Chapter 1210 Grayson’s Photo
Toby crossed his legs elegantly as he put one of his arms sluggishly on the backrest of the couch. With his other hand holding the phone, he tapped open Tom’s message unhurriedly.
The content was simple with just one sentence. ‘President Fuller, this is the photo that Miss Reed wants to see. I’ve sent it to you. Please forward it to her.’
It had a ‘thank you’ sticker at the end, and above the sticker and text were two photos. As he studied the photos, he saw that they were photos of Grayson seeking medical treatment from a doctor in a hospital.
In the photos, Grayson’s mouth was seriously swollen as though they were two sausages. On top of that, he had a furious expression, which made him look extremely hilarious.
Seeing that, Toby knitted his brows together and closed the photo in slight disgust. After that, he tapped on the forward button and sent it to Sonia.
At this moment, Sonia’s phone was on the tea table in the living room, which was just in front of Toby.
After he sent them over, her phone vibrated right away, and the screen lit up as well.
When he saw that, only then did he turn off his phone and throw it onto the tea table. Then, he picked up the remote control to turn on the television and watched the news of the day.
At the same time, at the Lore Residence, Grayson was sitting on a couch as well. He had a well-folded towel in his hand and was using it to ice his mouth. He kept groaning in pain as he was doing that.
Amelia, who was sitting beside him, felt so bad for her husband when she saw him like this. Her eyes were red, and teardrops were rolling down her cheeks. “How are you feeling, honey? Does it hurt a lot?”
When Grayson heard that, he glared at her irritably. “What do you think? Will I groan like this if it’s not painful?”
Since his mouth was very swollen and he was in a lot of pain, he couldn’t part his mouth as he wished. So, he was slurring his words, which sounded quite hilarious.
After Amelia was scolded by Grayson, not only did she not feel sulky, she felt worse for him as more tears streamed down her face. “How can Toby be like this? How can he hit you like this? After all, you’re older than him. He’s really outrageous, treating you so mercilessly.”
Grayson nodded his head in agreement as his eyes were filled with resentment. “I know, right? I didn’t know that he’d hit me so hard. He dared to treat me like this just for a woman? This is such a humiliation to me!”
Since he was born, other than being beaten by his father when he was young, no one else had dared to lay a hand on him. Even when the Lore Family’s status last time was nothing like it was now, no one dared to hit him either.
Yet, Toby actually asked people to lay their hands on him and even slapped him silly. It was already far from just physical punishment, but more like humiliation. If this got out, how was he going to continue to stay in the circle in the future? How was he going to meet anyone?
At this moment, Amelia took over Grayson’s towel, which was pressed against his mouth. When she saw that the ice in the towel had already melted, she added some ice cubes into it while crying and folded it back confidently before gently putting it back on his lips.
Probably because the ice was newly added, the towel was much colder than it was earlier. As soon as it touched his mouth, he was shocked by the cold at once, and his body trembled a little.
This tremble made his swollen mouth rub against the towel. It hurt him so much that he jumped up and threw the towel at Amelia furiously. With an exasperated face, he bellowed, “What are you doing?! Can’t you be a little more careful? Do you think that I’m still not hurt enough, huh?”
Although her back was in pain from his actions, she didn’t dare resent him and wasn’t willing to do so either. She quickly picked up the towel and stood up before apologizing to him with her face covered in guilt. “I’m sorry, honey. I didn’t do it on purpose. Are you okay? Let me see…”
She reached out her hand to check him out, but he swatted her hand away in annoyance.
Slap. The back of her hand was red from Grayson’s slap.
