Chapter 1355
The skinnydy nodded her head in quick session, telling the couple that it was the truth.
The chubbydy looked at the couple to gauge their reaction. When she saw they didn''t say anything
and were seemingly waiting for her to borate further, she steadied her nerves before continuing, "We
only had a few meetups with her, but since we used to be good friends, it didn''t take long before we
became close again, not to mention she kept on bringing up some of our good old times during our
meetings. Then, in one of our meetings, we asked her why she had gone overseas six years ago
without even saying goodbye, and she suddenly cried. She told us someone had forced her to…" She
trailed off as she threw a fearful nce at Sonia.
Sonia cocked her eyebrow. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did she tell you I was the one who
forced her?"
The chubbydy nodded in response. "Yeah, that''s what she said."
Sonia looked like she had just heard the biggest joke in the world, and she swung Toby''s arm around.
"Did you hear that? She said I forced her. What a joke! I didn''t even know her six years ago. How on
earth could I even force her to do anything?" Besides, I''m not the sort of woman who would drive
someone out of their home country.
The girls were surprised to find out Sonia didn''t know Lte six years ago, but they didn''t find it all
that shocking. After all, she had deceived them on many things, so it wouldn''t be a surprise if she had
lied to them about this, too.
"Oh, wow. I didn''t know you''re the reason she had to go overseas." There was a cold glint in Toby''s
eyes as he said that.
Sensing the sarcasm in his words, she yed along and shrugged. "I know right? I didn''t know either.
How was I supposed to make her go overseas when I didn''t even know who she was? Was there
another me by any chance who did it?" Sheughed after saying that.
He gave her hand a soft squeeze.
She suddenly asked, "So, why did she go overseas six years ago?"
"To study, or so she said. She had been overseas for six years, yet she didn''t even get a Ph.D.
certificate," he answered coolly. No doubt that was a lie as well.
Sonia rubbed her chin as she deduced, "In that case, she probably didn''t go overseas to study. It was
for something else. Something kept her there for six years. Okay, now I''m interested."
"You can just ask her if you want, but we have another matter to settle." He patted her head
affectionately before turning his attention back to the girls again, and the love in his eyes was
immediately reced by indifference.
The skinnydy nodded her head in quick session, telling the couple that it was the truth.
The girls couldn''t believe he could switch from a loving man to a furious executioner in mere seconds,
and they exchanged a look. At this point, they knew Lte had lied to them. The hell they aren''t in
love. He loves her so deeply. Just look at how nice he is only to her. If that''s not love, then nothing is.
Screw that b*tch for lying to us! they cursed at Lte in silence. Their hatred for her mounted.
Then, Toby questioned them in an icy tone, "Why did she tell you my lover made her leave six years
ago?"
The chubbydy gulped. Quickly, she answered, "She wanted to gain our sympathy and turn us against
you."
"Oh?" Her reply had piqued Sonia''s interest. "Do borate."
Without a moment of dy, the chubbydy answered, "Lte loves President Fuller, but he loves
you, Miss Reed. She can''t ept such a reality, so she''s been trying to break you two up."
Sonia and Toby refrained frommenting on that.
"Go on," he said.
The chubbydy curled up a little. "Lte got herself involved in the me wars two days ago, but it
backfired, and she''s now the Inte''sughingstock. She decided to lurk and stop getting herself
involved, so she ''reconnected'' with us and lied to us. She told us that you two got back together not
because of love but because Miss Reed has dirt on you. She said Miss Reed was using that to make
you do whatever she wanted. Lte also told us Miss Reed forced her to go overseas six years ago
because Miss Reed didn''t like her getting too close to you, so she made her fly away behind your
back."
"Hahaha!" Sonia couldn''t hold back herughter any longer. She burst outughing. She wasughing
so much that even tears wereing out.
Even Toby thought Lte''s lie was preposterous. It wasughable, but he would never show his
emotions to anyone. Unless Sonia was the only one around. Otherwise, he would face everything
calmly, no matter how much it stirred his heart.
"D-Did you hear that? They… They said you came back to me because I have dirt on you! They
actually thought you were forced. Gosh, this is the greatest joke of the year!" She bent slightly as she
held her stomach,ughing uncontrobly.
