Chapter 950 Crushing Her to Death
How is that possible?! Why would I fail? For a time, Asher couldn’t accept such an outcome. In his opinion, men
were supposed to behave as he thought they would. There was no man who wouldn’t mind his better half’s origins.
In fact, the higher the man’s standing was, the more he would mind it.
After all, if word got out that he fell in love with an orphan despite being of such a high social standing, people
would laugh at him and gossip about him. Men were creatures who cared about their reputation. How could they
possibly not care about these things?
Seeing Asher’s twitching facial muscles, Sonia could no longer restrain herself. She mocked, “Seems like President
Dafoe doesn’t quite believe your words.” She gently poked Toby’s slim waist.
Toby’s eyes darkened; he grabbed her naughty finger and held it in a tight grip. “Stop it.” A man’s waist is one of his
erogenous zones, so it can’t be touched as one pleases. She’s playing with fire!
Seeing his darkened eyes, Sonia realized why he asked her to stop. Her face blushing, she withdrew her finger from
his grasp and turned her head away as though nothing had happened.
Seeing how she fled after flirting with him like a playgirl, Toby was both vexed and amused. “I’ll settle the score with
you later,” he whispered in her ear with his head lowered before turning his gaze back to Asher with a frosty look in
his eyes. “President Dafoe, I can only say that you don’t understand me. Not every man behaves as you think they
will. Whatever kind of a person you are, it doesn’t mean that the others are the same kind of people.” In other
words, he implied that Asher was the kind of man who cared about both his woman’s family background and his
reputation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnderstanding what Toby meant, Asher felt deeply embarrassed, but he couldn’t admit it. Therefore, he could only
continue to smile placatingly, saying, “You’ve got to be joking, President Fuller. That isn’t what I mean. Sonia is my
family friend, so how can I possibly harbor such ideas? I only wish the best for both of you.”
Seeing how Asher refused to admit his doings and even lied through his teeth after she and Toby had expressed
themselves so bluntly without sparing his feelings, Sonia couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Inwardly, she was very
impressed. After all, no ordinary person could be a match for Asher when it came to shamelessness.
“You only wish the best for both of us, huh?” Toby repeated softly in a tone that was worth pondering as his thin lips
parted.
Asher nodded repeatedly. “Yes, of course. Really, I only think that Sonia is pitiful, and I have no intention of
wounding her pride or sowing discord between you two. Believe me, President Fuller. If I had such ideas, I’d have
put them into practice, right? Why would I wait until now? I only feel sorry for her. She was abandoned by her
biological parents as a child, and after she was finally adopted, Henry’s wife suddenly fell ill and passed away when
she was one year old. When she was five years old, she got a stepmother. As the saying goes, a stepmother comes
with a stepfather.”
As he spoke of this, he darted another look at Sonia. Then, pretending to pity her as though he didn’t see how sullen
she looked as if she wanted to rip him to shreds, he continued, “Well, Henry didn’t go so far as to become like a
stepfather, but he definitely didn’t care about Sonia as much as he had at first. So, I thought it was perhaps
because she didn’t have too much love from her father as a child that she always surrounded herself with men to
get love from them. At first, there was the Lane brat, followed by the male model in show business that was
surnamed Lee. Then, there was the Coleman guy. Of course, I don’t mean anything else by saying this. President
Fuller, I just want to tell you that Sonia is craving love, which is why she always has so many men around her. So,
you have to take good care of her and not blame her. Those people are all a thing of the past. Indeed, Sonia
deserves pity.” I’ve made myself so clear that Sonia is a promiscuous wh*re who has so many men around her.
There’s no way that Toby wouldn’t mind it. If he still doesn’t mind it, I’ll doubt if he’s really a man!
Asher was confident about his plan. Firstly, he emphasized that Sonia’s mother had somehow passed away from an
illness when she was little. Wouldn’t that mean Sonia had brought bad luck to her mother? After all, her mother was
fine before she joined the Reed Family. After that, he cooked up a story where Sonia had been craving love since
childhood because her father didn’t love her enough. He then accused her of being a loose woman who couldn’t
live without men after growing up so that Toby would take offense at this.
He really has another trick up his sleeve when his previous trick doesn’t work. He played such a move right after his
previous plan failed just to sabotage my relationship with Toby, huh? thought Sonia. She knew that there was
nothing between her and Charles and the others. At this very moment, however, she couldn’t help but worry that
the man next to her would overthink and mind it. Therefore, after looking daggers at Asher with bloodshot eyes,
she hurriedly turned to look at the man next to her as Asher watched smugly. “Toby…”
Just as she wanted to say something, Toby suddenly let out a chuckle that caused her heart to skip a beat. Feeling
even more anxious, she called out again in a voice filled with apprehension, “Toby…”
Noticing that Sonia had started to panic, Asher could hardly hide his excitement. It works! Finally, I successfully
made Toby love her less. As long as Toby no longer cares so much about her, he definitely won’t marry her. If I had
known earlier that I’d succeed by saying so, I’d have said so at the beginning. Inwardly, he couldn’t help being
somewhat frustrated, but his frustrations vanished soon afterward. In any case, he had now succeeded. Even
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthough he had taken a few bad turns, it was enough that the outcome was what he wanted.
Seeing how Sonia looked at Toby nervously, Asher sneered smugly and intended to say something more to add
insult to injury for the purpose of making the couple break up right here. However, just when he wanted to do so,
Toby lifted Sonia’s face while looking at him with a chilling smile. “Who said that I’d blame her?”
Sonia was startled.
Asher was stunned as well, and he looked incredibly funny as his smug expression froze on his face. “P-President
Fuller, what do you mean?” His voice quavered somewhat as a feeling of unease arose inside him. He won’t blame
Sonia? Don’t tell me it’s really what I thought! If he doesn’t even blame her for this, is he still a man? Are there
people who like to get cuckolded nowadays?
“Didn’t I make myself clear?” Toby gently caressed Sonia’s lips with his thumb. “Indeed, she used to have a few
men around her in the past. But why should I blame her for that? We hadn’t started seeing each other at the time,
right? Now that we’re together, did you see those men showing up around her again?”
Stumped by Toby’s words, Asher was rendered speechless. Indeed, he hadn’t seen those men showing up at
Paradigm Co. for a long time. “Even so, it doesn’t prove that they never showed up again around Sonia. Perhaps it
was just that I didn’t see it,” Asher uttered between clenched teeth. Screw it! I have to sabotage their relationship
today, or I’ll be in trouble!
“Ha!” Sonia grabbed Toby’s wrist and took his hand off her chin. Staring at Asher, she said in a gloomy voice,
“President Dafoe, you really can’t wait to crush me to death, huh? You call me a family friend, but you lay traps for
me with every word you say. You can’t bear to see me doing well, can you? Well, I dare not have a family friend like
you. Otherwise, I’ll probably die without knowing who killed me.”
