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

Chapter 944 Grace’s Reminder

Grace liked to use social media in the first place, so it was impossible for her to miss the current trending topics. Seeing Sonia and Toby openly show their love on the internet, she was honestly shocked. After all, she knew that Sonia had a gentle personality and didn’t like to show off too much in public. It was basically impossible for her to do something like showing affection on the internet.

As for Toby, the chances were even slimmer. He was always busy managing Fuller Group, so he wouldn’t have time to entertain the netizens on the internet. Besides, Toby was cold and arrogant, and he was not someone who would do something like this. However, the two who seemed least likely to show their affection were the ones who did.

Because of that, Grace was utterly surprised and quickly made a phone call to Sonia.

“Sonny, you and Toby really caused a huge commotion. Not only are the stock prices of the company rising, but the entertainment industry has also turned lively. Your display of affection really shocked the world.” Grace laughed.

Sonia’s face flushed red as she said a little embarrassedly, “I just wanted to show off the gifts he gave me to my employees, but I didn’t expect everyone to post it on the internet and turn it into such a big deal.”

“But on the bright side, letting everyone know your feelings with Toby appropriately can serve as a deterrent to people who have ulterior motives. Just some time ago, I heard Charles talk about the person who tried to steal your husband and then apologized to the whole internet…”

“Anya,” Sonia reminded her.

Grace hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes, that’s her. You can let her and the other women who are aiming for Toby see how good your relationship is with him, and they can never stand a chance.”

Hearing that, Sonia laughed. “I didn’t think that far, but now that you’ve said it, I guess it really is a good thing.”

“Of course it is.” Grace scoffed. “There’s something I haven’t told you. A while ago, when I went for afternoon tea with some other ladies, Mrs. Wallace, whose family runs a seafood market, knows that I’m close with you, so she was trying to pry on your relationship with Toby from me.”

“Something like that happened?” Sonia was stunned.

“Of course.” Grace pouted. “Mrs. Wallace has a daughter who is about your age. Recently, I heard that there’s been a problem with the Wallace Family’s seafood market. Apparently, they’re being investigated by the authorities for substituting fresh fish with stale fish. In order to solve this matter, the Wallace Family asked about young men in the circle who were not married yet, and they wanted to marry their daughter off so that their in-laws could help them out. Let alone Seafield, who else is better than Toby in the country? So, they were eyeing him and wanted to make a move on him through me.”

Sonia pursed her red lips as her expression sank. She felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly. No one would feel happy thinking about the possibility of their lover being snatched away.

Grace continued, “After I found out about Mrs. Wallace’s plans, I couldn’t tell her honestly, of course. If I did that, I’d be betraying you. So, I refused and gave her a piece of my mind. You have no idea how terrible she looked back then.”

Saying that, she covered her mouth with a hand and laughed.

Sonia smiled as well. “Thank you, Mrs. Lane.”

“What are you thanking me for? Anyone who encounters this kind of thing would hate it.” Grace waved her hand. “But, Sonny, I don’t think the Wallace Family will give up just like that. In the past two days, they’ve been asking around about invitations to the business banquet within the circle.”

“Invitations to the banquet?” Sonia frowned.

Grace hummed in reply. “That’s right. This time, the people invited to the business banquet are the ones who have more power in Seafield.”

“I know.” Sonia nodded. “I received an invitation too.”

Logically speaking, with Paradigm Co.’s current state, she wasn’t supposed to receive an invitation. However, she had already gotten back together with Toby at that time, so the Lore Family would naturally not forget about her. In other words, she only got the invitation because of her relationship with Toby.

Speaking of which, she had also commissioned a custom-made dress from a designer for this banquet. At first, she had already gotten her dress, but it was ruined by that woman, Anya. Thinking about it now, she started fuming again. The most disgusting one of them all was still that short-sighted man, Connor.

Grace didn’t know what Sonia was thinking, but she was not surprised to hear that she had also received the invitation. After all, with Toby there, it would be surprising if she didn’t receive it.

“The Wallace Family isn’t on the invitation list this time, so they’ve been looking for connections in the circle for the past two days in order to get one. At the same time, I also heard that they’ve found a well-known stylist to dress their daughter up. I’m guessing the Wallace Family just wants to take their daughter to the banquet to find a target. Toby will definitely be going this time, right?” Grace asked.

Sonia nodded. “He will. He didn’t want to at first. With his status and the strength of the Fuller Group now, there’s no need for him to take part in this kind of banquet that isn’t of any help to him and the Fuller Family. He’s mainly going to accompany and support me. After all, I need to get an exhibition platform in the Lore Family’s mall this time.”

When Grace heard what she said, her expression immediately turned serious. “I knew it. The Wallace Family will definitely make a move on Toby when the time comes. Even if they don’t target him, they would still go for other young men. Sonny, you have to take good care of Toby when the time comes. I’m afraid that he wouldn’t be able to stand the temptation. After all, men will always be men. You can’t guarantee that they’d be able to hold out when someone offers themselves to them.”

“I will.” Sonia clenched her phone and squeezed out a smile before she replied, “But, I trust that he wouldn’t do anything to hurt me.”

Although she trusted that Toby would not betray her, she still hated it when people tried to snatch him away from her. She hoped that the Wallace Family would know their place and find another man. As long as they didn’t make a move on her husband, she would turn a blind eye to it. However, if the Wallace Family really dared to snatch her man away, she wouldn’t hold back. The Wallace Family was not as powerful as Paradigm Co., so it wasn’t impossible for her to deal with them.

“I know you trust him, and I do as well, but there are some things that just having trust wouldn’t be enough. Anyway, just be careful,” Grace advised with a sigh.

Sonia nodded. “All right, thank you for your reminder, Mrs. Lane.”

“Still, the Wallace Family is really ridiculous. Even I, a woman who doesn’t understand business, know what this banquet represents, but the Wallace Family is trying to use this occasion to find a man for their daughter without even being afraid of offending the Lore Family.” Grace’s face was full of contempt and ridicule.

Sonia knew the reason and replied indifferently, “That’s because this is the only opportunity for the Wallace Family to reach out to many young men and top families at once, so of course they wouldn’t want to miss it. They’d rather risk offending the Lore Family just to give it a try. If they succeed, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Lore Family dealing with them and they can just ask their daughter’s family to help them settle things. After all, the people who can receive invitations from the Lore Family are on the same level as them, and the Lore Family will not truly become enemies with a family that is almost as powerful as them, so they can only bear it.”

“So that’s the case. I was just wondering.” Grace came to a realization.

Sonia turned the pen in her hand. “But it’s only on the condition that they succeed. If they don’t, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lore Family takes revenge on them.”

“Of course. Isn’t it a slap to the Lore Family’s face if they tried to sell their daughter off at their banquet?” Grace laughed.

Although Sonia also had a faint smile on her face, it did not reach her eyes.

“All right, let’s not talk about these things. Anyway, Sonny, just take care of yourself by then,” Grace reminded her worriedly.

It was only then that Sonia showed a sincere smile. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Lane. I know when to stop.”

“That’s good. Oh, right.” Suddenly recalling something, Grace asked in concern, “How is Daphne?”