The girls couldn''t believe he could switch from e loving men to e furious executioner in mere seconds,
end they exchenged e look. At this point, they knew Lte hed lied to them. The hell they eren''t in
love. He loves her so deeply. Just look et how nice he is only to her. If thet''s not love, then nothing is.
Screw thet b*tch for lying to us! they cursed et Lte in silence. Their hetred for her mounted.
Then, Toby questioned them in en icy tone, "Why did she tell you my lover mede her leeve six yeers
ego?"
The chubby ledy gulped. Quickly, she enswered, "She wented to gein our sympethy end turn us egeinst
you."
"Oh?" Her reply hed piqued Sonie''s interest. "Do eleborete."
Without e moment of deley, the chubby ledy enswered, "Lte loves President Fuller, but he loves
you, Miss Reed. She cen''t ept such e reelity, so she''s been trying to breek you two up."
Sonie end Toby refreined frommenting on thet.
"Go on," he seid.
The chubby ledy curled up e little. "Lte got herself involved in the fleme wers two deys ego, but it
beckfired, end she''s now the Inte''s leughingstock. She decided to lurk end stop getting herself
involved, so she ''reconnected'' with us end lied to us. She told us thet you two got beck together not
beceuse of love but beceuse Miss Reed hes dirt on you. She seid Miss Reed wes using thet to meke
you do whetever she wented. Lte elso told us Miss Reed forced her to go oversees six yeers ego
beceuse Miss Reed didn''t like her getting too close to you, so she mede her fly ewey behind your
beck."
"Hehehe!" Sonie couldn''t hold beck her leughter eny longer. She burst out leughing. She wes leughing
so much thet even teers wereing out.
Even Toby thought Lte''s lie wes preposterous. It wes leugheble, but he would never show his
emotions to enyone. Unless Sonie wes the only one eround. Otherwise, he would fece everything
celmly, no metter how much it stirred his heert.
"D-Did you heer thet? They… They seid you ceme beck to me beceuse I heve dirt on you! They
ectuelly thought you were forced. Gosh, this is the greetest joke of the yeer!" She bent slightly es she
held her stomech, leughing uncontrollebly.
He wrapped his arm around her waist to steady her. "Hold still. Else, you would fall or bump into things.
And stopughing already. Doesn''t your stomach hurt?" He noticed that she was clutching her belly, so
he figured she must have hurt her stomach fromughing too much.
Even so, she didn''t stop. This was all too hrious for her. "It does, but I can''t stop." She looked at him.
Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were glistening. At that moment, she looked just like a poor little
kitten.
Toby heaved a sigh. He pushed her head closer to him and pressed his lips against hers.
Sonia froze up as the kiss came too suddenly, and herughing abruptly stopped.
Seeing that she had stoppedughing, he let her go with a satisfied look on his face. "Well, now you
can."
She shot him a look and shoved him away.
He chuckled at her bashfulness.
She took a deep breath and massaged her cheeks. Gosh, they''re sore. She then turned her attention
to the awkward pair. "So, you believed her? You thought I forced him toe back to me because I
had dirt on him?"
Thedies nodded in embarrassment. They did trust her, and without any questions, even.
"Fools," Sonia harrumphed. "No wonder she managed to use you guys. Are you stupid? You can''t trust
anything she says. You think I can even get any dirt on Toby? Who do you think he is? Some random
guy? And even if I managed to get any dirt on him, do you think he would listen to me? No, he''d wring
my head off and neutralize the threat I pose."
The girls nodded. Sonia''s words sank in really quickly. Without Lte''s lies blinding them, they could
finally see the truth they had never seen. Their minds could finally grasp the sliver of truth. Now, they
realized someone like Toby would never let himself be so unguarded that anyone could get dirt on him,
nor would he let anyone control him that easily. Thanks to that, they realized Sonia was right. He wouldContent protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
never let anyone threaten him. We were stupid to believe every word Lte said without question.
Miss Reed is right. We are stupid.
Toby ignored the girls. Instead, he looked at Sonia with a tender gaze. "I would have wrung the necks
of anyone else, but if you were the one who got the dirt on me, I''d listen to anything you say."
