“Hey, Tina.” Cynthia’s voice broke. “What should I do now? Sonia’s going to file a lawsuit against me soon!”

Tina didn’t see that coming either, so she was getting a headache over it. “Alright, Cynthia. You don’t have to worry.”

“How can I not?” Cynthia stomped her foot in agitation. “As soon as she presses charges against me, I will have a blemish in my record. How will people in the upper class society perceive me if that is the case?”

Nobody would accept someone who had a criminal record as their wife. If she couldn’t marry into a rich family to help Stone Incorporated, her father would hate her and bring his illegitimate daughter back home.

The more Cynthia thought about it, the more she feared. She gripped onto her phone tightly. “Tina, you have to save me. I only did all of this for you.”

Tina bit her lip in dismay. What does she mean she did it for me? I only implied to her that she should help me deal with Sonia, but I didn’t mean it for her to do it like that. Despite what Tina thought, she couldn’t say that out loud. Instead, she forced a smile. “I know. I’ll get you out of this mess.”

“Great! That’s great to hear!” Cynthia wept in joy before asking, “By the way, Tina, didn’t you say you would beg for President Fuller’s mercy? As long as he’s willing to help, Sonia won’t be able to do anything.”

“I know, but he turned me down last time. This time…”

“Tina, please talk to him about it again. He will agree to it since he loves you so much.” Cynthia couldn’t bear being rejected, so she cut Tina off.

A dismal look fleeted across Tina’s gaze before she replied hesitantly, “But…”

“Tina, you said you would save me.” Cynthia cut her short again.

Even though Tina was getting impatient, she sounded as if she were about to go all out. “Alright, I’ll try again.”

“Thank you, Tina.” Cynthia heaved a sigh of relief.

After hanging up, Tina left her room to drive to Fuller Group.
