Chapter 1413 Sounding Out Titus and Julia
Toby exined, "Titus and Henry grew up in the samepound, so it was only natural for them to
be the best of friends. Their friendshipsted until high school, but as they grew older, their
families had increasingly higher hopes for them. Henry had always been an outstanding student of
good character and an heir whom their elders approved of the most, whereas Titus, who did nothing
all day other than fool around, was just the opposite. They thus became two contrasting examples
in the words of their elders, and Titus'' parents evenpared him with Henry, so he became
envious of Henry over time."

Hearing the man''s words, Taylor came to realize something, and her lips trembled. "Was that why
Dad cut ties with Miss Reed''s adoptive father?"
Toby replied, "That''s right; they cut ties with each other because of that. However, the Reeds got in
trouble shortly after that, going bankrupt and dropping out of the ranks of Seafield''s distinguished
families. The Grays weren''t doing any better either. They didn''t go bankrupt, but their assets shrank
a lot, making them just an ordinarily rich family."
The ten years immediately crossed Taylor''s mind. It wouldn''t be strange for the two families to get in
trouble at the same time during those ten years.
"After what happened to them, the Reeds and the Grays no longer crossed paths with one another
until Henry rebuilt his career by founding Paradigm Co., whichnded the Reed Family back among
the ranks of Seafield''s respectable families. Henry was basking in glory at the time, which was a
heavy blow to Titus, who had to rely on his parents to expand Triforce Enterprise once again before
inheriting thepany. This made Titus feel even more inferior to Henry, so he stole Paradigm''s
secrets out of jealousy and forced an employee into suicide by jumping off a building, thus driving
Paradigm to the brink of bankruptcy. Henry only stole Little Leaf away in order to strike back."
At this point, Toby stared at her frostily. "So, it''s obvious who was to me for all of this, isn''t it? Had
Titus been tolerant of others, Little Leaf wouldn''t have been stolen away. It was he who caused her
to be stolen away, leaving her caught between the two families and unable to break free. Not only
had he never raised her, but he had also caused her to be stolen away and is now causing her
great distress. What right does such a father have to ask Little Leaf to save him? He should die
since that''d be a relief for her instead."
"No, you''re wrong!" Taylor shook her head vigorously. "It wasn''t like that, President Fuller. Even if
Dad was wrong, he really cares about Miss Reed. This alone proves that he''s not an absolutely bad
guy, so you guys can''t do this."
"Actually, we can do that," Toby said before turning around and walking toward the ward. To him,
Taylor was just a woman who had a screw loose. No matter what Titus had done to Sonia and what
harm he had caused her, she was still of the opinion that Sonia should save him for the sole reason
that Titus was her biological father. Howughable! Many parents in the world abandon their
children because they don''t love them. Do the abandoned children have toply when their birth
parentse to them and tell them that they need them to donate a kidney to them?
In any case, he would never let Sonia save Titus. Titus had to die for the sake of Sonia''s future, and
it was already theirst kindness and filial duty to Titus as his daughter and son-inw by not
supporting Sonia in personally sending Titus to jail. If Titus still had the slightest bit of conscience in
him, he should have refused to ask Sonia to save him for the sake that she was his daughter. But
speaking of it, Titus probably still doesn''t know that Sonia is his daughter. Should I tell him about it
and see his reaction?
I''ll think better of Titus if he chooses to help Sonia by dying on his own and rejecting her kidney
donation for the sake that he still cares about her as her father. However, if he still wants her to
donate one of her kidneys to him and is afraid of death and reluctant to ept Sonia as his
daughter because she was raised by Henry, then he''d better not me me when I take matters into
my own hands and kill him by myself.
"President Fuller." Toby''s bodyguard immediately saluted him as soon as he stepped out of the
ward.
"Mm-hmm," Toby mumbled. "Keep on guarding her. We''ll wait until Sonia feels better before
deciding on how to deal with her."
"Roger that," the bodyguard replied.
Toby left right away without stopping.
When he returned to the ward, Sonia was still asleep, so hey down in bed and fell asleep with her
in his arms. They didn''t sleep muchst night, so they naturally felt worn out now that they had
rxed.
They slept all the way until dusk.
Tom brought some of the documents that required Toby''s signature for Toby to sign them. After the
man finished signing them, Tom put them away and said to him, "By the way, President Fuller, Mrs.
Gray has called the police after realizing that Taylor had gone missing. But I''d given the police a
heads-up in advance, so they wouldn''t do anything in private despite outwardly promising to help
Mrs. Gray search for Taylor." After all, Taylor wasn''t actually missing, so why would the police have
to search for her?
Toby raised his chin slightly in a gesture of acknowledgment. "How''s Titus?" he asked.
Tom thought about it for a moment. "The people I sent to ask about it say that he''s not doing well.
He''s been hospitalized in ICU and is now on a venttor, so Mrs. Gray is crying all day."
"I got it. Get someone to tell Mrs. Gray that I''d like to see her tomorrow," Toby ordered with a squint.
Tom immediately guessed something. He asked in surprise, "President Fuller, don''t tell me you want
—"
Toby replied nomittally, "This is what I decided after much deliberation. I also want to know
how they''ll react upon learning that Sonia''s their daughter. If they still have parental love for her,
they should know what Sonia is going to face, so they''ll make the right choice. But if they don''t do
that, it''d be even better since I''ll speed up Titus'' death. I''ll never let them stay alive and prolong my
wife''s sufferings."
Tom nodded. Thinking that what Toby said was right, he was no longer surprised by his decision.
"Still, does Mrs. Fuller know about this?"
"I haven''t told her yet for the time being. I want to know Titus and Julia''s reaction before deciding
whether to tell her or not," Toby replied impassively.
"Alright, President Fuller, I got it. I''ll have it arranged right away," Tom said as he took his leave.
After Tom had left, Mary came over as well. "Young Master Toby, Mrs. Lane and Mr. Lane are here;
they''re now keeping Young Mistress Soniapany in the ward. Young Mistress Sonia is very
happy to see Mrs. Lane."
Toby''s expression softened when he heard this. "That''s a good thing. Let''s go back and take a
look."
They left the elevator lobby and came to the ward. Before they entered, they heard the sound of
jovialughter in the ward.
After Toby went in, he saw Grace saying something to Sonia, who was giggling gleefully with her
hand over her mouth, whereas Charles was standing aside with a scowl and sulking while shooting
reproachful looks at Grace. At the sight of this, he figured out what Grace had said to Sonia—which
was none other than the skeletons in Charles'' closet. "Mrs. Lane, what did you say to Little Leaf?
You two look so happy." He went over and wrapped his arm around Sonia''s shoulders before sitting
on the edge of the bed. Then, he asked on purpose, "How about you tell me about it?" He darted a
nce at Charles.
As he had expected, Charles'' face darkened even more. He even jumped right away and pointed to
Toby''s nose, yelling, "Toby, what are you doing here? Just stay out of our conversation!"
