Chapter 1225


    Toby tightened his grip on the phone. If not for the phone being sturdy enough, he might have crushed


    it!

    The Lore Family dared to push Grandma around in her own home? Seems like I''ve been too lenient


    toward them to the point where they don''t even respect Grandma anymore.


    Although Mary did not know what Toby was thinking, she knew that he was exasperated.


    "Exactly, Miss Reed. They came to the manor and tried to use Madam to achieve their goals. Now, isn''t


    that just bullying Madam?" Mary stated angrily.


    At this point, Toby finally piped up coldly, "What happened, Mary? Tell me everything that happened


    when the Lore Family met with Grandma."


    "Okay, Young Master Toby." Mary nodded before telling them truthfully what transpired when the Lore


    Family came.


    She did not add or twist anything as she retold everything as it was. After all, she was not one who


    would exaggerate the truth.


    Also, what the Lore Family said to Rose was awful enough, so she did not have to emphasize anything


    to make Toby learn the truth, that they were truly despicable.


    After hearing Mary''s words, both Toby and Sonia fell silent. They had never thought that the Lore


    Family would be this shameless to the point of using Rose as the mediator to smooth things over


    between them.


    Besides, not only did they not tell the truth when seeking help, they even twisted the facts! Time and


    again, they ndered Sonia in front of Rose.


    All of these things umted served to make them feel more hatred toward the Lore Family.


    "I understand. Just ignore the Lore Family for now, Mary. If theye again, don''t bother to meet them.


    I''ll handle things from now on," stated Toby with a dangerous gaze.


    Mary nodded. "Okay, Young Master Toby. Don''t worry. We know what to do."


    "Hm. How''s Grandma?" asked Toby.


    "Madam is fine. Even though the Lore Family acted and spoke shamelessly, I was there with her the


    whole time, so I rebuked them all the way on behalf of the madam. She was not agitated by them.


    She''s asleep now,"forted Mary while looking at the closed door behind her.


    It was then Toby and Sonia truly rxed.


    "It''s good that Grandma is fine." Sonia patted her chest. "Fortunately, you were there, Madam Mary.


    Otherwise, it would have been huge if Grandma was agitated by them."


    Toby could not deny that.


    She''s right. With Grandma''s current condition, she cannot take any form of emotional triggers.


    Otherwise, she might pass away on the spot.


    Thinking how the Lore Family nearly cost Rose her life tonight, Toby found himself despising them even


    more as the thought of cutting ties with them became even more solidified.


    "Young Master Toby and Miss Reed, since the Lore Family did not get what they wanted from this visit,


    they will not give up just like that. They will find another way to resolve the rift between you, Young


    Master Toby. After all, without your protection, the Lore Family will disappear from the upper echelons


    of society sooner orter, so you need to watch out for that. They will stir something up for sure," Mary


    advised them.


    Both of them nodded.


    "Don''t worry, Madam Mary. We''ll be on the lookout," stated Sonia.


    Although Toby kept quiet, Mary knew that he agreed with Sonia''s thoughts.


    "Good. Good." Mary rxed.


    The trio then chatted about other things before ending the call.


    Yet, Toby still wore a fairly grim expression.


    Pouring a cup of water for him, Sonia asked, "Are you still worried about Grandma?"


    Toby took over the cup. "No. I''m just feeling guilty."


    "Guilty?" Sonia blinked, not understanding what the man meant.


    Toby exined, "I always thought that since the Lore Family are the family of my mentor, I should help


    them out as I had the ability to do so. Plus, with them being financially unstable, it wasn''t that hard for


    me to help them along, since it would not bring much trouble for me either. So, whatever projects or


    coborations they needed, I almost never rejected them. Plus, during the first few years they started


    out, the Lore Family did act in line as they didn''t use my name to do anything. That was why I happily


    put them under my wing to grow. Also, the corporation became bigger yearster, so I became busier.


    In the long run, I didn''t keep up with how they were doing."


    "This is why the Lore Family are more tantly arrogant with you not keeping them in check. They


    started to think of themselves as above all people! In the end, Harry doesn''t even respect Grandma


    anymore, since he called her ''Rosy''," Sonia sneered.


    Of course, she did not take a jab at Toby. Rather, it was directed at the Lore Family.


    Most people knew that even amongst the elderly, Rose was the eldest. Yet, Harry actually called her


    ''Rosy''. If this was not considered disrespectful, then what was?


    The people who were unaware might think that Harry was Toby''s grandfather and that Rose was just


    somebody.


    "That''s right. The wrongfulness that Grandma suffered through was because of me." Toby rubbed his


    eyebrows.


    Hugging his arm, Sonia ced her head on his shoulder. "Although you caused it, it wasn''t like you did


    it on purpose, did you? After all, who could predict the future? Nobody can fully grasp a human''s true


    nature. So, you don''t need to feel so guilty. I believe that Grandma won''t me you either. If you really


    can''t get over this, then we can pay a visit to the old manor tomorrow and eat with Grandma before


    apologizing to her. How does that sound?"


    After hearing this, Toby stopped rubbing his tightened eyebrows as he carried Sonia and ced her on


    his leg.


    This frightened the woman, who subconsciously held onto his neck.


    Following that, she hit the man yfully. "What are you doing? You scared me."


    Tobyughed in a low tone while touching her forehead. "Nothing. I''m just happy. That''s why I couldn''t


    resist hugging you."


    "What''s there to be happy about?" Soniay in his embrace.


    The man touched her hair. "I''m happy that you''re willing to visit Grandma to apologize to her with me.


    Although I caused this myself, I''m happy that you''d want to share this burden with me."


    Hearing this, Sonia let out a smile. "Didn''t you say that we''re in this together? So naturally, whatever


    happens, we''ll face it together. If it were me, I don''t think you''ll let me face it alone, right?"


    Toby ced his jaw on top of her head, finding her quite right.


    "See. You can''t say no to that, so why wouldn''t I apany you?" Sonia hugged the man by his waist


    and closed her eyes. "Besides, if Grandma really got angry, I don''t think she would forgive you if you


    went alone. With me by your side, Grandma might forgive you on ount of me being there. I''m also


    doing this for you."


    Heughed subtly. "I''ll have to thank you then, Mrs. Fuller."


    Blushing, Sonia rebuked, "What do you mean? Don''t spout nonsense."


    He lifted her chin while gazing deeply into her eyes. "Hm? Am I? Don''t you want to be Mrs. Fuller?"


    "I…" Sonia found her answer stuck in her throat.


    Naturally, she wanted to say no, but she knew that the man would be angry.


    Yet, she found it embarrassing to say that she wanted to. I don''t wanna sound desperate to be his


    wife… Ugh. I''m on the fence!


    Seeing how the woman was silent, Toby knew what she was thinking of.


    Although he was happy that she did not deny this outright, he was also upset at her silence and


    embarrassment…


    Yes, she might be gorgeous with an embarrassed expression, but there were times when


    embarrassment would cause a headache—like now.
