Chapter 1212 A Creepy Phone Call
Even when things had gotten to this point, Grayson still felt that he had done nothing wrong. Stubbornly, he thought that the beating he got was not because of his actions. Rather, it was because Sonia was being petty. It was just a few words. To think she would get so angry. She really is petty. How could such a woman be deserving of Toby?
Including Harry, the other Lores also thought the same, especially Lynette.
She did dislike this father of hers, but no matter what, he was still her father. Sonia, who instigated the beating, made her lose face and dignity.
As such, she decided that she would punish her thoroughly. Lynette then tightened the hold on Harry with spite growing in her eyes. This shocked Harry again, but he did not say anything about it nor reprimand her.
In his eyes, it was good that his granddaughter was acting like this. After all, if one doesn’t act a bit more cruelly, how could they achieve greatness?
Just like me. If I didn’t do something about it, how would Toby become my student? My family would’ve become obsolete by now.
“Worry not. We’ll deal with that woman, Sonia, but not now. We’re on Toby’s bad side now, so things would only get worse if we take actions against her. This is why we must hold it in, even if we have an idea of how to dispose of her. When we reconcile with Toby, then we can take our time in dealing with her.” As Harry was saying this, he shot a warning glance at his son, hinting at him to stay quiet for now.
Sensing his father’s gaze, Grayson lowered his head and kept silent. Harry only looked elsewhere upon seeing this. “You too, Lynette. Don’t go against that woman for now. Just observe the situation.”
Yet, Harry was very gentle when he said this to her and it was a completely different attitude from earlier. Even if Grayson tried to ignore this, he still felt sour inside.
My dear father sure is biased. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I know what to do.” Lynette looked at Harry and nodded earnestly.
Harry patted her on the shoulder. “Okay, I believe in you. Let’s observe the situation for now. That woman doesn’t only have us as enemies, but the Grays also have their eyes on her. Although I’m not sure why they haven’t made a move these few months on her, I believe that one day, either the Grays or the woman will suffer heavy losses when they fight. When that happens, we can strike and thoroughly exterminate her, ensuring that she’ll never get in your way again.”
After hearing Harry’s words, Lynette smiled brightly. “You’re right, Grandpa. Revenge is a dish best served cold.”
She then looked ahead with determined eyes.
Just you wait! Toby will be mine! He can only be mine!
Sonia did not know that just mere miles away, the Lores were discussing how to deal with her.
She had just finished showering and came out from the room when the smell of soup entranced her.
Unable to hold in her desire, she put down the towel in her hand and walked toward the kitchen. Reaching the doorway to the kitchen, she saw the man standing in front of the counter with a spoon in his hand, mixing the pot.
After mixing, he set the ladle down and put some onions into the pot.
Then, he covered it as he took the wet tissue and wiped his hands while turning around.
Yet, just as he did that, he saw the woman smiling at him. Slightly surprised, the man then returned a smile subtly. “Have you finished bathing?”
“Yup. I was just done. I noticed that you weren’t in the living room, so I knew that you were here upon smelling the aroma. As expected, you are standing right here.” Sonia smiled.
Toby came over and held her hand while walking. “Didn’t you want me to keep an eye on the soup? This is why I kept going in and out. I’ve just put in the onions and other ingredients you’ve chopped.”
“I saw it.” Sonia nodded before recalling something. Stopping in her footsteps, she looked at the man with an unsure gaze. “Did you… recognize what bone was inside the soup?”
Hearing her cautiousness made the man smile, but he acted as if he was oblivious to it. “Are you referring to what type of animal bone it is?”
Just as Sonia was about to answer, the man said, “Didn’t you say pork bone? Why are you asking that now? Is it not pork bone?”
