Chapter 1394
Clearly, Toby was set on ruining the Lore Family.
Harry went up to Toby anxiously. "Toby, you can''t do this! You are going to push me—your mentor—to
the brink! Aren''t you afraid of gossip?" Eyes bulging, he confronted Toby loudly.
Toby, on the other hand, was calm as usual. "Why should I be afraid? If I had a fair and upright mentor
who did not wrong his student, perhaps I would actually worry about people''s judgment of my actions.
But sir, are you being fair and upright in the first ce?"
Harry''s eyes wavered, and he stumbled backward out of shock.
Toby scorned, "You did not disy any qualities of a mentor. Not only that, you manipted the
rtionship between your student and his partner. You allowed your grandchild to bully your student''s
partner, without so much as an apology afterward. Are you still hoping that I will spare you after all
those?"
Knowing well that this would spell the end to the Lore Family''s fortunes and realizing the impossibility
of wooing Toby, Harry fainted and fell on his back in a fit of anger.
A frightened Lte screamed at the sight, "Grandpa!"
Her scream made Toby stop to check on them. When he saw Harry on the floor, he hesitated
momentarily before deciding against helping his ex-teacher. Instead, he asked the bodyguard at the
door to send Harry to the hospital.
No matter what, he would never let Harry die at this point in time. Otherwise, things might get
complicated.
Once Harry was lifted into the ambnce, Lte, his only family member at the scene, followed him
into the vehicle. Before that, she paused to re at Toby with fury and resentment. "Toby, I won''t
forgive you if anything happens to my grandpa."
Then, she climbed into the ambnce with a heartbroken look.
Toby stood watching the ambnce speeding away without any change in his expression. Tom, who
was standing behind him, rolled his eyes. "Oh, isn''t she hrious? All that talk about her forgiveness,
when the reality is that you don''t even care about her."
For Toby, Lte was a nobody, and he would not spare a thought for her. Lte could only be best
described as having an inted sense of self-importance. She overestimated her importance to him.
"Alright. Let''s go," Toby said and went into the hotel with Tom behind him.
When they arrived at the basement parking lot, Tom unlocked a car with a button on his key, and the
headlights of a nearby Maybach shed.
A drowsy Sonia, who had been waiting in the car, perked up when she heard the sound and checked
the window. She smiled at the sight of the two tall figures walking toward her.
However, just when she opened the car door, arge and pale hand immediately pushed against the
door to stop her. She blinked in confusion. "What''s the matter?"
Toby bent over and looked at her via the tiny opening. "Don''t get out of the car. It''s cold outside. Stay
there. I''ll join you soon."
He wanted to shut the car door, but she stopped him. "Wait!"
He paused and looked at her again. She beamed. "You don''t have to go around the car! Just enter
from this side."
After that, she moved across the seat to make space for him. Seeing that, he chuckled and obeyed.
Tom settled down in the driver''s seat. "President Fuller, are we going back to the Bayside Residence?"
"That''s too far from here. Let''s go to one of my units nearby." Toby stared at an exhausted Sonia, who
yawned out of sleepiness. Tom nodded at him and started the engine.
When Sonia let out a huge yawn, she was too tired to think and did not catch their conversation, which
she did not care about in the first ce. She was fine with any destination, as long as she was in their
good care.
"Are you very tired?" he asked. "Mmhm," she answered softly while nodding. Something in him stirred
when he heard the tender voice, and his desire was awakened.
Swallowing hard, Toby put his arm across her shoulder and guided her to lean against his thighs. "If
you''re sleepy, lie down and take a nap. I''ll wake you up when we arrive."
"Sure." She epted his suggestion after a yawn, rested her upper body against his thighs, and closed
her eyes.
He stared at her and, worried that the crown headpiece might be ufortable for her, he gently took
it off. He was unaware that the headpiece helped to secure her hair, and once it was removed, her hair
came cascading down like a waterfall and spread across his hand.
Sonia''s soft and silky hair was cold to the touch, and he started caressing it with much love. As if that
was not enough, he even picked up strands of her hair and pressed them against his nose for a whiff.
He picked up the crisp and enticing scent that stimted his desire for her.
Unfortunately, they were in the car, with a third wheel in the driver''s seat. Toby regretfully suppressed
his urge and went back to caressing her hair. His touch must have been toofortable for her, as her
eyelids became heavy.
Toby leaned over to give her a peck on her fair cheeks. "Go to sleep." His soft and mesmerizing voice
seemed to have a charm that lulled her to sleep.
"Is Miss Reed asleep?" Suddenly, Tom whispered. Toby took off his jacket and draped it across her.
"Yes."
Hearing that, Tom whispered with a lower voice, "What should I do with the two other families?"
Earlier, Toby had decided to deal with the two families along with the Lores. However, Harry''s fainting
disrupted his ns, and he temporarily put the matter aside. Still, he had to deal with it eventually.
"Are they still at the hotel?" he asked calmly while admiring Sonia''s sleeping face. Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
Tom nodded. "Yes. After the two girls created trouble for you and Miss Read, we arrested them and
informed their parents. They are with their parents now and waiting to meet you for an apology. In the
meantime, the parents have already disciplined the girls."
"Oh?" Toby looked amused, and his fingers stopped caressing Sonia''s face. "What happened?"
Tom chuckled. "The parents knew that the girls brought trouble to the families for offending the Toby
Fuller for Lte''s matter. So of course, they were incensed. They gave their daughters a good beating
immediately after seeing them."
