“Miss Reed, don’t go too far.” Tina was frustrated, but she had to endure it. “My father already apologizedto you about the video. Why are you still reluctant to give up? You even want to Snatch the marriageproposal necklacemy boyfriend gave me?”Sonia raised an eyebrow and laughed.“You got together with President Fullera few days after I divorced him. Iwonder if you’d been coveting himbecause you couldn’t wait to be Mrs.Fuller!”“What nonsense are you talking about?You’re obviously the one-”“And Miss Gray, I have no intentions ofToby’s gaze darkened.After a moment of silence, he handedthe jewelry box containing the Ocean’sHeart to Sonia.Tina panicked when she saw this, and she pulled on his sleeve. “Toby, this isthe necklace you proposed to me with.Don’t=”“Your father specially organizedtoday’s banquet to celebrate yourrecovery and discharge. It won’t be good to ruin the atmosphere.” Toby calmed her down. “It’s just anecklace. After this, I’ll ask Tom to replace a betterone and propose to you with that.”

When the guests heard this, they allsnatching anything from you,” Sonia interrupted before Tina could say much. “You’re the one who wantsto give me a thank-you gift. I only have eyes for the Ocean’s Heart.”Tina was rendered speechless. Biting her lips, she stood there as her face grew increasingly pale, like awhite flower about to wither.As he watched on, Charles feltparticularly good, and he almostapplauded Sonia.“President Fuller, you have to saysomething. Don’t be silent,” Charlescalled out. “Is it possible that you’re not a man of vour word?”became envious. “You’re so blessed, Miss Gray. No matter how rare the piece of jewelry is, PresidentFuller would have a way to buy it for you!”After complimenting Tina, they satirized Sonia once more.Tina’s expression improved when Toby said this, and she nodded obediently. “I’ll listen to you.”As Sonia listened to their conversation,all she felt was the irony of thesituation.She had been married to Tony for sixyears. Forget jewelry; he had nevereven bought her a piece of clothing.Even their wedding ring was bought byher.Now, looking at how he was treating Tina, Sonia felt like her life was a joke.Sonia suppressed the sadness in herheart and accepted the jewelry box with a bright smile on her face. “This issuch a rare piece of jewelry, yet you’re

giving it to me just like that. PresidentFuller, it seems like you love Miss Grayso much that you can’t bear to let hersuffer any grievances at all.”The woman spoke so enigmaticallythat it made Toby uncomfortable, sohe replied lightly, “I’ve given you theOcean’s Heart, and President Gray hasapologized to you, Sonia, don’t pursue the matter of the video anymore.”“Okay!” Sonia readily agreed.She picked up a glass of red wine from the table, then tipped it toward Toby. “President Fuller, Miss Gray,may you live a long and happy life together, and I hope you have plenty of babies.”With that, she cocked her head backand drank the wine. After setting downthe glass, she turned and left.“President Fuller, I have to thank youtoo.” Charles grinned, “If it weren’t foryour indifference, my baby wouldn’thave come to her senses. Thank youfor being so kind as to let my baby go.She deserves the best.”Charles picked up the butterfly handbag on the table, which Sonia forgot to take, then said warmly, “Let’s“Let’s go!” Charles held Carl’sshoulders and they left together, all thewhile complaining, “The air here is toofilthy. I’d feel sick if I stayed here forone more second!”

As Toby watched them leave, hisbrows furrowed, and there was anindescribable feeling of irritability in hisheart that wouldn’t go away.Sonia was a low-key person; it was asurprise that she had such anoutstanding suitor.As soon as Sonia got into the car, she closed her eyes and rested for less than a minute before Charlesand Carlgot in.“Baby, you did a great job just now. Tsk.did you see the look on Tina’s face?She looked like she wanted nothingmore than to eat you up.” Charles gotinto the driver’s seat, fastened his seatbelt, and burst out laughing. “It felt sogood watching you that I wanted toapplaud you!”Carl entered the back seat and handed the butterfly handbag to Sonia. “You left it on the table and forgotto take it.”“I left in a rush and didn’t notice” Sonia spoke as she retrieved her handbag.Carl glanced at the jewelry box placednext to the seat, then asked Sonia,“Sonia, do you… still care about Toby?Did you want the Ocean’s Heartbecause you didn’t want to see himand Tina together?”

