C8 Do You Regret Breaking up with Her?

At Fuller's Mansion, Ruth Lee was busy directing the servants to erase every trace of Sonia Reed's presence. Her bedsheets, slippers, apron, and even her dining utensils were all discarded.

"What are you doing?" Toby Fuller asked with a slight frown upon his return.

Ruth Lee huffed, "Why should we keep Sonia Reed's things? Khloe will be living here soon." She quickly approached him, "Toby, you've already divorced Sonia. You've worked hard for your money, and she won't get a penny of it!"

He responded calmly, "She didn't ask for anything."

Ruth Lee was incredulous, "Impossible! Without a dime to her name, how could she resist taking a big chunk from you? Where else would she get the money to support a lover on the side?"

Toby was troubled by the thought of Sonia's affair with the male model. Tired of Ruth Lee's prying, he instructed Assistant Benson to show her the divorce papers.

He then went upstairs and found Khloe sitting by the window, lost in a book. She looked up and smiled softly, "You're back."

Toby's irritation melted away at the sight of her serene smile. "Feeling any better?"

"I'm okay. Just a bit bored in my room, so I picked up a book to pass the time," Khloe said, placing the book on the nightstand before standing up to embrace him from behind. "Toby, any regrets about the divorce?"

"There's nothing to regret. I didn't love her, especially after she cheated," Toby's voice was deep and certain.

Khloe's lips curved into a subtle smile.

He turned and wrapped his arms around her. "Let's not talk about her anymore. Your health is what matters most. Your father is throwing a banquet for you next month, and you need to be well for it."

Khloe blinked and smiled, "I'm aware."

After Toby left, Khloe called her family's butler. "Miss, what can I do for you?"

"Tell my father about Sonia Reed's accident. You know how to phrase it, right?"

"Yes, Miss."

She ended the call and turned to smile at a cactus on the window sill.

Back at the office, Toby asked Assistant Benson, "How's the Ocean Heart necklace coming along?"

"Sir, the representatives from Country M say it should be airmailed to us within a week," Assistant Benson replied with deference.

The Ocean Heart was a one-of-a-kind necklace, a renowned masterpiece by the famous designer K. It was invaluable, and Toby Fuller had spared no expense to acquire it for his proposal to Miss Aguilar at her family's upcoming banquet.

Assistant Benson's thoughts drifted to Toby's former wife. He had never given her a gift, not even a single rose. She had once brought him a meal at work, only to be coldly turned away, becoming the butt of office jokes. She tried visiting a few more times but was always turned away at reception.

Assistant Benson sighed. Toby's treatment of his ex-wife couldn't compare to the affection he showed Miss Aguilar.

Just then, Toby received a call from his friend, Finley Quinn.

"What's up?" Toby answered.

Finley's voice was teasing, "Toby, you should see the latest headline online."

Curious, Toby checked his phone nonchalantly, only to freeze at the sight before him. It was a photo of Sonia Reed in an intimate pose with the male model, looking as though they were kissing.

The bold red headline stood out starkly, "Skyview's CEO forced to divorce, as hotshot male model steals his wife away."
