Titus smashed his phone on the ground in a fit of rage.
The screen on his phone smashed into pieces with a loud crash, which caused Julia to quickly come over to pat his chest. “What did Toby say to you that made you so angry?”
“He’s calling off the engagement!” he roared as he sat down angrily. “It seems like he’s really determined to call the engagement off this time and he’s even decided on the time to hold the press release.”
“What?! Does that mean we don’t have a chance to talk things through?” Julia’s mouth was agape while Titus sighed. “That’s right.”
“What’s going to happen to Tina now?” She couldn’t help but be anxious.
However, Titus didn’t answer her as he wasn’t in a good mood. What are they going to do? How would I know? If I have any idea, I wouldn’t be sitting here with all the pent-up anger!
The only reason why Triforce Enterprise could be one of the top ten enterprises in Seafield was solely due to the Fuller Group. Once Tina’s engagement to Toby was called off, Triforce Enterprise would immediately fall from its position and might even be pressured by other enterprises without the Fuller Group’s help.
After all, during these few months after she was engaged to Toby, Triforce Enterprise had been taking advantage of their relationship with Fuller Group to steal the resources of other enterprises, so Titus really didn’t want the engagement to be called off.
As he massaged his temples, Titus suddenly thought of an idea and turned toward Julia.
“What if we secure a done deal for Tina and
Toby?”
“Huh?” She looked confused as he explained with a dark expression, “As long as Toby has had a physical relationship with Tina, he would have no choice but to continue with the marriage unless he wants to be criticized for the rest of his life!”
She bit her lips. “Still... Wouldn’t that be illegal?”
“Of course. That’s the only way to maintain Tina and Toby’s engagement.” Titus stared at her intently. “Think about it. If the engagement is called off, other enterprises would start attacking us and their wives would laugh at us behind our backs as well. Do you want to be laughed at by others when you hang out with them? Don’t you want to spend money on clothes and beauty products as much as you like in the future?”
As soon as he said that, a fearful look flashed past Julia’s eyes before she quickly shook her head. “Of course I do!”
As she was someone born with a silver spoon, she never had to worry about money or inquire about the price of the things that she wanted to buy. So, she couldn’t imagine herself worrying about money whenever she wanted to buy anything in the future.
Moreover, all the other wives in their circle buttered up to her because of Toby. If he called off the engagement, her peers would stop treating her well and could even crack horrible jokes about her. She couldn’t help but shiver when she thought about that.
Upon hearing Julia’s reply, Titus smiled in satisfaction. “That’s why we have no choice but to do this!”
“Honey, how are you planning to do it, though?” she asked worriedly.
He narrowed his eyes. “It’s easy. I’ll get Tina to ask Toby to meet up at a hotel and ask her to drug him. When it’s about time, I’ll arrange for some reporters to head over there. If he still insists on calling the engagement off, he will definitely enrage the netizens and they will never let him or Fuller Group off the hook.”
“I get it now. You’re planning to use the public opinion to force Toby to marry Tina.” Julia nodded.
“That’s right. Now, I want you to contact Tina and get her to return home. We need to carry out our plans by tonight and we can’t delay it any longer,” Titus declared seriously.
She claimed with a conflicted tone, “Tina hasn’t been accepting any of my calls, though!”
Still, Titus couldn’t care less as he rose to his full height. “Continue calling her until she accepts it. After all, we don’t have much time.”
Immediately, Julia stopped talking and followed his instructions by contacting Tina.
On the other hand, a man was holding the ringing phone in an abandoned garage as he approached the other two men at the entrance.
