Charles stood up to pour Ryan a glass of red wine. “President Drew, you must be joking. After her divorce, she didn’t even receive a single cent from her ex-husband. He’s a miser, so how could he possibly help my baby?”

“You didn’t even receive a single cent?” Ryan stared at her with a slightly shocked look on his face.

“Yeah. That’s not all—she didn’t even get any property or car, so would you be kind enough to give my baby some leeway and sell your business to her?” Charles placed his arms around Sonia’s shoulders as he said that.

Sonia, however, flung his hand aside. “President Drew, ignore all of his nonsense. I was the one who didn’t want anything.”

Ryan took his glass of wine and was just about to say something when he saw a couple walking toward them, hand-in-hand.

“President Drew, it’s a surprise to see you here. Miss Reed and Mr. Lane are here too. This is such a coincidence,” Tina smiled demurely as she greeted them.

Meanwhile, Charles gave a lazy stretch. “It’s unfortunate for us though. I don’t even want to see the two of you.”

Tina’s expression stiffened in response but she quickly regained her composure soon after that. “Mr. Lane, your words are as scathing as usual.”

Charles put both hands behind his head and relaxedly swiveled on his chair. “Well, there’s nothing I can do about it. This is how I am when I’m with people I dislike. Unfortunately, you’re one of them, Miss Gray.”

“How dare—” Tina’s face turned pale upon being angered by his words.

However, Toby took her into his arms and he started to exude a menacing aura.

Sonia noticed his darkened expression and quickly tugged on Charles’ arm. “That’s enough. Stop it. Don’t forget what I mentioned to you earlier.”

However, Charles shrugged in response as he murmured, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”

The sight of the duo whispering to each other was unbearable for Toby. Just then, he let go of Tina and glanced at Ryan. “President Drew, have you considered my proposal for the takeover?”

“I haven’t made up my mind yet.” Ryan pointed at Sonia. “Your ex-wife is interested in my company too. She’s negotiating with me right now and the terms she offered are exactly the same as yours. I had assumed that you were the one who gave her the idea.”

Toby’s eyes flickered for a moment, which went by unnoticed. “No. I am quite intent on the acquisition of your company so there’s no reason for me to give this up just like that.”
