Chapter 1247


    Thesedies might envy Sonia for being able to date Toby, but they weren''t really going to do


    anything to her.


    Sonia knew that as well and she decided to let things slide. Just a few jealousdies. I''ll let it slide


    as long as they keep their emotions in check and don''te after me. She knew how much of a


    ladies'' man Toby was. Dating him meant receiving the envy of countless women. Besides, if they


    envy me, that means I''m good at what I do.


    Naturally, Toby also noticed the looks thosedies were giving Sonia and he narrowed his eyes.


    "Time to have a chat with their fathers again."


    Sonia held his arm. "It''s fine. They''re just jealous. Not like they did anything bad. If you threaten


    them, we''d be in the wrong."


    "But they''re looking at you wrong—"


    She interrupted, "I know, but it doesn''t matter. Just ignore them. You can teach them a lesson if they


    actually try to do anything bad."


    If she insists. Toby could only shrug. "Come. I want to introduce you to some people. They''re in


    simr industries as Paradigm Co., so knowing them will be good for you."


    "Sure." Sonia smiled as she linked her arm with his.


    Some people tried to make small talk with Toby, but he ignored them and took Sonia in a specific


    direction. He scanned the hall the moment he came in and he knew who was standing in which part


    of the hall. There was no need to even think before he took Sonia to meet up with her potential


    business partners. He knew where they were standing.


    Perhaps it was Toby, or perhaps the people were friendly in the first ce, but either way, Sonia got


    along well with the people Toby introduced. The tips they gave her would be handy someday. After


    the talk, she had gotten herself some cards. She even had a pleasant surprise—someone wanted


    to work with her.


    One of the guys made a proposal once he knew Paradigm Co. would open up a factory. He would


    survey the ce and sign a deal with her if the machines were up to par. That was a surprise for


    Sonia and one she never expected. She had only nned to get to know the event organizer''s wife


    and get to him through her. Then, she would try to get a little counter at their mall.


    It was why she came, the only reason she came. This potential deal came as a surprise. It might


    look like arrogance on her part when she said the deal would seed even before the signing, but


    she had confidence in the Kosovo machines she ordered. They were state-of-the-art and were


    modified as well. If these machines were not up to par, she couldn''t imagine anything else that


    could. I think this will work.


    They bade goodbye to the gentlemen and came to the hall''s rest area. A lot of people tried to make


    small talk with Toby, but they had no courage to do so. He looked aloof and would only stay with his


    wife.


    Obviously, Toby wasn''t here to talk business. Every time these people tried to go near him, they


    would get a look of warning from the man, telling them to back off. If they ignored that, they would


    be stupid. Hence, they had no choice but to stay back, but their eyes were always on him and


    Sonia.


    And their lips twitched when they saw how nice he was to Sonia. They felt like screaming when they


    saw him filling up her ss, straightening out her dress, and making the couch pillows plumper.


    It was unbelievable. This man was an apex predator in the business world. A man whomanded


    fear in everyone''s heart and yet, he was so nice to his wife. Almost like a simp, even. This was eye-


    opening for the men.

    However, thedies—or to be precise, Toby''s admirers—felt their envy roaring. Toby Fuller was the


    man of their dreams and they wanted him to be nice to them, not Sonia. How on earth did she get to


    date him?


    Thedies'' envy was almost palpable. At the same time, a pair of regr-lookingdies stood in a


    corner, stealing nces at Sonia as they muttered among themselves.


    "I thought Miss Lore said President Fuller doesn''t like Sonia. What''s going on? Why is he so nice to


    her? This doesn''t scream loveless to me."


    "Beats me. Miss Lore might be lying."


    "No way. Her grandfather is Mr. Fuller''s mentor and she''s his childhood friend. I don''t think she


    would lie."


    "Then tell me—are they in love or are they not?"


    The twodies fell silent at that.


    A momentter, thedy who spoke first a moment ago said with uncertainty, "I think we should


    trust Miss Lore. She did say Mr. Fuller only got back with Sonia because she has dirt on him. Maybe


    he''s nice to her because she''s threatening her. We gotta help Miss Lore out and get Mr. Fuller back


    for her."


    The otherdy shivered. With terror in her voice, she muttered, "But if our guess is wrong… If Mr.


    Fuller does love her, you know what will happen to us."


    Her friend paused for a moment. "I know, but we''re Miss Lore''s friends. We should trust her. She will


    defend us from Mr. Fuller''s wrath even if we''re wrong. She''s his childhood friend, and the Lores and


    Fullers are good friends. My dad said there''s been some misunderstanding between themtely, but


    they might patch things up, and I think that''s very possible. Miss Lore did say Mr. Fuller is just mad


    at them because they didn''t consult him before they made that move. As long as they apologize,


    he''ll let it slide. I bet Mr. Fuller will note for us for Miss Lore''s sake."


    "True. We are her friends and we should help her. Once Miss Lore is here, we''ll talk to her. We''re


    going to make sure Sonia pays the price. How dare she threaten Mr. Fuller? Maybe Mr. Fuller will


    reward us if we take back the dirt on him and teach Sonia a lesson."


    "Ooh, that''s possible."


    The na?vedies nodded in excitement as they came up with a n to humiliate Sonia.
