Chapter 705
Chapter 705 Changing the Public’s Opinion
While Sonia was working on uploading her post, Toby got to work as well. He pulled his phone out and
logged onto his social media ounts before typing a few sentences and posting it online. He was a
well-known businessman, so he had arge following. His followers ranged from regr citizens to other
wealthy entrepreneurs. The moment he made a post, there were a lot of people who received
notifications on their phones. These people were shocked as Toby was a man who barely used social
media. How could one not be surprised when he suddenly updated his status?
Toby’s followers hastily tapped on their notifications to check his post, and they all gasped in
astonishment when they saw what he wrote. ‘I’m writing to ask everyone to stop tagging me. I also hope
that you guys will stop iming that @Sonia doesn’t match up to my standards or that she’s bad or
maniptive. I’m not as blind as you guys think I am. Being in the position I am, do you guys think I’m
clueless about this matter? It’s a fact that she hasn’t done any of those things that others used her of,
but she’d still be the best woman in the world even if she has done such a thing!’
His status was like a huge rock being flung into a peacefulke—it created huge waves that impacted
everyone on the Inte. ‘Gosh, the big boss actually spoke up! His vegetated ount is finally back in
use! Sonia’s riding on his coattails!’ someonemented.
‘Our big boss, who never uses his social media ounts, is doing it for his ex-wife… No, they’re back
together now, so she’s technically his girlfriend. Why is this so touching? Especially when he said that
she’s the best woman even if she had made some mistakes… Gosh, this is just too sweet! He’s like the
domineering CEO who makes an official announcement for hisdy in TV shows… That exins why
Sonia wants to get back with him. I’d also do it if I were her,’ someone elsemented.
‘Hey, hey, hey! Aren’t you guys getting off topic here? We should be talking about whatever Jessica
used Sonia of! ording to Mr. Fuller’s post, it seems like Jessica is lying. Am I getting this right?’
someone asked.
‘You’re right. Mr. Fuller does seem to be iming that Sonia hasn’t done whatever Jessica used her
of,’ another person replied to the previousment.
‘That’s fun. One ims that she did it, while the other says that she didn’t… Who’s telling the truth?’
‘Personally, I have more faith in Mr. Fuller. The Fuller Group is huge—Mr. Fuller wouldn’t risk being
exposed for saying something that isn’t true just because of his personal favoritism. The public’s opinion
has power over everything, so even an important figure like President Fuller would be impacted if the
public were to go against him. I believe the person in charge of such a hugepany would know better
than to put himself in such a risky position,’ someone stated.
‘I agree!’ someone replied to thement above. ‘I’m on Mr. Fuller’s side too! Jessica, who popped up
out of nowhere, is much less reliable than Mr. Fuller. What Mr. Fuller said is right—it’s impossible for a
man of his status to not know the sort of person Sonia truly is. He must know what she has or has not
done, right? Furthermore, if Sonia had done such a thing in the past, why didn’t Jessica point it out
earlier? Why is she doing it now? There’s clearly an issue here.’
‘I think you guys should pause your discussion temporarily. The other person involved just posted a
status announcing that she’ll be hosting a press conference. Go take a look!’ someonemented. It
only took a short while for Toby’s social media ount to blow up—it wasn’t justizens who were
commenting, but there were also arge number of media and marketing ounts who were reposting
his status to rub off on his fame.
However, it was an undeniable fact that Toby’s post had allowed manyizens to gain some perspective
on the matter. On the other hand, once Sonia made an announcement about her press conference, she
received a pop-up notification with a headline that was bolded by some news site. The headline was too
eye-catching for her to ignore. “Fuller Group’s president updated his social media ount?!” Sonia
couldn’t help but read the headline out in surprise when she saw the bolded words.
“Hmm?” Toby looked up at her when he heard her talking.
“Did you post something?” Sonia lowered her phone as she stared at him.
“Yeah,” he replied.
“What did you post?” Sonia felt her heart racing. Her gut feeling told her that his post was rted to her.
“Why don’t you look at it yourself?” he asked as he chuckled.
Sonia lowered her gaze to search for the post and read it. “You…” She felt tears welling up in her eyes.
The smirk on Toby’s lips deepened. “Are you touched?”
“No.” She bit her lip. She had been touched for a short while when she first saw the post, but Toby ruined
the moment for her by speaking, and she no longer wanted to feel moved by his actions. After all, these
were the sort of feelings that should’ve been experienced in a discreet manner. However, Toby had
exposed her emotions without any hesitation, so she felt too embarrassed to continue feeling touched.
After taking a deep breath and calming down a little, Sonia spoke up once more. “You didn’t have to do
this. You may not be a public figure, but you have more influence than some famous people, so you
should be more careful with the things you put out there. Otherwise, you might cause trouble for Fuller
Group and the Fuller Family. Although your statement seems pretty decent here, I’m afraid there may be
some ill-intentioned individuals who may choose to misunderstand and twist your words. Some may see
you as a person who’s blindly protecting someone who has ws, and that might impact the public’s view
of you,” she exined.
“I know,” he replied with a nod.
“If you knew, then why did you—” Sonia widened her eyes.
“But I don’t care.” Toby held her hand and kissed the back of it. “You may not want me to do anything, but
I feel like it’s my responsibility to take action. I’m your man—I can’t just sit around and do nothing when I
see my woman being attacked by the public. What sort of man would I be if I did such a thing? On top of
that, do you think I care what the rest of the world thinks of me? The only thing I’ve ever cared about is
how you see me.”
It had taken some effort for Sonia to suppress her feelings of gratitude for the man earlier, but all of those
emotions filled her chest once more after she heard his words. “Thank you,” she uttered as she rxed
the muscles around her brows.
“You don’t have to thank me.” Toby stroked her hair. “I believe you’d do the same for me if I were
involved in such a thing, right?”
“Of course!” Sonia nodded. Since they were back together, she would definitely take action if Toby
encountered any issues.
“Exactly. I feel the same way,” Toby said as he pressed his forehead against hers. “So, I don’t want you
to say that you don’t need me to do such things in the future, okay?” His forehead was cold, yet Sonia
felt oddly warm as their heads touched. “Okay.” She beamed as she gave him a firm nod.
“Alright. You should get some rest. Since we’re going to resolve this tomorrow, we shouldn’t think about it
now. You seem rather tired. Go to bed,” Toby uttered as he massaged Sonia’s temples for her.
She half-closed her eyes in response. “You’re right. I feel pretty drained.”
“Go to bed.” Toby pulled the sheets aside and gestured for her to get into bed. She rubbed her eyes as
shey down in her spot, and he tucked her into bed before he walked around to slip into bed from the
other side. Once hey down, he reached his arm out to wrap it around Sonia’s waist in a practiced
manner.
Then, he gave her a gentle tug to pull her closer to him. This was precisely the way Sonia would pull her
dolls closer to her when shey in bed as a child. The corner of Sonia’s lips twitched as she thought
about this. She didn’t know whether tough or cry at the thought she had, but she didn’t protest or resist
his actions. Instead, shey obediently in his arms without budging at all.
After a short while, she shut her eyes and faded into a deep sleep. Sleep was a contagious thing—Toby
pressed Sonia’s head against his chest before he shut his eyes and drifted to sleep as well. On this end,
the main figure of discussion and the victim of cyberbullying, Sonia, was having sweet dreams as if
everything on the Inte had nothing to do with her.

Meanwhile, the mastermind of this controversy, Jessica, was the one who couldn’t seem to fall asleep.
