This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 54

Toby’s expression darkened when he heard that.

Charles glided toward them soon after that and came to Sonia. “Baby, are you alright?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

“That’s good to know,” Charles muttered and he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he reverted to an impatient tone and yelled at the person on the slope, “Hey! Miss Gray, can you hurry up?”

As soon as Tina arrived by skis, he rudely retorted, “I saw everything that happened, so don’t you dare deny it! You shoved Sonia!”

“My vision was kind of blurry because of the helmet.” Tima bit her lip and apologized to Sonia. “I’m sorry for accidentally shoving you, Miss Reed.”

“Sonia was right in front of you and she wasn’t standing by the side. You would have been blind to not see her!” Charles held up his arm and waved it in front of Tina’s eyes. “Miss Gray, have you gone blind? Do you need me to refer you to a doctor for treatment?”

“That’s enough!” Toby said with a displeased tone. “I just saved Miss Reed and Tina has also apologized to her.”

However, Charles revealed a cold smile and countered, “President Fuller, you’re clearly aware of how steep this trail is. Meanwhile, my baby is just a beginner in skiing. If no one had come to her rescue after Miss Gray’s shove, she would definitely have broken a bone if she had rolled down the hill.”

“Can I assume that your girlfriend attempted to murder Sonia?”

“Charles, stop being so aggressive!” There was a tinge of redness in Tina’s eyes due to the anger she felt and her voice trembled slightly as she mumbled, “Honestly, I didn’t see her earlier. If you’re unable to let go of this then I can ski downhill right now and Miss Reed can shove me as revenge.”

“Okay!” Charles agreed right away, “You can head uphill right now and let Sonia shove you. I’ll be there to save you then we’ll be even.”

Speechless, Tina leaned against Toby and revealed a weak, pitiful look on her face.

Sonia noticed Toby’s darkened expression and it seemed that he was angered by Charles’ persistent aggressiveness. And so, she tugged on Charles’ arm. “Come on, let’s head back.”

However, Charles was significantly displeased as he shouted, “I don’t want to go yet! You’ve already gotten a freaking divorce with Toby. Besides, his girlfriend is being a bully! Are you going to continue being a doormat?”

Upon hearing that, Sonia got close to him and mentioned in a low voice, “The details regarding the takeover of Continental Co. were given to me by Zane.”

Zane and Toby had a close relationship. The former would have no qualms about following all of the latter’s instructions and would choose to disregard their collaboration if requested by the latter.

Sonia didn’t intend to let Tina get away with this either; however, she was much more reluctant for Toby to get involved and prevent her from taking over Continental Co.

Charles quickly weighed out the pros and cons on his mind as soon as he heard her words. In the end, he snorted coldly but he significantly toned down. However, he turned around and flipped the two of them off before leaving.

Angered beyond words, Tina thought to herself, I’ve never met a guy as scathing and as despicable as Charles!

Just then, she noticed Toby’s expression, which was as cold as ice, and she explained softly, “I was too engrossed in skiing so I didn’t notice Miss Reed in front of me. I apologized to her but then I didn’t expect Charles to be so aggressive. Ahem!”

She leaned forward and coughed several times, her face turning paler than before.

Toby couldn’t bear to keep up his cold demeanor upon noticing her pallor and he took her into his arms. “I’m next to you so he wouldn’t dare to do anything to you. The most he could do is attack you verbally. It’s too cold here. Let’s head back to the hotel.”

“Okay.” Tina wrapped her arms around his waist and smiled faintly.

……

It was already 5 PM when Sonia and Charles arrived back at the hotel.

She dropped by the front desk and was told that Ryan was currently in the gaming room, so she went to see him by herself. Just then, she utilized Charles’ usual shameless behavior and explicitly revealed to Ryan her plans to take over his company and that the price was negotiable.

However, despite her efforts, he was quite stubborn and refused to agree to her terms. Finally, he muttered in a frustrated tone, “I don’t care how much you’re willing to offer but I’m not going to sell the company! You should leave.” Then, he chased her out of the gaming room.

Meanwhile, Sonia was left standing there with a massive headache. She was just about to call Charles to come over and help her but then she realized that based on Ryan’s current attitude, the other man would most likely be unable to convince Ryan even if he utilized his glib tongue. Besides, she wouldn’t be able to gain learning experience if she didn’t take the initiative to handle discussions personally.

Just then, Sonia recalled the man and she tapped into her Messenger. She found his contact number and fired off a message. ‘Have you dealt with Ryan Drew, the boss of Continental Co., before? He’s quite difficult to deal with. He doesn’t seem interested in talking to me no matter how much my offer is.”

After sending the text, Sonia suddenly wondered, Why am I asking this guy? Wouldn’t it be better if I asked Zane?

Sonia tried to recall her message but time had lapsed and this option was no longer available.
