Chapter 950
How is that possible?! Why would I fail? For a time, Asher couldn''t ept such an oue. In his
opinion, men were supposed to behave as he thought they would. There was no man who wouldn''t
mind his better half s origins. In fact, the higher the man''s standing was, the more he would mind it.
After all, if word got out that he fell in love with an orphan despite being of such a high social
standing, people wouldugh at him and gossip about him. Men were creatures who cared about
their reputation. How could they possibly not care about these things?
Seeing Asher''s twitching facial muscles, Sonia could no longer restrain herself. She mocked,
"Seems like President Dafoe doesn''t quite believe your words." She gently poked Toby’s slim waist.
Toby''s eyes darkened; he grabbed her naughty finger and held it in a tight grip. "Stop it." A man''s
waist is one of his erogenous zones, so it can''t be touched as one pleases. She''s ying with fire!
Seeing his darkened eyes, Sonia realized why he asked her to stop. Her face blushing, she
withdrew her finger from his grasp and turned her head away as though nothing had
happened.
Seeing how she fled after flirting with him like a ygirl, Toby was both vexed and amused. "I''ll
settle the score with youter," he whispered in her ear with his head lowered before turning his
gaze back to Asher with a frosty look in his eyes. "President Dafoe, I can only say that you don''t
understand me. Not every man behaves as you think they will. Whatever kind of a person you are, it
doesn''t mean that the others are the same kind of people." In other words, he implied that Asher
was the kind of man who cared about both his woman’s family background and his reputation.
Understanding what Toby meant, Asher felt deeply embarrassed, but he couldn''t admit it. Therefore,
he could only continue to smile catingly, saying, "You''ve got to be joking, President Fuller. That
isn’t what I mean. Sonia is my family friend, so how can I possibly harbor such ideas? I only wish
the best for both of you."
Seeing how Asher refused to admit his doings and even lied through his teeth after she and Toby
had expressed themselves so bluntly without sparing his feelings, Sonia couldn''t help but roll her
eyes. Inwardly, she was very impressed. After all, no ordinary person could be a match for Asher
when it came to shamelessness.

"You only wish the best for both of us, huh?" Toby repeated softly in a tone that was worth
pondering as his thin lips parted.
Asher nodded repeatedly. "Yes, of course. Really, I only think that Sonia is pitiful, and I have no
intention of wounding her pride or sowing discord between you two. Believe me, President Fuller. If I
had such ideas, I''d have put them into practice, right? Why would I wait until now? I only feel sorry
for her. She was abandoned by her biological parents as a child, and after she was finally adopted,
Henry''s wife suddenly fell ill and passed away when she was one year old. When she was five
years old, she got a stepmother. As the saying goes, a stepmotheres with a stepfather."
As he spoke of this, he darted another look at Sonia. Then, pretending to pity her as though he
didn''t see how sullen she looked as if she wanted to rip him to shreds, he continued, "Well, Henry
didn''t go so far as to be like a stepfather, but he definitely didn''t care about Sonia as much as
he had at first. So, I thought it was perhaps because she didn''t have too much love from her father
as a child that she always surrounded herself with men to get love from them. At first, there was the
Lane brat, followed by the male model in show business that was surnamed Lee. Then, there was
the Coleman guy. Of course, I don''t mean anything else by saying this. President Fuller, I just want
to tell you that Sonia is craving love, which is why she always has so many men around her. So,
you have to take good care of her and not me her. Those people are all a thing of the past.
Indeed, Sonia deserves pity." I''ve made myself so clear that Sonia is a promiscuous wh*re who has
so many men around her. There''s no way that Toby wouldn''t mind it. If he still doesn''t mind it, I''ll
doubt if he''s really a man! Asher was confident about his n. Firstly, he emphasized that Sonia''s
mother had somehow passed away from an illness when she was little. Wouldn''t that mean Sonia
had brought bad luck to her mother? After all, her mother was fine before she joined the Reed
Family. After that, he cooked up a story where Sonia had been craving love since childhood
because her father didn''t love her enough. He then used her of being a loose woman who
couldn''t live without men after growing up so that Toby would take offense at this.
He really has another trick up his sleeve when his previous trick doesn''t work. He yed such a
move right after his previous n failed just to sabotage my rtionship with Toby, huh? thought
Sonia. She knew that there was nothing between her and Charles and the others. At this very
moment, however, she couldn''t help but worry that the man next to her would overthink and mind it.
Therefore, after looking daggers at Asher with bloodshot eyes, she hurriedly turned to look at the
man next to her as Asher watched smugly. "Toby..."
Just as she wanted to say something, Toby suddenly let out a chuckle that caused her heart to skip
a beat. Feeling even more anxious, she called out again in a voice filled with apprehension, "Toby..."
Noticing that Sonia had started to panic, Asher could hardly hide his excitement. It works! Finally, I
sessfully made Toby love her less. As long as Toby no longer cares so much about her, he
definitely won''t marry her. If I had known earlier that I''d seed by saying so, I''d have said so at the
beginning. Inwardly, he couldn''t help being somewhat frustrated, but his frustrations vanished soon
afterward. In any case, he had now seeded. Even though he had taken a few bad turns, it was
enough that the oue was what he wanted.
Seeing how Sonia looked at Toby nervously, Asher sneered smugly and intended to say something
more to add insult to injury for the purpose of making the couple break up right here. However, just
when he wanted to do so, Toby lifted Sonia''s face while looking at him with a chilling smile. "Who
said that I''d me her?"
Sonia was startled.
Asher was stunned as well, and he looked incredibly funny as his smug expression froze on his
face. President Fuller, what do you mean?" His voice quavered somewhat as a feeling of unease
arose inside him. He won''t me Sonia? Don''t tell me it''s really what I thought! If he doesn''t even
me her for this, is he still a man? Are there people who like to get cuckolded nowadays?
"Didn''t I make myself clear?" Toby gently caressed Sonia''s lips with his thumb. "Indeed, she used to
have a few men around her in the past. But why should I me her for that? We hadn''t started
seeing each other at the time, right? Now that we''re together, did you see those men showing up
around her again?"
Stumped by Toby''s words, Asher was rendered speechless. Indeed, he hadn''t seen those men
showing up at Paradigm Co. for a long time. "Even so, it doesn''t prove that they never showed up
again around Sonia.
Perhaps it was just that I didn''t see it," Asher uttered between clenched teeth. Screw it! I have to
sabotage their rtionship today, or I''ll be in trouble!
"Ha!" Sonia grabbed Toby''s wrist and took his hand off her chin. Staring at Asher, she said in a
gloomy voice, "President Dafoe, you really can''t wait to crush me to death, huh? You call me a
family friend, but youy traps for me with every word you say. You can''t bear to see me doing well,
can you? Well, I dare not have a family friend like you. Otherwise, I''ll probably die without knowing
who
killed me."
