Chapter 951 The Fatal Blow
“You’ve got the wrong idea, Sonia. I’m your family friend, so how can I possibly not wish you well?” Asher was a sly old fox in every sense of the word, so he could keep his countenance even when Sonia exposed his dark side. “I don’t mean anything else by saying these things. I just thought that since President Fuller and you are a couple, you should let him know some of your past instead of hiding it from him, or it’ll be unfair to him. What do you think?”
Sonia sneered. “President Dafoe, you always sound like you have some sort of moral authority.”
“You’ve got to be joking Sonia.”
“Too bad, though.” Sonia stared at him frostily. “Do you think Toby is unaware of what you just said?”
“What?” Asher was startled.
Sonia continued, “Or do you think that you—an outsider—know more than he does?” At this moment, she had regained her composure and calmed down. At first, she had really worried that Toby would mind what Asher had said. She was indeed very thick with Charles and the two other men, but it was true that there was nothing between them. She had a clear conscience about her relationship with them, but she feared that Toby would overthink things and become jealous. After all, this man would get jealous over something as minor as a phone call from another man. It would be strange that he didn’t become jealous after she told him that they had been close in the past. And when he did, she’d have to placate him, not to mention the chances of her failing to pacify him. This was what she really worried about when she heard Asher’s words.
