Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1148

"I do keep in touch with them." Charles touched his nose sheepishly. "Well, you know him too. His name is Lance Walters, and he used to be my subordinate while in high school."

"I know. He seemed silly, but he was righteous and a pretty strong guy too." Sonia nodded.

"That's right. After I was reprimanded by my dad, I had to leave the gang and entrusted the gang to Lance. He wasn't good in his studies, but he was street smart and was able to lead the gang well. On top of that, he had great strength—that was why all of the members below him didn't dare to go against him. Although I haven't asked about how the gang has been doing all these years, I do keep in contact with Lance, so I'm still aware of a thing or two about them. Although they aren't the biggest gang within Seafield, they are considered notable locally, so it wouldn't be an issue to ask for their help," said Charles reassuringly.

Hearing that, Sonia responded, "In that case, it shouldn't be an issue. I'd like to get a few people to put a sack over his head and beat him up. That would be satisfying."

"Sonny, I see that you have gone astray," he said teasingly while staring at her.

"I don't have a choice; what he did was frustrating." She coughed embarrassedly when she noticed his gaze.

"I can tell. If not, someone as docile and kind hearted as you wouldn't have resorted to doing this. It just proves that Connor must have done something unforgivable." He threw his hands up and continued, "Sonny, what did he actually do to make you want to teach him a lesson in such a way?"

"I won't reveal to you about what he's done, but I can tell you that he has done bad things to Toby, which is why I want to teach him a lesson on Toby's behalf. All this while, Toby has been helping me out a lot, but I never got to do much for him. Since my abilities are limited, there's only so much I can do for him, so every little thing counts." Sonia chuckled.

Hearing that, Charles pursed his lips and responded sourly, "So you're doing this just for Toby? I thought Connor offended you again."

"Alright, so would you be willing to help me out?" She laughed as she patted his shoulder.

"How could I reject you when you've already asked for my help?" He glanced at her before adding, "It's not a big deal, so Lance would agree to help out if I ask him to."

"Thank you." Sonia raised her tea cup at him in place of wine.

Noticing that, he raised his tea cup and clinked it with hers. "There's no need to thank me."

"I should be thanking you since there's a risk for doing this." Sonia took a sip of tea and placed the cup down before raising her concern, saying, "Since Connor is the head of the Salzburg Family, he is powerful enough to find out who's behind it. By then, it might complicate Lance …"

"Don't worry." Charles knew what she wanted to say and waved his hand nonchalantly. "Lance has proven to be highly capable, for he has managed to stay in the gang up until today. Don't you think it's unusual that he hasn't been removed by the authorities until now?"

"Unusual?" Sonia was surprised, but she soon figured it out. Her eyes lit up as she pointed upward. "Are you saying that Lance is associated with the authorities?"

"That's right." He nodded and lightly patted the top of her head. "Sonny, you're so smart to be able to figure this out in no time."
