Chapter 347
Talk things through? Sonia pursed her lips, knowing what Zane was nning to talk to her about.
Nheless, she didn’t think that would be necessary as the reason she wanted to cut ties with him
was not just because he held out on her but also because of his feelings for her.
In fact, Toby had told Sonia earlier that Zane had a crush on her. Thus, she had been secretly
observing him throughout their interaction, although she didn’t seem to notice anything that
suggested Zane’s admiration for her.
However, she didn’t think Toby was lying to her either, but in order to avoid any further trouble, she
decided to distance herself from Zane because she didn’t share the same feelings that he had for
her. Therefore, she reckoned it was better for her to stay away from him before he confessed his
love to her so that he could slowly forget about her.
The next day, Sonia was woken up by her ring ringtone. She extended her arm out of her nket
to reach for her mobile phone on the headboard with her eyes closed. As soon as she got her hand
on her phone, she naturally slid her finger across the screen with her natural reflexes to answer the
call and ced it against her ear. “Hello, who is speaking?”
“It’s me.” Toby’s eyebrows rxed when he heard Sonia’s sleepy voice.
“Toby?” Sonia instantly snapped out of her sleepiness and opened her eyes widely, taking a closer
look at the iing call, only to realize it was Toby indeed.
“Yeah, it’s me.” Toby nodded. “Did I wake you up?
Nevertheless, Sonia only bit her lip in silence.
“I’m sorry. I thought you were already up,” Toby said with an apologetic voice.
“What’s the matter?” Sonia put the phone back to her ear and asked.
Seemingly unable to sense thedy’s indifference, Toby only chuckled and said, “I have good news
for you. The man has been brought here, and he is now in Seafield.”
“What?!” Sonia sat bolt upright in her bed, but her sudden movement identally hurt her abdomen
in the process as she hissed in pain.
“What’s wrong?” Toby heard that and asked with a concerned look on his face.
“Nothing.” Sonia rubbed her belly. “Where is he now?”
Toby was able to tell that Sonia was unwell from her trembling voice. I know she’s not well, but why
is she not opening up to me? He sighed and continued to say, “He has just arrived at Seafield’s train
station, and he will be taken to me shortly after that.”
“That means he will be in hospital soon, right?” Sonia asked with a pair of
furrowed brows.
“Yeah. Are youing over?” Toby replied with an affirmative hum and proceeded to ask with a
hopeful tone. Deep down, he believed it wasn’t Sonia’s own initiative to visit him the day before.
After all, she met up with his grandmother earlier, so he reckoned she must have told her to pay him
a visit, or she wouldn’t even have bothered to drop by.
Well, if she isn’t going to visit me, I suppose I have to do something to make that happen.
In order to see Sonia, Toby had instructed his men to bring that man to him in the hospital so that he
could meet up with her. While that might not be a trick he would be proud of using himself, he was
willing to cast his decency aside just to see Sonia in person.
“Why must he be taken to the hospital? Can’t you have him taken elsewhere?” Sonia clenched her
fists.
“No can do. You should know that I can’t leave the hospital, plus I captured the man, and there are
a few questions I’d like to ask him myself as well. Thus, your only option is to swing by the hospital.”
Toby looked down with an unfathomable aura filling his eyes.
Needless to say, Sonia knew what Toby was up to for his refusal to take the man elsewhere.
Nheless, she could only sneer at herself helplessly, as she was in no position to decide where
the man should be taken since it was Toby who captured him. “Alright, understood. I’ll be there
soon.” Thedy responded with a cial voice and darkened look before hanging up the call.
In the meantime, Toby fixed his eyes on his phone’s home screen while curling his lips upward. On
the inside, he couldn’t believe he had to resort to some cheap and dishonorable shenanigans just to
see someone.
“President Fuller.” Tom knocked on the door and came in.
“What’s the matter?” Toby kept himself
together and recollected his thoughts.
“I just found out that Titus has been looking for investors to finance his business,” Tom answered,
standing beside Toby’s bed.
