Chapter 39
Sonia was already in a bad mood, but she had never expected that Carl would send her a gift even
though he was in Palmont.
Receiving the present had relieved her of her negative emotions.
After she replied to his message, she wore the ring on her ring finger to cover the marks of her
previous wedding ring.
When Toby saw Sonia’s cheerful smile, the expression in his eyes immediately sank.
Cynthia had never expected someone to present Sonia with such an expensive gift, which made
her annoyed and jealous. She suddenly remembered something and intentionally asked in a loud
voice, “Miss Reed, didn’t you say that your boyfriend is Charles? You also used his name to enter
this club. On the other hand, Mr. Lee is the male model who was involved in some rumors with you,
right? I bet you guys are more than just friends for him to send you such an expensive gift.” She
snorted coldly before she added, “I even heard rumors that you might have another man, which is
why you wanted to divorce President Fuller. I didn’t believe it at first, but now it seems like the
rumors are true!”
Sonia merely gave a coldugh. As for the reasons for wanting a divorce from Toby—even if others
don’t know it, I bet he knows.
She looked at Toby with the expectation that he would rify things for her, but he merely sat there
with Tina in his arms and a cold look in his eyes without moving. Well, didn’t I see everything
earlier? What am I expecting?
When the tattoo on Sonia’s waist waspletely removed, the slight fire within her waspletely
extinguished.
“Miss Reed, say something!” Cynthia continued to force her. “Does Charles know about Mr. Lee s
present? Does he know that you are cheating on him?”
“It’s a beautiful room, but why is there a sparrow here?” At this moment, Charles’ voice rang in the
room. Right after he asked that question, he walked into the room with a ck shirt and a disdainful
expression on his face. “This sparrow is noisy and annoying. I wish I could cut her tongue and make
her shut the hell up.”
His vicious words had stunned Cynthia’s tongue into silence as she subconsciously staggered
backward by a few steps.
As Charles stood right in front of her and appraised her from head to toe, he clucked his tongue.
“Why are you retreating? Are you
scared? Do you think you’re that sparrow?” “N-No,” she stammered.
“I think you are. You sound like the sparrow I’m talking about.” With that, he pulled her hair and
mmed her head into the table where they had yed poker earlier. Then, he asked casually,
“Who’s free to pass me a knife?”
Reba immediately snatched the knife from the fruit tter and passed it to Charles while she
cared toment, “This knife is extremely sharp. Be careful not to hurt yourself.”
Cynthia’s legs trembled and she immediately burst into tears. “T-Tina... Melody...”
However, the entire room fell into extreme silence as no one actually spoke up for her. Tina had
grabbed Toby’s sleeves and wanted to stand up in anger. However, he pressed her down and
signaled for her to sit down.
He wanted to see how far Charles was willing to go to take revenge for Sonia.
“Why? Have you all be mute?” Charles looked around his surroundings and was rather
surprised to see even Tina and Toby there. With a cold snort, he turned around to look at Reba,
who had passed him the knife. “Tell me, did they bully my baby just now?”
“It’s not just bullying!” She immediately rushed over and spilled the beans.
Upon listening to Reba’s exnation, Charles shot a nce at Toby and snorted coldly for the
second time. Then, he pushed Cynthia aside before he advised Sonia, “Why don’t you head to our
room first? Once I’ve sorted out the matters here, I’ll head over.”
“It’s okay. Let’s go.” Sonia grabbed Charles’ arm as she didn’t want him to have a grudge with the
Stryder Family because of her. “Celebrating your birthday is more important.”
However, her movement was reflected in Toby’s eyes, which made his gaze even deeper.
“That won’t do. You are being bullied here. As your childhood friend, I can’t simply stand aside and
watch.” Charles waved at Reba to ask her to bring Sonia away. “I’ll just teach them a lesson. I
won’t hurt them.”
“Let’s go, President Reed. Charles will know what to do.” With that, she yanked Sonia out of the
room.
He quickly walked to the poker table and found a ce to sit down. “Let’s y a few more rounds.
You can choose three people whom you like to y the game with.”
Then, he lowered his head and took a puff from his cigarette before he casually added, “If any of
you wins, I will give you 10 million. On top of that, I will kneel before you and address you as ‘my
lord’. If I win against you all, you just have to remove your clothes and leave the room in that
manner.
Compared to Charles’ bet, it was nothing for them to remove their clothes. His proposition had
caused the rest of the women in the room to be slightly moved. If we win, we would get 10 million!
After being annoyed by his arrogant attitude, Melody walked over inrge strides after gritting her
teeth. Then, she pulled the chair to his right and sat down as sheughed coldly. “Charles, I’ll be
waiting for you to call me your lord!”
Charles yfully leaned against his chair. “Sure. Who else is in? Let’s start soon. After that, I’m
heading over to apany my baby.”
After all, she was there. If she did not say anything, the rest did not dare to make a move even
though they wanted to join.
Melody chose a few other women who were good at poker before she looked at Tina.
Even though Melody had said nothing, Tina understood her implicit words.
“Toby, Mr. Lane is going overboard. Why don’t you help us out?” Tina asked softly. She knew that
Toby was good at poker and that Charles might not be able to win against him.
However, Toby merely sat there without moving. He then responded in a low voice, “I still have
some emails to settle. You can go ahead to y with him.”
She did not expect that he would reject her. Even though her body froze in that instant, she quickly
smiled. “Alright. Wait for me for a while more then.”
Charles did not feel pressured when he yed poker with the three other women. He had yed
the game aggressively and ruthlessly.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Before they wrapped up thest round, he impatiently knocked on the table. “Are you guys idiots?
You are so slow at ying the game. Could you be faster?”
His words made their faces blush red in anger.
Tina had made a self promation that her skills in poker were excellent. She thought that with the
three of them against Charles, one of them would at least win. Unexpectedly, no matter what she
yed, he had followed suit and was aiming at her.
Before they could even finish the game, Tina had already taken most of her clothes with only her
strappy white camisole remaining.
“I win!” He revealed his cards again.
Tina secretly gritted her teeth. She could tell that he was aiming at her to avenge Sonia.
After Charles flicked away the ashes from his cigarette, he prompted her, “What are you waiting for,
Miss Gray? Take your clothes off!"
