Chapter 40


    “You are going way overboard now, Charles!” Melodymented coldly. “Do you think Tina and the rest


    of us are blind? Of course we can tell that you are directing your vengeance at her! She only has her


    strappy camisole left. What else do you want?”


    Charles merely shrugged with a confused


    expression. “I won. So, she should remove


    her clothes, shouldn’t she? Since when


    have I gone overboard? Well, you can also


    help her out by taking off your clothes!”


    Upon hearing that, she was speechless. As


    the heater was causing the room to be


    extremely warm, she had only worn a


    spaghetti strapped long dress.


    Of course, she would not embarrass herself just to help Tina out.


    We should end things here since it’s already quitete.” Toby walked over to Tina and wrapped his coat


    around her.


    Before Charles could say anything, Toby added indifferently. Til ask my ountant to transfer 30 million


    to you tomorrow morning. The Fuller Group will withdraw its acquisition of Snoway and I will ask my team


    to assist you in acquiring thepany instead.”


    Since Charles had already embarrassed


    Tina and with Toby taking a step back, he


    felt that it was a good opportunity for him


    to stop his taunts. “At the age of ten when


    Sonia yed poker with her father, even he


    lost to her. let alone me.” He extinguished


    his cigarette in the ashtray before he slowly stood up, whеn уоu guys were ying with her earlier,


    although it seemed like you had won, it was just that she did


    not want to y with you.”


    When his shoulders brushed past Toby’s


    body, Charles shot a nce at him and


    Snorted. “It seems like she really doesn’t


    want to be with you anymore. Otherwise,


    even if Tina is ten times better at the game, she will also lose to Sonia.”


    Upon hearing that, Toby recalled Sonia’s


    peaceful expression when she was having


    her tattoo removed. Then, his eyes darkened. So, she actually knows how to


    y poker.


    Meanwhile, Sonia and Heba had just ordered snacks and finished singing a few songs in the private


    room when Charles returned


    Reba quickly walked to him to ask about what had happened. When she


    heard that Tina had stripped to the point of


    being nude, she felt vindictive. “If Toby wasn’t around, she probably would have walked out of the club


    naked tonight!”


    “I know, right?” He let out another snort.


    “An eye for an eye! No matter how she


    bullies my baby, I’ll return the favor a few


    more times!”


    “Thanks.” Sonia smiled and gave Charles a


    toast


    He did not ask why she had allowed the


    rest of them to bully her in the poker room earlier. Instead, he stretched out with his hand and yanked her


    into his embrace as he teased, “We have already slept on the same bed for a long time. Why are you still


    thanking me?”


    “Whoa!” Reba looked at them with . widened eyes. “Is it true?”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “Of course it’s true,”


    “If you destroy my reputation any further, I’m going to p you.” Sonia gave Charles a hard kick before


    she exined to


    Reba, “When we were younger, his


    parents were usually not at home, so he


    always came to my ce for food. He


    even slept there withoutpensating us.


    Don’t you think that he’s taken it quite far?”


    upon heating thai, Reba immediately looked at him in disdain “Ah, I see. It turns out that he is just


    thick skinned.”


    They had joked around without realizing that there was a small voice recorder taped under the table,


    which recorded their entire conversation.


    Charles” friends soon arrived one after


    another, which gave the room loads of


    vigor andughter.


    Sonia did not like a huge crowd. On top of


    that, she was in a bad mood and merely


    sat in the corner while drinking some wine.


    After some time, she saw Charles and his


    friends ying games that involved


    drinking and joined them.


    Even though she lost in those games, she still felt jubnt as she poured a mixture of red and white wine


    into her mouth.


    After a few rounds of doing so, she felt


    quite dizzy.


    “I’m going out to take a breather. You guys. should carry on without me.” As she felt


    that she could no longer continue with the


    games, Sonia informed Charles before she


    walked out of the room.


