Chapter 1255


    The skinnydy nodded her head in quick session, telling the couple that it was the truth.


    The chubbydy looked at the couple to gauge their reaction. When she saw they didn''t say


    anything and were seemingly waiting for her to borate further, she steadied her nerves before


    continuing, "We only had a few meetups with her, but since we used to be good friends, it didn''t take


    long before we became close again, not to mention she kept on bringing up some of our good old


    times during our meetings. Then, in one of our meetings, we asked her why she had gone overseas


    six years ago without even saying goodbye, and she suddenly cried. She told us someone had


    forced her to…" She trailed off as she threw a fearful nce at Sonia.


    Sonia cocked her eyebrow. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did she tell you I was the one who


    forced her?"


    The chubbydy nodded in response. "Yeah, that''s what she said."


    Sonia looked like she had just heard the biggest joke in the world, and she swung Toby''s arm


    around. "Did you hear that? She said I forced her. What a joke! I didn''t even know her six years ago.


    How on earth could I even force her to do anything?" Besides, I''m not the sort of woman who would


    drive someone out of their home country.


    The girls were surprised to find out Sonia didn''t know Lte six years ago, but they didn''t find it all


    that shocking. After all, she had deceived them on many things, so it wouldn''t be a surprise if she


    had lied to them about this, too.


    "Oh, wow. I didn''t know you''re the reason she had to go overseas." There was a cold glint in Toby''s


    eyes as he said that.


    Sensing the sarcasm in his words, she yed along and shrugged. "I know right? I didn''t know


    either. How was I supposed to make her go overseas when I didn''t even know who she was? Was


    there another me by any chance who did it?" Sheughed after saying that.


    He gave her hand a soft squeeze.


    She suddenly asked, "So, why did she go overseas six years ago?"

    "To study, or so she said. She had been overseas for six years, yet she didn''t even get a Ph.D.


    certificate," he answered coolly. No doubt that was a lie as well.


    Sonia rubbed her chin as she deduced, "In that case, she probably didn''t go overseas to study. It


    was for something else. Something kept her there for six years. Okay, now I''m interested."


    "You can just ask her if you want, but we have another matter to settle." He patted her head


    affectionately before turning his attention back to the girls again, and the love in his eyes was


    immediately reced by indifference.


    The girls couldn''t believe he could switch from a loving man to a furious executioner in mere


    seconds, and they exchanged a look. At this point, they knew Lte had lied to them. The hell


    they aren''t in love. He loves her so deeply. Just look at how nice he is only to her. If that''s not love,


    then nothing is. Screw that b*tch for lying to us! they cursed at Lte in silence. Their hatred for


    her mounted.


    Then, Toby questioned them in an icy tone, "Why did she tell you my lover made her leave six years


    ago?"


    The chubbydy gulped. Quickly, she answered, "She wanted to gain our sympathy and turn us


    against you."


    "Oh?" Her reply had piqued Sonia''s interest. "Do borate."


    Without a moment of dy, the chubbydy answered, "Lte loves President Fuller, but he loves


    you, Miss Reed. She can''t ept such a reality, so she''s been trying to break you two up."


    Sonia and Toby refrained frommenting on that.


    "Go on," he said.


    The chubbydy curled up a little. "Lte got herself involved in the me wars two days ago, but


    it backfired, and she''s now the Inte''sughingstock. She decided to lurk and stop getting herself


    involved, so she ''reconnected'' with us and lied to us. She told us that you two got back together not


    because of love but because Miss Reed has dirt on you. She said Miss Reed was using that to


    make you do whatever she wanted. Lte also told us Miss Reed forced her to go overseas six


    years ago because Miss Reed didn''t like her getting too close to you, so she made her fly away


    behind your back."


    "Hahaha!" Sonia couldn''t hold back herughter any longer. She burst outughing. She was


    laughing so much that even tears wereing out.


    Even Toby thought Lte''s lie was preposterous. It wasughable, but he would never show his


    emotions to anyone. Unless Sonia was the only one around. Otherwise, he would face everything


    calmly, no matter how much it stirred his heart.


    "D-Did you hear that? They… They said you came back to me because I have dirt on you! They


    actually thought you were forced. Gosh, this is the greatest joke of the year!" She bent slightly as


    she held her stomach,ughing uncontrobly.


    He wrapped his arm around her waist to steady her. "Hold still. Else, you would fall or bump into


    things. And stopughing already. Doesn''t your stomach hurt?" He noticed that she was clutching


    her belly, so he figured she must have hurt her stomach fromughing too much.


    Even so, she didn''t stop. This was all too hrious for her. "It does, but I can''t stop." She looked at


    him. Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were glistening. At that moment, she looked just like a poor


    little kitten.


    Toby heaved a sigh. He pushed her head closer to him and pressed his lips against hers.


    Sonia froze up as the kiss came too suddenly, and herughing abruptly stopped.


    Seeing that she had stoppedughing, he let her go with a satisfied look on his face. "Well, now you


    can."


    She shot him a look and shoved him away.


    He chuckled at her bashfulness.


    She took a deep breath and massaged her cheeks. Gosh, they''re sore. She then turned her


    attention to the awkward pair. "So, you believed her? You thought I forced him toe back to me


    because I had dirt on him?"


    Thedies nodded in embarrassment. They did trust her, and without any questions, even.


    "Fools," Sonia harrumphed. "No wonder she managed to use you guys. Are you stupid? You can''t


    trust anything she says. You think I can even get any dirt on Toby? Who do you think he is? Some


    random guy? And even if I managed to get any dirt on him, do you think he would listen to me? No,


    he''d wring my head off and neutralize the threat I pose."


    The girls nodded. Sonia''s words sank in really quickly. Without Lte''s lies blinding them, they


    could finally see the truth they had never seen. Their minds could finally grasp the sliver of truth.


    Now, they realized someone like Toby would never let himself be so unguarded that anyone could


    get dirt on him, nor would he let anyone control him that easily. Thanks to that, they realized Sonia


    was right. He would never let anyone threaten him. We were stupid to believe every word Lte


    said without question. Miss Reed is right. We are stupid.


    Toby ignored the girls. Instead, he looked at Sonia with a tender gaze. "I would have wrung the


    necks of anyone else, but if you were the one who got the dirt on me, I''d listen to anything you say."
