After dwelling on it for a while, Titus finally agreed to Julia's words and gave Taylor three hundred thousand. As for the rest, except the part given to Julia, he changed the ownership of all his properties, including Triforce Enterprise, to Sonia.
The authorities were still investigating the incident that happened in the mine cave that year. He knew that the moment the cat was out of the bag, Triforce Enterprise would face the greatest blow and two-thirds of the company property might be lost.
However, if the remaining one-third of the company was integrated into Paradigm Co., it would bring gigantic help to Paradigm Co. and might even help Paradigm to be listed again. As Sonia's father, it was the only thing that he could give her.
Titus hung up the call after he revised his will with the help of the lawyer on the other end of the phone. After that, he called Toby.
Toby was on his way back to the hospital. When his phone rang, he found that it was a call from Titus, but he was not surprised at all and immediately picked up the call. "Seems like you've made up your mind, President Gray."
"Yes, I have. I want the best for my daughter, but I want to see her before that," Titus requested.
Julia also clenched her fists nervously. After all, Sonia was their daughter. Of course, they wanted to see her.
Even Toby felt that Titus' request was reasonable. After a pause, he replied, "I came to see you guys without her knowledge today. So, I've got to tell her the truth if you want to see her. However, it's up to her whether she wants to meet you guys or not."
"Okay, just tell her." Titus nodded.
Toby hummed in assent before hanging up the call.
Tom, who was driving, asked, "President Fuller, did Titus come around? Will he go through with it?"
Toby massaged his temple briefly. "Yes, he will. His love for Sonia is real."
"I didn't expect he would accept the fact that Miss Reed is his daughter so soon. I thought that there was still hatred and misunderstanding between them. As much as Titus yearns for a daughter, he wouldn't have accepted Miss Reed so soon. Surprisingly, I underestimated him," Tom elaborated while driving.
On the other hand, Toby opened his thin lips and responded lightly, "It's very simple. It's because he wasn't supposed to have a child at all. It's a miracle that he got Little Leaf as his daughter, so he'll adore this daughter of his vehemently. Even if a grudge exists between them, he won't mind, because all he's concerned about is having a daughter."
If I were in his shoes, I might have done the same thing. After all, it's natural for a father to love his child. Although his child holds a grudge against him, it's all because of what the parents had done. So, the child can't be blamed.
"Well, Miss Reed is rather lucky." Tom sighed. "She bumped into two sets of parents who treated her well. It's just that we're all at the mercy of fate."
Toby was noncommittal. Yeah, we're all but fools at the hands of destiny.
"President Fuller, do you think she will agree to meet them?" Tom raised another question.
He looked out of the window. "Umm… I don't know. It depends on her, but I'll support her regardless of her decision."
After that, they fell into silence, and no one spoke. Toby leaned against the seat and gently closed his eyes to rest for a while.
When Tom saw that from the rearview mirror, he turned on the car's active noise cancellation to let him have a better rest.
They soon arrived at the hospital.
Toby opened his eyes without waiting for Tom to wake him up. It was clear that he was not asleep. After he alighted from the car, he entered the hospital and headed toward the ward. However, he heard Sonia talking to a man when he reached the door. Upon listening closely, he realized it was Zane's voice.
