Chapter 55

Charles stood up to pour Ryan a glass of red wine. “President Drewyou must be joking. After her divorce, she didn’t even receive a single cent from her ex husband. He’s a miser, so how could he possibly help my baby?”

“You didn’t even receive a single cent?”

Ryan stared at her with a slightly

shocked look on his face.

“Yeah. That’s not all-she didn’t even

 

get any property or car, so would you be kind enough to give my baby some leeway and sell your business to her?”

Charles placed his arms around

 

Sonia’s shoulders as he said that.

Sonia, however, flung his hand aside. “President Drew, ignore all of his nonsense. I was the one who didn’t want anything.”

Ryan took his glass of wine and was just about to say something when he saw a couple walking toward them, hand-in-hand.

“President Drew, it’s a surprise to see

you here. Miss Reed and Mr. Lane are here too. This is such a coincidence.” Tina smiled demurely as she greeted

you.”

Tina’s expression stiffened in response but she quickly regained her composure soon after that. “Mr. Lane, your words are as scathing as usual.”

aura.

Sonia noticed his darkened expression and quickly tugged on Charles’ arm. “That’s enough. Stop it. Don’t forget what I mentioned to you earlier.”

However, Charles shrugged in

response as he murmured, “Don’t

worry. I know what I’m doing.”

The sight of the duo whispering to

each other was unbearable for Toby.

Just then, he let go of Tina and

glanced at Ryan. “President Drew, have

“I haven’t made up my mind yet.” Ryan pointed at Sonia. “Your ex-wife is interested in my company too. She’s negotiating with me right now and the terms she offered are exactly the same

as yours. I had assumed that you were

the one who gave her the idea.”

Toby’s eyes flickered for a moment, which went by unnoticed. “No. I am

quite intent on the acquisition of your

company so there’s no reason for me

to give this up just like that.”

Sonia grimaced upon hearing that and immediately, the seed of suspicion disappeared from her mind completely. ThatrightHe doesnhavgood impression of me so there’s no way he
