Chapter 1048
Facing against Tom, Toby turned around to find him standing outside the door with a tense expression
on his face.
Toby knew his assistant well; with an expression like this, he was sure something was wrong and it
could not be minor.
"I''m sorry, Harry. Please excuse me," Toby apologized to Harry, who sat across from him.
Knowing what he was about to say, Harry picked up the teacup and smiled. "It''s fine. You can take care
of your business first. I don''t mind waiting for you; I''m not in a hurry."

"All right, then. Please wait a moment, Harry." Toby nodded and waved to Tom outside the door.
Tom walked over after noticing Toby''s gesture. "President Fuller."
"What''s the matter?" Toby asked, his gaze fixed on Tom.
Tom did not respond immediately, instead, he cast a nce at Harry, who was drinking tea across from
Toby.
"Harry is not an outsider, so it doesn''t matter," Toby assured when he saw this.
"Okay." After hearing Toby''s words, Tom was naturally relieved. He nodded and turned to Toby.
"President Fuller, something happened to Miss Reed."
"What exactly happened?" Toby''s expression changed and his tone became tense.
Tom''s lips parted and was about to respond when Harry, who was drinking tea, abruptly put down his
cup and asked, "Is Miss Reed the woman you got back together with after your divorce?"
"Yes." Toby gave a small nod.
"Speaking of which, I haven''t seen her in a long time," Harry said as he touched the teacup, his smile
widening.
Toby did not notice anything wrong with Harry''s expression; he simply assumed he was intrigued by
Sonia. As a result, he replied, "You will also attend the banquet in the mall soon. By then, I''ll introduce
you to each other."
"There''s no need to rush." Harry raised his hand, clearly indicating that he was not too keen to meet
Sonia.
To put it bluntly, he was not fond of her.
"Harry, you seem to have some opinions about her, don''t you?" Toby''s shallow smile faded gradually.
For a brief moment, Harry was taken aback because he had not expected to be exposed.
Am I being too obvious?
Though stunned, Harry was not embarrassed when Toby was aware of his dislike toward Sonia.
Instead, his expression remained as calm as it had always been before he admitted it openly and
graciously.
"I actually do," Harry replied, nodding.
His words made Toby frown.
Tom, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. The old man just straight up stated that he dislikes Miss
Reed. He really doesn''t hold back his words from President Fuller, does he?
After all, no one can ept the person they like being disliked by others.
Even if Harry has reservations toward Miss Reed, he should remain silent. Why does he have to air his
dirtyundry?
Point is, he is in President Fuller''s office right now. How ironic.
"Harry, may I ask what the reason is?" Toby asked in a low voice with his thin lips pursed.
Harry maintained a friendly smile on his face as if he could not understand Toby''s discontent. "It''s a
simple reason, really. She''s just not good enough for you," he exined.
Even Tom''s lips twitched when he heard Harry''s words, let alone Toby''s reaction.
Not good enough?
He sure is witty!
No one else''s opinions matter as long as President Fuller likes Miss Reed. Not Old Mrs. Fuller has said
such a bizarre thing. She even adores Miss Reed!
As a result, Miss Reed was approved and weed into the Fuller Family wholeheartedly.
Isn''t it ironic for an outsider to say something like that?
"I''m sorry, Harry, but I must disagree with you. I believe she is the best match for me." Toby sat back,
his face darkening.
This time, Harry could not pretend that he had not noticed Toby''s displeasure in his tone.
After all, Harry''s continued pretense would be seen as deliberate seeing that Toby had made his stance
clear.
"Am I not speaking the truth, Toby?" Looking at Toby, Harry inquired.
Speechless, Toby''s face gave nothing away.
Harry clenched his fist around the teacup as his first impression of Sonia worsened.
His students, in his opinion, had always had the highest regard for him and they almost never
disagreed with him.
After being with Sonia now, Toby had a series of disagreements with him.
She was clearly the one who had brought bad influence to his student.
At that point, Harry''s face had lost its friendly expression before it turned gloomy and serious.
"Toby, don''t you understand? You are the head of the Fullers and she is just a daughter from a fallen
wealthy family. She is an adopted child unknown even to her biological parents. She has no
outstanding family background and ability. How can such a woman be worthy of you? She can''t even
assist you in any aspects. Don''t forget that your father was ridiculed for marrying a woman like her as
well. Do you want to follow his footsteps?" questioned Harry.
He was thoroughly upset because Toby had not turned out as he had hoped.
"Harry, I''m with Sonia not because of her family background but my genuine feelings for her. I love her,
so I want to be with her. Although she''s just a girl from an ordinary family, as long as I like her, she''s
worthy of me. Furthermore, the Fuller Group is strong enough; an arranged marriage is no longer
required, so I don''t need a wife with an outstanding family background and strong ability to help me
strengthen mypany. I''m strong enough to keep the Fuller Group prosperous, so my wife can
simply be who she is. I don''t need my wife to work her life away just to support me. She can simply
bask in all the glory and riches under my protection," Toby rebuked with a deep frown.
He paused for a while as his eyes narrowed slightly before adding, "As for my dad, I believe you''re
cracking a joke here. It''s true that my father was mocked a lot, but that was because he had just
inherited the Fuller Group and wasn''t strong enough then. He had not established his own business
authority, but I am different here. I inherited the Fuller Group at a young age and brought it to its current
position of strength and prosperity. I''m also a well-known and respected business figure, so no one
dares to mock me or my wife. Trust me when I say I''ll skin them if they do so!" His demeanor was icy
and threatening, especially when delivering thest sentence.
Even if Harry did not think Toby was warning him, he could not help but be intimidated at this point as
his face turned pale for a moment.
However, the experienced old man quickly regained hisposure and sighed. "You truly are in love
with her, huh? I see you''ve poured your heart out for her." He pointed at Toby.
"I love her, so I must give her my heart. Otherwise, what''s love?" Toby pursed his lips.
"You..." In rage. Harry choked on his words.
Tom, who was standing next to Toby, lowered his head slightly while resisting the urge tough.
Oh... Fuller. I never expected any less from you. With just a few words, you''ve managed to enrage this
old man. Ha!
