“No need for that,” Toby answered coolly. The plate was already filled with snacks, so he put his tongs down and was about to leave.
However, Charles stopped him, “Hold it, Mr. Fuller.”
Toby stopped and looked at him expressionlessly. “What else do you need?”
“I hope you haven’t forgotten what you said this morning. Now that Miss Gray’s awake, it’s time to settle this, I think.” Charles crossed his arms, smiling faintly. “We’re not going to ask for much. She just has to bow to Sonia and say she’s sorry. Fair, isn’t it?” Pfft. An apology won’t even cut it. If I had the evidence, I would have called the cops and send that b*tch behind bars.
Toby frowned. “You want her to apologize?”
“That is correct.” Charles nodded.
Toby sneered, then he looked at Sonia. “Is that what you want as well?”
Sonia put her juice down and smiled. “She had it out for me, so I think an apology is just fair.” Please. An apology won’t cut it. I wouldn’t even bat an eye if this costs her an arm and a leg, literally. That woman tried to kill me so many times. Sparing her life is already merciful enough.
Even Zane, Rebecca, and Tyler thought that was a reasonable demand.
Toby’s face fell. “I can get her to apologize, but on one condition. You have to apologize as well, Sonia.”
“What did you say?” Charles was flabbergasted.
Zane, Rebecca, and Tyler were incredulous as well.
A frown creased Sonia’s forehead. “Why should I apologize?”
“Yeah! Why should she apologize? She’s the victim here. Why should she apologize to that woman? That’s unreasonable!” Charles glared at him. “How the heck did Fuller Group survive when its boss is a nincompoop like you?” It’s a miracle the company didn’t go bust with this dumb*ss leading it.
Toby ignored Charles and only looked at Sonia. “You knew Tina has dissociative identity disorder, but still you triggered her,” Toby said coldly. “That’s why she tried to get the snake to attack you. Part of this is your fault.”
“I triggered her?” Sonia pointed at herself, laughing mirthlessly. Well, I didn’t know I triggered her. Does this mean I’m sick in the head as well? Heck, I didn’t even say anything to her by the brook.
Toby continued, “Yes, so you’ll have to apologize as well.” With that, he left the dining room.
Sonia saw him off with a mocking smile.
“Sonia.” Charles patted her shoulder. “Did you really say something to trigger Tina?”
“Is that a trick question? I don’t even care about her, much less talk to her.” She rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Zane grinned. “That woman lied to Toby, obviously. She said you triggered her, so that’s why she attacked you.”
“To make things worse, Toby actually believed her. Is he a dumb*ass or what?” Charles was bellowing with laughter.
Sonia stared into the air coldly. “Of course he believes her. Tina’s his sweetheart after all. Everyone trusts their lover.”
“Then that just makes Tina a triple b*tch!” Charles slammed the table. “Why triple? Cause two negatives make a positive, but that b*tch doesn’t have an ounce of goodness in her.”
Rebecca nodded. Tina was the worst woman she had ever seen, and that was saying something since she came across the women of the Hayes Family before.
