Chapter 497 Rose’s Interrogation

“Who’s getting engaged?” Toby wasn’t at Fuller Group today—he had decided to stay home and rest in the penthouse that he was temporarily staying in. He was dressed in a black pajama set and was resting on the couch by the balcony when he received Zane’s call. He had been flipping through a finance magazine, but any calm and peace he felt disappeared once he heard Zane’s words, and he frowned.

Zane responded to Toby while staring at the huge television in front of him. “You, of course. You’re getting engaged to Lily.”

“Why aren’t I aware of my own engagement?” Toby’s sulked, and the air around him seemed to turn a few degrees colder. What’s up with this guy? He isn’t just starting rumors about my engagement; he’s even matching me with that disgusting woman from yesterday. My taste is way better than that!

When Zane heard what Toby said, he paused for a moment before he calmed himself down to speak. “Toby, are you saying that you’re not arranging a marriage with the McRae Family? The engagement is just a false rumor, right?”

“I’ve never said anything about arranging a marriage with the McRaes, so how could I possibly be engaged?” Toby pursed his lips. “Who told you about this engagement?”

“The Internet,” Zane replied. “It’s all over the news. All of the websites are claiming that you and Lily are getting engaged. I called to ask you right after I saw an article. I can’t believe it’s all fake! Sh*t. The media site that started this sure has some guts! How dare they report fake news?” Zane continued rambling about media ethics, and a flash of anger surfaced in Toby’s gaze as he narrowed his eyes.

People are spreading false rumors about my engagement with the McRae Family on the Internet, huh? How did false statements like these get onto the Internet? A steely look formed on Toby’s handsome face as he ended Zane’s call and left the couch to walk to his study. He turned his computer on to search for the news articles related to his engagement.
