Chapter 169,Boss, Your Wifeâs Asking for A Divorce, Again!
The whole time, Toby was observing the changes in Soniaâs expressions, and for some unknown reason, he couldnât bear it when he saw her looking disappointed. However, with the quality of her proposal, he couldnât open up the back door for her no matter how much he couldnât bear it. Knowing that he had obtained the last partnership slot, Titus laughed happily. As he knew the level of his proposal, it would be impossible to obtain a spot in the partnership. However, he still got it in the end. Judging from this, it looks like Toby really threw out his principle of not engaging in insider business for Tinaâs sake and opened up the back door for me, his father-in-law, he thought, the satisfaction growing in his eyes as he peered at Toby.
Heâs really my amazing son-in-law! On the other hand, Toby merely furrowed his brows in confusion, wondering, Whatâs up with the look in Titusâ
eyes? Without pondering over it further, he smacked his lips and said indifferently, âThe five partners have been decided. At this same time tomorrow, you can go to Fuller Group to sign the contract. Iâm going to disclose these five proposals and let those who didnât make the cut have a look to see why they were not selected and where they lost.â âGood idea,â someone agreed with a nod. Sonia was also one of them who was in agreement with this idea, as she wanted to know as well how much different her proposal was from theirs.
Despite that, she was paralyzed with shock when she saw the proposal Tom published on the public screen. âHow could this happen?!â she gasped out loud subconsciously. One after another, everyone turned their attention to her. âWhat happened, President Reed?â Mr. Lanster, who was seated next to her, asked in puzzlement. Instead of answering him, Sonia was staring fixedly on the screen that was displaying Titusâ proposal. âPresident Fuller, can you please tell me why my proposal is stamped with President Grayâs name?â What? Toby wondered, frowning and swirling around to look at the screen behind himself.
After he peered at Titusâ proposal and couldnât find anything amiss, he turned back again. âThis is President Grayâs proposal.â This was the same proposal he went through yesterday that belonged to Titus. However, a guilty look crept over Titusâ face. In fact, he already saw something amiss when his proposal was displayed on the screenâthe proposal with his name written over it wasnât even his proposal. Even though he was shocked, he didnât voice it out because he could only let the wrong spiral down the wrong path.
Furthermore, it had dawned on him that he obtained the partnership slot because of this proposal, and not because Toby had opened up the back door for him for Tinaâs sake. Therefore, all the more reason he couldnât admit that this wasnât his proposal. Despite that, it was beyond his imagination that this was actually that wretched girlâs proposal, and she even cried out loudly. âThatâs nonsense, Toby Fuller!â Sonia was so mad with rage when she heard Toby say that the proposal belonged to Titus that she was shaking all over from the fury and couldnât care less to address him as âPresident Fuller,â calling him by his full name instead. âThis is my proposal. How dare you guys stamp Titus Grayâs name over my proposal and let him claim it as his?â
When everyone heard her accusing Toby of stamping Titusâ name over the proposal, they were all shocked. Narrowing his eyes, Toby asked, âSo youâre saying that we are the ones who changed your proposal to President Grayâs?â âIsnât that what happened?â Sonia snapped, glaring at him coldly. âI really didnât think that you guys could be so shameless,â she continued agitatedly. âJust to let him have a slot in the partnership spot, you guys used such underhand tactics.â If her proposal was really terrible and was eliminated, she could naturally accept defeat with ease.
However, the truth wasnât the case. In contrast, her proposal was excellent. Otherwise, Titus wouldnât have snatched it and obtained the partnership slot. Because of that, she would never let this matter rest so easily. Looking at Sonia who was hopping mad with rage, Toby then turned to look at Titus, who was obviously looking guilty with his head lowered, and he realized that she was telling the truthâthe proposal on the screen was really hers, and not Titusâ. How could Titus steal somebodyâs proposal and pass it off as his own! he thought. His eyes squinted dangerously, and a layer of grim, somber air started to build up around him.
