Chapter 39


    Sonia was already in a bad mood, but she


    had never expected that Carl would send


    her a gift even though he was in Palmont.


    Receiving the present had relieved her of


    her negative emotions.


    After she replied to his message, she wore


    the ring on her ring finger to cover the marks of her previous wedding ring.


    When Toby saw Sonia’s cheerful smile, the


    expression in his eyes immediately sank.


    Cynthia had never expected someone to present Sonia with such an expensive gift, which made her


    annoyed and jealous. She


    suddenly remembered something and


    intentionally asked in a loud volce, “Miss Reed, didn’t you say that your boyfriend is Charles7 You also


    used his name to enter this club. On the other hand, Mr. Lee is the male model who was involved in


    some rumors with you, right? I bet you guys are more than just friends for him to send you such an


    expensive gift.” She snorted coldly before she added, “I even heard rumors that you might have another


    man, which is


    why you wanted to divorce President


    Fuller. I didn’t believe it at first, but now it


    seems like the rumors are true!”


    Sonia merely gave a coldugh. As for the


    reasons for wanting a divorce from Toby


    even if others don‘t know it, I bet he knows.


    She looked at Toby with the expectation


    that he would rify things for her, but he


    merely sat there with Tina in his arms and a cold look in his eyes without moving. Well, didn’t see


    everything earlier? What aml expecting?


    When the tattoo on Sonia’s waist waspletely removed, the slight fire within her waspletely


    extinguished.


    “Miss Reed, say something!” Cynthia continued to force her. “Does Charles


    know about Mr. Lee’s present? Does he


    know that you are cheating on him?”


    “It’s a beautiful room, but why is there a


    sparrow here?” At this moment, Charles’ voice rang in the room. Right after he


    asked that question, he walked into the


    room with a ck shirt and a disdainful


    expression on his face. “This sparrow is


    noisy and annoying. I wish I could cut her tongue and make her shut the hell up.”


    His vicious words had stunned Cynthia’s tongue into silence as she subconsciously staggered backward


    by a few steps.


    As Charles stood right in front of her and appraised her from head to toe, he clucked his tongue. “Why


    are you retreating? Are you scared? Do you think you’re that


    Sparrow?”


    “N-No,” she stammered.


    “I think you are. You sound like the


    sparrow I’m talking about.” With that, he


    pulled her hair and mmed her head int


    the table where they had yed poker earlier. Then, he asked casually, “Who’s


    free to pass me a knile?”


    Reba immediately snatched the knife from the fruit tter and passed it to Charles while she cared to


    comment, “This knife is extremely sharp. Be careful not to hurt yourself.”


    Cynthia’s legs trembled and she immediately burst into tears. “T-Tina… Melody…”


    However, the entire room fell into extreme


    silence as no one actually spoke up for


    her. Tina had grabbed Toby’s sleeves and


    wanted to stand up in anger. However, he


    pressed her down and signaled for her to


    sit down.


    He wanted to see how far Charles was


    willing to go to take revenge for Sonia


    “Why? Have you all be mute?” Charles looked around his surroundings and was rather surprised to


    see even Tina and Toby there. With a cold snort, he turned around to look at Reba, who had passed


    him the knife. “Tell me, did they bully my baby just now?”


    “It’s not just bullying!” She immediately


    rushed over and spilled the beans.


    Upon listening to Reba’s exnation,


    Charles shot a nce at Toby and snorted


    coldly for the second time. Then, he


    pushed Cynthia aside before he advised


    Sonia, “Why don’t you head to our room


    first? Once I’ve sorted out the matters


    here, I’ll head over.”


    “It’s okay. Let’s go.” Sonia grabbed Charles” arm as she didn’t want him to have a grudge with the


    Stryder Family because of her. “Celebrating your birthday is more


    important.”


    However, her movement was reflected in


    Toby’s eyes, which made his gaze even


    deeper.


    “That won’t do. You are being bullied here. As your childhood friend, I can’t simply


    stand aside and watch.” Charles waved at


    Reba to ask her to bring Sonia away.


    Til just teach them a lesson. I won’t hurt


    them.”


    “Let’s go, President Reed, Charles will


    know what to do.” With that she yanked


    Sonia out of the room.


    He quickly walked to the poker table and found a ce to sit down. “Let’s y a few more rounds. You


    can choose three people whom you like to y the game with.”


    Then, he lowered his head and took a puff from his cigarette before he casually added, “If any of you


    wins, I will give you 10 million. On top of that, I will kneel


    before you and address you as ‘my lord’. If


    I win against you all, you just have to remove your clothes and leave the room in that manner.”


    Compared to Charles’ bet, it was nothing


    for them to remove their clothes. His proposition had caused the rest of the


    women in the room to be slightly moved.


    we win, we would get 10 million!


    After being annoyed by his arrogant attitude, Melody walked over inrge strides after gritting her teeth.


    Then, she pulled the chair to his right and sat down as sheughed coldly. “Charles, I’ll be waiting for you


    to call me your lord!”


    Charles yfully leaned against his chair.


    “Sure. Who else is in? Let’s start soon.


    After that, I’m heading over to apany


    my baby.”


    After all, she was there. If she did not say


    anything, the rest did not dare to make a move even though they wanted to join.


    Melody chose a few other women who


    were good at poker before she looked at


    Tina.


    Even though Melody had said nothing, Tina understood her implicit words


    *Toby Mr. Lane is going overboard. Why don’t you help us out?” Tina asked softly She knew that Toby


    was good at poker and that Charles might not be able to win


    against him.


    However, Toby merely sat there without


    moving. He then responded in a low voice, “I still have some emails to settle. You can go ahead to y


    with him.”


    She did not expect that he would reject


    her. Even though her body froze in that


    instant, she quickly smiled. “Alright. Wait


    for me for a while more then.”


    Charles did not feel pressured when he


    yed poker with the three other women.


    He had yed the came aggressively and


    ruthlessly


    Hefore they wrapped up thest round, he impatiently knocked on the table. “Are you quys idiots? You


    are so slow at ying the game. Could you be faster?”


    His words made their faces blush red in


    anger.


    Tina had made a self promation that her skills in poker were excellent. She thought that with the three


    of them against


    Charles, one of them would at least win.


    Unexpectedly, no matter what she yed,


    he had followed suit and was alming at


    her.


    Before they could even finish the game, Tina had already taken most of her clothes


    with only her strappy white camisole


    remaining


    “I win!” He revealed his cards again.


    Tina secretly gritted her teeth. She could


    tell that he was aiming at her to avenge

    Sonia.


    After Charles flicked away the ashes from his cigarette, he prompted her, “What are you waiting for, Miss


    Gray? Take your clothes off!”
