Chapter 1048


    Facing against Tom, Toby turned around to find him standing outside the door with a tense


    expression on his face.


    Toby knew his assistant well; with an expression like this, he was sure something was wrong and it


    could not be minor.


    "I''m sorry, Harry. Please excuse me," Toby apologized to Harry, who sat across from him.


    Knowing what he was about to say, Harry picked up the teacup and smiled. "It''s fine. You can take


    care of your business first. I don''t mind waiting for you; I''m not in a hurry."


    "All right, then. Please wait a moment, Harry." Toby nodded and waved to Tom outside the door.


    Tom walked over after noticing Toby’s gesture. "President Fuller."


    "What''s the matter?” Toby asked, his gaze fixed on Tom.


    Tom did not respond immediately, instead, he cast a nce at Harry, who was drinking tea across


    from Toby.


    "Harry is not an outsider, so it doesn''t matter," Toby assured when he saw this.


    "Okay." After hearing Toby''s words, Tom was naturally relieved. He nodded and turned to Toby.


    "President Fuller, something happened to Miss Reed."


    "What exactly happened?" Toby''s expression changed and his tone became tense.


    Tom''s lips parted and was about to respond when Harry, who was drinking tea, abruptly put down


    his cup and asked, "Is Miss Reed the woman you got back together with after your divorce?”


    "Yes." Toby gave a small nod.


    "Speaking of which, I haven''t seen her in a long time," Harry said as he touched the teacup, his


    smile widening.


    Toby did not notice anything wrong with Harry''s expression; he simply assumed he was intrigued by


    Sonia. As a result, he replied, "You will also attend the banquet in the mall soon. By then, I’ll


    introduce you to each other.”


    "There''s no need to rush." Harry raised his hand, clearly indicating that he was not too keen to meet


    Sonia.


    To put it bluntly, he was not fond of her.


    "Harry, you seem to have some opinions about her, don''t you?" Toby''s shallow smile faded


    gradually.


    For a brief moment, Harry was taken aback because he had not expected to be exposed.


    Ami being too obvious?


    Though stunned, Harry was not embarrassed when Toby was aware of his dislike toward Sonia.


    Instead, his expression remained as calm as it had always been before he admitted it openly and


    graciously.


    "I actually do," Harry replied, nodding.


    His words made Toby frown.


    Tom, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. The old man just straight up stated that he dislikes Miss


    Reed. He really doesn''t hold back his words from President Fuller, does he?Afier all, no one can


    ept the person they like being disliked by others. Even if Harry has reservations toward Miss


    Reed, he should remain silent. Why does he have to air his dirtyundry?Point is, he is in President


    Fuller''s office right now. How ironic.


    "Harry, may I ask what the reason is?” Toby asked in a low voice with his thin lips pursed.


    Harry maintained a friendly smile on his face as if he could not understand Toby’s discontent. "It''s a


    simple reason, really. She''s just not good enough for you," he exined.


    Even Tom''s lips twitched when he heard Harry''s words, let alone Toby''s reaction.


    Not good enough?He sure is witty''.No one else''s opinions matter as long as President Fuller likes


    Miss Reed. Not Old Mrs.


    Fuller has said such a bizarre thing. She even adores Miss Reed''.As a result, Miss Reed was


    approved and weed into the Fuller Family wholeheartedly.Isn''t it ironic for an outsider to say


    something like that?

    "I''m sorry, Harry, but I must disagree with you. I believe she is the best match for me." Toby sat


    back, his face darkening.


    This time, Harry could not pretend that he had not noticed Toby''s displeasure in his tone.


    After all, Harry''s continued pretense would be seen as deliberate seeing that Toby had made his


    stance clear.


    "Am I not speaking the truth, Toby?"


    Looking at Toby, Harry inquired.


    Speechless, Toby''s face gave nothing away.


    Harry clenched his fist around the teacup as his first impression of Sonia worsened.


    His students, in his opinion, had always had the highest regard for him and they almost never


    disagreed with him.


    After being with Sonia now, Toby had a series of disagreements with him.


    She was clearly the one who had brought bad influence to his student. At that point, Harry''s face


    had lost its friendly expression before it turned gloomy and serious.


    "Toby, don''t you understand? You are the head of the Fullers and she is just a daughter from a


    fallen wealthy family. She is an adopted child unknown even to her biological parents. She has no


    outstanding family background and ability. How can such a woman be worthy of you? She can''t


    even assist you in any aspects. Don''t forget that your father was ridiculed for marrying a woman like


    her as well. Do you want to follow his footsteps?" questioned Harry.


    He was thoroughly upset because


    Toby had not turned out as he had hoped.


    "Harry, I''m with Sonia not because of her family background but my genuine feelings for her. I love


    her, so I want to be with her. Although she''s just a girl from an ordinary family, as long as I like her,


    she''s worthy of me. Furthermore, the Fuller Group is strong enough; an arranged marriage is no


    longer required, so I don''t need a wife with an outstanding family background and strong ability to


    help me strengthen mypany. I''m strong enough to keep the Fuller Group prosperous, so my


    wife can simply be who she is. I don’t need my wife to work her life away just to support me. She


    can simply bask in all the glory and riches under my protection," Toby rebuked with a deep frown.


    He paused for a while as his eyes narrowed slightly before adding, "As for my dad, I believe you''re


    cracking a joke here. It''s true that my father was mocked a lot, but that was because he had just


    inherited the Fuller Group and wasn''t strong enough then. He had not established his own business


    authority, but I am different here. I inherited the Fuller Group at a young age and brought it to its


    current position of strength and prosperity. I''m also a well-known and respected business figure, so


    no one dares to mock me or my wife. Trust me when I say I''ll skin them if they do so!" His demeanor


    was icy and threatening, especially when delivering thest sentence.


    Even if Harry did not think Toby was warning him, he could not help but be intimidated at this point


    as his face turned pale for a moment.


    However, the experienced old man quickly regained hisposure and sighed. "You truly are in


    love with her, huh? I see you''ve poured your heart out for her." He pointed at Toby.


    "I love her, so I must give her my heart. Otherwise, what''s love?" Toby pursed his lips.


    "You..." In rage, Harry choked on his words.


    Tom, who was standing next to Toby, lowered his head slightly while resisting the urge tough.


    Oh... Fuller. I never expected any less from you. With just a few words, you''ve managed to enrage


    this old man. Ha!
