Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 756 No One Can Blackmail Me

“I’m sure Mr. Fuller will agree to it. I’ve only just mentioned how much he loves Sonia, so there’s no way he would

risk letting her know the truth and have her breakdown over it. Instead, he would continue to keep her in the dark.

Am I right, Mr. Fuller?” Jessica’s gaze was burning hot as she stared at Toby meaningfully.

It was precisely because she knew of his feelings for Sonia that she became emboldened to make such a request.

Otherwise, she never would have said anything in the first place.

She could have not seen him altogether and demanded to see Sonia, thereafter telling her about her real identity

and having her lose her mind over it as well. However, now that there was a chance for Jessica to be together with

this man, torturing Sonia seemed secondary. If I get my hands on this man, Sonia would be equally tortured, too.

Besides, Jessica could always get even with Sonia after she was released. More importantly, she was already

excited at the prospect of showing up in front of Sonia while holding Toby’s arm. I can just imagine the look on

Sonia’s face when that happens!

The anticipation that came with these thoughts made Jessica tremble in an almost maniacal way.

Toby, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about what she thought, and he eyed her like he would a dead man as

he bit out icily, “You’re right to say that I won’t breathe a word to Sonia about her being Titus’ biological daughter.”

“In that case, Mr. Fuller, you’re left with no other choice but to break me out of here and be together with me,”

Jessica declared arrogantly, tilting her chin up at a haughty angle.

To the side, Tom rolled his eyes in exasperation as he barked, “Well, aren’t you just a little too full of yourself,

Jessica? Do you honestly believe our President Fuller to be the type to accede to your threats just because you have

something on him? Let me make one thing clear: you are way in over your head, and there is no way President

Fuller will agree to break you out of here, much less be together with you, so give up!”

Jessica’s face twisted into an ugly grimace. “What do you know, you lapdog? I, for one, know about Sonia’s true

identity. If Mr. Fuller here doesn’t want her to lose her mind after she learns the truth, then he’ll have no choice but

to agree to my terms, unless he cares so little for Sonia that he would rather see her die!”

Tom was not at all riled up despite having been called a lapdog. This wasn’t the first time he had been called

names, and being Toby’s assistant for all these years had fortified him against such abuse. As such, he remained

level-headed as he thought dryly, There are plenty of people in this world who would kill to be President Fuller’s

lapdog.

Maintaining a cool front, he raised his brow and said apathetically, “Of course, President Fuller loves Sonia and

would do everything in his power to keep her from dying in a fit of hysterics. That being said, he would never agree

to your outlandish terms and bow before your threats. Do you truly think so highly of yourself that you believe you

have what it takes to blackmail President Fuller? Please. Ever since he has taken control of the Fuller Family and

Fuller Group, he’s been threatened countless times, and none has made him surrender yet, so your confidence is

beyond comprehension. If the likes of you could bring him to his knees, then those who threatened him in the past

ought to jump off a building in disbelief; we’re talking about big shots which have the money and power to squash

you under their thumbs and whatever weakness they thought they had found on President Fuller far exceeded the

one you have now.”

Upon hearing such mockery, Jessica choked on her own confidence, and she felt her heart plunge to her stomach

as doubt crept over her. “And what do you have to say, Mr. Fuller?” With her thoughts racing frantically, she stared

at Toby as her voice rose in pitch and quivered dangerously. “Do you or do you not agree?!”

She had a feeling that everything was slipping out of her hands and that she could no longer be sure of his answer.

Whatever Tom had said had truly shaken her, and a bad premonition dawned upon her as she became slowly

convinced that she would not win this game of chess.

No, don’t think that, she thought wildly, shaking her head as though to discard the bad premonition. Of course, this

will work. I know about Sonia’s identity, and if Toby truly loves her so much, then he would agree to do what I asked

of him—he will, and he must!

She started chanting under her breath, as if that was the key to her success.

“Do you think I’d have anything to say to you?” Toby looked up and said pointedly in clipped tones.

Jessica swallowed, and alarms sounded off in her heart as the bad feeling she had just suppressed bubbled up once

more after she heard his stiff reply. “W-What do you mean?” she demanded in a shaking voice.

Tom scoffed in disdain. “Isn’t it clear? President Fuller does not agree!”

“That’s impossible!” Hysterical, Jessica faltered, and all the color drained from her face. Unable to take the hit of

this rejection, she struggled and tried to barrel toward the imperious man to demand an explanation from him, and

she did so with such vigor that the chair firmly planted on the ground began to shake.

“How is that impossible?” Tom pressed further, taking delight in her obvious rage.

She was struggling so hard to break loose of her restraints that her face turned red, and her eyes were bloodshot

as they bugged out. Manic frenzy seized her as she roared, “This is about Sonia’s safety, is it not? How could you

disagree? Aren’t you worried that I would tell Sonia everything? Or do you simply not love her at all?”

“Of course I love her!” Toby answered without a second of hesitation. “But that doesn’t mean I have to listen to you.

Fuller Group would have crumbled in my hands if I truly were so easily blackmailed.”

Jessica was stunned, speechless for a moment when she heard his indifferent words, and then she burst into a

hysterical rage as she roared, “Okay, you made me do this, Toby. You made me! I’m going to tell Sonia all about her

real identity; I’m going to make her lose her mind and kill herself! I’ll make you regret this! Mark my words, Toby!

Someone come get me!” she yelled for the policemen.

Toby stood in place, looking as impassive as ever and completely unaffected by Jessica’s senseless threats. He

turned to give Tom a knowing look, and the latter nodded in comprehension before walking out the door to pacify

the police officers who were on their way in.

With Tom gone, Toby and Jessica were the only ones left in the detention room.

Placing one hand on the glass and the other in his pocket, Toby leaned forward and lowered his gaze. Through the

glass, he eyed Jessica with the same superiority and apathy that one might have for a pest and drawled icily, “You

won’t even get the chance to tell her that. Do you think I wouldn’t have thought of a contingency plan the moment I

rejected your sorry request? I will never let you get close enough to Sonia to tell her the truth, and you will have no

way of contacting her. I won’t even let you see anyone else from the outside world; I’ll cut off all your network and

let the secret die with your tortured soul as you get to know the fresh hell that is prison life.”

“You—” Her eyes widened as she gaped at him in disbelief. She never expected him to be able to go the extra mile

and cut off all her back-up plans. She had always imagined herself the victor in this game of chess, that she would

be the one to cry ‘checkmate!’ to his face.

Little did she know that he would be the one to beat her to it; she realized now that she had been his pawn all

along, and she was never even a player to begin with.

“I was wrong…” Regret crashed over her like a tidal wave, drowning her.

The pleasure of knowing such a deep and dark secret had blinded her. She had forgotten that the man was an

unforgiving, godlike character in the business world; plenty had tried to bring him down before, and none of them

had succeeded. Belatedly, she started to wonder how she had been so confident that she could be the first one to

one-up him through blackmail and bring him to his knees.

At that moment, an icy chill washed over her as fear consumed all the air in her lungs. Her teeth seemed to chatter

on their own will, and she gritted them hard as she stammered, “Y-You can’t do this—”

“Why not?” Toby lifted his chin, looking down at her with immense superiority. “No one other than Sonia gets to be

so brazen in front of me as to be able to leave unscathed after threatening me. You should have thought about

what might happen to you the very moment you decided to blackmail me!”
