Lowering her eyes, Tina hid the grim look in them and replied in a panicky tone, “I didn’t do that. You’ve misunderstood me, Miss Stryder! I—”

“Say no more!” Melody cut her off coldly and sneered at her. “Mark my words, Tina Gray! We’re no longer friends from now on, and I won’t let you off! Just you wait!” With that, she hung up on her.

As Tina stared at the screen of her cell phone, she pursed her lips, which had turned a little pale.

In fact, she had already seen the news about what happened to the Stryder Family in the morning, and she had also prepared herself that Melody would blame it on her. However, she wasn’t expecting Melody to have such a deep hatred for her and even threatened that she wouldn’t let her off.

Tina’s fist tightened as her heart started to beat anxiously. Although the Stryder Family was in trouble now, they were still influential and could easily deal with her and the Grays. Therefore, she had to do something about it.

At the thought of this, she bit her lower lip and gripped her arms tightly. Tears rolled down her cheeks suddenly, and she left the room after grabbing her handbag. Then, she instructed the driver to drop her off at Fuller Group.

As the employees all knew her, nobody stood in her way, so she reached the top floor smoothly before opening the door to Toby’s office.

“Toby…” she muttered in a choked voice, her face tear-streaked.

Meanwhile, Toby was in the midst of a work discussion with Zane, and just when they had reached the most important part, she had barged in out of the blue, forcing them to stop.

“Oh, what happened now, Miss Gray?” Zane asked, stroking his chin and looking at Tina with an amused glint in his eyes.

Ignoring him, Tina merely stared straight at Toby, tears brimming in her eyes.

Setting down the document in his hands, Toby then stood up, a frown on his face as he asked, “What happened, Tina?”

Tina pouted and dashed directly into his arms. For the first couple of seconds, Toby’s arms were raised mid-way in the air before he placed them on her shoulder and back before patting her gently.

“Leave the room for now,” Toby said to Zane. Zane simply shrugged and cast a thoughtful look at Tina in Toby’s arms before turning to go, leaving the both of them alone in the office.

After pulling herself away from Toby’s embrace, Tina lifted her head and said in an aggrieved tone, “Miss Stryder’s family is in trouble, Toby. She’s placing all the fault on me, even saying that she won’t let me off. The fact is… I wasn’t the one who asked her to get even with Sonia. Why is she shifting all the blame on me? I don’t get it.”
