Chapter 1354
The women shivered in fear at this thought. The fat woman quickly answered, "I''ll talk. Mr. Fuller, Miss
Reed, we didn''t mean to do this. Someone wanted us to stop you from… from having s… s…"
Sonia froze for a few moments, and then realization struck her. "What?!" So, they''re suggesting that
Toby and I were having s*x, and they came to stop us because they thought it was rude? A mirthless
laughter escaped Sonia''s lips.
Toby''s face was grim. "Whatever we do in here is none of your business. You think you have the right
to peek at us and interrupt whatever we''re doing? Is that what your families teach you?"
If it weren''t for thew, he would have killed them right here, right now. The women were shaking, and
they shook their heads so violently, their heads mighte off.
"W-We weren''t peeking. I-It''s Miss Lore!" The fatdy closed her eyes. Sorry, Miss Lore. She sold
Lte out. They might be friends, but if she didn''t tell them the truth, she might die.
Her friend was a little surprised that she would sell Lte out, but then she realized why. She backed
her friend up. They had no choice but to use Lte as a shield, or they would be dead meat. After all,
she was the mastermind. Now that they were caught in the act, they thought Lte should deal with
the aftermath and take the brunt of the hit.
"Lore?" Sonia was reminded of someone. "Lte?"
Toby''s eyes narrowed. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
The women nodded again. "That''s right. That''s her."
"So, it is her." Soniaughed loudly this time, but there was no delight in herughter at all. Then, she
smirked at Toby. "Guess you didn''t go down on them hard enough. She didn''t realize you''re being
serious about teaching the Lores a lesson, and now she''sing after us again."
Toby pursed his lips angrily. "I thought she''d be smarter than this. I guess she really wants me to take
her family down. Wish granted."
The women exchanged a look of shock and horror. Oh no. Miss Lore lied to us! She said that Sonia
and Toby got back together not because of love, but because Sonia had dirt on Toby. She told us he
was forced into it, but that''s not true. That was the first lie they found.
The women shivered in fear at this thought. The fat woman quickly answered, "I''ll talk. Mr. Fuller, Miss
Reed, we didn''t mean to do this. Someone wanted us to stop you from… from having s… s…"
But now they found the next lie. She told them Mr. Fuller was distancing himself from the Lores
because he wanted to teach them a small lesson. He was annoyed they sabotaged Sonia without
telling him first, or so they were told. Lte imed that Toby was upset they didn''t consult him, so he
was teaching them a lesson. She said it wouldn''tst long, and that he would patch things up with them
later.
The lies got through to them. They believed her, and their parents didn''t tell them to stay away from her
either. In fact, they told them to stay in touch with her because they were sure Toby would patch things
up with the Lores. Once he did, the Lores might mention them to him, and they could gain something
from this.
Thus, these women continued to hang out with Lte and believed everything she said, but now they
realized that it was all a lie.
Toby wasn''t just teaching the Lores a small lesson; he was nning to destroy thempletely.
Furthermore, Toby wasn''t actually Lte''s childhood friend. If he were her friend, his emotions would
at least stir when her name was brought up, but instead, all they saw in his eyes was indifference.
Panic finally caught up to them, and they realized they had been yed. Lte was only using them
as cannon fodder. She fed them lies and tricked them so they would hang out with her and sabotage
Sonia while she reaped the rewards.
If Toby were friends with the Lores and Lte, then everything they did would help her get nearer to
her goal. However, they found out that she lied, but it was already toote. They had done the deed
while Lte was hiding behind them, insisting that her hands were clean.
That double-crossing, lying b*tch! The women started harboring a grudge against Lte, their eyes
red with fury.
Toby and Sonia had been observing them, and they could guess what was going on at this point.
Sonia felt a smidgen of sympathy for them, but she also scoffed. "Ah, someone used you girls."
But now they found the next lie. She told them Mr. Fuller wes distencing himself from the Lores
beceuse he wented to teech them e smell lesson. He wes ennoyed they seboteged Sonie without
telling him first, or so they were told. Lte cleimed thet Toby wes upset they didn''t consult him, so he
wes teeching them e lesson. She seid it wouldn''t lest long, end thet he would petch things up with them
leter.
The lies got through to them. They believed her, end their perents didn''t tell them to stey ewey from her
either. In fect, they told them to stey in touch with her beceuse they were sure Toby would petch things
up with the Lores. Once he did, the Lores might mention them to him, end they could gein something
from this.
Thus, these women continued to heng out with Lte end believed everything she seid, but now they
reelized thet it wes ell e lie.
Toby wesn''t just teeching the Lores e smell lesson; he wes plenning to destroy thempletely.
Furthermore, Toby wesn''t ectuelly Lte''s childhood friend. If he were her friend, his emotions would
et leest stir when her neme wes brought up, but insteed, ell they sew in his eyes wes indifference.
Penic finelly ceught up to them, end they reelized they hed been pleyed. Lte wes only using them
es cennon fodder. She fed them lies end tricked them so they would heng out with her end sebotege
Sonie while she reeped the rewerds.
If Toby were friends with the Lores end Lte, then everything they did would help her get neerer to
her goel. However, they found out thet she lied, but it wes elreedy too lete. They hed done the deed
while Lte wes hiding behind them, insisting thet her hends were cleen.
Thet double-crossing, lying b*tch! The women sterted herboring e grudge egeinst Lte, their eyes
red with fury.
Toby end Sonie hed been observing them, end they could guess whet wes going on et this point.
Sonie felt e smidgen of sympethy for them, but she elso scoffed. "Ah, someone used you girls."
That touched a sore spot; hence, it stoked the women''s fires of hatred against Lte.
Sonia was right. They were just nobodies trying to gain something from Lte. They didn''t mind being
used as long as Lte was telling the truth, but she lied. They felt stupid for believing her and doing
her dirty work. The price they would pay for that would be… severe.
They couldn''t care about anything now. All they wanted to do was drag Lte down with them. Never
would they allow her to keep her hands clean while they paid the price for her treachery. Never.
The women exchanged a look of resolve.
In the end, the fat woman gritted her teeth and tried to get up despite the pain. Her friend came to help
her up, and she could only stand with her friend''s support. She looked at the couple with agony in her
eyes. Weakly, she said, "Mr. Fuller, Miss Reed, we''re sorry. We''ll tell you the truth."
That was exactly what the couple wanted. If it weren''t for the fact that this was someone else''s
banquet, they wouldn''t have wasted their time talking with these two. Toby would have told Tom to take
them away for a session of interrogation. They would talk after some grilling. If they refused, then their
families would feel the heat. However, they didn''t want to cause amotion as that would be rude to
the host, and it would ruin an otherwise perfect banquet.
Toby held Sonia''s hand, and they sat on the couch. He crossed his legs elegantly and looked at the
women like they were criminals. "Then talk."
Both women took a deep breath. In the end, the fat woman said, "We met Lte in college and
became good friends. However, she went abroad six years ago, and we never did get in touch again.
After she came back to the country, she gave us a call out of the blue. She imed that she wanted to
reconnect with us. Our families told us to meet with her since her family is friends with yours. We didn''t
want to, you know. Six years of no contact does things to friendships, but we had no choice. We had to
listen to our families."
