Chapter 405


    However, Sonia’s anger had yet to dissipate. She spun her head around and shouted at the person


    behind her. “That was too dangerous, Toby!”


    Toby had been fixing his sleeves, but he raised an eyebrow after hearing what Sonia said. “How


    was that dangerous?”


    “How could you carry both me and the wheelchair up the stairs together? Don’t you know that it’s


    dangerous to do that?” Sonia took a deep breath before she spoke in a harsh tone.


    Toby lowered his gaze. “It’s not dangerous. I was watching over you the whole time—I wouldn’t


    have let you fall.”


    “I was referring to you!” Sonia frowned. “What if you lost your strength halfway through? What if the


    wheelchair fell and crushed your leg? What if you dislocated something?”


    Upon hearing her words, Toby widened his eyes as a look of joy appeared on his face. “Were you


    worried about me, Sonia?” He had to clench his fists to contain the joy and excitement in his heart.


    Sonia was stunned for a moment, but her voice quickly returned to its icy and calm tone as she


    turned back to face the front. “You’re overthinking it. I wasn’t worried about you. I was just afraid that


    I would have to be responsible if you got injured again.”


    A hint of disappointment shed in Toby’s gaze, but it didn’tst for long as he quickly chuckled. “I


    see. Alright, maybe I was overthinking it. Regardless, I’ll just assume that what you said earlier was


    because you care for me.”


    Sonia wrinkled her nose. “You can think whatever you wish to. What are you doing here?”


    “There’s a spy in mypany, and someone stole documents from my office. I found the spy’s


    fingerprints on my office table, so I’m bringing it over to have theb test it for me.” Toby’s eyes


    glinted for a moment, but his expression remained t as he spoke.


    Wanda rolled her eyes from where she stood beside them. Young Master Toby is really good at


    lying, huh? He didn’t even bat an eyelid! Sonia, on the other hand, widened her eyes in shock after


    hearing what Toby said. “What? There’s a spy in Fuller Group, and the spy stole documents from


    your office?”


    “Mhmm,” Toby mumbled. Sonia let out augh. “No way, President Fuller. Yourpany’s security


    is better than this. How could someone go in and out of your office whenever they pleased?”


    Paradigm Co. was nothing inparison to the size of Fuller Group, and even then, no one would


    be able to break into Sonia’s office. The fact that someone managed to do that in Toby’s office was


    hrious to Sonia.


    Toby could tell that Sonia wasughing at him, but he didn’t get mad at all. There was a twinkle of


    amusement in his eyes as he spoke. “I was too confident. I thought that my staff would never dare


    to steal anything from thepany. That was how the spy found a loophole that allowed him or her


    to sneak in. What about you? What are you doing here?”


    “Titus wants to do another DNA test with Taylor. I’m here because he wants me to watch them do it,”


    Sonia exined tly.


    “I see.” Toby lifted his head up.


    “Aren’t you curious why he asked me toe along?” Sonia asked quizzically. Toby shook his


    head. “There’s no need for that. I’ll find out in a while.”


    “In a while?” Sonia narrowed her eyes. “Are you going to go in with me?”


    “I’d like to join the fun. Am I not wee there?” Toby looked at the woman in the wheelchair. She


    pressed her lips together. “Would you stay away if I said that you were not weed there?”


    “Of course not,” he replied.


    “Exactly my point.” Sonia shrugged.


    “Anyway, I don’t own this ce, so I can’t stop you from going anywhere you wish to.


    Toby let out a soft chuckle. “In that case, let me push you in.”


    “There’s no need for that. Wanda can do it.” Sonia shook her head and rejected his offer. Toby shot


    a nce at Wanda, and Wanda was quick toe up with an appropriate response. “I think you


    should let this man help you, Miss Reed. When he was carrying you up the stairs, I was anxious


    that you would fall so I hurried to you, and I sprained my ankle.”


    “What? Is it serious?” Sonia immediately stood up from her wheelchair.


    Wanda smiled. “It’s no big deal. I didn’t tear anything and it only hurts a little. I’ll just have to apply


    some medication onto it when we get home.”


