Chapter 1060
A flicker shone in Toby's eyes as he remained silent and so did Sonia. Pin-drop silence filled the conference room.
A moment later, Charles was being all jumpy due to frustration. "I guessed it right, didn't I? The culprit is your pursuer! The criticisms and grievance Sonia's suffering is all because of you, Toby. This is already the second time. Anya's first and now another one. Is there going to be a third one? Huh?" he bellowed.
Toby frowned and rose to his feet. "It is true that everything happened because of me. I'll put things right for Little Leaf."
"Hmph. What for?" Charles sneered, "Keep a count on your pursuers. After it's settled this time round, there's gonna be another one showing up in future. Are you going to let Sonia suffer every single time? If I'd known this would happen, I would've stopped her from reconciling with you. You're too much trouble to handle."
Toby's pupils shrank as his murderous gaze fixated upon Charles. "What did you say? Trouble?"
"Am I wrong?" Charles met his eyes fearlessly. "Toby Fuller, ask yourself. Are you related to every danger she's in and threats she receives until today? Oh, bar one—Jessica Reed. Other than her, do you dare to claim that others are none of your business? Tina Gray; the Gray Family; the Salzburg Family; and now, your pursuer. If this continues, Sonia might lose her life someday because of you!"
Toby clenched his fists as he could not refute. Indeed, all of the predicaments cast upon Sonia—besides Jessica's incident—were related to him. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the cause for everything. Toby had evidently caused many troubles to Sonia.
"Sonia." He closed his eyes before staring at her. "Do you think the same too? That I've caused you trouble?"
Although he knew very well himself that he had brought her a lot of problems, he cared more about her stance. If she shared the same notion, he...
No. No matter what she thinks, I'll never break up with her and I'll not let her leave my side. She belongs to me for this lifetime; and the next one; and for eternity!
His eyes flickered a fleeting glint of red glow.
"No." She finally looked at him in the eyes while shaking her head lightly. "They're related to you, but so am I. We can't generalize that you're the cause for their actions since you can't control them. Don't overthink it."
His tight fists loosened up a little, yet Charles was displeased. "Sonia, why are you taking on his side when things are already out of control?"
"Charles, I'm not taking his side. This is the fact and it's not completely on him." She sighed.
Charles snorted. Since he was unable to receive communion from her, he reckoned it was best to pick on Toby.
"Although she said so, don't get full of yourself. No matter what, you're the one to blame for everything that has happened. It's your pursuer that brings the hate train to Sonia. So, if you don't work it out, I'll never agree to anything," warned Charles as he pointed a finger at Toby.
In a same frosty voice, Toby reciprocated, "You're telling me."
Then, he looked at her. "Charles mentioned a test for me. What was that?"
Charles focused his eyes on her and awaited her answer as he was equally curious. Facing the men's gaze, she knew it was redundant to keep it a secret and sighed.
"Before this, I have a few questions for you." Sonia's gaze landed upon Toby.
His eyes glinted in surprise, but it faded the next second. Regaining his composure, he nodded lightly. "Go ahead. I'll tell you everything I know."
"Good." She feigned a smile.
Meanwhile, Charles shuddered as he sensed something was wrong with her. If he was aware of it, Toby should have caught the whiff of it as well. It was then Toby's gaze displayed a doubtful glint.
