This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 1059

Chapter 1059 You Lied to Me Again

After Sonia finished her comment, Toby lifted his chin at Charles without masking his smug expression. Without words, he communicated, ‘Look how well Little Leaf knows me.’

Charles fully understood Toby’s expression and the corner of his lips twitched as his body was trembling. This brat!

Needless to say, she did not miss any of their little interactions, but she played dumb since they would become childish whenever they were together. As long as it was not a physical fight, she might as well just let them be.

“Fine, fine.” Charles waved his hand helplessly. “Even if it’s a lie, I won’t do anything to you anyway.” In other words, he did not blame her for it. She smiled. “Thanks, Charles.”

Again, he waved his hand in reply before Toby said, “Little Leaf, I didn’t know that you have so much faith in me. I’m really happy to know that.”

Sonia did not ask him about it, yet she already believed that he would not buy the story. Of course, he should be jumping in excitement for such a solid couple’s trust!

She then poured him a glass of water. “That’s because you know the entirety of the meeting. If you still couldn’t believe it despite that, clearly, I have overestimated you.”

“Don’t worry. Your man ain’t silly.” He took over the glass. “Even if I know nothing, I won’t doubt your loyalty. I know what kind of person you are.”

She glared at him, but a smile appeared across her lips. Evidently, she was pleased by his answer.

“Right, Toby.” Charles suddenly landed his gaze upon the man.

Toby frowned. “What?”

Charles crossed his legs. “What else? I just wanna know why you aren’t doing anything to dwindle the rage on the Internet? It’s been so long and you’re letting them criticize Sonia? Although she said there’s no need to rush since she’s testing you, that shouldn’t affect the test, right?”

“Test?” Toby turned to face Sonia. “What test?”

She had not expected Charles to be so outspoken by questioning Toby about the Internet rage as well as blurting the so-called test. She was in a bind, for it would be impossible to keep the truth from Charles later.

“Don’t interrupt us.” Although Charles was surprised by Toby’s oblivion about her test, he was desperate to know the reason behind Toby’s decision.

To him, dwindling the rage would not influence the test in any way, since it was neither a clarification nor a solution to the matter.

Toby glanced at her with an intense gaze for a moment before answering Charles’ question, “Who says that I’m doing nothing?”

Both Sonia and Charles were put in a trance by that.

“You’ve done something?” asked Charles in shock.

Toby remained quiet while Sonia parted her lips to say something, but frowned soon after. She was not doubting Toby’s words as there was no reason for him to lie.

But why is the issue still trending on the Internet?

That exact question was then brought up by Charles.

“I don’t care.” He snorted. “You didn’t tell me the truth anyway. You lied.”

“Enough. Are you a kid?” Toby could not bear the sight of Charles’ behavior as he chided with a darkened expression, “She didn’t lie. You’re stupid for failing to figure it out. It’s simple.”

While his face displayed disdain, Charles was vexed. “Yeah, yeah. I’m stupid and you’re smart. So, tell me. Who’s the one behind this? Why are they stirring up a scandal between Sonia and I?”

Toby looked at Sonia reflexively, but she played dumb by facing front without sparing a glance at him. Seeing that, his heart sank at the drop of a hat.

Dang it! So, she’s livid because she knows that the mastermind is my pursuer.

“Little Leaf, trust me. I’ll find her, so don’t be angry.” He looked at the glass before her after which he stood up to fill it with water gingerly.

She alternated her gaze from the glass onto his jittery expression, which she found funny. If the mastermind was not Lynette and had nothing to do with him, the anger in Sonia would be placated by his cautious behavior; she would’ve just smiled and gotten over it.

However, that person was someone related to him and she did not know how he was going to settle it. In hindsight, she could not bring herself to smile.

She pushed the glass aside as she had no intention to drink it. At the same time, she was telling Toby that it would not be easy to quell the rage.

His heart squeezed tighter. When he was at his wit’s end, Charles abruptly slammed the table. “What? It’s a woman?”

He sprang to his feet and pointed at Toby. “Toby Fuller, is it your pursuer? Is she behind all this?”
