The next day, Toby sat by his desk with the red divorce certificate still sitting on the desk.
After looking at it for a while, he threw it in the trash can.
Right then, Tom stepped forward and respectfully said, “Sir, Chairman Gray of Triforce Enterprise is on the phone."
Tina’s father?
At once, Toby sorted out his emotions and took the call. “Uncle Gray.”
A middle-aged man with a hoarse voice spoke. “Toby, is Tina being good in your house these days? I haven’t had time to see her recently. It’s always my wife who's been accompanying her to relieve her boredom these days. I'm still afraid
that she II have complaints.”
Toby s voice was steady. “Uncle, rest assured. Tina is recovering well these days, and my mother has been accompanying her often as well.”
“Oh, that’s great, then.” Titus couldn’t help but pry. “I heard some news saying that Tina’s car accident six years ago was related to your ex-wife. Yesterday, Tina’s mother went to visit Tina and asked her a little bit about it, but Tina has been avoiding the topic all along. Toby, do you know what happened?”
Hearing this, Toby was startled. He pressed his lips tightly and didn’t speak immediately.
“Toby, are you listeningr
After a while, Toby frowned. “That car accident... did have something to do with Sonia Reed.”
Titus said with a long heart, “You also know that Tina is my only baby. The car accident six years ago almost broke me and my wife. After Tina woke up, the first person she wanted to see was you. I believe you can see how deep her love for you is. I know you can differentiate who is more important here—your ex-wife or Tina.”
Toby lowered his eyes. “Yes. I know.”
Titus seemed to be very satisfied by his answer. “Toby, I believe you will be the most worthy person for Tina.”
After he hung up the phone, Toby pondered for a moment.
After a long time, he called Tom in. “Help me with something.”
Meanwhile, Sonia, Carl, and Charles came out of the Paradigm Co.’s office building side-by-side.
