Chapter 40

“You are going way overboard now, Charles!” Melody commented coldly. “Do you think Tina and the rest
of us are blind? Of course we can tell that you are directing your vengeance at her! She only has her
strappy camisole left. What else do you want?” Charles merely shrugged with a confused expression. “I
won. So, she should remove

her clothes, shouldn’t she? Since when

have I gone overboard? Well, you can also



help her out by taking off your clothes!”

Upon hearing that, she was speechless. As



the heater was causing the room to be

extremely warm, she had only worn a

spaghetti strapped long dress.

Of course, she would not embarrass herself just to help Tina out.

We should end things here since it’s already quite late.” Toby walked over to Tina and wrapped his coat
around her.

Before Charles could say anything, Toby added indifferently. Til ask my accountant to transfer 30 million
to you tomorrow morning. The Fuller Group will withdraw its acquisition of Snoway and I will ask my team



to assist you in acquiring the company instead.”

Since Charles had already embarrassed

Tina and with Toby taking a step back, he

felt that it was a good opportunity for him

to stop his taunts. “At the age of ten when

Sonia played poker with her father, even he

lost to her. let alone me.” He extinguished

his cigarette in the ashtray before he slowly stood up, whеn уоu guys were playing with her earlier,
although it seemed like you had won, it was just that she did

not want to play with you.”

When his shoulders brushed past Toby’s

body, Charles shot a glance at him and

Snorted. “It seems like she really doesn’t

want to be with you anymore. Otherwise,

even if Tina is ten times better at the game, she will also lose to Sonia.”

Upon hearing that, Toby recalled Sonia’s

peaceful expression when she was having



her tattoo removed. Then, his eyes darkened. So, she actually knows how to

play poker.

Meanwhile, Sonia and Hebecca had just ordered snacks and finished singing a few songs in the private
room when Charles returned

Rebecca quickly walked to him to ask about what had happened. When she

heard that Tina had stripped to the point of

being nude, she felt vindictive. “If Toby wasn’t around, she probably would have walked out of the club
naked tonight!”

“I know, right?” He let out another snort.

“An eye for an eye! No matter how she

bullies my baby, I’ll return the favor a few

more times!”

“Thanks.” Sonia smiled and gave Charles a

toast

He did not ask why she had allowed the

rest of them to bully her in the poker room earlier. Instead, he stretched out with his hand and yanked her
into his embrace as he teased, “We have already slept on the same bed for a long time. Why are you still
thanking me?”

“Whoa!” Rebecca looked at them with . widened eyes. “Is it true?”



“Of course it’s true,”

“If you destroy my reputation any further, I’m going to slap you.” Sonia gave Charles a hard kick before
she explained to

Rebecca, “When we were younger, his

parents were usually not at home, so he

always came to my place for food. He

even slept there without compensating us.

Don’t you think that he’s taken it quite far?”

upon heating thai, Rebecca immediately looked at him in disdain “Ah, I see. It turns out that he is just
thick skinned.”

They had joked around without realizing that there was a small voice recorder taped under the table,
which recorded their entire conversation.

Charles” friends soon arrived one after

another, which gave the room loads of

vigor and laughter.

Sonia did not like a huge crowd. On top of

that, she was in a bad mood and merely

sat in the corner while drinking some wine.



After some time, she saw Charles and his

friends playing games that involved

drinking and joined them.

Even though she lost in those games, she still felt jubilant as she poured a mixture of red and white wine
into her mouth.

After a few rounds of doing so, she felt

quite dizzy.

“I’m going out to take a breather. You guys. should carry on without me.” As she felt

that she could no longer continue with the

games, Sonia informed Charles before she

walked out of the room.



She merely wanted to head to the balcony to enjoy the breeze. However, as she had drank too much in
the room earlier, she felt even more nauseous when the cold wind

blew at her face.

Sonia covered her lips and quickly ran to

the wachronm

the washroom



It was after she threw up that she felt much more comfortable. She splashed her face with cold water
before she looked at herself in the mirror. How pathetic and pitiful. I hope this is the last time I
allow myself to be drunk

As she walked out of the washroom, she headed to the balcony again. At this moment, a waiter passed
her by with a tray in his hands

When he saw that her cheeks were

reddened and that she still looked drunk,

he passed her a bottle of water that was

on his tray. “Miss, you will feel better after

drinking some water.”

“Thank you.” Sonia took the bottle from

him and immediately opened the cap to

A huge hand then suddenly pinched her bottom before a breathy whisper landed in her ears. “Beautiful
girl, your figure is alluring. What’s your price?”

“Let me go!” she coldly replied with the intention to crush the person’s hands.

However, as she had just finished throwing

up, she did not have much energy left. Apart from that, she was also quite dizzy.

which made it easier for him to hug her

and yank her toward the elevator.



“Don’t worry. I have lots of money. I can

pay you any amount of money that you

want,” the man said with a snicker.

Sonia had no idea why she couldn’t stop

her body from softening. She bit her tongue in an attempt to wake herself up and she stomped on his
shoes with her pair of high heels. When he released her in pain, she quickly fled the scene while

placing her hand on the walls for support.

However, as soon as she ran outside, the

man chased after her and pulled her hair in annoyance. “I’ve already told you that I’m going to give you
some money. Don’t take it for granted”

At this moment, another hand suddenly

pinched his wrist hard.

“Ahhhh!” He let out a loud scream, feeling

as though his wrist was about to break.

“Who the hell are you? How dare you touch

me!”

Even though the man was cursing, he imunediately fell silent as soon as he met the other person’s cold
pair of eyes. “P. President Fuller…”



“My pleasure.” When Toby saw the long strands of hair in the man’s hands, his gaze darkened even
further. He applied more force and immediately crushed the

man’s wrist.

With an indifferent tone, Toby asked, “I

wonder what business you have with my ex-wife, President Mills.”

President Mills did not dare to even grunt.

Beads of sweat formed on his head as he

suppressed his urge to yell aloud and

instead bowed to apologize to Toby. “I’m

sorry, President Fuller. I didn’t look properly

as I thought she was one of the employees

of the club. I didn’t know that she is your

ex-wife

Toby released him and called for a waiter. “President Mills is drunk. Arrange for a car to send him back,”
he ordered.

Upon seeing that Toby decided to let the matter slide, President Mills heaved a sigh of relief. However, at
this moment, Toby added, “His eyes are not working well. Arrange an optometrist at the hospital to

do an eye checkup on him.”



President Mills was speechless when he

heard that.

After President Mills had followed the

waiter out, Toby shot a glance at Sonia, who was still holding onto the wall for

support. Her hair was in a mess and she could not even stand straight. It was obvious that she had drunk
a lot.

He still remembered what Charles had told

him earlier.

Toby walked to Sonia in large strides and he pulled her arms to lift her up on her feet. “Sonia, what are
you implying?” He

was quite strong as he held her weak waist, but his tone was indifferent. “You

know how to play poker, yet you deliberately lost the game?”

“It’s none of your business!” she answered

sarcastically. She wanted to shove his

hands away, but she was so dizzy that she

almost landed in his embrace.

She managed to force herself to stand

straight. When she raised her head, she



almost landed in his emblaue

She managed to force herself to stand straight. When she raised her head, she saw a blurred face with a
pair of deep, profound eyes that looked at her fixedly.

“None of my business? Is that what you just said, Sonia?”
