Chapter 95
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 95 Toby mentioned that Fox Eyes was the one who kidnapped Tina, and claimed that Fox Eyes was one of her suitors. Therefore, the profile picture of a fox at the end of the name list was sufficient as proof of the manâs identity.
âFox Eyes?â The man chuckled. âSo thatâs how you refer to me. Not bad, I like it.â
Sonia frowned as soon as she heard his admission. âFox Eyes, who are you?â
âI canât tell you now, but you can rest assured that I will never hurt you. Youâre my light, so I will commit my life to protecting you,â Fox Eyes replied in a gentle tone.
Realizing that he was being serious, Sonia blushed. Could he actually be my suitor?
As she pondered on the possibility, Fox Eyes spoke. âAlright, itâs getting late, so you should get some rest. I will contact you again. Goodbye!â With that, he cut the call.
While staring at the screen of her phone, Sonia swallowed the questions on the tip of her tongue. Fine. Since he told me he would contact me again, Iâll just ask him next time. But who is he anyway? He popped up out of nowhere, and had been so nice to me that it felt unreal.
The next day, Sonia was woken up by Charlesâ phone call. âDarling, are you awake? Iâm already downstairs.â Charles was leaning against his showy red sports car while raising his head to check out the building in front of him.
Sonia yawned. âIâm getting up âAlright. Be quick. Iâll be waiting for you in the car,â Charles said.
Sonia let out a grunt before hanging up, and then lifted the blanket to get out of bed. After washing up, she took her bag and left for the foyer on her crutches. Right when she opened the door, a letter fell from the doorknob outside.
Sonia picked it up in suspicion, only to recognize from the handwriting that it was a letter from her pen pal, John.
Why is this outside the door? She scanned the corridor while holding onto the letter, and subsequently, a mental image of Tyler popped into her mind.
Previously, Tyler had taken a letter which he promised to return to her, so it was probably left there by him. She had told him to throw the letter away, so she didnât expect him to hold onto it. After checking out the letter, she tucked it into her bag before leaving the house. She decided she would return it into the box later that night.
When she got downstairs, Charles waved at her. âHere I am, my darling!â
Sonia limped forward on her crutches. âGood morning.â
âGood morning. Hereâs your breakfast.â Charles took out a bag from behind him and handed it to her. âHereâs your croissant and coffee from Kingâs Confectionery. Theyâre your favorite.â
When Sonia took the bag of food that was still warm from Charles, she could feel a sense of warmth coursing through her heart as she thanked him smilingly. âYouâre so nice to me, Charles.â
âHmph! Itâs because youâre my darling! Get in.â Charles opened the door for her.
caus While on their way to the venue, Sonia was munching on her breakfast when she suddenly recalled something, prompting her to ask, âCharles, do you know someone our age whoâs great at hacking and likes foxes?â
Charlesâ gaze flickered for a second when he heard that. âWhy do you ask?â
âI spoke to Fox Eyes over the phone last night, and I mean the guy who kidnapped Tinaâ Sonia explained after taking a sip out of her coffee.
Charles shook his head. âI donât know anybody like that. We grew up together. I wonât know someone who you donât. Anyway, what did he tell you?â
Sonia was a little disappointed. âNot much, aside from reassuring that heâll protect me. He even sent me a name list of the netizens who criticized me.â
âThatâs great. At least it means heâs on our side.â Charles shrugged.
âWhile that might be true, Iâm still feeling a little uneasy about having some stranger watching over me in the dark.â Sonia heaved a sigh.
Charles smiled. âItâs alright as long as he means you no harm. Rather, Iâll feel more secure with someone watching over you, so letâs not overthink this. And, here we are.â Charles pulled the car over and got out of it first to help Sonia out from the back seat. As soon as they got out of the car, the press formed a circle around them.
âMiss Reed, are you holding the press conference to clear your name?â
âMr. Lane, what is your opinion about Miss Reed associating herself with her ex-husband when sheâs already your girlfriend?â
âWill you break up?â
While being bombarded by their questions, Sonia maintained a cool expression. Without giving any sort of response, she headed toward the entrance under Charlesâ protection. After entering Paradigm Co., Sonia had the security guards detain the press who tried to follow them into the building.
se Inside the elevator, Charles tidied his disheveled clothes that was the result of him squeezing through the crowd. âGod damn, those reporters sure are nuts.â
Sonia was also doing the same. âThereâs nothing we can do about it. They have to fight to get a scoop.â.
âTheyâre just bullying us because we arenât powerful enough. They dared not do the same while in Tobyâs presence last nightâ Charles complained as he pouted.
Sonia rubbed her brows. âAlright, stop dwelling on that. Letâs go to the meeting room.â After that, she got out of the elevator to head to the meeting room.
Daphne was standing at the entrance. Upon seeing the two of them approaching the meeting room, she nodded at them. âPresident Reed, President Fuller.â
âHave the press that you invited arrived?â Sonia checked her watch. Four minutes to ten. Twenty minutes left before the conference begins.
Daphne nodded before replying, âTheyâre all here.â
âLetâs go in, then.â Sonia pushed on the door to enter the venue with Charles and Daphne behind her.
As soon as the three of them showed up, the press shifted their attention and flashed their cameras at them to take photos. Even when Sonia was facing the blinding flashlights, she maintained an aloof expression without batting an eyelash.
She stepped toward the podium composedly to pick up the mic before announcing with a crisp and bright voice, âI hereby welcome all of you to the press conference. I believe youâre already aware of the purpose of this conference, which is to explain everything about the ruckus that a certain someone stirred online last night.â
âHere we go. Itâs starting.â In the presidentâs office of Fuller Group, Zane was holding onto his phone. When he saw Sonia showing up, he patted on Tobyâs shoulder in excitement. âYour ex-wife sure looks striking. Befitting her image as a strong woman, sheâs calm and organized even in the face of the press. I donât think people will ever believe that she used to be a housewife for the past six years.â.
Toby didnât utter a word as he stared at the woman on the screen with an unfathomable look in his eyes. Her hair was styled into wavy curls, while her face was adorned with delicate makeup. She was in a red womenâs suit that not only showcased her curves, but also accentuated her valiance.
He had never seen her like that. Most of the times when he saw her, she was in an apron and plain clothes, with her hair tied into a ponytail. She looked dull and gloomy in that attire, which was totally unlike how brilliant she looked now. In fact, he could hardly take his eyes off her, and had to admit that she had changed. By that point, she had become strong, confident, and beautiful.
Meanwhile, Sonia scanned the crowd who were seated in the venue of the press conference. âI know youâre all Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again ï¤Chapter 94 There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia)
ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending curious whoâs the one who posted that status online. Now, allow me to introduce to you the daughter of Stone Incorporatedâs chairman, Miss Cynthia Stone, who also happens to be Tina Grayâs close associate.â
While watching the livestream of the press conference, Cynthiaâs face paled when she heard Sonia not only found out about her shady behavior, but made it known to the public. Stone Incorporated had no influence at all in Seafield, as it couldnât even compare to Paradigm Co. It was through Tina that she was able to gain access to upper class society.
Now that Sonia revealed the truth to the public, she knew for certain that the other rich youngsters would keep their distance from her, for they would consider her a despicable woman.
If that happens, nobody will be willing to forge marital bonds with the Stones, and my father will blame it on me!
What should I do? Cynthia was on the verge of tears, already regretting her rash decision.