    Sonia parted her lips to say something, but Toby was faster. “Since your caregiver injured her ankle,


    let me take over.” He no longer gave Sonia a chance to speak after that and simply pushed her


    through the main entrance of the DNAb.


    Along the way, Sonia had her eyebrows knitted. She felt as if something was odd about the whole


    situation, yet she couldn’t ce a finger on it. Soon enough, she forgot about the matter entirely.


    She wasn’t someone who’d rack her brains over something when she couldn’t get an answer.


    As they headed in the direction of theb that was meant for running DNA tests, Toby spotted Titus,


    Julia, and Rina from afar. He also noticed another person who looked like their assistant.


    When Rina heard the sound of the wheelchair, she turned around to see Sonia and two other


    people walking toward her. Rina first looked at Sonia before turning to Toby, and Rina met Toby’s


    gaze that looked like never-ending pits of darkness.


    Both of them seemed to exchange messages through their gazes before Rina lowered her head


    and looked away.


    “Mom, Dad. Miss Reed is here,” she told Julia and Titus. Titus had been staring at the ground and


    thinking about something, but he immediately lifted his head when he heard Rina. When he noticed


    that Toby hade along with Sonia, his expression turned grim.


    Julia helped Titus up from his seat. “What are you doing here, Toby? Why are you here with Sonia?


    Did you guys get back together?” Titus asked.


    Toby parted his thin lips to reply in a t tone, “What has that got to do with you?”


    “It’s none of my business. I just find you really fickle-minded, President Fuller. You were so deeply in


    love with Tina before this, yet...” Titus’s voice trailed off.


    Toby narrowed his eyes and snapped, “Did you forget what I told you? I said that I had never been


    in love with Tina, so how could I be fickle-minded?”


    Titus sneered. “You’ve never been in love with Tina, huh? Are you saying that your love for Tina was


    fake after Tina woke


    up?”


    Sonia lifted her head at this point. She was just as curious to find out if Toby had ever been in love


    with Tina. Honestly, I don’t think I would believe it if Toby said he never loved Tina. I agree with Titus


    on this. All those things that Toby did for Tina after Tina woke up... What is that if not love ?


    Toby could practically read Sonia’s mind, and he felt the urge to pat her on the shoulder and


    reassure her that he had never been in love with Tina. He wanted to tell her that he was hypnotized


    into thinking that he loved Tina. However, he seemed to recall something at the veryst minute,


    and he controlled the urge to exin himself. Instead, he shot Titus a cold re. “What else could it


    have been if not a lie? I was only nice to Tina because she was pretending to be Sonia. Did you


    think I would actually fall for Tina?” In other words, he wouldn’t have even taken a nce at Tina if


    Tina hadn’t pretended to be Sonia. From the very start, the only woman he ever had eyes for was


    Sonia.

    “You...” Titus was fuming as he pointed at Toby with a trembling finger. “You’re just so—


    “That’s enough, President Gray. Let’s end this topic here. I’m not interested in the rtionship


    between Toby and your daughter.” Sonia rapped her knuckles against her wheelchair’s armrest as


    she spoke in a rather exasperated tone. “I’m here to see if you and Taylor are actually father and


    daughter, so let’s focus on that instead. You guys can talk about these issues next time. So, is the


    test done? When will the results be out?”


    Titus let out a shortugh. “You’re right. We should focus on the DNA test and set other things aside


    for today. We haven’t done the test because we were waiting for you. Since you’re here, we’ll do it


    right now. I’ll prove to you that Rina is actually my daughter.”


    With that said, Titus plucked out a few strands of his hair. “Watch closely, Sonia.


    I just plucked my own hair.” “Me too.” Julia had been silent the whole time, and she had been


    shooting hateful res at Sonia. She pulled out a few strands of her hair as well. Then, Titus


    retrieved two waterproof bags from his pocket before cing their hair samples into separate bags.


    “You need to give us a few strands of your hair too, Rina,” Titus uttered as he turned to look at Rina.


    “Okay.” Rina nodded. She curled her lips into a smirk as she stared at Sonia. With one hand


    pressing against her clip and another hand tugging on the hair beneath the clip, Rina plucked out a


    few strands of hair before giving it to Titus. “Here you go, Dad.”
