Toby nodded emotionlessly. “That’s right. All of them!”
Tom’s lips twitched. “President Fuller, wouldn’t that be too much? I just ate breakfast not long ago—”
“Eat!” Toby interrupted.
At this moment, Tom looked like he was about to cry as he held the breakfast with a portion enough for
two. Revenge. This is definitely a revenge for what he said earlier! If only I knew how petty he was, I
shouldn’t have said so much! I really miscalculated this time! While he stared at the paper bag that he
held, he couldn’t help but shake his head bitterly.
As the time slowly passed by, it was soon 10:00AM. When Sonia finished dealing with her documents,
she gave them to Daphne before turning to the computer and contemplated whether she should watch
Toby’s press release.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to take a look. I mean, why not? It would be a waste if
I miss out on watching the cancellation of Tina’s engagement.
With that, Sonia navigated her mouse toward Fuller Group’s official website. In the livestream, Toby
was standing on the podium of the meeting room with a microphone in his hand while he stoically
stared at the reporters below him.
Meanwhile, his gaze had intimidated all of the reporters present, which rendered the initially noisy
meeting room quiet almost immediately. On the other hand, the entire barrage screen was filled with
comments that complimented him for his looks as well as those who were curious about the context of
the press release.
Still, many of the viewers had already figured that the press release would be related to Tina. After all,
it was obvious as to why Toby held a press release almost immediately after what had happened to her
yesterday night.
“Have you guys finally decided to shut up?” Toby finally asked as the reporters below him bobbed their
heads up and down like elementary kids, causing all of the online viewers to laugh.
It was a well known fact that reporters could be really annoying and courageous and they would risk
everything including their own life for juicy information. Yet, they looked like they were mice that had
seen a cat when they saw Toby. As expected, nothing was invincible in this world.
“Since everyone is silent now, I shall now explain why I have decided to hold a press release today,
which is related to my engagement with the Gray Family. I hereby announce that my engagement with
Miss Gray has officially ended from today onward!” Toby declared in a calm manner as he stared at the
camera.
As expected, none of the reporters or the livestream viewers were shocked as it was something
predicted. It was normal for Toby to call off the engagement because of what happened to Tina. It was
already hard for a man to accept the fact that his significant order was assaulted; it would even be
exceptionally arduous for elite families due to their reputation. Hence, none of the audience members
thought that it was wrong for him to revoke the engagement.
Still, there were a few who thought that he went overboard as he shouldn’t have called off the
engagement when she was in such a situation. It would’ve been devastating for her to additionally deal
with the pain of her engagement being called off. Nevertheless, these people were quickly shut down
by the other netizens who were more level-headed.
At the same time, Sonia, who was watching from her laptop, understood at that moment that Toby was
no longer associated with Tina from now on. However, she couldn’t help but feel like laughing as Tony
and Tina were engaged in a highly prolific manner only three months ago. Although she had ruined
their engagement ceremony in the end, the entire world was still aware that Toby and Tina were
officially engaged. Now, the same couple that used to flaunt their relationship everywhere became
everyone’s laughing stock.
The news of Tina being assaulted became everyone’s gossip material and she probably wouldn’t want
to leave her house anymore. As for him, no one dared to make fun of him because of his status.
However, they would definitely laugh at him behind closed doors for being cheated on.
At this moment, Sonia had a gloating look in her eyes as she played with her pen.
On the other hand, Carl, Charles and Zane were all watching the livestream at their respective houses
as well. Upon hearing Toby’s announcement that he was calling off his engagement with Tina, all of
them were not elated with the news—even though the three of them had different expressions. They all
really wanted Toby to be trapped with her forever. However, they also knew that it was impossible, so
they could only watch as he called off his engagement with Tina.
At the press release, one of the reporters asked, “President Fuller, are you calling off the engagement
on your own accord? Or, have you discussed it with the Gray Family?”
Toby glanced at the reporter. “What’s the difference between those two? Stop asking questions that are
wasting everyone’s time. Next!”
Immediately, the reporter’s face flushed before he sat down.
Another reporter then stood up as well. “President Fuller, I’ve heard from my sources that you’ve been
wanting to call off the engagement with Miss Gray for a while now. Is that true?”
As soon as that question came forth, everyone’s eyes brightened. President Fuller already had the
intention to call off the engagement with Miss Gray previously? Looks like there’s more to this than
meets the eye.
Toby narrowed his eyes. “Where did you hear that from?”
Instead of hiding the truth, the reporter answered, “I have a friend who works in Triforce Enterprise. He
overheard it when President Gray was on the phone with someone else.”
At that, Toby raised his head a little. “You’re right; I was already preparing to call off the engagement
with Miss Gray before yesterday night’s events.”
What he said immediately shocked all of the reporters as well as the livestream viewers. At the same
time, they all couldn’t help but wonder why Toby wanted to do so. Even Sonia was curious about it.
Although Tyler had mentioned that Toby was preparing to call off his engagement to Tina, he didn’t
mention the reason behind it, so Sonia was quite curious to know about it as well. Apart from her,
Charles, Zane and Carl were just as inquisitive as they intently stared at Toby on the screen.
“Could you tell us the reason why, President Fuller?” the reporter asked without bothering to mask his
excitement
Toby pursed his lips before he answered, “I can’t continue being together with a calculative and vicious
woman who takes advantage of me.”
This immediately caused an uproar. Calculative and vicious. These two words were enough for
everyone to imagine all sorts of things.
At the same time, Titus, who was still in the hospital ward, was so pissed off that he almost threw the
remote control toward the television when he heard that.
Julia started to tear up. “How could Toby say that? Isn’t calling off the engagement already enough?
Why would he still say those words to destroy Tina’s image? Is he trying to ruin her life?”
Since Toby had publicly made his claim, most would definitely assume that his words were true—Tina
was a vicious woman. After all, no one would believe that a president of a huge enterprise would lie in
front of the public.
Tina, who had been labeled as a vicious woman, would be placed under the spotlight right after. Even if
the news of her assault would soon be forgotten, people would still remember her as a vicious woman
and no one would dare to approach her. Moreover, her familial education and her parents’ attitude
would be brought into question as well. People would start to keep their distance from the Gray Family
and might even discriminate against them.
While Julia, the family housewife, was worried about all these, Titus had already pondered the
possibilities of it happening as he gritted his teeth and glared at Toby from the television screen.
However, Titus didn’t say anything and no one could tell what he was thinking about.
At the same time, Sonia, who was still at Paradigm Co., never expected Toby to reveal that Tina was
vicious in front of the public. Although he didn’t reveal what Tina did, his accusation alone was enough
to trigger everyone’s imagination to wildly roam.
What Toby just did had pushed Tina off the cliff, making it hard for her to rise in society again. Sonia
thought, Why would he do that, though? Is it just because Tina has impersonated me?
Even Zane was shocked. Still, a knowing smile appeared on his face after he overcame his initial
shock. “You desire for the ones whom you love to live and the ones you hate to die. Toby Fuller, you’re
indeed a terrifying man!”
