Not only was I stunned by his action, but Flora was also shocked as well. She covered her hands with her face and started sobbing while apologizing to Tobey. I could not help but frown at the scene. Somehow, the happiness which I had felt just a moment ago when help arrived had greatly diminished.
The men in white coats hurried over and restrained Flora, before bringing her upstairs. Flora kept struggling while shouting Tobey’s name, crying her heart out.
Tobey walked toward me and untied me from the chair. “Ms. Goldstein, are you alright? Do you want me to send you to the hospital?” he asked cautiously.
I shook my head, making a mental note to myself. Indeed, Tobey was a man motivated by self-interest. Otherwise, he would have definitely checked on Flora first before showing concern toward me.
“I’m fine. I just need to wash my face. She didn’t really do anything else to me.”
“I’m glad to know that. That’s good, that’s good!” Tobey repeated that a few times, his voice slightly trembling from the lingering fear. Beads of perspiration had already formed on his forehead.
Any good feelings I had developed toward Tobey previously were completely gone because of Flora. In fact, I did not want to talk to him at all. After washing my face, I headed out of the door immediately.
Tobey ran out and caught up with me, offering to send me back. As I was tired, I accepted his offer. When I was about to alight after we reached back at the mansion, Tobey suddenly spoke, “Ms. Goldstein, what happened today is an accident, can you please keep it from Mr. Goldstein and Mrs. Goldstein? I don’t want it to affect the cooperation between the Goldstein and Osborn families.”
I narrowed my eyes and replied in displeasure, “Aren’t you worried about Flora at all? If my dad knows that I was kidnapped by Flora, he would definitely not let her off.”