Charles was driving as he looked atSonia in the rearview mirror, waiting forher answer.“We’ve gotten a divorce, so why shouldI still care about him?” Sonia smiled. 1 didn’t expect that Tina’s mind would work so fast. She divertedeveryone’s attention from the video by trying to give me a thank-you gift.”As she spoke, she opened the jewelry box and showed it to Carl. “Tvechecked, and the jewelry industry’sfamous ‘k’ is the one who designed theOcean’s Heart. The value is estimatedto exceed 100 million. How can I not want such easy money? Don’t youagree?”Charles snorted. “A necklace worth100 million? Baby, you’re awesome.You took a huge chunk out of Toby!”“Of course I know that I’m awesome.” Sonia hummed, then covered the jewelry box and threw it to him.“Find a good channel and sell it for me. 100 million, Keep the extra money as my payment to you for yourhard work.”“Okay!”When Carl saw Sonia’s capriciousexpression, his brows eased, becauseit didn’t seem like she was lying.“Sonia, seeing you like this, I’mrelieved.”“Baby, why don’t I replace you anotherboyfriend?” Charles smiled, then heglanced at Sonia in the rearview mirror.

“Tell me about your requests, or youand I can get together too. After all, my mom quite likes you–“No way!” Before he could continue, hewas interrupted by Carl.“Why not?” Charles rolled his eyes, then bragged, “Not only am I handsome, I’m also multi-talented. Igrew up withSonia, so I’m the best candidate to beher husband!”Carl pursed his lips together, and theaura he exuded was a little cold. “Youdon’t care about family.”“Huh? How would you know if I careabout family? You’ve never lived withme!” Charles looked at Carl’sexpression in the rearview mirror, then suddenly smiled. “Hey, do you fancy Sonia too?Sonia was taken aback. When sherecovered, she immediately reachedout and punched Charles. “Shut up.He’s only twenty-two! He’s a child!”“He’s a twenty-two-year-old man. Hehas nothing to do with the word ‘child”anymore.” Charles proceeded with asmirk. “Carl, tell me: Are you a virgin?”No matter how gentle Carl was, he wasstill a little embarrassed by Charlesquestion. He coughed. “Yes…“Do you have any intentions toward

Tina?”Seeing as Charles was getting bolder with his questions with no sign of shutting up, Sonia caught sightof thechocolate bar in the middle row’s armrest compartment, then she immediately tore it open and stuffed itinto his mouth.Charles ate the large piece ofchocolate and whimpered, almostchoking to death“That’s how he is. He speaks without afilter,” Sonia said to Carl. “Don’t mindhim. Don’t let his questions get to you.”Carl hummed an answer but kept hisgaze on Sonia’s face.After hesitating for a moment, he wasabout to say something to Sonia when the phone in his pocket suddenlyVibrated.Carl glanced at his phone after taking itout, and his expression changedslightly. Then, he moved to the otherside of the car and lowered his voice.“What’s the matter?”After the phone call ended, Carl told Charles, “I have something to deal with. Just drop me at theintersection upahead.”“Was it your agent?” Sonia asked, “Howabout you let Charles take you there?”Carl gave a faint smile, then in a warm

and soft voice, he said, “That’s okay. My car is on the way. Charles should send you home early so thatyou can have a good rest.”Upon hearing the young man’sstatement, Sonia nodded reluctantly.Soon, Carl was out of the car.When the car drove away, Sonia pokedher head out slightly and saw Carlstanding tall and straight by theroadside with a well-defined profile…As she studied him, the person in herAs she studied him, the person in hereyes seemed to turn into Toby fromeight years ago.
