Chapter 17
Meanwhile, at the Fuller Residence, Toby frowned as he stared at the topic that was currently trending.
Standing beside him, Tom was trembling. “President Fuller, I didn’t do it. Someone must have leaked it on purpose. Do you need me to get someone to stop it from trending?”
“There’s no need for that.” Toby pursed his lips as indescribable emotions flashed across his eyes. “The Gray Family must be behind this.”
Tom understood what he meant.
The Gray Family must have deliberately leaked the video to suppress Sonia. If President Fuller helped to stop it from trending, the Gray Family would be unhappy. He wouldn’t want to offend his future father-in-law because of Sonia.
“Then, this matter—”
“Don’t worry about it.” Toby turned off his phone, then raised his head and asked, “Has the Ocean’s Heart arrived?”
Tom nodded. “It arrived yesterday. As per your order, Miss Gray’s name is engraved on it.”
“Okay. You can leave now.”
Toby lowered his head and massaged his temples, then his eyes skimmed over the red divorce certificate in the trash can, and his head began to hurt even more.
Triforce Enterprise had a good reputation in Seafield. The Gray Family mostly invited upper-class people to the banquet they held for their daughter, so it was only natural that there were opportunities to curry favor with the rich and powerful as well as get to know their daughters.
Titus and his wife wandered through the crowd with smiles on their faces.
He was a refined middle-aged man with a beard, while his wife exuded a chilly demeanor, much like the typical lady of a rich family.
The sound of a piano being played slowly rang out.
The crowd looked over and saw that Tina looked fresh and refined in a green dress, and she was sitting elegantly and calmly while playing the piano. Her body seemed to be glowing, attracting everyone’s attention.
After the song was finished, Toby walked over from the crowd and took Tina’s hand. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they looked like a
golden couple.
Titus smiled and said, “Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend our banquet. In addition to celebrating Tina’s recovery, another major announcement will be made today.”
He swept his gaze over the crowd before it finally landed on Toby. “I’d like to announce that Toby Fuller, the president of the Fuller Group, is going to be my son-in-law.”
As soon as he finished, there was an uproar from the crowd.
Everyone was aware of Toby’s divorce, because the news had spread like wildfire. Now that he was revealed to be the future son-in-law of the Gray family, the crowd recalled the video that was yesterday’s trending topic.
They couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
To be well matched in social status was truly important for a couple.
Toby appeared handsome and brilliant, looking like a perfect and beautiful match with Tina, who was similarly gentle and elegant.
He took out a golden brocade box, opened it, then got down on one knee in front of Tina.
His actions spoke for itself.
Surprised, Tina covered her mouth in disbelief.
At this moment, the man said, “Tina, will you—” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Suddenly, an untimely laugh interrupted Toby.
“I’m sorry I’m late, everyone.”
That voice...
As complex emotions flashed across his eyes, Toby twisted his head to take a look.
All dressed up to look charming and enchanting, Sonia appeared, followed by Charles and Carl.
Everyone was surprised to see her, because all of the people present knew that she was Toby’s ex- wife.
The fact that she’s showing up at this very moment...
Seeing that her son’s happy moment was being interrupted, Jean suddenly stepped forth and pointed at Sonia before snapping, “Who let you in? Get out!”
Charles folded his arms across his chest. “We’ve come to attend Miss Gray’s banquet.”
“You-”
Titus stopped Jean from saying anything more, then looked at Sonia.
He was a wily old bird, so naturally, he wouldn’t be impulsive, but his smile had considerably faded. “Although I didn’t send you an invitation, you’re still a guest, so the Gray Family welcomes you.
“She’s the one who caused my daughter’s car accident?”
The moment Julia laid eyes on Sonia, she experienced a strange feeling, but she couldn’t pinpoint what felt strange.
Then, she remembered that this person almost killed Tina.
Julia’s face hardened, and she disposed of all courtesy. “Miss Reed, I've not settled the score from six years ago with you, so how dare you show up at my house!”
