Chapter 20

“Miss Reed, don’t go too far.” Tina was frustrated, but she had to endure it. “My father already apologized to you about the video. Why are you still reluctant to give up? You even want to Snatch the marriage proposal necklace
my boyfriend gave me?”
Sonia raised an eyebrow and laughed.
“You got together with President Fuller
a few days after I divorced him. I
wonder if you’d been coveting him
because you couldn’t wait to be Mrs.
Fuller!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?
You’re obviously the one-”
“And Miss Gray, I have no intentions of
Toby’s gaze darkened.
After a moment of silence, he handed
the jewelry box containing the Ocean’s
Heart to Sonia.
Tina panicked when she saw this, and she pulled on his sleeve. “Toby, this is
the necklace you proposed to me with.
Don’t=”
“Your father specially organized
today’s banquet to celebrate your
recovery and discharge. It won’t be good to ruin the atmosphere.” Toby calmed her down. “It’s just a necklace. After this, I’ll ask Tom to find a better
one and propose to you with that.”
When the guests heard this, they all
snatching anything from you,” Sonia interrupted before Tina could say much. “You’re the one who wants to give me a thank-you gift. I only have eyes for the Ocean’s Heart.”
Tina was rendered speechless. Biting her lips, she stood there as her face grew increasingly pale, like a white flower about to wither.
As he watched on, Charles felt
particularly good, and he almost
applauded Sonia.
“President Fuller, you have to say
something. Don’t be silent,” Charles
called out. “Is it possible that you’re not a man of vour word?”
became envious. “You’re so blessed, Miss Gray. No matter how rare the piece of jewelry is, President Fuller would have a way to buy it for you!”
After complimenting Tina, they satirized Sonia once more.
Tina’s expression improved when Toby said this, and she nodded obediently. “I’ll listen to you.”
As Sonia listened to their conversation,
all she felt was the irony of the
situation.
She had been married to Tony for six
years. Forget jewelry; he had never
even bought her a piece of clothing.
Even their wedding ring was bought by
her.
Now, looking at how he was treating Tina, Sonia felt like her life was a joke.
Sonia suppressed the sadness in her
heart and accepted the jewelry box with a bright smile on her face. “This is
such a rare piece of jewelry, yet you’re

giving it to me just like that. President
Fuller, it seems like you love Miss Gray
so much that you can’t bear to let her
suffer any grievances at all.”
The woman spoke so enigmatically
that it made Toby uncomfortable, so
he replied lightly, “I’ve given you the
Ocean’s Heart, and President Gray has
apologized to you, Sonia, don’t pursue the matter of the video anymore.”
“Okay!” Sonia readily agreed.
She picked up a glass of red wine from the table, then tipped it toward Toby. “President Fuller, Miss Gray, may you live a long and happy life together, and I hope you have plenty of babies.”
With that, she cocked her head back
and drank the wine. After setting down
the glass, she turned and left.
“President Fuller, I have to thank you
too.” Charles grinned, “If it weren’t for
your indifference, my baby wouldn’t
have come to her senses. Thank you
for being so kind as to let my baby go.
She deserves the best.”
Charles picked up the butterfly handbag on the table, which Sonia forgot to take, then said warmly, “Let’s
“Let’s go!” Charles held Carl’s
shoulders and they left together, all the
while complaining, “The air here is too
filthy. I’d feel sick if I stayed here for
one more second!”
As Toby watched them leave, his
brows furrowed, and there was an
indescribable feeling of irritability in his
heart that wouldn’t go away.
Sonia was a low-key person; it was a
surprise that she had such an
outstanding suitor.
As soon as Sonia got into the car, she closed her eyes and rested for less than a minute before Charles and Carl
got in.
“Baby, you did a great job just now. Tsk.
did you see the look on Tina’s face?
She looked like she wanted nothing
more than to eat you up.” Charles got
into the driver’s seat, fastened his seat
belt, and burst out laughing. “It felt so
good watching you that I wanted to
applaud you!”
Carl entered the back seat and handed the butterfly handbag to Sonia. “You left it on the table and forgot to take it.”
“I left in a rush and didn’t notice” Sonia spoke as she retrieved her handbag.
Carl glanced at the jewelry box placed
next to the seat, then asked Sonia,
“Sonia, do you… still care about Toby?
Did you want the Ocean’s Heart
because you didn’t want to see him
and Tina together?”
Charles was driving as he looked at
Sonia in the rearview mirror, waiting for
her answer.
“We’ve gotten a divorce, so why should
I still care about him?” Sonia smiled. 1 didn’t expect that Tina’s mind would work so fast. She diverted everyone’s attention from the video by trying to give me a thank-you gift.”
As she spoke, she opened the jewelry box and showed it to Carl. “Tve
checked, and the jewelry industry’s
famous ‘k’ is the one who designed the
Ocean’s Heart. The value is estimated
to exceed 100 million. How can I not want such easy money? Don’t you
agree?”
Charles snorted. “A necklace worth
100 million? Baby, you’re awesome.
You took a huge chunk out of Toby!”
“Of course I know that I’m awesome.” Sonia hummed, then covered the jewelry box and threw it to him. “Find a good channel and sell it for me. 100 million, Keep the extra money as my payment to you for your hard work.”
“Okay!”
When Carl saw Sonia’s capricious
expression, his brows eased, because
it didn’t seem like she was lying.
“Sonia, seeing you like this, I’m
relieved.”
“Baby, why don’t I find you another
boyfriend?” Charles smiled, then he
glanced at Sonia in the rearview mirror.
“Tell me about your requests, or you
and I can get together too. After all, my mom quite likes you–
“No way!” Before he could continue, he
was interrupted by Carl.
“Why not?” Charles rolled his eyes, then bragged, “Not only am I handsome, I’m also multi-talented. I grew up with
Sonia, so I’m the best candidate to be
her husband!”
Carl pursed his lips together, and the
