Chapter 516 Charles’ Selfishness

Both man and woman were standing in front of the railing, and they had their backs turned against Toby. Toby couldn’t see their faces, so he couldn’t tell what they were talking about. However, when he realized that both of them had kept a distance of more than ten inches between each other, his expression softened a little.

“When did Charles arrive?” Toby asked coldly.

Tom took a glance at his wristwatch before answering. “About ten minutes ago.”

 

Toby nodded. “Why are you looking for me?”

“Old Mrs. Fuller wants you to go over,” Tom explained.

“I’ll go to her now. I want you to stay here and keep an eye on them. If Charles gets any closer to Sonia, I want you to separate them from each other,” Toby ordered.

The corner of Tom’s lips twitched when he heard Toby’s words. Can you stop acting like a kid, President Fuller? Of course, Tom didn’t reveal his true opinions and merely pushed his glasses up his nose as he agreed to Toby’s request. “I got it, President Fuller.” Toby took one last glance at Sonia and Charles before he walked off to look for Rose.

Meanwhile, on the balcony, Charles swirled his wine glass as he looked at the dejected woman whose gaze was fixed on the floor. “What is it? Are you in a bad mood?” he asked worriedly. “I told you so much, but you barely responded to what I said.”
