This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713 Proclaiming Love

The female reporter gave Toby a polite smile, but she no longer said anything after that. He’s right. He’s not breaking up with her because he loves her—that’s such a simple yet convincing explanation. While the reporters may have their own opinions regarding Toby’s statements, the female audiences watching this incident through the live stream were already in tears because they were touched.

Making a public statement about loving someone and promising the rest of the world that you wouldn’t break up with your partner wasn’t an easy thing to do. There were probably only a few people in the world who had the guts to do such a thing. Furthermore, Toby’s actions were akin to him hanging himself above a pit of fire. It’d be hard for him to break his promise since the whole world had witnessed Fuller Group’s president proclaiming his love for Paradigm Co.’s president.

Toby had promised never to break up with her. However, if he lost feelings for her someday, or if he decided to break up with her someday, then the words he uttered during the day of the press conference would be turned into a joke. The rest of the world would cast

Toby aside if that happened because he had taught the world to believe in love before shattering the trust that everyone had given him. It’d be completely understandable for everyone to boycott him at that point. As the president of Fuller Group, Toby certainly knew the consequences of his actions.

Yet, despite being aware of such possible outcomes, he still chose to make such a huge promise in front of the public. This showed that he was serious about his relationship with Sonia, and many individuals naturally felt touched by the sight of his sincerity. All of a sudden, all the female netizens began to express their admiration for Sonia. The live stream comment box was filled with sentences along the lines of, ‘I wish I were Sonia!’

However, there was one individual who didn’t feel the same. When this individual heard Toby revealing his love for Sonia, her entire body trembled with jealousy. With a loud smack, this individual slapped her hand against the table and stood up. She gave Sonia a furious glare before turning toward Toby. A series of complicated emotions were flashing in this individual’s gaze—resentment and hatred were the more prominent ones.

When Sonia noticed this individual, she merely rolled her eyes before placing her hand on Toby’s thigh and giving it a hard squeeze. The man raised an eyebrow when he felt a sting in his leg, and he quickly grabbed Sonia’s hand before he gently rubbed her palm. “What is it?” he asked.

“There’s someone trying to seduce you. Are you happy to see her?” Sonia spun a pen between her fingers as she spoke with a rather amused look on her face. Toby scowled for a moment before he threw a glance in Jessica’s direction. “There’s no such thing. Stop talking nonsense! I only feel annoyed when I see her.”

Sonia was pleased by his answer, and she had been about to say something when Jessica spoke up first. “Mr. Fuller, I know that you have romantic feelings for my sister, but are you saying that you’re allowing your romantic feelings to override your principles?” Once Jessica finished her sentence, everyone turned to stare at her. Some individuals were shocked by how Jessica had questioned Toby, while others were puzzled.

“What are you trying to say?” Toby’s face turned stone cold as he spoke in a flat and unforgiving tone.

Jessica couldn’t help but shudder at the sight of Toby’s expression. Fear was written all over her face as she thought, This man’s glare is so terrifying, it feels like he can kill me with his looks. However, I have to hide my fear no matter what. At that thought, Jessica balled her hands into fists and took a deep breath to put on a determined look as she stared at Toby.

“Mr. Fuller, just now, the reporter asked whether you would break up with Sonia or not if what I posted on the Internet was real. If I was telling the truth, it would mean that Sonia truly bullied me and used her identity to steal everything from the Reed Family. Yet, you said that you wouldn’t break up with her because you love her. But have you ever considered the fact that you’re just spoiling Sonia and concealing her wrongdoings?

You’re providing her support but not upholding your moral standards and principles! Do you think it’s really right to do that? You’re aware of Sonia’s immoral doings, and you’re aware that she made many mistakes. If you continue to stand by her side, you’re not doing her any good at all! You’re just causing her more harm and neglecting your duty toward society!”

“That’s true!” Jessica’s words made everyone—the people in the room and the audience watching the live stream—nod in agreement. Jessica wore a smug smile on her face when she noticed everyone agreeing with her. She had made things clear—she highlighted that he’d be irresponsible to the public if he were to continue being in a relationship with Sonia. He’s probably going to break up with her now, right?
