Chapter 1262


    Thedies were giving the girl in the wheelchair weird looks. Looks of disdain. Of scorn. To them,


    this woman was nothing but a gold digger wishing to marry into a rich family. Such women would


    gain nothing but contempt from them, not to mention the woman was someone who couldn''t even


    stand up on her own two feet. In most cases, they wouldn''t look down on those with disabilities.


    However, their circle could be ableist when it came to marriage. They didn''t think this cripple was a


    worthy match for Toby. She was even worse than Sonia, for goodness'' sake. At least Sonia has fully


    functional limbs. But this woman has nothing, and she''s a cripple. She has no right to approach


    President Fuller. They''d rather see Toby marry Sonia than have this woman talk to him.


    One of thedies suddenly asked, "Does anyone have Sonia''s number? Call her right now. Tell her


    some wench is hitting on President Fuller."


    "We don''t have her number. Not like we''re friends with her."


    "Yeah. We should get a waiter to do this for us instead."


    "Alright. Get a waiter, then."


    A server came to them a whileter. Thedies embellished the story and told him to tell Sonia


    about it. The server nodded and looked at Toby for a moment before he went to do his job.


    Sonia had no idea that thedies who were jealous of her dating Toby just became ardent


    supporters of her rtionship with Toby just because of another woman hitting on him. They even


    went as far as to help her out, too. Yet, she had not the slightest idea of it as she was currently


    chatting with the host.


    Even Toby had no idea a woman was trying to hit on him. He closed his eyes and sipped on his


    wine, enjoying the moment of peace. However, the moment he heard the sound of a wheelchair, he


    stopped twirling his ss altogether. Apparently, the wheelchair''s appearance had soured his mood.


    Still, he didn''t open his eyes. He thought someone was just passing through. This wasn''t his turf,


    after all. Everyone made it look like it was, but that didn''t mean nobody could pass through his


    vicinity.


    As long as they didn''t disturb him, he wouldn''t care even if they passed through his vicinity. Since he


    thought the person was just passing by, he didn''t think he had to open his eyes to check who it was.


    However, he soon realized his guess was wrong. The person wasn''t passing by. They wereing


    toward him. The sound of the wheelchair was getting louder, and he could smell the scenting


    off that person. It''s a woman.


    Toby''s face fell. This woman''s appearance soured his mood once more. Probably anotherdy


    trying to hit on me. Ignored what I said and came to me, eh?


    He didn''t think all women would fall for him, but as long as he was the most powerful man in the city,


    he knew most women would want to date him. And he knew it was not for love, but for power,


    money, and status instead.


    The Acree Family was a perfect example. They were trying to hook their daughter up with him. If


    their n were to work, they would be one of the top families in the city. That was why a lot of


    aristocrats ignored his warning to try their luck. If it worked, they could get a lot of things. So, is this


    the Acree girl? But nobody told me she is wheelchair-bound. He opened his eyes to see who it was,


    only to be greeted by a familiar face.


    The girl didn''t expect Toby to open his eyes. It made her freeze for a moment, but then she quickly


    put on a gentle smile. "Fancy seeing you here, President Fuller."


    The woman had undergone cosmetic surgery. It looked natural, but it didn''t change the fact she had


    gone through that surgery. She might have a great smile, but he still thought it looked fake. So,


    when she shed him a smile, not only did he not find it attractive, but he also felt her smile was


    rather stiff, like a puppet. A hint of disgust filled his eyes as he growled, "It''s you!"


    "Yes, it''s me." She pushed her hair back, her smile broadening. The woman was none other than


    Anya.


    He narrowed his eyes. "This is no mere coincidence. Everyone knows I''d attend the banquet, but


    nobody from Westsanshire was invited. You didn''te here coincidentally. You came on purpose.


    Let me guess… Connor''s orders?"


    Connor''s base was in Westsanshire, but he was powerful enough that the host wouldn''t dare to


    offend him. Even though they had only invited Seafield''s aristocrats, any other city''s aristocrats


    could just tell them they wanted toe, and they would be permitted to enter. Must be the case for


    this one as well, Toby thought in silence.


    Anya nodded in response to his previous question. "Yes, it is. He said it''s time for me to get to know


    people in the circle now that I''m back in the fold. I''m a part of the family, so I must go around and


    get to know people. So, here I am. Initially, he had wanted toe with me, but he''s still in the


    hospital as his injuries still need to be tended to. Thus, I came alone." She heaved a sigh.

    Toby shot her an icy look. "Wrong. The Salzburgs are based in Westsanshire. The people you


    should get to know are also in Westsanshire, not Seafield. There''s no point in youing to this


    banquet, and this is not where you should announce yourself as the young miss of the Salzburgs.


    Besides, you''re not the real young miss of the family, either."


    Her smile went stiff upon hearing that. A great fear overwhelmed her, sending a chill running down


    her spine, and the air itself seemed to freeze as well.


    Thedies in the distance had been watching the conversation closely, and the moment Toby


    started talking to Anya, their faces were contorted by envy. All of them started biting into their


    handkerchiefs.


    "I can''t believe that woman is friends with President Fuller."


    That was the biggest shock of the night. They wouldn''t think much about it if the woman knew Toby


    since he was famous, after all. Everyone knew him. However, they were surprised that he knew that


    woman. They had no idea he knew other women outside of Sonia and Tina. Who is she? How did


    she be friends with President Fuller? And how did she manage to make him talk to her?


    "Where the hell is the waiter? Did he talk to Sonia yet?"


    "Yeah. President Fuller''s already talking to that woman. Where is Sonia? Why isn''t she showing up


    yet?"


    "If it were me, I''d stay with him all the time. I''d have worried about all the other women hitting on him


    if I had left, but she just went around and left him behind. I can''t believe we''re worrying about them,


    dammit."
