Chapter 1296 No Such Thing as Family
The words earned the approval of the rest of the parents, as they nodded profusely. Yet, the two women who were lying on the floor full of pain felt nothing but sadness inside.
Although they were their parents, they could act so cruelly and abandon them, placing the family before them. They admitted that they were foolish and were used by others to commit harm, but in the end, they were still their daughters.
How could they abandon us so easily like this? Are they still human? Even though they could not accept this, the two women knew that their parents still cared about them. It was just that they did not care that much.
Often, familial relations were nothing for the wealthy, as when compared, which was more of value, the entire family or a daughter?
If just by abandoning a daughter, they could ensure the continuation of their riches for decades or even centuries to come, why not?
Besides, it was not as if they could not bear another child for the family. Besides their daughters, they also had other children. What they cared about particularly was a male offspring.
If they had a son, then a daughter would be even more insignificant. So what if they abandoned these daughters? Hmph, how laughable.
As the two women lay on the floor, tears fell from their faces with an infinite amount of hatred surging from within.
They hated their family and their parents. Most of all, they hated Lynette.
They would not do anything to their families or parents, for they were raised by them for over twenty years and their families did not let them down either.
Yet, it was a different case for Lynette since they would not let her go this easily.
After being landed in this position, if they did not take their revenge, then they would be letting themselves down.
Exchanging glances, they swore to make Lynette pay.
At the entrance, their parents still did not know of their daughter’s hatred, as they were still talking to Toby’s bodyguards, hoping that they would pass the word on that he could do anything to their daughters in hopes of not touching their families.
The bodyguards, who saw that they would quickly abandon their daughters to save themselves, had a flash of disdain in their gazes, as they stated, “Don’t worry. I will pass your word on. But the final decision remains with President Fuller, which has nothing to do with us. You all can go back now.”
“Go back?” They were stunned.
Nodding, the bodyguard then pointed at the two women lying on the floor. “Bring them away too.”
“Of course, of course,” they responded quickly.
Not knowing how Toby was going to deal with them, both families were worried sick over the potential outcome.
Yet, the thought of being able to go back made them slightly relieved.
After all, if they could go back, why would they want to be locked up willingly here?
Besides, after going back, they could contact their relatives and friends to discuss how to lessen Toby’s anger to preserve their bloodline.
So, after getting the bodyguard’s permission, they quickly carried their daughters and left in a hurry.
After they left, the bodyguard immediately took his phone out and reported the proceedings to Tom.
Tom, who heard all this, told everything to Toby.
Toby had just finished showering and was dressed in a loose bathroom while standing in front of the window.
He was on the top floor of the building, which was a full two hundred meters from the ground. Lowering his head slightly, he could take in the whole skyline of the city. The scenery was spectacular.
Standing in front of the window, Toby was drying his hair with a towel in one hand while the other was holding a phone with Tom on the line.
After Tom finished conveying everything, Toby did not have much of a reaction, as he only replied, “Don’t need to pay them too much attention. Just carry on with my instructions as before. As for those two women, you don’t have to tell them to go abroad. If you do that, then who’s going to set traps for Lynette?”
