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

Chapter 1059

After Sonia finished her comment, Toby lifted his chin at Charles without masking his smug expression. Without words, he communicated, 'Look how well Little Leaf knows me.'

Charles fully understood Toby's expression and the corner of his lips twitched as his body was trembling.

This brat!

Needless to say, she did not miss any of their little interactions, but she played dumb since they would become childish whenever they were together. As long as it was not a physical fight, she might as well just let them be.

"Fine, fine." Charles waved his hand helplessly. "Even if it's a lie, I won't do anything to you anyway."

In other words, he did not blame her for it.

She smiled. "Thanks, Charles."

Again, he waved his hand in reply before Toby said, "Little Leaf, I didn't know that you have so much faith in me. I'm really happy to know that."

Sonia did not ask him about it, yet she already believed that he would not buy the story. Of course, he should be jumping in excitement for such a solid couple's trust!

She then poured him a glass of water. "That's because you know the entirety of the meeting. If you still couldn't believe it despite that, clearly, I have overestimated you."

"Don't worry. Your man ain't silly." He took over the glass. "Even if I know nothing, I won't doubt your loyalty. I know what kind of person you are."

She glared at him, but a smile appeared across her lips. Evidently, she was pleased by his answer.

"Right, Toby." Charles suddenly landed his gaze upon the man.

Toby frowned. "What?"

Charles crossed his legs. "What else? I just wanna know why you aren't doing anything to dwindle the rage on the Internet? It's been so long and you're letting them criticize Sonia? Although she said there's no need to rush since she's testing you, that shouldn't affect the test, right?"

"Test?" Toby turned to face Sonia. "What test?"

She had not expected Charles to be so outspoken by questioning Toby about the Internet rage as well as blurting the so-called test. She was in a bind, for it would be impossible to keep the truth from Charles later.

"Don't interrupt us." Although Charles was surprised by Toby's oblivion about her test, he was desperate to know the reason behind Toby's decision.

To him, dwindling the rage would not influence the test in any way, since it was neither a clarification nor a solution to the matter.

Toby glanced at her with an intense gaze for a moment before answering Charles' question, "Who says that I'm doing nothing?"

Both Sonia and Charles were put in a trance by that.

"You've done something?" asked Charles in shock.

Toby remained quiet while Sonia parted her lips to say something, but frowned soon after. She was not doubting Toby's words as there was no reason for him to lie.

But why is the issue still trending on the Internet?

That exact question was then brought up by Charles.

Toby's countenance dimmed and in a frosty voice, he recounted, "It's simple—someone's controlling it. Tom had the public relation department take action once he found out about the issue. They did as they were told, but it went trending again very quickly. There's a network company moderating it and I've confirmed it with the network engineers; they're clearly trying to keep me out of the way. My subordinates are looking into it to find out which network company it is. Once we get to the bottom of it, I'll never let them get away that easily."

That explains it.

Sonia snickered as she had a vague guess of which network company it was.

The network is the Lores' forte. Since Miss Lore is one of them, there's no way their network company won't listen to her orders—in the case where she actually tries to stop them. Ha.

"What? There's a network company behind this?" Charles was taken aback once again. "It's not the media trying to ride the wave by framing Sonia? I thought it's just something simple. Why is there a network company behind this? Is it not as simple as I thought?"

Toby looked at him as if he was an idiot. "Of course not. Do you think that an ordinary media would dare to frame my girlfriend without a backer?"

"I know that, but I merely thought they've gone mad for money and attention, so…" Charles' voice trailed off and he kept quiet in the end. It was because he realized how simple and foolish he was.

Toby sniggered. "I wonder how you took over the position as the president of Lane Corporation. It's been a decade since you're in business, hasn't it? Do you think someone would give their future away for a transience benefit?"
