This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 769 Do as You Are Told

Noticing that Toby pursed his lips, Sonia reached out to hold his face gently. “Alright. Stop frowning. I

honestly don’t feel aggrieved about it. As long as you stay by my side and understand my pain and

emotions, nothing else really matters.”

Nevertheless, Toby sighed when he met Sonia’s serious gaze. “But, I feel like you’re wronged.”

“Since you think that I was wronged, you can make up for me in other ways. As for Anya, just do as I

say and don’t cause any casualties. She didn’t do anything other than throw empty threats,” Sonia

suggested.

As she insisted, he could only go along with her decisions. “Alright. I’ll get Tom to arrange something.”

Then, he turned around to grab his phone by the side of the bed and sent Tom a message. At the same

time, Tom was in a confrontation with Anya outside of the hospital ward.

When Anya noticed that Tom was alone and no one else was present, her gaze darkened. She tilted

her head a little to look behind Tom as if she wanted to see if anyone was behind him.

Noticing what Anya was doing, Tom had his face darkened before he closed the door and asked in a

hostile tone, “What do you think you are trying to do?”

Right then, Anya’s gaze wavered before she looked away and smiled. “Nothing.”

Tom harrumphed. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re looking for.”

You want to see President Fuller, huh? I won’t let things go your way.

Anya pursed her lips. Then, she acted as if she hadn’t heard what Tom said and pushed her stray hair

to the back of her ear before asking, “Mr. Brown, is President Fuller getting better now?”

“Well, thanks to you, President Fuller woke up in the hospital bed when he could have done so in Miss

Reed’s bed,” Tom replied snarkily.

Upon hearing Tom’s words, Anya felt her face twitch a little before she recomposed her emotion and

smiled gently again. This time, there was a hint of joy in her eyes. “Mr. Brown, are you saying that

President Fuller regained consciousness?”

Tom harrumphed and didn’t answer or deny what Anya said, which indicated that Toby had indeed

regained consciousness.

Anya clapped her hands together. “That’s great! It’s good news that President Fuller finally regained his

consciousness! Mr. Brown, can you let me enter and talk to him?”

Immediately, Tom got alerted before he dashed toward the entrance of Toby’s ward and blocked it. “You

want to meet President Fuller?”

“Yes.” Although Anya was furious when she saw Tom’s action, she didn’t let it show. Instead, she

sighed and explained in a guilty manner, “I know that President Fuller and you got into an accident

because of me, so I’m hoping that I can meet President Fuller to apologize to him and—”

“And stay by his side to take care of him?” Tom’s gaze turned cold while Anya blushed. “I do have the

responsibility to take care of President Fuller till he heals. I caused the harm, after all.”

“Wow.” Tom chuckled in disbelief. “Miss Steinfeld, I would advise you to drop that idea because what

you told Miss Reed had already upset her. Do you think President Fuller would allow you to stay,

considering how loyal he is to Miss Reed? Moreover, President Fuller doesn’t need any more helpers

and doesn’t like strangers invading his personal space, so you don’t need to offer to take care of him.

Besides, all of us know that that’s actually a lie to get closer to President Fuller, anyway.”

Anya’s face turned pale after she heard what Tom said. Instantly, she lowered her head awkwardly. “I’m

not. I just—”

“That’s enough!” Tom rolled his eyes. “No one cares if you did or didn’t. To make things easier for you

to understand, President Fuller doesn’t need your care now, and it’s better if you keep those desires of

yours to yourself because President Fuller has a girlfriend now, and he loves her very much. President

Fuller is loyal to his girlfriend, and there won’t be anyone else besides her, not to mention someone like

you. Besides, you’re in a completely different world from him, so it’s better if you drop those thoughts of

yours, or you’ll be the one who ends up getting hurt in the end.”

Anya bit her lip and went quiet. It seemed like she was hurt by Tom’s straightforwardness.

Nevertheless, Tom didn’t soften up, despite noticing Anya’s reaction. Instead, he glanced at his watch

before saying, “Alright. It’s time to get to the point after all that nonsense just now. Miss Reed had

already told President Fuller everything that you told her last night. Right now, President Fuller is very

upset at your attitude toward Miss Reed, so he—”

“Is he going to come after me on behalf of Miss Reed?” Anya’s hands, which were placed on her

thighs, balled up into fists.

At this moment, Tom glanced at Anya and noticed her uneasiness. However, he didn’t pity her at all

before he answered calmly, “Since you didn’t cause President Fuller’s accident on purpose, he won’t

make a fuss about what happened yesterday. Everything will be settled by the books, and you’ll have to

pay for compensation. If you’re unwilling to do so, we will see you in court.”

“I’ll pay for compensation!” Anya nodded without hesitation before she said, “I am the one who caused

the accident, so I should bear responsibility for it and pay for compensation.”

Tom nodded slightly. “That’s great. Regarding how you talked to Miss Reed last night, President Fuller

wants you to broadcast your apology to Miss Reed, along with the reason you’re sorry. As long as you

carry out President Fuller’s requests, he’ll let you off the hook.”

Anya’s face turned pale. “E-Explain why I’m sorry?”

“Bingo!” Tom grinned at Anya, causing her face to turn even paler before she clenched her fists tighter.

She then gulped before asking in a panicked manner, “Don’t President Fuller know… how cruel it is to

account for my mistakes and apologize in front of the public?”

Although what Anya said to Sonia last night wasn’t direct, everyone would be able to tell what she was

implying, and she knew what would happen once she explained why she apologized to the public.

“This is none of President Fuller’s concerns. Since you had the guts to do something like that, you

should be able to handle the consequences of doing so,” Tom crossed his arms before he nonchalantly

remarked while Anya started trembling. “It’s Miss Reed, isn’t it?”

“What?” Tom raised his eyebrows.

What is she talking about?

Anya met his gaze with red eyes. “Miss Reed told President Fuller to do this, didn’t she?”

Right then, Tom finally understood what Anya meant.

Does she actually think that Miss Reed was the one who wanted President Fuller to request a public

apology? Wow! What a joke. Although Miss Reed could do something like that, this is definitely

President Fuller’s own doing, based on my understanding. After all, how could she have told President

Fuller what to do when she was sound asleep next to him?

Tom’s face darkened. “Miss Steinfeld, you might have misunderstood things. Miss Reed had never

made such a request, and all of these are President Fuller’s decisions.”

“That’s impossible!” Anya retorted, while Tom rolled his eyes at her. “How is it impossible? You’ve only

met President Fuller once, and he wasn’t even conscious. Do you even understand him? How can you

tell that this is not President Fuller’s decision when you don’t even know him?”

“I—” Anya paused before she went quiet.

Then, she lowered her head to hide the dark glint in her eyes while feeling resentful.

Who says that I don’t understand Toby? Of course, I understand him. However, Toby back then, and

Toby right now…

Anya’s gaze faltered before she stopped herself from thinking further.

On the other hand, Tom couldn’t be bothered to waste his time with Anya any longer as he uncrossed

his arms. “All of this is President Fuller’s decision. You might not know how much he loves Miss Reed,

but I can tell you that President Fuller definitely wouldn’t let you off the hook if you upset Miss Reed, so

it’s better if you do as you are told, or you’ll have to pay for what you’ve done. Do you understand me?”
