Chapter 780
If that is the case...
Everyone secretly looked at each other and saw smiles in each other''s eyes.
If it was Toby''s phone that was ringing, they could watch him mess up for once since it was
something that they had never witnessed before. After all, he was a faultless person, so it was
impossible for others to see him make a fool out of himself.
However, it might not necessarily be the case this time. Of course they were prepared to see him
make a fool out of himself since this was the first time in history.
Thinking about it, everyone began to covertly look forward to it in excitement.
Toby didn''t care about these people''s thoughts. He switched on his phone screen and saw that a
few messages had popped up. As soon as he saw them, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Well, it was really his phone. Sure enough, he had made a fool of himself earlier when he
questioned others, which was why he was now embarrassed.
If it were someone random who sent the messages and dared to embarrass him in public, he would
skin them alive. However, the person who sent the messages was his darling, so how could he be
willing to do that?
Toby massaged his brows before he turned off his phone and momentarily ignored the few
messages from Sonia. He knew that she was not the kind of ignorant person who texted him when
she was aware that he was in a meeting. Since she had sent him a message at this time, there was
probably something serious happening, but it was not particrly urgent. Otherwise, she would
have directly called him.
Thus, it would be fine to read the messagester as the current meeting was much more important.
He set the phone aside, picked up theser pointer and said nothing. Then, he turned around and
calmly walked toward the big screen without any emotion on his face as if he was not the slightest
bit embarrassed by the misunderstanding.
All in all, as long as he was not embarrassed, it would be the others who would feel as such,
especially when everyone didn''t know what Toby thought. After he saw that it was indeed his phone,
he calmly ced it down as if nothing had happened and left those present a little dumbfounded.
What''s going on here?
The subtle expression that Toby had when he looked at the phone earlier told him that it was indeed
his phone that was ringing. However, why didn''t Toby feel embarrassed? How were they supposed
to see him make a fool of himself if he was not embarrassed?
Everyone looked at each other again and they all saw the disbelief in each other''s eyes.
Sure enough, Toby was still the same person. Even if he was filled with embarrassment, he would
not reveal it before them. Ugh, what a pity. I thought we would have a chance...

Everyone shook their heads in regret.
"Let''s continue." Seeing these people looking downcast, he knew what they were thinking about and
snorted coldly, not intending to bother with them.
There were indeed many people who wanted to see him making a fool of himself, but no one had
seeded so far.
The meeting hadsted nearly four hours, after which it finally came to an end. Everyone gathered
the documents in front of them and left the conference room in satisfaction.
How could they be dissatisfied? After the n was set in motion, all they had to do was to wait for
the profit. Once thepany had made the profit, the shareholders'' pockets would also swell, so
they were grinning from ear to ear when they left one by one.
Toby didn''t leave but merely pulled out his chair and sat down to ease his stiff legs.
In this meeting, he was basically standing all the time and he didn''t stop talking. He kept describing
the n, which resulted in his now sore and dry throat. Then, he took a sip of the coffee that had
already cooled down in front of him before picking up his phone. He was now ready to check the
messages that Sonia had sent.
However, after he finished reading the text, his expression changed as he jumped from his chair
angrily. "Tom!"
His shout was filled with an undisguised coldness and hardness. When Tom heard his voice
outside, he immediately opened the door to enter. "President Fuller, what''s the matter with you?"
Looking at Toby''s extremely dark face, Tom immediately understood that something bad had
happened. However, Toby didn’t answer but merely handed over his phone.
Although Tom didn’t understand what was going on, he still took the phone over. The first thing that
he saw was the nickname of ''Little Leaf on the top of the screen, which made him raise his
eyebrows involuntarily.
Why is President Fuller showing me his chat record with Miss Reed? Could it be that he wants to
show off his rtionship with her? If so....
He forced a smile on his face. If this was the case, he didn''t want to see it, but he couldn''t throw the
phone aside either. As he thought about it in irritation, he still read the chat as per Toby''s orders.
Tom had initially thought it was an intimate conversation between Toby and Sonia, but what he
didn''t expect was her saying that someone had trespassed Toby''s office to look for documents.
"President Fuller, this..." Tom''s expression had also changed as he hurriedly looked at Toby. No
wonder President Fuller was so angry earlier. He thought that it was because the couple were
arguing with each other and never once expected Toby’s reaction to be a result of this revtion at
all.
"It''s Damon Lore." Toby tightly pursed his thin lips and uttered these words in an emotionless voice.
Tom returned the phone to Toby. "He hasn''t given up."
Toby sneered. "He is not satisfied with being an idle shareholder because he is the veteran of the
Fuller Group. He has always wanted to be a shareholder with real power, the kind who can
influence my decision-making and pave the way for the younger generation of the Lore Family. The
document on that infrastructure project is the only way for him to gain real power, so he certainly
won''t give up."
"That’s true." Tom nodded. "There is something wrong with that infrastructure n, though.
Otherwise, President Fuller, you wouldn''t have been holding back from implementing it all these
while. After all, it''s a mega-project worth tens of billions."
"He couldn''t see the problem, though; he thought I was a fool who refused to make money, that''s
why he repeatedly mentioned the implementation of the n to me and asked me to hand over the
n to him with full responsibility. He thought that as long as he does a good job on it, I and the
other shareholders will not object nor dare to object if he asks for real powerter. After all, he will
be a hero who has made great contributions to the Fuller Group. However, he really didn''t
think it through. Am I really the kind of person who refuses to make money? If this n is so good,
will I keep holding it back?" Toby added with a frosty face.
Tom sighed. "Yes, there are too many problems in this n and there are many government
departments to be involved. If you are not careful, it will all copse. By that time, the Fuller Group
will definitely run into huge problems. Mr. Lore is really a piece of work, though. After he wasn''t able
to obtain the nning documents from you, he actually had someonee to your office to find
them. It''s just..."
He didn''t finish his words as it was clear that he wanted to say how brainless Damon Lore was.
For a questionable project, he hadpletely offended Toby! As a result, Damon was now finished.
"Let''s head back to the office!" Toby grabbed his phone and strode out of the conference room. He
wanted to hurry back to the office to check on Sonia''s situation. When Damon’s thief entered the
office, she was alone, so she was probably scared.
Thinking that Sonia was probably afraid at that time, Toby felt his heart constricting in distress.
Soon, he returned to the office and opened the door himself without waiting for Tom to do it.
"Little Leaf..." Before Toby''s words were fully said, Toby suddenly saw Sonia asleep on the couch
and immediately swallowed the words that he wanted to express.
Behind him was Tom, who saw that he had stopped and didn''t go any forward, so he asked,
"President Fuller, what''s the matter?"
Toby raised his hand and lowered his voice. "It''s okay; go and check on Damon first to see who he
had sent to my office.”
"Yes.” Tom nodded in agreement and turned to do as ordered.
Then, Toby closed the door of the office and quietly walked toward the sofa.
