Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again
Chapter 768

Chapter 768 Let Her Off

“What do I intend to do?” Toby narrowed his eyes, which were filled with a spine-chilling coldness. “She fell for me, didn’t she? Then I’ll have her apologize to Sonia in public and say why she is apologizing.”

“Man…” Tom inhaled sharply. He’s planning to embarrass her in front of the entire world.

Apologizing to Sonia and stating her reasons meant Anya would be telling the world that she had fallen for Toby, and she had challenged and threatened Sonia, Toby’s proper girlfriend. It meant that Anya was trying to be a secret lover.

If word of this got out, Anya would be cyberbullied to the ends of the earth. After all, almost everyone in this world hated secret lovers. Judging by Toby’s plans for Anya, Toby was definitely furious about it.

But it was also reasonable. Anya didn’t do much, but since she did what she did, she would have to take responsibility for her actions.

“Understood. I’ll get to it right—” Before Tom could finish, a knock on the door interrupted him.

Tom frowned and looked toward Toby.

After getting Toby’s permission, he turned to the door and asked in a displeased tone, “Who is it?”

It couldn’t have been a doctor or nurse.

Tim had just checked up on Toby, so he would’ve told the nurse that it wasn’t necessary to check again. Therefore, the visitor must have been someone else.

“Mr. Brown, it’s me, Anya Steinfeld,” a gentle female voice said from the other side of the door.

Tom raised an eyebrow. “President Fuller, it’s her!”

Speak of the devil. Moreover…

Tom didn’t look too good. “President Fuller, when I took her away last night, I warned her not to show up at the hospital. I said I would notify her if anything happens, but she actually still came, regardless.”

The look in Toby’s eyes grew cold as he heard Tom’s words. “It’s not too surprising, since she came into my ward after you left last night. Naturally, she wouldn’t listen to you and obediently wait like you told her to.”

“I’ve never seen such a shameless person,” Tom commented with a dark expression.

Toby waved his hand. “Deal with her. Tell her my intentions, and if she refuses, I won’t go easy on her,” Toby said emotionlessly, parting his thin lips.

Tom responded with a serious look, saying, “Understood. I’ll go right away.”

With that, he turned and walked toward the door, after which he quickly opened the door and went out. Toby frowned as he rubbed his temples.

Suddenly, the woman beside him turned around. One of her arms reached out of the blanket and landed right on his chest. Toby paused his actions, then looked down at her, only to be met with the woman’s pretty eyes. “You’re awake?”

Sonia nodded and leaned in closer to him, trying to replace a more comfortable position. Unfortunately, no matter how much she moved, she couldn’t replace a suitable spot. In the end, she simply raised her head and leaned it against his chest.

She seemed to have found her best position. Her eyebrows curved, and her arm moved from his chest to his waist as she hugged him. “This isn’t too bad.”

Toby watched as she hugged him like she would hug a human-shaped bolster, and he couldn’t help but laugh. After that, he held her shoulders as well. He pulled her closer to him so that she could hug him in a more natural position.

“Why didn’t you keep sleeping?” Toby asked.

Sonia looked up at him. “Do you really not know, or are you pretending?”

“Hm?” Confusion flitted across the deep pools of Toby’s eyes. He honestly didn’t know what she meant.

Sonia sighed in exasperation. “You were talking with Tom in whispers, but I could still hear it, you know.”

It hadn’t occurred to Toby that he was the one who had woken her up. He felt a little guilty as he coughed a little into his hand, then said, “Sorry, I didn’t think you’d hear it.”

“It’s okay.” Sonia waved her hand. “It’s not anything big, anyway. But do you really intend to let that Anya person apologize to me in public and state her reasons for her apology?”

“Of course,” Toby replied with a distant look. “If she dared to do it, then she would be brave enough to bear the consequences. This is all very fair, isn’t it? Moreover, you are my most treasured person, so if I don’t do anything after knowing how she treated you, I would not have the right to say that I love you.”

Sonia knew he was trying to bring her justice, and she felt warm inside as her lips curved into a smile. “Anya would definitely cry!”

“Hm?” Toby raised an eyebrow, then snorted. “She did it to herself; she doesn’t deserve to cry about it!”

Sonia chuckled. “No, I don’t mean it like that. I mean, she fell for you, right? She would be hurt to know that you gave her trouble on my behalf, so she’d for sure cry. After all, it’s more heartbreaking when the person she likes takes revenge on her, compared to me doing the same thing.”

Toby pinched her nose. “Next time, don’t put it like that. I don’t want to be the person she likes.”

Sonia laughed even louder, her body shaking. “All right, all right. I won’t.”

After laughing for a while, she recovered herself and looked up at the man. “But won’t this punishment be too severe? It’s okay if she apologized in public, but if she also mentions her reasons for apologizing, she would get criticized on the net. After all, netizens are never nice to someone who’s trying to get in between a relationship. Even if she isn’t a real secret lover, and she only challenged and threatened me to get me out, the netizens won’t go easy on her. I fear that she won’t be able to handle the cyberbullying and proceed to do something to herself.”

After all, cyberbullying was no joke, and the internet’s advancement had had its negative effects.

Sonia despised Anya and even hated her, but all Anya did was challenge and threaten Sonia. Anya didn’t really take any action. Hence, it would be overkill if Anya got cyberbullied. If she really took her own life because of it, her blood would be on their hands.

Toby saw the seriousness in Sonia’s expression, and he knew what she was worried about.

Actually, he had already thought about this possibility when he asked Tom to do the deed. However, he didn’t care because he could cover it up. But now that he saw Sonia’s expression, he hesitated a little.

“You don’t want her to state her reasons for her apology in public?” Toby asked as he looked at Sonia.

Sonia nodded. “It’s enough if she apologizes to me in public. If she does, the netizens can more or less guess the reasons. As long as we don’t state the reason clearly, the netizens won’t get overboard. She will be able to handle it, then. But if she mentions the reasons and really died because of cyberbullying, I won’t sleep in peace either. I’ll keep thinking that I’ve killed her indirectly.”

“That won’t happen!” Toby held her tightly and replied right away.

Sonia smiled half-heartedly. “Who knows? It’s always better to be careful, so let’s not take the risk. Just have her apologize and call it a day.”

“But don’t you feel wronged?” Toby frowned.

Sonia smiled. “I don’t feel wronged now that you took measures against Anya for my sake. At least I know that you won’t just stand by and watch me get bullied. You’ll help me, and I’m already happy enough to know that. Also, Anya isn’t the only one who likes you. There’s also Jessica and all the other women out there. If they all came to challenge me, then I wouldn’t be able to deal with so much injustice.”
