Chapter 1099
"No, no way!" Lte yelled loudly with a look of disbelief while shaking her head vigorously.
Grandpa isn''t as important to Toby as that Sonia woman is? No, this can''t be true. This isn''t true!
It didn''t surprise Mitch that Lte was unwilling to ept this. After all, thisdy had always
believed that her grandfather was very important to Toby. This was why she dared to act so high
and mighty, saying that even if they''d make Toby angry by plotting against Sonia, she''d be able to
protect him despite Toby''s revenge. Isn''t that a kind of baseless self-confidence? Well, what''s
ridiculous is that I really believed this woman''s baloney in the past. "If you don''t believe it, I can''t do
anything about it," he said with ridicule. "But it''s true that your grandpa isn''t as important to Toby as
Sonia is. Moreover, you''re only your grandpa''s granddaughter. So, do you think Toby will let you off
for what you did? Do you think your grandpa will still be able to save you?"
Lte''s expression was zed as she couldn''t say a word. If Grandpa isn''t indispensable to Toby,
Toby won''t let me off. Naturally, Grandpa won''t be able to save me. At the thought of this, she only
felt as though the sky were falling down on her. Her breathing became rapid. Inwardly, she had
started to be afraid, but she stubbornly insisted, "No way! This can''t be true. Toby won''t do
anything to my family. He won''t!"
Hearing how she insisted on deluding herself, Mitch started to get impatient. "We''ll see whether he''ll
do it or not. You''ll know the answer very soon. By then, however, your family will probably have
ceased to exist, and you''re to me for all of this. Say, if the Lore Family really ceases to exist in
the end, are your dad and grandpa still going to spoil you as they are now? I don''t think so."
Lte couldn''t restrain herself anymore. Standing up from the bed right away, she held the phone
before her and clutched it tightly with both hands. Then, with a ferocious look in her eyes, she yelled
at the phone, "That''s nonsense, Mitch! You''re talking nonsense!"
Mitch snorted coldly. "Since you insist that I''m talking nonsense, just think whatever you want. Your
willingness to bury yourself in a world of make-believe without stepping out of it to face reality is
your own business. However, you promised back then that if Toby and his people were to find out
about this and wanted to deal with you, you''d be able to save me. So, Lte, now''s the time for
you to fulfill your promise. I don''t care how you do it as long as you get me out of police custody! Do
you hear that? I''m telling you, if you don''t do it, then don''t me me for disclosing all the filthy stuff
you''ve done. Try it if you don''t believe me."
Lte''s countenance changed again. "How dare you…" Just when she was about to say
something, she saw that the call interface on her phone''s screen had been reced by the home
screen.
Mitch had hung up on her.
Lte was so furious that she wanted to throw the phone away. The next instant, however, she
recalled something and suppressed the urge to do so. Her face contorted as she mumbled through
clenched teeth, "How dare you threaten me, Mitch? We''ll wait and see!" I grew up being spoiled
rotten and fawned upon. Since Mitch is the first one who dares to threaten me, I''ll never let him off!
Did he say just now that he was at the police station and wanted me to bail him out? Ha! As if! Not
only will I not get him out of police custody, but I''ll make him spend the rest of his life in jail! We''ll
see about that!
However, this matter could be put off untilter. At the moment, the first priority was to find out
whether what Mitch had said was true or false. Did the matter reallye to light? Was her
grandfather really not that important to Toby? Was Toby really going to deal with the Lore Family?
These were the questions to which she wanted to know the answers the most. As long as she didn''t
know the answers to these questions, she''d feel uneasy.
After taking a deep breath, she decided to go online first to check on the present situation in her
home country. Before going to sleepst night, she had noticed that things had developed the way
she desired on the inte, which was why she dared to go to sleep with ease of mind. However,
little did she think that the situation would take a sudden and unfavorable turn in only a few hours.
Therefore, she had to find out what was going on. Was her cover really blown, or did Mitch lie to her
on purpose?
After exhaling softly, she calmed down for the time being and got ready to go online.
Just then, however, she suddenly saw her phone''s notifications showing a number of missed calls.
She quickly opened the notifications, only for her heart to skip a beat when she saw the missed call
notifications. There were actually so many missed calls from her father and her mother. Everyone
had called her at least three times.
As her phone was in silent mode, she had answered none of these phone calls. Instead, she had
only answered Mitch''s phone call because she had gotten out of bed, gone to the toilet, ande
back; she had justin down in bed when she saw her phone''s screen shing before she could
close her eyespletely. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have been able to answer his phone call.
However, there had been so many missed calls in one night, and everyone had called her several
times. Such a situation was clearly abnormal. It was obvious that something serious had happened,
causing her parents to call her so many times. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have contacted her at the
same time.
Despite her best efforts to calm down, Lte started to feel uneasy again when she saw these
missed calls. Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the urge to go online and check the situation
on the inte. Then, she called her father.
Perhaps because the person on the other end of the line had been waiting for her phone call, the
phone call was answered as soon as she called. "Hello? What were you doing, Lte? Why didn''t
you answer the phone until now?" A middle-aged man''s displeased voice sounded on the other end
of the line, calling her to ount in a somewhat agitated tone.
Feeling displeased at once, Lte pouted her lips. At the same time, she felt a bit aggrieved. Like
her grandfather, her father doted on her very much and had always spoken to her in a soft voice. He
had never spoken to her in such a brusque tone as he did right now, let alone called her to ount.
This made her very unhappy, for she felt that her father was no longer how he used to be. "What
else could I have been doing? I was sleeping! I''m not in our home country. I''m abroad, and it''s night
over here," she said impatiently to the middle-aged man on the other end of the line while stamping
her feet.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man wasn''t angry when he heard the way Lte spoke to
him. After all, this wasn''t the first time his daughter had spoken to him in such a tone of voice. He
even had to appease her whenever she spoke like this, and this time was no exception. "Sorry,
Lte. I was too anxious, so I forgot that it''s night over there. Don''t be mad at me, okay?" he
coaxed.
Lte let out a snort. After forgiving the middle-aged man reluctantly, she finally asked, "What''s
the matter, Dad? Why did you and Mom call me so many times and even forget that it''s night over
here? Did something happen?"
Hearing her question, the middle-aged man let out a sigh. "Lte, you''ve gotten into trouble this
time."
Lte''s heart clenched as she panicked atst. I''ve gotten into trouble? Could what that fatso said
be… "D-Dad, how am I getting into trouble?" she asked in panic, holding the phone in one hand
while clutching the clothes on her chest with the other.
The middle-aged man gave another sigh. "Lte, your grandpa and I know that you like Toby, and
we both support you two being together so that our family can keep on flourishing and prospering.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
But you shouldn''t have made a move by such means in such a hurry."
