Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Sonia was already in a bad mood, but she
had never expected that Carl would send
her a gift even though he was in Palmont.
Receiving the present had relieved her of
her negative emotions.
After she replied to his message, she wore
the ring on her ring finger to cover the marks of her previous wedding ring.
When Toby saw Sonia’s cheerful smile, the
expression in his eyes immediately sank.
Cynthia had never expected someone to present Sonia with such an expensive gift, which made her annoyed and jealous. She
suddenly remembered something and
intentionally asked in a loud volce, “Miss Reed, didn’t you say that your boyfriend is Charles7 You also used his name to enter this club. On the other hand, Mr. Lee is the male model who was involved in some rumors with you, right? I bet you guys are more than just friends for him to send you such an expensive gift.” She snorted coldly before she added, “I even heard rumors that you might have another man, which is
why you wanted to divorce President
Fuller. I didn’t believe it at first, but now it
seems like the rumors are true!”
Sonia merely gave a cold laugh. As for the
reasons for wanting a divorce from Toby
even if others don‘t know it, I bet he knows.
She looked at Toby with the expectation
that he would clarify things for her, but he
merely sat there with Tina in his arms and a cold look in his eyes without moving. Well, didn’t see everything earlier? What aml expecting?
When the tattoo on Sonia’s waist was completely removed, the slight fire within her was completely extinguished.
“Miss Reed, say something!” Cynthia continued to force her. “Does Charles
know about Mr. Lee’s present? Does he
know that you are cheating on him?”
“It’s a beautiful room, but why is there a
sparrow here?” At this moment, Charles’ voice rang in the room. Right after he
asked that question, he walked into the
room with a black shirt and a disdainful
expression on his face. “This sparrow is
noisy and annoying. I wish I could cut her tongue and make her shut the hell up.”
His vicious words had stunned Cynthia’s tongue into silence as she subconsciously staggered backward by a few steps.
As Charles stood right in front of her and appraised her from head to toe, he clucked his tongue. “Why are you retreating? Are you scared? Do you think you’re that
Sparrow?”
“N-No,” she stammered.
“I think you are. You sound like the
sparrow I’m talking about.” With that, he
pulled her hair and slammed her head int
the table where they had played poker earlier. Then, he asked casually, “Who’s
free to pass me a knile?”
Rebecca immediately snatched the knife from the fruit platter and passed it to Charles while she cared to comment, “This knife is extremely sharp. Be careful not to hurt yourself.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Cynthia’s legs trembled and she immediately burst into tears. “T-Tina… Melody…”
However, the entire room fell into extreme
silence as no one actually spoke up for
her. Tina had grabbed Toby’s sleeves and
wanted to stand up in anger. However, he
pressed her down and signaled for her to
sit down.
He wanted to see how far Charles was
willing to go to take revenge for Sonia
“Why? Have you all become mute?” Charles looked around his surroundings and was rather surprised to see even Tina and Toby there. With a cold snort, he turned around to look at Rebecca, who had passed him the knife. “Tell me, did they bully my baby just now?”
“It’s not just bullying!” She immediately
rushed over and spilled the beans.
Upon listening to Rebecca’s explanation,
Charles shot a glance at Toby and snorted
coldly for the second time. Then, he
pushed Cynthia aside before he advised
Sonia, “Why don’t you head to our room
first? Once I’ve sorted out the matters
here, I’ll head over.”
“It’s okay. Let’s go.” Sonia grabbed Charles” arm as she didn’t want him to have a grudge with the Stryder Family because of her. “Celebrating your birthday is more
important.”
However, her movement was reflected in
Toby’s eyes, which made his gaze even
deeper.
“That won’t do. You are being bullied here. As your childhood friend, I can’t simply
stand aside and watch.” Charles waved at
Rebecca to ask her to bring Sonia away.
Til just teach them a lesson. I won’t hurt
them.”
“Let’s go, President Reed, Charles will
know what to do.” With that she yanked
Sonia out of the room.
He quickly walked to the poker table and found a place to sit down. “Let’s play a few more rounds. You can choose three people whom you like to play the game with.”
Then, he lowered his head and took a puff from his cigarette before he casually added, “If any of you wins, I will give you 10 million. On top of that, I will kneel
before you and address you as ‘my lord’. If
I win against you all, you just have to remove your clothes and leave the room in that manner.”
Compared to Charles’ bet, it was nothing
for them to remove their clothes. His proposition had caused the rest of the
women in the room to be slightly moved.
we win, we would get 10 million!
After being annoyed by his arrogant attitude, Melody walked over in large strides after gritting her teeth. Then, she pulled the chair to his right and sat down as she laughed coldly. “Charles, I’ll be waiting for you to call me your lord!”
Charles playfully leaned against his chair.
“Sure. Who else is in? Let’s start soon.
After that, I’m heading over to accompany
my baby.”
After all, she was there. If she did not say
anything, the rest did not dare to make a move even though they wanted to join.
Melody chose a few other women who
were good at poker before she looked at
Tina.
Even though Melody had said nothing, Tina understood her implicit words
*Toby Mr. Lane is going overboard. Why don’t you help us out?” Tina asked softly She knew that Toby was good at poker and that Charles might not be able to win
against him.
However, Toby merely sat there without
moving. He then responded in a low voice, “I still have some emails to settle. You can go ahead to play with him.”
She did not expect that he would reject
her. Even though her body froze in that
instant, she quickly smiled. “Alright. Wait
for me for a while more then.”
Charles did not feel pressured when he
played poker with the three other women.
He had played the came aggressively and
ruthlessly
Hefore they wrapped up the last round, he impatiently knocked on the table. “Are you quys idiots? You are so slow at playing the game. Could you be faster?”
His words made their faces blush red in
anger.
Tina had made a self proclamation that her skills in poker were excellent. She thought that with the three of them against
Charles, one of them would at least win.
Unexpectedly, no matter what she played,
he had followed suit and was alming at
her.
Before they could even finish the game, Tina had already taken most of her clothes
with only her strappy white camisole
remaining
“I win!” He revealed his cards again.
Tina secretly gritted her teeth. She could
tell that he was aiming at her to avenge
Sonia.
After Charles flicked away the ashes from his cigarette, he prompted her, “What are you waiting for, Miss Gray? Take your clothes off!”
