A cold smirk appeared on Sonia’s face. “I’ll pass!”
“What?” Taylor’s face froze as Sonia coldly looked at her and explained, “I will never work together with you. You should leave.”
“Why?” A confused Taylor leaned forward. “Tina is your nemesis and she’ll definitely try to get her revenge on you. Us working together will definitely make it easier to subdue her.”
“You’re not wrong. Still, that doesn’t mean that I have to work together with you.” Sonia burst into laughter. “Do you really think that you’re powerful? Well, I won’t agree to it even if you are. Don’t forget that you had already betrayed me once. Do you really think that I’ll trust you again?”
Now that Taylor was taken aback, her expression darkened.
She knew that she had lost Sonia’s trust after she had previously betrayed Sonia. However, she really wanted to work together with Sonia this time because looking for Tina alone really was an arduous task.
Sonia is right. I’m not powerful and I’m not stinky rich either, so I can only work with others to find Tina. On the other hand, Tina’s target is Sonia, whom she has loathed her entire life.
Despite that, Sonia refused to work with Taylor.
“Miss Reed, I’m really sorry for what previously happened. Still, that’s an entirely separate matter, which we can set aside for a future discussion. It’s imperative that we find Tina as soon as possible. None of us will be able to live in peace with Tina at large, so—”
“You may stop talking now.” Sonia raised her hand and impatiently interrupted, “My answer still remains the same. I won’t work together with you, but you don’t have to worry because I’ll find Tina myself. The person whom I'm waiting for is here and you’re taking up her seat, so you should leave now. Don’t make me ask the waitress to send you out if you still refuse to leave!”
“You—” Taylor glared at Sonia with a dark look.
Then, an annoyed Sonia snapped, “Leave!”
“Hmphl You’ll regret this!” Despite not being able to accept Sonia’s harsh rejection, Taylor suppressed her urge to throw a tantrum and rose in a fit of rage before leaving with her purse.
When she arrived at the cafe’s entrance, she almost ran into Grace as well.
Grace had fortunately reacted in the nick of time and moved aside, therefore successfully avoided from being knocked to the ground by Taylor.
When she noticed how Taylor didn’t even notice that she almost ran into another person in her hurry to leave, Grace frowned before a disdainful look appeared on her face.
“Mrs. Lane.” Sonia waved at Grace. “Over here.”
When Grace heard Sonia, her disdain disappeared before she turned around with a smile to head to where Sonia was. “Sonny, I’m sorry for making you wait for me. I was caught up in a traffic congestion on my way here.”
“That’s alright. I just arrived as well.” Sonia rose to help Grace pull her chair out, after which she patted the back of Sonia’s hand in a friendly manner before sitting down.
Then, Sonia returned to her seat before pushing a cup of coffee toward Grace. “Mrs. Lane, I’ve ordered your favorite iced Blue Mountain coffee for you.”
“Thank you, Sonny.” Grace happily took a sip of her coffee.
Sonia took the coffee stirrer and started to stir her own coffee.
At this moment, Grace asked, “By the way, Sonny, who was the girl that went out earlier? I saw you guys talking to each other when I got out of my car. Do you know her?”
Sonia nodded. “I guess you can say so. She’s the missing eldest daughter of Mr. Gray and his wife and they have finally found her.”
“Eldest daughter?” Grace had a look of realization on her face. “As expected from the daughter of Titus and his wife, huh? What an impolite person.”
Sonia nodded in agreement.
“Alright. Let’s not talk about her anymore and cut to the chase. Sonny, do you know why I have asked you out?” Grace placed her cup down and looked at Sonia.
It was at the same moment when Sonia stopped stirring her coffee as well. “I’m guessing that it’s because of Charles?”
It was Grace’s turn to nod. “That’s right.
