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.

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.

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

The Lane Family wasn’t involved in the same field of business, so they had never explored such topics. At the same time, Charles was also well aware of the fact that the social event had nothing to do with him—he wouldn’t be invited to be a part of such projects even if he could

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?
