Chapter 62
Currently, Sonia was standing in front of the printer and photocopying the deed as well as the transfer
document. Since she had a moment, she answered Daphne, “Got it. Have the completed documents
on the desk sent out and when Charles drops by in the afternoon, let me know.”
“Of course.” Daphne went over to the desk and took the stack of documents.
After Sonia finished her photocopying, she returned to her desk and sat down, thereafter arranging the
photocopies
properly so that she could staple them
together. As for the originals, she was
prepared to store them in the safe.
All of a sudden, she thought of something and something flashed across her eyes. Pulling out her
cell phone, she took pictures of the original deed and posted them onto the internet with the caption,
‘Thank you to President Fuller for this excellent piece
of land!
Following that, she added the social media handles of both Toby and Triforce Enterprise. There was no
doubt Titus would be apoplectic with
rage when he saw it.
At the end of the day, Tina’s attitude was a reflection of his parenting and
he ought to take a bit of responsibility
for her actions as well.
At the thought, Sonia let out a small smile. It was time she gave credit
where it was due.
Right then, her cell phone rang.
When she lowered her head to look at
the caller ID, she discovered that it was
a call from Carl. Without hesitation, she put the phone to her ear,
answering, “Carl.”
“Sonia.” From the other end of the line,
Carl’s low, magnetic voice passed
through her eardrums. It was extremely
pleasant to listen to.
The sound made her ear itch slightly and she couldn’t help shrinking her neck as she said, “Are you
finished with work? How is it that you have time to call me?”
“Not yet. I just finished posing for a set
of magazines and I’m on break right now. Since I had nothing better to do, ! went through my activity
feed. I never
thought I would come across what you just posted. What does your post mean, Sonia? Did Toby give
you a plot of land?” Carl asked, to which Sonia answered in the affirmative as she leaned back in her
chair.
However, he frowned slightly. “Why would he give you a plot of land? Are
you thinking about-”
“Watch where you’re going with this.” The moment she heard his tone, she knew he had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmisunderstood. Feeling both amused and exasperated, she explained, “It’s actually recompense on
Tina’s behalf.”
“Recompense?” At first, he was startled and his expression darkened quite a bit, “Did Tina hurt you,
Sonia?”
Rubbing the bridge of her nose, she answered with a sigh, “She did. I never thought she could be so
bold.”
With that, she gave a simple retelling
of the events at the resort.
Upon hearing the whole story, Carl tightened his grip around his cell phone and his gaze was
murderous. “How are you now?”
Though his expression was ice cold,
his voice was filled with care and
concern.
Therefore, she didn’t realize that anything was wrong and only answered with a warmed heart, “I’m
fine. I have a slight concussion, but I’ll be fully healed within a few days.”
“Good.” The corners of his lips curved downward. “Alright, I have to get back to work. Talk to you later,
Sonia.”
“Alright.” She nodded, “Work hard.
Bye!”
“Bye!” After hanging up the phone, Carl
sent out a text message
expressionlessly. ‘There’s something!
need you to do…
Very quickly, the person on the other end replied, ‘Roger that!
As Carl looked down at his wallpaper of Sonia’s smiling visage on his phone, he ran his thumb lightly
across the image. However, his face was no
longer as gentle as it previously was. Instead, it seemed slightly hostile.
He used to live in darkness. It took a
lot for a ray of light to appear in his life, and whoever harmed that light would
have to pay the price.
Meanwhile at Triforce Enterprise, Titus
was in a meeting with a few
shareholders and senior managers, discussing the development matters concerning the first villa
district. Suddenly, his assistant pushed open the meeting room door and exclaimed,
“Something bad has happened,
President Gray!”
Seeing how grave the assistant looked, Titus could only pause the meeting and ask, “What
happened?”
Of course, the assistant didn’t
announce the news to everyone and instead sidled up to Titus’ side to
whisper into his ear.
Instantly, Titus’ expression changed
drastically. “Are you sure?”
“Positive.” The assistant nodded
multiple times.
At once, Titus’ face turned red and he slapped his hand on the table, shouting, “How dare she?”
How dare she not only snatch away the
piece of land that he was intending to
develop into the city’s first villa district
but even include his social media
handle?
Clearly, she was trying to provoke and
humiliate him!
Seeing the rage on his face, one of the senior managers asked curiously, “What’s the matter, President
Gray?”
Taking a deep breath, Titus quelled the rage in his heart and answered with a neutral expression,
“Nothing, but the
meeting has to be put on hold for now.
Dismissed!”
With that, he spun on his heel and left
the conference room.
On the way out, he called Toby and as
soon as the call connected, Titus asked, “Did you give the plot of land in the city center to your ex-wife,
Toby?”
Currently, Toby was at the club under
Zane’s invitation,
The room was a little noisy and he couldn’t hear clearly, so he stood up and headed out onto the
balcony before replying, “Did Tina tell you?”
Titus’ eyes widened when he heard
that. “What? Tina knows as well?”
Toby hummed and nodded.
“What happened to the both of you?”
“The more Titus heard, the more
muddled he became. With dissatisfaction written all over his face, he questioned, “Why would you give
the land to Sonia? She posted the deed on the internet and tagged me, acting like she’s showing off by
actually laughing at me. Do you know about
this?”
Who in the large city didn’t know he had his eye on that plot of land?
With Sonia’s actions, there was no
saying whether the people in their circle were laughing at him!
Meanwhile, Toby narrowed his eyes as
he mused, Has Sonia really posted the
land deed online?
“Are you still there, Toby?” Titus asked in a louder voice.
Jolted back to the present, Toby parted his lips to say, “Yes. I’m sorry, Titus. I didn’t know Sonia would
do that.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDisgruntled, Titus snorted. “Alright. Why did you give her that land, then?
Are you still in love with her? I warn
you, Toby-don’t have any thoughts that you shouldn’t be having. You and Tina are the actual couple,
and you’re formalizing the engagement at the end of the year!”
For some reason, that thought always left Toby feeling inexplicably conflicted.
Nonetheless, he didn’t look into it too deeply, only chalking it up to his recent tiredness and pinching the
bridge of his nose before answering in a low voice, “I know. I don’t have any intentions toward Sonia. In
fact, I gave
her that land because of Tina. Tina
was the one who nearly made a grievous error, Titus.”
“Oh?” Titus immediately became stern. “Tell me what happened.”
“She poured some body wash outside Sonia’s shower door and it nearly cost Sonia her life. Sonia saw
right through
her and threatened to have her sent to prison. I only managed to smooth things over by offering a trade
port and
that piece of land in exchange.” Toby
answered concisely.
Meanwhile, Titus listened with his
mouth agape. For a long time, he couldn’t say anything and only after a long moment did he answer, “I
see. I’m so sorry for the trouble it caused you, Toby.”
“It’s fine, but I hope you can have a
chat with Tina to prevent such things
from happening in the future. I can clean up after her once but not for a lifetime, understand?” Toby
answered
coldly with an inscrutable expression
in his eyes.
Naturally. Titus could hear the warning
in the other man’s tone and he understood it too. It dawned on him
that Toby was expressing
dissatisfaction in Tina.
That was to say, Tina was always a
kind person in his heart, and it was
both shocking and disappointing to him that she would do such a thing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be
saying that.
It was clear that he would part ways with Tina if she ever did anything like that again in the future. After
all, what
man would want a wife with such
twisted intentions? He might get
stabbed to death in his sleep one day.
“Alright. Rest assured, Toby-I’ll be
having a chat with her,” Titus was quick to reassure him.
Following that, Titus hung up the phone and, with a thunderous expression, informed his assistant,
“Get the car ready. We’re heading
home!”