“Investors?” Toby squinted curiously.
“Precisely. There are now threepanies that have already agreed to ept the offer, but Titus
wants more capital, and they can only afford so much. Therefore, Sonia’s shareholdings only
amount to a small percentage after her investment,” Tom replied.
“Well, of course, he is seeking investors now to gather some capital. After all, he is having trouble
taking loans from the bank because I pulled a few strings to make sure that won’t happen. If this
goes on, Triforce Enterprise will go bankrupt, so there are only two ways for him to save his
Family, he is left with the second, as well as the riskier option.” Toby chuckled coldly. Then, he
looked at Tom and asked, “I remember Passion Heart Property is also a subsidiary that belongs to
the Fuller Group, right?”
“Yes. Thepany was boycotted for selling overpriced propertiesst year. After the president
was caught, you told me to acquire thepany right away, but due to the subsequent events that
transpired after that, there hasn’t been any official announcement made to the public until now.
Therefore, there aren’t many people who know that Passion Heart Property belongs to the Fuller
Group,” Tom pondered for a while and said.
“Very well. For now, I’d like you to approach Titus as a potential investor in the name of Passion
Heart Property. I want to take Triforce Enterprise’s shares away from him bit by bit.” Toby’s eyes lit
up in a sinister manner, as he knew Titus was going down a dangerous path. After all, nopany
would ever invite outside investors to buy its shares because it could expose the owner to a high
risk of a hostile takeover.
Tom’s eyes brightened up. “Are you going to give Miss Reed those shares right after you im them
from Titus, President Fuller?”
Ignoring his assistant’s question, Toby simply replied, “Just do as you’re told.”
Despite Toby’s ambiguous answer, Tom was sure he was right about his boss’ intention. “I’ll get it
done right away.” He adjusted his sses and walked away.
An hourter, Sonia arrived at the hospital, where she looked at Toby and asked, “Where is he?”
“They’re on their way, but because of the traffic congestion, it’ll take them another ten minutes
before they arrive. Have a seat in the meantime.” Toby remained still in bed as he pointed at the
chair by the window, gesturing to her to grab it and sit down.
Sonia thought Toby fooled her when she didn’t see any sign of that man the moment she entered
the ward, but upon hearing Toby’s answer, she put her mind at ease and grabbed a chair to sit
down.
“How do you feel?” Toby set his eyes on her belly.
“Pretty good.” Sonia crossed her legs.

“d to hear that.” Toby could tell that she was slowly recovering after her surgery and was
relieved about that, although she might not seem healthy at the moment.
“Zane must have paid you a visitst night. Am I right?” Toby seemingly thought of something and
asked.
“Oh, so you’re the one who told him everything. I know what’s going on now.” Sonia raised her
eyebrows.
Who else could Zane have possibly learned that from? Toby pursed his lips and replied, “Yes, I told
him that, and he went to you to apologize. So, did you...”
“Did I what?” Sonia stared at the man.
“Did you forgive him?” Toby met Sonia’s cold eyes, eventually asking the question he had wanted to
ask.
“Why should I? You both deserve each other!” Sonia pursed her lips in an annoyed manner.
Upon hearing her words, Toby secretly smiled with glee as his prediction was correct. Just like I
expected, she didn’t forgive Zane. At the thought of that, he heaved a sigh of relief and appeared to
be rather rxed. That’s good news, I suppose. Since Sonia won’t forgive me for what I did to her,
Zane mustn’t be forgiven as well. He should suffer from the same fate as I do.
“You seem to be happy about that.” Sonia squinted while looking at Toby, thinking he was actually
gloating over Zane’s misery. Am I reading too much into it?
“You can read my mind, can’t you?” Toby didn’t deny nor admit it, but his response got Sonia staring
at him in a surprised and strange manner.
Alright, I guess I was right. He is indeed gloating over Zane’s misery. I can’t believe he is so wicked
and evil!
