This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 712

Chapter 712 Your Reward

Both Sonia and Toby looked like they were taking a stroll in the park instead of attending a press conference. This didn’t matter, of course—what mattered was that their intimate actions left everyone gasping in surprise. The people who were on Sonia’s side felt their hope reigniting when they saw the couple walking in.

Asher and his people, on the other hand, were starting to feel nervous at the sight of them. When they saw how gentle Toby was toward Sonia, they could tell that he was deeply in love with her. Even if the press conference didn’t go well, and even if he got into trouble for it, he definitely wouldn’t give up on Sonia. Things didn’t look too good for Asher’s people.

Toby was a man of power, after all, so such minor inconveniences wouldn’t be an issue for him at all. He’d eventually find a way to resolve the matter, and he would gain authority over Fuller Group once more. Wouldn’t he be able to offer help to Sonia then? Once Sonia had his support, she’d be able to retrieve everything she had lost, and she might even use his power to take revenge on the people who had attempted to oust her…

The more Asher’s people thought about it, the grimmer they looked. They shifted their gazes toward Asher as if they were asking, What are we going to do now? Asher merely clenched his fists without responding. How was he supposed to respond? I have no idea what Toby is doing here.

His appearance is ruining all my plans, and I don’t know how to fix things now. I guess all I can do is to go with the flow. Asher rubbed his face in frustration.

Meanwhile, Toby went up a step before he stopped and turned around to look at the woman behind him. “Watch your step. Don’t fall,” he reminded her. Sonia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at that moment. “I’m not blind, and walking is something I do everyday. Why would I fall?” While she was talking, Toby held her arm and guided her toward the front of the room. He continued to hold onto her as he spoke. “Just in case.”

“You’re always worrying about unnecessary things.” Sonia smiled as she shook her head. The rest of the people in the meeting room noticed the couple’s interactions—those who were happy for them felt happier, while those who were against them looked more dejected than ever.

Jessica was the outlier in the room as she was the only one who felt jealous of them. She felt as if she were losing her mind as the jealousy ate her insides. Her face was twisted into an ugly expression as she glared at the couple walking to the front of the room with bloodshot eyes. I don’t understand.

Why would this rich and powerful man choose someone like Sonia, who’s just an illegitimate daughter that doesn’t know who her biological dad is? He can go for any other girl he wants! What’s so great about Sonia?

Sonia wasn’t aware that there was a certain someone who was deadly jealous of her at that moment. As Sonia walked toward her seat, she turned to give orders to Daphne. “Bring another chair over for President Fuller. He’s going to be a part of this press conference as well.”

“Okay.” Daphne smiled and nodded before she proceeded to complete her task. Once the rest of the people heard that Toby was joining the meeting, they had mixed emotions. However, no one had the guts to step forward and question anything. Toby was too powerful of a person for them to provoke. Furthermore, more than half of Paradigm Co.’s partnerships were related to Fuller Group, so Toby was practically like a sugar daddy to their company. Would anyone reject their sugar daddy’s money and chase him away?

Eventually, Toby took a seat next to Sonia at the head of the meeting room’s table. The strong aura Toby gave off easily overpowered Sonia’s presence. It seemed almost like the chairman of Paradigm Co. was Toby instead of Sonia. However, Sonia didn’t tell him to hold himself back as she knew that he wasn’t an insensitive individual.

Toby wasn’t someone who would disregard the situation and overpower her intentionally—he was only acting in such a manner to scare the people who were working for her. Specifically, he wanted to make Asher and his people feel threatened.

From the moment they entered the meeting room, both Toby and Sonia had noticed the greed in their eyes. That was the reason Toby intentionally made himself appear more domineering—he wanted to extinguish the greed in these people. If Sonia had been alone, she might not have been able to gain control over them.
