Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1385

Chapter 1285

When Lynette recalled the previous two incidents, even she, with all her experience, did not know how Toby would punish her.

She shivered unconsciously, feeling an eerie chill right down her bones, and the mixture of hatred and frustration surged within her.

She was angry at those two useless idiots who were caught so easily. Not only that, but they even snitched on her! They couldn't keep their mouths shut, could they?!

Lynette's eyes were burning with rage as she screamed inwardly, Just you wait! When I survive this, I'll make those idiots pay for what they did to me!

"Take her away," Toby instructed with a wave of his hand.

The bodyguards grabbed her arms and took her away in the other direction.

She didn't beg for mercy, hoping that Toby could forgive her because she knew it wouldn't work. She didn't have Toby's love, but she knew Toby like the back of her hand. Once he made up his mind, no one could stop him, and he would not have a change of heart because of some pleas or persuasion. Begging for mercy would only irritate him further. Right now, she needed to keep her head down.

Therefore, she might as well be taken away quietly. After all, Toby only asked the bodyguards to send her back to the suite instead of punishing her. Then, when she was back in the suite, she could seek Harry's advice on what to do next.

Hence, Lynette left without any protest.

Sonia was befuddled by her lack of reaction and wanted to ask Toby what Lynette was planning.

Although this was the first time that she met Lynette, she could tell what kind of person Lynette was. She was a stubbornly persistent person and would not compromise and surrender so easily. Thus, she shouldn't be acting so meekly when Toby had ordered his men to take her away.

Perhaps he could read Sonia's mind as he ruffled her hair and explained, "Harry is in the suite."

Once those words registered in her mind, it finally dawned on her what Lynette was hoping for. "I almost forgot about that! No wonder she was so quiet. I bet she wants to return to the room as soon as possible to ask for Harry's help."

"Don't worry. I'll let them have a taste of their own medicine." Toby's gaze was entirely threatening as he glared in the direction Lynette left.

Lynette had crossed the line by attempting to harm Sonia and even kill her. Hence, he would avenge Sonia and make Lynette pay dearly.

"Alright, I believe you." Sonia nodded.

Then, Toby pouted and glanced at her with a frown. His glance brought goosebumps all over her body, and she shrunk her neck unconsciously, feeling uneasy by his sudden change of emotions. "What's the matter?"

"I said that I would keep you company and walk to the restroom with you, but you said no. See, someone tried to hurt you." His heartbroken eyes swept across the nail marks on her arm.

She gave him a guilty smile as she hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. "I didn't expect Lynette would try anything."

"And you got hurt." Toby held her arm with undisguised heartache in his eyes. "She would have killed you too if I hadn't arrived in time."

Sonia couldn't say anything in response to that. Indeed, she would have been on her way to the hospital instead of being here in his arms if he hadn't arrived in time.

At the thought of this, Sonia felt the lingering fear inside her and bit her lip in fright. "I didn't know she would be so bold as to try to kill me." She frowned in dismay.

Toby flicked her forehead. This time, he exerted a little force, and her forehead turned red in an instant. "Ouch! Hey! What are you doing?" She complained in pain and glared at him while covering her forehead.

"To teach you a lesson and ensure that you remember it this time." Toby pursed his lips and warned firmly, "I want you always to remember to watch out and be vigilant, especially toward those who have tried to hurt you. Not only that, but you can never show your vulnerable side to others, or you'll be digging your own grave. Do you understand?"

"Yes." She lowered her head. "I hear you."

It was indeed her fault this time, and she was still far too naive.

She knew that Lynette resented her, but she let her guard down since they were in a hotel, and she assumed that Lynette would not be so bold to do anything harmful to her. But now, she knew that an evil person would do anything they wanted to do no matter where they were.

This was indeed a lesson learned.

Once Toby was sure that she had learned her lesson, he heaved a sigh of relief. He held her hand and walked toward the lounge. "Let's go and take care of those nail marks on your arm."

Sonia nodded and obediently went along with him.

Meanwhile, the guards rudely shoved Lynette into the suit, and she almost fell to her knees due to their manhandling.

Harry was drinking coffee. When he saw her being treated harshly, he hastily placed down the coffee cup, stood up, and went to help her up. "Lynette."

"Grandpa." Lynette held Harry's hand with a sad pout. "Look at them! They pushed me!"

Harry glared at the two bodyguards and Tom, who stood beside the guards. "Don't worry. I'll take care of this."

Tom, who heard this, couldn't help rolling his eyes. Take care of this? Who the hell does he think he is?

Just as he was disparaging the old man, Harry turned to him and rebuked, "Mr. Brown, don't you think you're a little rude? I know that the relationship between my family and Toby is a bit ambiguous now, but I'm still his teacher, right? In that case, I'm your boss' teacher. Toby has to treat me respectfully even if he is irritated by me, let alone you guys! But look at what you did! How can you treat Lynette so rudely?! What would you do if you hurt her?!" He reprimanded Tom using his status as an elder.

Tom rolled his eyes again.

Harry always bossed him around and treated him like a servant instead of Toby's assistant in the past. So, of course, he had nothing kind to say about that old coot.

He endured all of this due to Toby's respect and admiration toward Harry, but it was all in the past.

Now, Toby was sure to cut off all relations with the Lores, and he definitely hated them after Lynette attempted to kill Sonia. Therefore, there was no way he would roll over like a puppy after this.

Thus, he found Harry's arrogance and superiority amusing as he bossed him around and questioned him like before.

Does this old man think that I will still treat him with the same regard as before? Tom smirked and thought, In your dreams, old man! I've had enough of you!

At this thought, Tom pursed his lips and drawled, "Mr. Lore, what's with the temper? I treated your darling granddaughter like this because Mr. Fuller gave me the right to do so. You do know that I work for Mr. Fuller, right? I simply treat Miss Lore the way Mr. Fuller treats her. So, Mr. Lore, you don't have to tell me this. It'll only fall on deaf ears. If I hurt Miss Lore in any way, please rest assured that Mr. Fuller can afford her medical bills. I'm sure you know that he's rich, right?"

Tom's sarcastic retort irritated Harry so that his face flushed red in anger. His chest heaved as he tried to come up with something equally insulting. "You... You..."

"Grandpa." Lynette freaked out when she saw Harry so enraged, so she quickly supported him and patted his back to comfort him. She was worried that he would have a heart attack or something since he was no longer in his prime.

She didn't like her parents, but she genuinely loved Harry. She also knew that she could live a carefree and ignorant life because of him. Finally, she knew she would be left with nothing when Harry passed away.
