Chapter 492 Lily

Sonia curled her lips into a bitter smile when she thought about how Charles had invited her to the same party. What’s going on? I’m glad that I rejected him. Otherwise, Toby might think that I went to the party with the intention of appearing in front of him. Hmph! I’m not going to give him the opportunity to look down on me!

Yet, for some reason, Sonia felt her chest tightening whenever she thought about Lily, the girl whom Toby had asked to be his partner. Sonia pulled her chair back and sat down before she moved her mouse to search for Lily’s social media profile. When Sonia saw Lily’s posts of luxury bags, cars, shoes, and makeup products, she couldn’t help but squeeze her delicate brows together. Lily’s personal profile literally screams, ‘I’m proud of being rich’. This is so typical of a nouveau riche. Well, I don’t think she’s a good fit for Toby. Her looks, her family background, and her personal values don’t seem to match Toby’s at all. They don’t suit each other! If Toby actually gets married to Lily someday, I’m definitely going to question his taste in women.

There was a panicked smile on Sonia’s face. “W-What is it?” Sonia stuttered. Sh*t. Why am I acting like a guilty person? I was just scrolling through someone’s profile—what’s wrong with that?