From this, everyone could tell that he was mad. âIâm not the one who stamped the name,â he said in a serious tone, looking at Sonia. Seeing how serious he seemed, Sonia felt a little appeased and asked, âIs it really not you?â âThereâs no reason for me to do this,â he answered. Sonia bit her lip.
She could tell that he was telling the truth, and she concluded, So he really didnât know that the name on the proposal had been changed. âPresident Gray, since President Fuller already said that this has nothing to do with him, it looks like the culprit can only be you.
Please explain to me how my proposal became yours!â she questioned in a cold voice, her eyes fixed on Titus. For the onlookers, they couldnât be happier if this issue blew up, and they started speaking out in amusement. âThatâs right, President Gray. Tell us, is this really your proposal?â âYeah, give us an explanation.â Listening to these peopleâs questions, Titus slammed the table and sprang up from his seat as the fire of fury ignited within him. âWhat else can I say? Of course this is my proposal!â âBut President Reed said it belongs to her,â someone chirped. Titus turned to Sonia, and his eyes flashed. Trying his best to feign composure, he said, âIs this really yours just because you said so?â
âDo you think I canât even recognize my own proposal?â Sonia retorted, chuckling from anger. The guilt within Titus intensified, but admitting it publicly would be the last thing he did. âFine, since you think itâs yours, then tell me how the signature on the proposal became mine in the end. Donât accuse me of stealing it because I have been to neither Paradigm Co. nor Fuller Group. So how did I steal it?â Stumped, Sonia was suddenly out of words to argue. He has a point, she thought. Titus hadnât been to her company, and she would always either lock the proposal in a drawer or bring it straight home every time after she was finished with a part of it.
There was no way he could have bribed someone in her company to steal it, either. In addition, Toby had said that he didnât change the name on the proposal, but her proposal was now written under Titusâ name. Just what the hell is going on? she wondered. Seeing that Sonia was at a loss for words, Titus turned gleeful and added, âYou canât answer me, can you? Since you have no answer for that, then youââ âTom,â Toby interjected suddenly. Titusâ eyes darted to him, his heart fluttering with panic. Toby tapped his finger on the conference desk a couple of times and asked, âAre Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again ï¤Chapter 168 There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia)
ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending you the one who personally collected Miss Reedâs proposal?â âYes,â Tom answered, nodding. Lifting his chin, Toby said, âLooks like the problem arose after you accepted the proposal.â
After hearing that, Sonia eyeballed Tom nervously, her eyes filled with suspicion. Knowing that she was suspecting whether he was bribed by Titus, Tom waved his hands hastily and explained, âMiss Reed, please believe that I didnât do anything.â As Tobyâs special assistant, he was not an easy person to bribe. Moreover, Toby already promised him that he would give him 0.5 percent of the original shares once he finished working for ten years. Although it was a very small portion of shares, judging from the market value of Fuller Group, that 0.5 percent of shares was worth a few billions.
Hence, why would he give up billions and settle for a few hundred of thousands from accepting someoneâs bribe? âIf you didnât do anything, then please tell me how my proposal became his,â Sonia demanded, pointing a finger at Titus. She had to get to the bottom of this issue no matter what.
Chuckling bitterly, Tom answered, âIâm sorry, Miss Reed, but I really donât know. I personally sent your proposal to President Fullerâs office.
On the way, I didnât pass by...â As though something came into his mind at this point, he trailed off, and his eyes widened. Seeing his face, Toby squinted his eyes. âDid you find out something?â Tomâs mouth parted. âI thought of a possibility, but...â Then, he shifted his eyes, which was filled with a complicated look, to Titus.
Catching his eye, Titus felt his heart drop, and the expression on his face turned sullen. Clearly, he understood what had transpired. âMr. Brown, please say it!â Sonia pressed urgently, her eyes glued on him. However, Tom turned to Toby instead, seeking his approval. Toby nodded and said, âJust say it.â
