count with one hand the number of times we conversed every day. All you see is Miss Gray, and no one
else.”
She used to go to the hospital daily to take care of Tina, She knew how her
marriage to Toby came about, and she
knew who Toby truly wanted, so she wanted to use the excuse of looking after Tina to make him see
more of
her.
Nevertheless, for the past six years, all
she got from Toby was indifference.
Hearing this, Toby re-examined the red
lipped Sonia, who was dressed in a
ck dress and exuding a slightly cold
demeanor. He found that this version
As soon as Charles spoke, the sound of the guests taking in sharp breaths could be heard. Everyone
was shocked as their gaze fell on Tina, then Sonia.
The expert has confirmed that the video
is real, so if Charles is telling the truth.
Toby was caught by surprise as well.
He looked at the woman standing in
front of him, then his eyes darkened,

and he asked, “Sonia, why didn’t you
tell me?”
“Would you have believed me if I told
you?” Sonia retorted in a slightly
sarcastic tone. “President Fuller, we
were married for six years, yet I can
of her and the virtuous woman who
used to wait for him toe home
seemed like two different people.
He then remembered that before the
two of them got divorced, he and Sonia rarely talked. He never asked about her day or about her friends.
It seems like I never really got to know
her.
The two of them only exchanged a
couple of remarks, then Toby said
nothing else. Beside him, Tina was
keenly aware that the man’s heart had softened, and he seemed to want to defend Sonia.
Tina quickly swept her gaze across the
of me for the past few years. This is a gift my father gave mest time. Now, I’m giving it to you as a
thank-you gift.”
When the jewelry box was opened, a
crown embedded with diamonds on the ck velvet shimmered under the
light.
“H-Isn’t this the crown Princess Lilith
wore during her wedding?”
“President Gray really spoils his
daughter!”
Among the guests, those who were fond of jewelry recognized the crown,
and they all eximed that although it was iparable to the Ocean’s
quesis, then she fiercely gritted her teeth and took a step forward before
bowing to Sonia
“Miss Reed, I didn’t expect that all
these years, you’d been constantly going to the hospital to donate blood to me. You’ve been so kind to
me…”
Tina choked, her eyes gradually turning
red as she bowed to Sonia once more.
“I’m sorry…”
When she looked up, she cast a
meaningful nce at the crowd, then
continued apologizing to Sonia. “I’m
sorry about the video. My father loves
me too much, and a mistake was made
during the investigation that caused us
to think that you were the one who
crashed into me.”
“Miss Gray, you don’t have to be so
courteous. I’m two months younger than you.” Sonia didn’t appreciate her apology, and she even calmly
shot Toby a look
It turned out that Tina’s father was the
one who leaked the video. At first,
Sonia thought Toby was the one
brutally attacking her.
Tina lowered her head and pursed her
pale red lips.
In no time, Tina saw the jewelry box
the servant brought over. After
retrieving it, she handed it to Sonia.
“Miss Reed, thank you for taking care
Heart, it was extremely luxurious, and theymented how much Titus loved his daughter.
When Titus saw the crown, his
expression changed,
But, he knew why his daughter was
giving this piece of jewelry to Sonia. Stepping forward with a cold expression, he said to Sonia in a
considerably pleasant tone, “Regarding
the video, I’d wrongly used you,
Miss Reed. Thank you for taking care
of my daughter. Please ept this piece of jewelry!”
Sonia stood with her legs slightly
parted, and she took one sweeping
nce at the crown full of diamonds,
but she showed no intention of taking
it from Tina’s hands,
Seeing that she wasn’t epting it,
Tina stated, “When Princess Lilith got
married, she asked a designer from Van Cleef & Arpels to design it. Many
years ago, my father got it at the
Sotheby’s auction house for 60
million.”
As she continued, her voice dropped. “This is also my favorite piece of jewelry. I really want to thank you,
Miss Reed. That’s why I’m giving it to you.”
The guests could hear how bad Tina felt, and they could see that Sonia
Sonia was the one in the wrong,
causing Toby to frown when he heard
them.
“Toby.” Tina looked back at Toby and whispered. “I really didn’t know about Miss Reed donating blood to
me at the
hospital. Believe me. Help me persuade Miss Reed and get her to ept my thank-you gift.”
Looking at her frail frame and pale lips,
Toby felt mildly distressed.
“Sonia, both Tina and Mr. Gray have
apologized to you,” Toby said in his
deep voice. “The thank-you gift that
Tina is giving you is worth a lot, so just
take it *
wasn’t epting the jewelry. Her posture was arrogant, as if she was
Waging a war
“Sonia, don’t be unreasonable. Miss Gray has already apologized.”
“That’s right. Mr. Gray was just eager to
protect his daughter, which was why he
made such a careless mistake. And
hasn’t he apologized to you?”
“Miss Gray is giving you her precious
jewelry as a thank-you gift, yet you’re
not epting it. What else do you
want?”
When the guests spoke, their remarks
were harsher than the next. It was as if
take it.”
Sonia knew that no matter how innocent she was, Toby would still stand by Tina’s side.
But, when she heard him say that, her hand around her arm tightened fiercely. and her heart was in such
immense pain that it felt like it was being pierced
by needles.
It was simply ridiculous that she loved
a man like him for eight years!
When Charles, who was watching the
scene unfold from the sidelines, saw
that Toby was bullying Sonia, he
became furious and wanted to rush
toward him. “Toby, you f*cking”
After passing his gaze over her bright face, he asked in a deep voice, “What else do you want?”
“I want the thing in your hand-the
Ocean’s Heart.” Sonia pointed to the
jewelry box he was holding in his hand,
lookingpletely serious.
“No,” Tina interrupted Sonia. In a
dejected and aggrieved manner, she
said, “Miss Reed, I know you’re upset
with me because of the video. You can
have the jewelry in my collection, but
not the Ocean’s Heart. This is the
ne Toby proposed to me with…”
The guests were angry and dissatisfied as well. “That’s right! Sonia, you’re
“Charles.” Sonia stretched out her hand
to stop him.
After spending the entire night out, she
was a little tired. Just as she was
about to tell Charles that they should
leave, she caught sight of the smug smile on Tina’s face from the corner of
her eye.
That‘s right. I‘m here today to get
revenge, not to save them from
humiliation
After swallowing her words, Sonia pressed Charles’s hand, and her eyes
grew slightly cold. “T’ll handle this.”
In her high heels, she turned around to
face Tina
Caught off guard by Sonia’s actions, Tina put away the smile on her face in
a panic, then she handed over the
jewelry box again.
“Miss Gray, for the past few years, I’d
been going to the hospital to donate
blood to you, so my body is very weak
now,” Sonia said while brushing her
fingers over the crown full of diamonds. “Thanking me with this crown isn’t really enough, is it?”
Sonia looked toward Toby, then asked with a smile, “President Fuller, what do you think?”
crossing a line, Miss Gray is giving you such an expensive crown, yet you still want the Ocean’s Heart
“Are you dissatisfied because
President Fuller divorced you, so you’re deliberately retaliating against him?”
Turning a deaf ear to the insults they were throwing at her, Sonia looked at Toby. “President Fuller, don’t
you love Miss Gray very much? Miss Gray, you‘re the one who wants to thank me, so why are you
refusing to give me the thank-you gift?”
