia could come to school and help him out, he tried to put in a few good words for her in front of Toby, but he also believed that she was a good person in his heart. Sometimes, it takes our own eyes to judge whether a person is good or not instead of blindly listening to others.
Upon witnessing Toby’s silence, Tyler summoned the courage to continue speaking, “I heard that her company isn’t doing well lately. Can you please help her? Maybe you could teach her on managing a business whenever you are free. After all, she didn’t ask anything from you as alimony when she divorced you, so her life isn’t going well—” I don’t think I should tell him that Sonia has dated someone online before. After all, who doesn’t have a past?
However, Toby immediately interrupted Tyler. “Does your face still hurt?”
Tyler grazed the inside of his mouth with his tongue and answered, “It was, but once she applied medicine on the wound, the pain subsided.”
“When we return home, I want you to apologize to Mom. Also, you should stop playing basketball and focus on your studies instead.” Toby placed his hand on the car window sill as he wore a grim expression. “When I was sixteen, Dad had already started assigning me to a handful of businesses to deal with. He even asked me to join the company’s management team.”
Upon listening to him, Tyler’s eyes darkened as he wanted to say something. However, Toby didn’t give him a chance to speak and asked, “Do you prefer to study abroad starting from tomorrow?”
Since Tyler lacked the courage to go against his brother, he lowered his head and remained quiet.
……
At the same time, Sonia didn’t think much about Tyler’s words as she was busy with meetings and paperwork.
She asked her team to arrange a meeting with him to discuss the acquisition of the Continental Co. when Charles had the time to come over to Paradigm Co. After analyzing the means and methods of the takeover, they finally came to an agreement.
If they were able to consolidate the company, Continental Co. would be a compatible asset alongside Paradigm Co. Not to mention, Sonia also had the funds to make her purchase.
However, there were far too many people who wanted to acquire the Continental Co, so the owner was so frustrated that he went abroad for a holiday in December and never returned since. On top of that, he never answered his phone, which made it difficult to get in touch with him.
Sonia tried to get in touch with the owner of the Continental Co. for the past few days through her connections, but to no avail.
