Chapter 387 Toby’s Lies
“Let’s talk about this in your room.” Sonia waved him down, telling him to calm down.
Since there were people staring at them, Carl nodded and calmed down for now. “I’ll lead the way.”
After leading the ladies to his room, he closed the door and urged Sonia to tell him what happened.
Sonia told him everything.
Carl squinted darkly. Taylor, huh? You’ll be getting it soon. “Are you sure you’ll heal up, Sonia?” He touched her eyes gently.
Sonia nodded. “Yep, but I don’t know when.” I’ll be leaving Paradigm Co. in Charles’ hands for the time being. “Let’s not talk about this, Carl. Charles is keeping an eye on her, and I’ll handle it once I get back. Let’s talk about you. You have another show tomorrow, right?” Sonia asked.
Carl knew she didn’t want to talk about Taylor, so he went along with it. “Yes, the show is in the morning.”
“I might not be able to attend then.” Sonia sighed regrettably.
Carl got nervous. “Why? Are you going back tomorrow morning?”
“No. My flight’s the day after tomorrow, but I have things to do tomorrow,” Sonia answered cryptically. She wanted to find out if she was really switched at birth and switched back again.
“What is it?” Carl asked.
Sonia smiled. “It’s a secret.”
Carl’s face fell, and he was obviously upset that she wouldn’t tell him.
Sonia noticed his displeasure, so she patted his arm. “Calm down, Carl. This is my family business. I don’t even know what’s going on, so it’s not the time to talk about it. I’ll tell once I find out about the truth.”
“Alright.” That cheered Carl up.
Sonia turned around and told Rebecca, “Rebecca, I want to use the restroom. Please take me there.”
“Sure.” Rebecca put her juice down and helped Sonia go to the restroom. A moment later, Rebecca came back out alone. She stood before Carl and crossed her arms. “So, have you considered it?”
“Consider what?” Carl looked at her darkly.
Rebecca chuckled. “You know what I’m talking about, but since you’re playing dumb, I don’t mind jogging your memory. Are you coming back to the Hayeses?”
Carl pursed his lips. “I refuse.”
“Are you sure?” Rebecca’s smile faded. “Carl, I told you before. If you don’t come back, you’ll lose everything you have in the Hayeses. They’re your birthright, but if you don’t come back, those b*stards are going to usurp the family. Do you want that to happen? The Hayeses got this strong all thanks to your grandfather. Do you want to waste his life’s work?”
Carl looked at her darkly and clenched his fists.
Rebecca calmed down after stirring him up. “So you don’t want to. Then come back. And there’s something else I need to tell you. According to my dad’s intel, Declan is already in Seafield. We don’t know where he is, but we know he’s there for you, so look out.”
“Rebecca,” Sonia called out to her just as Rebecca was done talking.
“Coming!” Rebecca went to the bathroom.
Carl stared at the ground, immersed in his thoughts.
