Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 1062

Charles' words were exactly what Sonia meant, so she decided to keep silent and admitted to it wordlessly.

Toby clenched his fist once again and he did it so forcefully that there was an audible crack from his knuckles.

"I won't agree to us breaking up. I won't even give you the chance to break up with me." Toby kept his eyes on

Sonia as he enunciated each word carefully and firmly.

She was the person he had been in love with for more than ten years; she was someone whom he had once shared

his life with before losing her again; she was also someone whom he had rescued in exchange of his near-death

experience. Therefore, he would never give her the chance to break up with him. There was no way on earth that it

would ever happen.

Sonia could tell from Toby's eyes with what he intended to express and she was sincerely shocked by that. Finally,

she moved her red lips and started to speak up, "So, it is me that you have chosen."

Toby instantly took her into his arms right in front of Charles and placed a hand behind the back of her head as he

spoke genuinely, "Yes, it will always be you."

Although she had expected this, as soon as she heard Toby express it verbally in person, she could not contain her

shocked expression.

She slowly withdrew herself from Toby's arms and lifted her head to look at the man in front of her. "Are you sure

about this? You should be aware that the other person we're talking about here is your esteemed mentor. Although

this matter isn't initiated by him but his granddaughter, I'm guessing that he wouldn't want us to kick up a big fuss

about this and just let bygones be bygones. Surely, he would want to save his granddaughter. If you refuse, would

your mentor accept this graciously and let things be?"

"You must be joking." Charles rolled his eyes. "I've met Mr. Lore twice and he's just an idiotic old man who sides with

the younger generation of his family quite unreasonably. His favorite granddaughter is Lynette. There are too many

sons in the Lore Family while Lynette's the only daughter, so obviously, she's spoiled rotten in their family. Not only

does everyone in the family dote on her, but Mr. Lore also spoils her to her core. He doesn't even realize that his

actions have turned her into a spoiled brat and seems to assume that this is just her childlike nature. Ha. I think he

seems to be quite proud of that too."

As soon as Charles mentioned that, he suddenly revealed a scoffing look. "Sonny, I don't know whether you've

heard of this story before, but eight years ago, I attended a dinner party and Mr. Lore and his family were in

attendance too. The atmosphere at the dinner party was quite nice and peaceful, and everyone mingled around as

they enjoyed some drinks, and chatted with each other. However, soon after that, a group of debutantes suddenly

got into a fight. Guess why?"

Sonia shook her head. "I don't know. I wasn't in attendance at the dinner party that you just mentioned." Eight years

ago, her dad was still alive and he was the chairman of Paradigm Co. at that time. However, Paradigm Co. was

gradually experiencing a downturn back then, so most of the organizers of dinner parties would skip the invitation

to the Reed Family. Naturally, she did not get to attend that dinner party, so she wouldn't have known what went on

there.

She turned to glance at Toby and there was a questioning look in her eyes. Do you know about this incident that

Charlie just mentioned?

Toby shook his head slightly. "No, I don't know anything about that. I didn't attend that dinner party. I usually get

invited to a lot of functions and I don't really have the time to attend every single one of them."

At that point, Sonia grimaced slightly. She realized that he was not, in fact, trying to show off. After all, it was normal

for him to receive countless invitations to dinner parties due to his status, but as she heard his words, she found

herself quite envious of him.

Truth be told, most people would resort to anything—even paying exorbitant amounts of money—to obtain an

invitation to a dinner party. The reason was so that they could join the dinner party and mingle with those people of

higher social status. However, for Toby, he did not even have to ask for the things that others seemed to yearn so

badly for and yet were out of reach for them. Furthermore, he generally attended those functions based on his

mood. If he turned up, he would always be given a personal and warm welcome by the host of the dinner party.

Even if he did not turn up, no one would comment on that. That was just how much different it was for people of

different social statuses.