    She merely wanted to head to the balcony to enjoy the breeze. However, as she had drank too much in


    the room earlier, she felt even more nauseous when the cold wind


    blew at her face.


    Sonia covered her lips and quickly ran to


    the wachronm


    the washroom


    It was after she threw up that she felt much morefortable. She sshed her face with cold water


    before she looked at herself in the mirror. How pathetic and pitiful. I hope this is thest time I


    allow myself to be drunk


    As she walked out of the washroom, she headed to the balcony again. At this moment, a waiter passed


    her by with a tray in his hands


    When he saw that her cheeks were


    reddened and that she still looked drunk,


    he passed her a bottle of water that was


    on his tray. “Miss, you will feel better after


    drinking some water.”


    “Thank you.” Sonia took the bottle from


    him and immediately opened the cap to


    A huge hand then suddenly pinched her bottom before a breathy whispernded in her ears. “Beautiful


    girl, your figure is alluring. What’s your price?”


    “Let me go!” she coldly replied with the intention to crush the person’s hands.


    However, as she had just finished throwing


    up, she did not have much energy left. Apart from that, she was also quite dizzy.


    which made it easier for him to hug her


    and yank her toward the elevator.


    “Don’t worry. I have lots of money. I can


    pay you any amount of money that you


    want,” the man said with a snicker.


    Sonia had no idea why she couldn’t stop


    her body from softening. She bit her tongue in an attempt to wake herself up and she stomped on his


    shoes with her pair of high heels. When he released her in pain, she quickly fled the scene while


    cing her hand on the walls for support.


    However, as soon as she ran outside, the


    man chased after her and pulled her hair in annoyance. “I’ve already told you that I’m going to give you


    some money. Don’t take it for granted”


    At this moment, another hand suddenly


    pinched his wrist hard.


    “Ahhhh!” He let out a loud scream, feeling


    as though his wrist was about to break.


    “Who the hell are you? How dare you touch


    me!”


    Even though the man was cursing, he imunediately fell silent as soon as he met the other person’s cold


    pair of eyes. “P. President Fuller…”


    “My pleasure.” When Toby saw the long strands of hair in the man’s hands, his gaze darkened even


    further. He applied more force and immediately crushed the


    man’s wrist.


    With an indifferent tone, Toby asked, “I


    wonder what business you have with my ex-wife, President Mills.”


    President Mills did not dare to even grunt.


    Beads of sweat formed on his head as he


    suppressed his urge to yell aloud and


    instead bowed to apologize to Toby. “I’m


    sorry, President Fuller. I didn’t look properly


    as I thought she was one of the employees


    of the club. I didn’t know that she is your


    ex-wife


    Toby released him and called for a waiter. “President Mills is drunk. Arrange for a car to send him back,”


    he ordered.


    Upon seeing that Toby decided to let the matter slide, President Mills heaved a sigh of relief. However, at


    this moment, Toby added, “His eyes are not working well. Arrange an optometrist at the hospital to


    do an eye checkup on him.”


    President Mills was speechless when he


    heard that.


    After President Mills had followed the


    waiter out, Toby shot a nce at Sonia, who was still holding onto the wall for


    support. Her hair was in a mess and she could not even stand straight. It was obvious that she had drunk


    a lot.


    He still remembered what Charles had told


    him earlier.


    Toby walked to Sonia inrge strides and he pulled her arms to lift her up on her feet. “Sonia, what are


    you implying?” He


    was quite strong as he held her weak waist, but his tone was indifferent. “You


    know how to y poker, yet you deliberately lost the game?”


    “It’s none of your business!” she answered


    sarcastically. She wanted to shove his


    hands away, but she was so dizzy that she


    almostnded in his embrace.


    She managed to force herself to stand


    straight. When she raised her head, she


    almostnded in his emue


    She managed to force herself to stand straight. When she raised her head, she saw a blurred face with a


    pair of deep, profound eyes that looked at her fixedly.


    “None of my business? Is that what you just said, Sonia?”
