Chapter
Sonia glanced at Grayson coldly as she spoke. "Although you said you were here to apologize, I don't see you bringing Lynette, let alone some apology gifts. Moreover, you are ill-mannered. Is this how you apologize to someone? If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were here to ask for a protection racket."
At this moment, Grayson's assistant, who stood behind him, subconsciously nodded. That's right. I knew this would not end well when I saw Mr. Lore coming out empty-handed earlier. I advised him to bring some gifts along, but he just wouldn't listen, and there was nothing I could do about it. Mr. Lore deserves to be scolded by Miss Reed.
However, despite the fact that Grayson's assistant sided with Sonia's words, Grayson himself was unhappy with it. He squinted his eyes at her and said darkly, "Apology gifts? From your perspective, am I asking for a protection racket instead of apologizing to you?"
Sonia smiled faintly and said, "Although you are not, your attitude makes it seems like it. With all due respect, I don't see how you are apologizing, Mr. Lore. I still stand by my words; apologize like you mean it. You are here because Toby dissociated himself from your family, right?"
As he listened to her words, Grayson gripped his knuckles and didn't say anything. However, his expression said otherwise.
"I guess so." Sonia crossed her legs and leaned against the armrest. "It has been forty-eight hours since this matter happened. However, you guys never contacted me to apologize. It was only when Toby kept clear with your family that you decided to come and apologize. This shows that you are here by force. Not only that, your attitude is terrible, and there aren't any apology gifts. I can see that you are not being sincere."
When she spoke, her tone was calm as if she was talking about the weather. However, her sarcastic words were like needles piercing into Grayson's heart, exposing his true thoughts out in the open.
At that moment, Grayson's expression was ugly, and he gripped the armrest even tighter. If it weren't that he was still rational and knew that he hadn't made his point, he would have stood up and left.
To him, even if he was thinking about it, no one should ever say it aloud. Sonia should have pretended not to know and accepted his apology. After all, he was an elder to her! It was so frustrating since she wouldn't oblige him.
While Grayson was trembling from either frustration or embarrassment, there was a hint of mockery in Sonia's eyes as she looked at him.
Then, she opened her mouth and said, "I'm only an ordinary person, Mr. Lore. I like to be more realistic. Since you are here to apologize, I would advise you to bring Lynette over and ask her to apologize to me in person while you prepare some gifts that will satisfy me. Lastly, I hope you two can be well-mannered and bow to me. By then, perhaps I'll look over the part where you guys made a mistake and had not disciplined Lynette well. Simply put, I will not accept your apology this time. Please come by again when you are all set." Then, she picked up her cup, asking him to leave.
When Grayson heard her request for gifts and bows, he was red from anger. "You're being greedy, Sonia. Your desire is hideous for asking for gifts, our bows, and wanting Lynette to apologize in person," he snapped.
