Chapter 1388


    After Tom dropped the bomb on Harry and Lte, he swept his mocking gaze across them and


    donned a gloating smirk as he watched the radical changes in their expressions. Then, he closed the


    suite door and went out with the two bodyguards.


    "Guard this room, and don''t let anyone get in or out of it, including the waiters. If they want anything,


    ask the other teammates to prepare it, and make sure the item is sent in by one of us," Tom sternly


    instructed the two bodyguards.


    The two bodyguards knew that Toby severely punished their seniors because they allowed the waiter in


    earlier, so they knew how essential and crucial their task was. Thus, they did not dare to ck off even


    the slightest. Otherwise, they would face severe punishment, just like their poor seniors.


    "Got it, Mr. Brown. Don''t worry. We won''t let you and Mr. Fuller down," the two bodyguards assured


    him.


    Tom graced them with a pleased nod, turned around, and left. He still had matters to report to Toby. Ah,


    the work of the secretary never ends.


    Meanwhile, in the suite, Harry and Lte gradually came to their senses after Tom''s departure.


    Finally, Harry red at Lte in dismay. "Did you push Sonia?"


    "No, Grandpa!" Lte shook her head violently. "I didn''t push her."


    "Why did Tom say those things if you didn''t push her?" Harry did not believe her words.


    He raised her, so how could he not know her like the back of his hand? He knew that she was a


    scheming and ruthless liar.


    He enabled her in the past because he thought that by behaving like this, she could protect herself,


    achieve her goals, and benefit the family. Hence, he never thought there was anything wrong with her


    acting like this. However, now he had a change of heart.


    Due to her nasty behavior, she sessfully forced him and the family to a dead end. Therefore, he


    didn''t think it was right for her to do such things. In fact, he was frustrated that she had fibbed to him.


    Lte could tell that he was angry judging from the undisguised sullen expression on Harry''s face,


    and her heart skipped a beat. Despite her fearless demeanor, she was genuinely afraid of Toby and


    Harry.


    It was just that Harry had always donned the genial grandparent persona when it came to her and


    rarely red at her with such a scary look. So, she had always been carefree and bold whenever she


    was with Harry.


    But she felt jittery and uneasy once she saw that Harry was upset because of her. "Grandpa..." she


    mumbled timidly and swallowed her saliva nervously.


    Harry snapped indignantly, "Didn''t you say you were meeting Toby and would execute our n for


    tonight when you left the room? So, why did you have to go and mess with that woman again? We said


    that our only target tonight was Toby, not that chick. So, just ignore her and don''t do anything silly. Now,


    look at what you''ve done! Not only were you unable to persuade Toby, but you even went to push that


    woman! Just look at the mess you''ve made!"


    They did not have their phones with them. Thus, when they were locked inside the room, Tom


    searched their bodies and confiscated their phones, so they could not contact anyone or surf the


    Inte to see what was happening.


    Although Harry rarely surfed the Inte, he knew how the Inte worked. After all,working was


    one of their business ventures.


    Tom said that Fuller Group had released a statement denouncing the Lore Family and cutting off all ties


    with them. Harry bet that the news must have spread like wildfire on the Inte, yet they could not do


    anything to stop it or initiate measures to curb the damages that this blow would deal since they were


    locked in the room without their phones. Although he couldn''t see it happen in real time, he could very


    well imagine what kind of trouble was heading toward them at full speed.


    Their purpose ofing to the banquet tonight to fix the rtionship with Toby failed miserably. To


    make matters worse, their situation only worsened before the night was over.


    At this moment, Harry felt dejected and dismayed. His life had always been smooth and tranquil for


    decades. But as he grew older, challenges came his way from various directions. He could not


    understand how things had turned out this way.


    Lte couldn''t read Harry''s mind, but she knew that her grandfather and family were in trouble


    because of her. Thus, her resentment for Sonia grew, and she also despised Toby for her misfortune.


    She felt that it was all because of Sonia that she had arrived at this miserable point, yet Toby still chose


    to take Sonia''s side.


    "Grandpa, I didn''t mean it. When I went out, I nned to spike Toby''s drink so I could have sex with


    him. As long as that happened, he couldn''t dump me, and he would have to marry me. But I didn''t have


    the chance to spike his drink. He came prepared. He sat in a corner and would not allow anyone to


    approach him. He even drank the liquor he prepared himself and refused to drink anything that the


    waiter brought him, so I couldn''t spike his drink. I couldn''t even get close to him. He might be able to


    recognize me instantly and catch me, so I had to retreat and think of other ways. It was then that I


    thought of making a move on Sonia."


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    When Lte spoke her side of the story, her face gradually filled with resentment. "I figured that since


    I couldn''t get close to Toby, I''d let Sonia do it. She had ckmailed Toby, and he would never reject her


    approach, so all I had to do was trick her into spiking his drink. After that, I would send her away and


    have sex with him. Even if he tried to investigate the whole matter when the dust settled, he would only


    find out that Sonia was the one who spiked his drink. He might hate her even more or even eliminate


    her, regardless of her threats. By then, I would be the innocent victim. Perhaps Toby would even feel


    guilty toward me because I had been implicated."


    Finally, she looked at Harry and pouted pitifully. "Once my nse to fruition, Toby would not only


    reconcile with our family but also be with me and make up for his mistakes."


    "Yeah, that sounds like a good n, alright." Harry narrowed his eyes and grumbled in disdain, "But


    you failed."


    Lte gritted her teeth as she hissed, "It was all because of that deceitful b*tch! I couldn''t find a


    chance to make a move, and she even had the cheek to insult me! I was so pissed at that time that I


    couldn''t think straight, so I thought of killing her. Her death would be a good thing even if I couldn''t have


    sex with Toby tonight. At the very least, Toby would no longer be threatened by her. He might be


    grateful for what I did, and I could win his heart in one fell swoop. But he came out of nowhere and


    stopped me when I wanted to make my move. He even told me that he got back together with Sonia,


    not because she threatened him but because he was in love with her. But, most importantly, can you


    guess what else Toby said?!"


    Lte got so worked up and tugged at Harry''s sleeves. "He said that he always had feelings for


    Sonia. He never loved Tina at all. Sonia was the only one he loved all along!"


    "What did you say?! He never loved Tina?" Harry was dumbstruck. "Impossible. What happened


    between him and Tina back then?!"


    "I don''t know." She shook her head in confusion. "Toby didn''t tell me why, but that''s not important.


    What''s important is that Toby got back together with Sonia because he loves her. There''s no threat or


    ckmail behind this. This is why he is so angry with me and why he''s attacking our family."
