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.
