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?

Toby’s expression darkened the moment he heard Charles’s words.

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

If they were planning to get married, Toby wouldn’t have embarrassed his wife-to-be in public. That’s why I think their marriage is impossible.

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.