At that moment, she no longer wanted to speak to Toby to avoid being subconsciously flaunted. She quickly shifted

her eyes and turned to Charles. "Charles, keep going, then. What was the reason for the row?"

Charles grunted in response and continued his topic, "The reason was that one of the girls bought a dress that

Lynette missed out on, and out of anger, Lynette splashed wine on that girl. The girl Lynette splashed wine on was

also doted upon by her family members, so she had quite a temper too. Subsequently, the two girls got into a fight

and in the end, the other girls in their respective cliques got involved in the fight as well. The dinner party ended up

in havoc. The family members of the girls finally heard about the fight and rushed over in a hurry."

"What happened next?" Sonia's interest was piqued. "How did the matter get resolved?"

Charles laughed derisively. "In the end, this matter ended after the girl who was splashed with wine apologized to

Lynette. Furthermore, the girl also had to provide a lot of gifts to Lynette as compensation."

"What?!" Sonia felt as if she was listening to the biggest joke ever as she revealed an exasperated smile. "That was

too much! How on earth could a victim be expected to apologize and even provide compensation to the

perpetrator? This is the first time ever that I've heard of such a ridiculous thing!"

Sonia was not the only one who found the situation ludicrous. Even Toby, who was slightly connected to the

perpetrator, found it ridiculous too. However, he linked the situation to his mentor's protective stance toward his

family members and at that point, Toby had a basic idea of how the matter got resolved.

"You do find this quite ludicrous too, huh?" Charles looked at Toby, who was lost in thoughts, before frowning. "The

person who caused all this was Lynette's grandfather—Toby's mentor—and he's also the idiotic old man who sides

with the younger generation of his family unreasonably like I mentioned before. After he was told the entire

situation, not only did he not chastise his granddaughter, he even shifted the blame to the other girl. From the

words he spoke, he seemed to imply that the girl shouldn't have worn that dress she had on and this incident would

not have occurred if she hadn't had that dress. Ultimately, his granddaughter was the innocent one and the other

girl was to be blamed for all this. The girl and her family members were angered beyond words by that, but there

was nothing else they could do about the situation. After all, the Lore Family had the Fullers backing them."

Charles continued to purse his lips. "There you go, it's the Fuller Family here. The entire Seafield knows that Mr.

Lore is Toby's mentor and that Toby has always been very respectful toward him. As such, the girl's family members

were worried about offending the backers of the Lore Family—a.k.a. the Fullers—so they had no choice but to suffer

the injustice despite their reluctance. They ended up making the first move to apologize to the Lores. Sonny, that's

why you should realize by now that that old Lore is an unreasonable and warped selfish man. He knew that his

granddaughter was at fault, yet he purposely chose to overlook that part. Clearly, the Lores are despicable."

As soon as Charles said that, Toby instantly shot him a stern look.

However, Charles held his head high. "Why are you staring at me, huh? I hold the same stance regardless of how

you feel and besides, I'm not slandering them! Your mentor is a despicable person. I can't believe that someone like

him is a professor! He's just one without moralities. Besides, the entire Seaview knows about the Lores' bad

behaviors anyway!"

At that point, Toby remained silent.

Sonia glanced at him. "Is everything that Charles has mentioned to be true? Is your mentor such an overly

protective man?"

Toby gave Charles the side-eye and gradually lifted his head. "My mentor is overly protective of his granddaughter.

However, I didn't know about the incident that Charles just mentioned and I've never heard of that either."

"Though you've never heard of that, it doesn't mean that it never happened." Charles crossed his arms and scoffed,

"Besides, the reason why you've never heard of that is because the Lores would never bring that up in front of you.

After all, they made use of your reputation to resolve the matter. If they took the initiative to bring it up in front of

you, then you would have found out that they were behaving insolently outside by flaunting your name. As for why

the others never mentioned it to you, well, it's simply because they're afraid that you would go after them

unreasonably—as the Lores did—if you found out. That's why, somehow, everyone seemed to have a mutual

understanding to keep it a secret from you."
