Toby knew he would have to give Sonia a good explanation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be allowed to enter the bedroom ever again.
He massaged his forehead.
Just then, Mary asked, "Do you want to check on that Gray woman, Young Master Toby?"
Toby shook his head. He had an icy expression as he said, "No. That can wait until Little Leaf wakes up."
He wouldn't feel reassured until Sonia woke up.
As for Rina, there's no rush. It's not as if she'd die.
Mary didn't press the issue, though she expressed her confusion. "Young Master Toby, according to the footage just now, that woman said that Young Mistress Sonia is Titus Gray's daughter. She also said you knew about it and helped hide her real identity. Is that true?"
Toby pursed his lips. It was a while before he replied, "It's true."
Mary gasped. "No wonder Young Mistress Sonia was so upset. She always thought her birth parents had abandoned her and the Reeds adopted her. That's why she's determined to avenge them, but now she's become her enemy's daughter. Anyone would have a breakdown before they even get to take the revenge."
No one would be able to accept this news.
On one side, she had her adoptive parents who cherished her and doted on her.
On the other side, she had her birth parents who hadn't abandoned her after all. It was her adoptive parents who took her away from them.
Young Mistress Sonia might not have broken down if the couple no longer had any love for her after over two decades of separation, no matter if they did abandon her, or if someone did steal her away.
That way, Young Mistress Sonia could take her revenge on Titus Gray without any emotional burden. Why would she have to show mercy to her birth parents if they didn't love her?
However, that was not the case.
Even though Titus and his wife Julia had been separated from their oldest daughter for over two decades, their love for her hadn't declined.
Everyone saw the way the couple doted on the fake Rina when she was reunited with the family. They tried their best to make it up to her.
The couple truly loved their daughter.
Now that Young Mistress Sonia turned out to be their daughter, it'd be a shock if she was able to harden her heart against them when she knew just how much they loved their daughter.
Alas… Life has played such a cruel joke on them.
"If only that woman didn't come here and tell Young Mistress Sonia her real identity," Mary fumed. "If she wanted to be Rina Gray, she should've stuck with that identity for the rest of her life. Why did she come and tell Young Mistress Sonia about it? She nearly caused…"
Mary was still a little scared and couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence, but she loathed Rina with every fiber of her being.
Toby's expression was unpleasant.
That's right. Since she wanted to take Little Leaf's identity, I gave her the chance to do just that, so she should've stuck with it for the rest of her life.
Yet, she chose to come and cause trouble as if she had a death wish.
Toby narrowed his eyes which glinted murderously.
"Does anyone else know about this, apart from you and that woman, Young Master Toby?" Mary asked.
Toby rubbed his nose bridge. "The Lanes know about it too."
"No one else, apart from the Lanes?"
