Chapter 1077
Toby didn't argue against Charles' statement—deep down, he clearly believed what Charles had said. However,
Charles' words reminded Toby of something that he hadn't paid much attention to in the past. Now that I hear what
Charles said, it seems like a possibility. Toby shut his eyes as he tried his best to contain his anger. When he next
opened his eyes, his gaze had turned much darker than before.
Everyone in the room knew that Toby wasn't going to take the situation lightly. He simply concealed all of his
emotions beneath his cold and empty gaze. "I got it. I'll deal with this." Toby let go of Sonia's face as he responded
to Charles.
"Well, don't disappoint us," Charles uttered with a shrug. Toby ignored the other man and was about to speak to
Sonia when his phone rang again. Ever since he ended the call earlier, he had left his phone on Sonia's desk. So,
once it started ringing, everyone could see who the call was from. It was from Tom. This time, Toby showed no
intention of ignoring the call. "What is it?" he asked as he placed the phone against his ear.
"President Fuller." Tom's voice came from the other end of the line. "Mr. Lore just called me a while ago and said he
couldn't get to you. But, he wanted to know your whereabouts and whether you were occupied."
Toby's face remained blank after hearing Tom's words. Toby had clearly expected the Lore Family to contact Tom
after they failed to contact him. "Well? How did you respond to him?" Toby asked as he narrowed his eyes. Through
their call, Tom could tell from Toby's voice that Toby wasn't fond of the Lore Family. "I told him that I didn't know
where you were. I explained that I'm not the only assistant and that I don't always know your whereabouts," Tom
answered hastily.
Toby nodded. "Go on."
"I don't think Mr. Lore believed what I said, but he no longer tried asking about you since he knew that he couldn’t
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtget anything from me. Regardless, he indirectly asked me about your responses to the incident online and your
views on it," Tom added.
"Ignore him." There wasn't a hint of emotion on Toby's face.
Tom pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose as he replied. "I know what you mean, President Fuller. So, I simply
responded with a few vague sentences just to get him off the call. He eventually ended the call with a rather
annoyed tone, so I believe that he'll try to contact you again," Tom explained.
"I got it." Toby nodded. After that, he took a look at the woman who was sitting in front of him. "You don't have to
care about the Lore Family for now. I'll deal with it in the future. But, for now, I need you to handle the ghostwriters
and fake business accounts online. You'll also need to deal with Titus and Connor," he ordered.
"I've already sent someone to deal with Squirrel Media, and they should be in the midst of discussing some matters
acquiring Squirrel Media. We managed to acquire their company this afternoon, but the workers in Squirrel Media...
Except for that secretary that Sonia mentioned..." Tom replied.
"We'll have to do a background check on all workers. I want all the people involved or interested in this matter, and
all the individuals who had ever produced fake news, to be fired instantly." Toby's short statement had probably
turned thousands of people jobless.
Tom nodded. "Yeah. I've already gotten someone to deal with the other media companies involved this time. As you
said, we gave their rivals a promotion instead of them, so the internal team is a complete mess now. I bet the
Internet will be filled with the news regarding the significant changes in the media company’s management team
from tomorrow onward. Meanwhile, I've already collected the evidence for the business accounts and filed a court
case. We can head to court to fool around with them for a while and get them to spit out the money they had
earned illegally. I wanted to contact the cybersecurity department to deal with the ghostwriters, but I realized
someone had already warned them before I did anything. The ghostwriting team has gone their separate ways
now. Who do you think was the one who warned them, President Fuller?" Tom eyed his boss puzzledly.
Toby narrowed his eyes as his expression turned grim. "Zane. He's the only one who can do it."
Sonia was shocked to hear this. Zane? Why are we talking about him all of a sudden? Meanwhile, on the other end
of the call, Tom smacked his forehead as realization spread across his face. "Ah, I forgot about Mr. Coleman. He left
for the village nearly two months ago, yet he's still keeping up with everything online. He's truly one of the trendier
ones."
Toby frowned immediately. "Since you look up to him so much, should I hint to him that you'd like to go over? Why
don't you work for him instead?" Toby suggested.
Tom's expression fell as he immediately apologized. "D-Don't do that, President Fuller. I made a mistake. I shouldn't
have said that." This was Tom's fault—he completely forgot about how Zane and Toby were love rivals. Oops. I
praised President Fuller's enemy. No wonder he's mad!
Toby scoffed. "Alright. The country's investigation team is looking into Triforce Enterprise. Even though Titus
managed to get rid of a lot of the evidence, I'm sure there are still some clues and marks left behind. It all depends
on whether we manage to find it. So, what I need you to do now is to tell the investigation team about the quarry
that had been under Triforce Enterprise five years ago. He concealed the truth about the collapse of the mine and
didn't reveal the exact number of people who died. This will be my way of getting back at him this time."
Toby turned to Sonia after finishing his words. "Is that okay?" Sonia had always wanted to ruin the Gray Family and
Triforce Enterprise on her own—that was why she didn't want Toby to do anything. Yet, now that he wanted to
target Titus, he felt he had to ask for her opinion first. Sonia nodded when she saw the hopeful look in his eyes.
"Yeah."
Titus had been messing around too much recently, so it was about time they got back at him. Of course, just
revealing the news itself wouldn’t completely destroy the Gray Family and Titus, but it would cause some harm to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtheir reputation and make it easier for Sonia and Toby to attack them in the future.
The space between Toby's brows was no longer wrinkled after he saw that Sonia had agreed to his idea. "When
you're providing information to the investigation team, try not to reveal your identity. It'd be best if the team had
just happened to hear the news from some random person," Toby said into the phone.
"I got it," Tom replied. Toby pressed his lips together as he continued. "And for Connor... He likes snatching things
from others, right? So let's give him a taste of his own medicine. Let's see how he likes it when others snatch his
things," he said viciously.
"Alright." The call ended after that, and Toby massaged his temples as he lowered his phone. Sonia could tell that
the man was rather tired, so she made him a cup of coffee. "By the way, you mentioned Zane's name earlier. What
was that about?"
"It's nothing. It was just a passing mention. Don't worry about it," Toby said as he lifted his coffee cup to his lips and
gave Sonia a warm smile. Unfortunately, his smile didn't reach his eyes. I will not tell her that Zane's also helping
with this. I'd be making my love rival seem like a good person, right? Sonia didn't ask much about it since Toby
made no further comments. She figured that it was probably some minor thing, so she didn't see the need to ask
anymore. She knew how envious Toby could sometimes get, anyway. The more I ask, the more I'd make him
jealous, right?
Charles was the only one who sat around and stared at them. When he looked at Toby, he felt like he could roll his
eyes all the way back. Doesn't Sonia know that this guy is doing all of this intentionally? Zane clearly did something
for Sonia, and Toby's undoubtedly hiding this for his own benefit. We're all men, so we all know what it's like, right?
Even though Charles didn't think highly of Toby, it never crossed his mind to expose Toby, either. After all, Charles
knew how Zane felt toward Sonia, and Charles, too, didn't want to make his love rival look like a good person.
