Chapter 169

,Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again!

The whole time, Toby was observing the changes in Sonia’s expressions, and for some unknown
reason, he couldn’t bear it when he saw her looking disappointed. However, with the quality of her
proposal, he couldn’t open up the back door for her no matter how much he couldn’t 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 Tina’s 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.



He’s really my amazing son-in-law! On the other hand, Toby merely furrowed his brows in confusion,
wondering, What’s up with the look in Titus’ eyes? Without pondering over it further, he smacked his
lips and said indifferently, “The five partners have been decided. At this same time tomorrow, you can
go to Fuller Group to sign the contract. I’m going to disclose these five proposals and let those who
didn’t make the cut have a look to see why they were not selected and where they lost.” “Good idea,”
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. “How could this happen?!” she gasped out loud subconsciously. One after another, everyone
turned their attention to her. “What happened, President Reed?” 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 Titus’ proposal. “President Fuller, can you please tell me why my proposal is stamped with



President Gray’s name?” What? Toby wondered, frowning and swirling around to look at the screen
behind himself.

After he peered at Titus’ proposal and couldn’t find anything amiss, he turned back again.
“This is President Gray’s proposal.” This was the same proposal he went through yesterday that
belonged to Titus. However, a guilty look crept over Titus’ face. In fact, he already saw something
amiss when his proposal was displayed on the screen—the proposal with his name written over it
wasn’t even his proposal. Even though he was shocked, he didn’t 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 Tina’s sake. Therefore, all the more reason
he couldn’t admit that this wasn’t his proposal. Despite that, it was beyond his imagination that this was
actually that wretched girl’s proposal, and she even cried out loudly. “That’s nonsense, Toby Fuller!”
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 couldn’t care less to address him as ‘President Fuller,’ calling him by
his full name instead. “This is my proposal. How dare you guys stamp Titus Gray’s name over my
proposal and let him claim it as his?”

When everyone heard her accusing Toby of stamping Titus’ name over the proposal, they were all
shocked. Narrowing his eyes, Toby asked, “So you’re saying that we are the ones who changed your
proposal to President Gray’s?” “Isn’t that what happened?” Sonia snapped, glaring at him coldly. “I
really didn’t think that you guys could be so shameless,” she continued agitatedly. “Just to let him have
a slot in the partnership spot, you guys used such underhand tactics.” If her proposal was really terrible
and was eliminated, she could naturally accept defeat with ease.





However, the truth wasn’t the case. In contrast, her proposal was excellent. Otherwise, Titus wouldn’t
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 truth—the
proposal on the screen was really hers, and not Titus’. How could Titus steal somebody’s 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. “I’m not the one who stamped the name,” he said in a
serious tone, looking at Sonia. Seeing how serious he seemed, Sonia felt a little appeased and asked,
“Is it really not you?” “There’s no reason for me to do this,” he answered. Sonia bit her lip. She could
tell that he was telling the truth, and she concluded, So he really didn’t know that the name on the
proposal had been changed. “President 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!” she questioned in a cold voice, her eyes fixed
on Titus. For the onlookers, they couldn’t be happier if this issue blew up, and they started speaking out
in amusement. “That’s right, President Gray. Tell us, is this really your proposal?” “Yeah, give us an
explanation.” Listening to these people’s questions, Titus slammed the table and sprang up from his
seat as the fire of fury ignited within him. “What else can I say? Of course this is my proposal!” “But
President Reed said it belongs to her,” someone chirped. Titus turned to Sonia, and his eyes flashed.
Trying his best to feign composure, he said, “Is this really yours just because you said so?”

“Do you think I can’t even recognize my own proposal?” Sonia retorted, chuckling from anger. The guilt
within Titus intensified, but admitting it publicly would be the last thing he did. “Fine, since you think it’s
yours, then tell me how the signature on the proposal became mine in the end. Don’t accuse me of
stealing it because I have been to neither Paradigm Co. nor Fuller Group. So how did I steal it?”



Stumped, Sonia was suddenly out of words to argue. He has a point, she thought. Titus hadn’t 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 didn’t change the name on the proposal, but her proposal was now written under Titus’
name. Just what the hell is going on? she wondered. Seeing that Sonia was at a loss for words, Titus
turned gleeful and added, “You can’t answer me, can you? Since you have no answer for that, then you
—” “Tom,” Toby interjected suddenly. Titus’ eyes darted to him, his heart fluttering with panic. Toby
tapped his finger on the conference desk a couple of times and asked, “Are you the one who personally
collected Miss Reed’s proposal?” “Yes,” Tom answered, nodding. Lifting his chin, Toby said, “Looks like
the problem arose after you accepted the proposal.”

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, “Miss Reed,
please believe that I didn’t do anything.” As Toby’s 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
someone’s bribe? “If you didn’t do anything, then please tell me how my proposal became his,” Sonia
demanded, pointing a finger at Titus. She had to get to the bottom of this issue no matter what.
Chuckling bitterly, Tom answered, “I’m sorry, Miss Reed, but I really don’t know. I personally sent your
proposal to President Fuller’s office.

On the way, I didn’t pass by…” As though something came into his mind at this point, he trailed off, and
his eyes widened. Seeing his face, Toby squinted his eyes. “Did you find out something?” Tom’s mouth



parted. “I thought of a possibility, but…” 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. “Mr. Brown, please say it!” Sonia pressed urgently, her eyes glued on
him. However, Tom turned to Toby instead, seeking his approval. Toby nodded and said, “Just say it.”
