Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 493 Put on the Spot

When Charles caught sight of Toby and Lily, he curled his lips to give Toby a smirk. “President Fuller, your taste in women seems rather different nowadays. I have always assumed that you liked people like Tina, who look all innocent, weak, and pure. How did you end up with such a hot and feisty girl like her? On top of that, it seems like you guys also enjoy flirting with each other in public.”

Toby’s expression darkened the moment he heard Charles’s words. Immediately after that, Toby turned to give Lily a glare. “Let go of me.” He would have pulled his arm away from her, but he was worried that her dress would slip off her chest as she was wearing a strapless outfit. If that weren’t the case, Toby would have certainly shoved her away instead of speaking to her so nicely.

Lily didn’t seem to realize how displeased Toby was, so she pouted unhappily when she heard his orders.

“I’m your partner, President Fuller. Holding hands—”

“I told you to let go!” Toby cut her off heartlessly. The air around them seemed to turn cold, and Toby’s expression looked grimmer than before. The iciness in his tone of voice was too obvious to be ignored. Lily shuddered at the cold aura surrounding them, and she unconsciously let go of Toby’s arm. Her face had turned into the color of paper.

Toby spoke without any expression on his face.

“I told you about this before. I just want you to stand still and look pretty, okay? Don’t you dare mess things up for me—I’ve already told you that I will immediately cancel the partnership with the McRae Family if something like this happens. I can’t believe you completely ignored my orders.”

“I’m sorry, President Fuller. I… I’ll learn from my mistakes.” Panic spread across Lily’s face when she heard Toby’s threat to cancel the partnership with the McRaes.

He was the one who had provoked Toby, after all, which meant he was the reason Toby targeted Lily and placed Lily in such an awkward situation. Once Charles recognized that he was at fault, he no longer lounged around just to enjoy the show. Instead, he straightened his back and cleared his throat before speaking. “Well, Toby, she might have made a mistake, but I don’t think you have to cancel the partnership with her family, right? Isn’t that a little

Sonia was stunned to hear that she had been in a bad mood for so long. According to the assistant’s description, Sonia had been in a bad mood for most of the day, and she had only relaxed a little after receiving Charles’s text. She believed that she felt relieved after concluding that Toby and Lily would never get married to one another. Does that mean I’m happy because Toby and Lily won’t get married? At that thought, all sorts of mixed emotions surfaced in Sonia’s eyes. Why should I be happy after knowing that they won’t get married? What
