This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

As a result, she was at a loss for words. My dear Young Master Toby, aren’t you afraid that Miss Reed

would be angry if she found out what you did later on?

He caught her drift, but he lowered his eyelids and refused to answer.

Sonia wasn’t aware of the silent conversation between the two of them. She didn’t hear the sound of the

box being touched either, so she asked, “Wanda, have you opened it?”

Wanda inhaled as she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. Then, she smiled and answered, “Yes, I

did. It’s a set of imperial jade jewelry.”

“What!” Sonia was in the midst of drinking some water. As soon as she heard Wanda’s words, she

choked on the water, which inevitably sputtered out of her mouth.

Since Toby was sitting right opposite her, he took a direct hit as the water splashed all over his

handsome face.

Not only his face, but his hair as well.

His bangs were clumped together due to the water to the point where one part of it was dripping wet. It

was something he had never experienced before, so he was dumbfounded and rooted on the spot,

looking rather funny and embarrassing.

As a result of what she saw, Wanda couldn’t suppress her laughter. “Mr. Fuller, you—”

Upon hearing Wanda’s laugh, Sonia realized that she might have done something horrendous, so she

tightened her grip on the glass in her hands. She straightened her back a little as she asked, “Um…

Wanda, what happened? Did I just—”

“It’s nothing.” Toby inhaled as he finally recovered from the shock. Then, he reached up and wiped away

the water on his face.

The moment she saw that, Wanda quickly pulled some tissue and passed it to him. “Here, Mr. Fuller.”

“Thank you,” he replied before he took the tissue and proceeded to wipe his face.

Sonia was definitely able to confirm that some of the water had definitely splashed on Toby when she

heard the sound of tissue paper being pulled from the box. Even though it was an accident, she was still

embarrassed, so she bit her lip and said, “Wanda, get a new towel for President Fuller.”

“Sure.” Wanda was elated to see Sonia asking for a towel for Toby’s sake, so she quickly replied and

walked toward the bathroom.

Toby also looked at Sonia in disbelief. “You…”

“What?” she asked.

His throat bobbed up and down. “To think that you’d actually ask someone to get a towel for me…”

Usually, based on her usually cold demeanor toward him, she would’ve just ignored his predicament.

So, he was exceptionally surprised when she offered him a towel.

Sonia bit her lip and asked calmly, “Are you shocked? I know I did something wrong, which was why I

gave you a towel. It’s just me making up for my own mistakes. Also, I’m sorry for earlier. I didn’t do it on

purpose.”

Upon seeing her apologetic expression, Toby smiled a little as his voice turned gentler. “I know. I’m not

blaming you.”

After all, how could he blame her?

Sonia moved her lips, but she didn’t say more.

It was because she didn’t know what else to say.

Also, she had already apologized and he said he didn’t mind. If she kept insisting that she didn’t mean to

do it, then her words would take on another meaning.

At this moment, Wanda carried the towel into the living room and she passed it to Toby. “Here, Mr.

Fuller.”

He reached out and took it; then, he placed it on his head and started drying his hair.

Sonia heard the sound of him drying his hair, so she slightly lowered her head and changed the topic.

“Right, President Fuller, why would Grandma let me wear such expensive jewelry?”

That was the one thing she couldn’t understand.

As far as she remembered, Grandma had never given her any jewelry before.

Of course, Old Mrs. Fuller had offered Sonia houses and cars, but she had declined them all.

As Toby had anticipated the question, he cast the towel aside and answered, “Because it’s her 80th

birthday, many famous figures in the business field will be invited. Many of them aren’t even from

Seafield. They are mostly powerful figures from Westsanshire, Sleubury, and even abroad. Most of them

are people you wouldn’t even have the right to meet normally.”

It sounded harsh, but it was the truth.

Even Titus in his prime wouldn’t have the right to see those people in authority, much less Sonia.

It was something that she was well aware of, so she wasn’t exasperated. Rather, she merely asked,

“So?”

“Some of those powerful people have subsidiaries just like Paradigm Co. If Paradigm Co. were to

expand its horizons, it would have to try its best to secure a partnership with those subsidiaries. And you,

as one of the biggest shareholders in Paradigm Co., have to establish relationships with those people

and expand your own horizons. You have to make connections to secure your power as a vice president

whereby people will actually listen to you. Then, you can retrieve the rest of management rights from

Asher whenever you want,” Toby elaborated as he looked at her.

Her expression turned serious and she began to clench her fists.

Sonia had to admit that Toby’s words had hit the bull’s eye.

It was true that she had recently been troubled by the future development in Paradigm Co. and the next

course of action.

Paradigm Co. had achieved its stability by collaborating with the few subsidiaries under the Fuller Group,

but being stable didn’t necessarily mean that Paradigm Co. had improved and developed enough. The

corporation was only saved from the brink of bankruptcy, but it was far from the development that it

envisioned.

So, if Paradigm Co. were to develop and strengthen itself, it would have to do more than partner with the

subsidiaries under the Fuller Group. It had to establish new partnerships and create new possibilities for

more promising partnerships.
