Charles' words were exactly what Sonia meant, so she decided to keep silent and admitted to it
wordlessly.
Toby clenched his fist once again and he did it so forcefully that there was an audible crack from his
knuckles.
"I won't agree to us breaking up. I won't even give you the chance to break up with me." Toby kept his
eyes on Sonia as he enunciated each word carefully and firmly.
She was the person he had been in love with for more than ten years; she was someone whom he had
once shared his life with before losing her again; she was also someone whom he had rescued in
exchange of his near-death experience. Therefore, he would never give her the chance to break up
with him. There was no way on earth that it would ever happen.
Sonia could tell from Toby's eyes with what he intended to express and she was sincerely shocked by
that. Finally, she moved her red lips and started to speak up, "So, it is me that you have chosen."
Toby instantly took her into his arms right in front of Charles and placed a hand behind the back of her
head as he spoke genuinely, "Yes, it will always be you."
Although she had expected this, as soon as she heard Toby express it verbally in person, she could not
contain her shocked expression.
She slowly withdrew herself from Toby's arms and lifted her head to look at the man in front of her. "Are
you sure about this? You should be aware that the other person we're talking about here is your
esteemed mentor. Although this matter isn't initiated by him but his granddaughter, I'm guessing that he
wouldn't want us to kick up a big fuss about this and just let bygones be bygones. Surely, he would
want to save his granddaughter. If you refuse, would your mentor accept this graciously and let things
be?"
"You must be joking." Charles rolled his eyes. "I've met Mr. Lore twice and he's just an idiotic old man
who sides with the younger generation of his family quite unreasonably. His favorite granddaughter is
Lynette. There are too many sons in the Lore Family while Lynette's the only daughter, so obviously,
she's spoiled rotten in their family. Not only does everyone in the family dote on her, but Mr. Lore also
spoils her to her core. He doesn't even realize that his actions have turned her into a spoiled brat and
seems to assume that this is just her childlike nature. Ha. I think he seems to be quite proud of that
too."
As soon as Charles mentioned that, he suddenly revealed a scoffing look. "Sonny, I don't know whether
you've heard of this story before, but eight years ago, I attended a dinner party and Mr. Lore and his
family were in attendance too. The atmosphere at the dinner party was quite nice and peaceful, and
everyone mingled around as they enjoyed some drinks, and chatted with each other. However, soon
after that, a group of debutantes suddenly got into a fight. Guess why?"
Sonia shook her head. "I don't know. I wasn't in attendance at the dinner party that you just mentioned."
Eight years ago, her dad was still alive and he was the chairman of Paradigm Co. at that time.
However, Paradigm Co. was gradually experiencing a downturn back then, so most of the organizers of
dinner parties would skip the invitation to the Reed Family. Naturally, she did not get to attend that
dinner party, so she wouldn't have known what went on there.
She turned to glance at Toby and there was a questioning look in her eyes. Do you know about this
incident that Charlie just mentioned?
Toby shook his head slightly. "No, I don't know anything about that. I didn't attend that dinner party. I
usually get invited to a lot of functions and I don't really have the time to attend every single one of
them."
At that point, Sonia grimaced slightly. She realized that he was not, in fact, trying to show off. After all, it
was normal for him to receive countless invitations to dinner parties due to his status, but as she heard
his words, she found herself quite envious of him.
Truth be told, most people would resort to anything—even paying exorbitant amounts of money—to
obtain an invitation to a dinner party. The reason was so that they could join the dinner party and
mingle with those people of higher social status. However, for Toby, he did not even have to ask for the
things that others seemed to yearn so badly for and yet were out of reach for them. Furthermore, he
generally attended those functions based on his mood. If he turned up, he would always be given a
personal and warm welcome by the host of the dinner party. Even if he did not turn up, no one would
comment on that. That was just how much different it was for people of different social statuses.
At that moment, she no longer wanted to speak to Toby to avoid being subconsciously flaunted. She
quickly shifted her eyes and turned to Charles. "Charles, keep going, then. What was the reason for the
row?"
Charles grunted in response and continued his topic, "The reason was that one of the girls bought a
dress that Lynette missed out on, and out of anger, Lynette splashed wine on that girl. The girl Lynette
splashed wine on was also doted upon by her family members, so she had quite a temper too.
Subsequently, the two girls got into a fight and in the end, the other girls in their respective cliques got
involved in the fight as well. The dinner party ended up in havoc. The family members of the girls finally
heard about the fight and rushed over in a hurry."
"What happened next?" Sonia's interest was piqued. "How did the matter get resolved?"
Charles laughed derisively. "In the end, this matter ended after the girl who was splashed with wine
apologized to Lynette. Furthermore, the girl also had to provide a lot of gifts to Lynette as
compensation."
"What?!" Sonia felt as if she was listening to the biggest joke ever as she revealed an exasperated
smile. "That was too much! How on earth could a victim be expected to apologize and even provide
compensation to the perpetrator? This is the first time ever that I've heard of such a ridiculous thing!"
Sonia was not the only one who found the situation ludicrous. Even Toby, who was slightly connected
to the perpetrator, found it ridiculous too. However, he linked the situation to his mentor's protective
stance toward his family members and at that point, Toby had a basic idea of how the matter got
resolved.
"You do find this quite ludicrous too, huh?" Charles looked at Toby, who was lost in thoughts, before
frowning. "The person who caused all this was Lynette's grandfather—Toby's mentor—and he's also
the idiotic old man who sides with the younger generation of his family unreasonably like I mentioned
before. After he was told the entire situation, not only did he not chastise his granddaughter, he even
shifted the blame to the other girl. From the words he spoke, he seemed to imply that the girl shouldn't
have worn that dress she had on and this incident would not have occurred if she hadn't had that
dress. Ultimately, his granddaughter was the innocent one and the other girl was to be blamed for all
this. The girl and her family members were angered beyond words by that, but there was nothing else
they could do about the situation. After all, the Lore Family had the Fullers backing them."
Charles continued to purse his lips. "There you go, it's the Fuller Family here. The entire Seafield
knows that Mr. Lore is Toby's mentor and that Toby has always been very respectful toward him. As
such, the girl's family members were worried about offending the backers of the Lore Family—a.k.a. the
Fullers—so they had no choice but to suffer the injustice despite their reluctance. They ended up
making the first move to apologize to the Lores. Sonny, that's why you should realize by now that that
old Lore is an unreasonable and warped selfish man. He knew that his granddaughter was at fault, yet
he purposely chose to overlook that part. Clearly, the Lores are despicable."
As soon as Charles said that, Toby instantly shot him a stern look.
However, Charles held his head high. "Why are you staring at me, huh? I hold the same stance
regardless of how you feel and besides, I'm not slandering them! Your mentor is a despicable person. I
can't believe that someone like him is a professor! He's just one without moralities. Besides, the entire
Seaview knows about the Lores' bad behaviors anyway!"
At that point, Toby remained silent.
Sonia glanced at him. "Is everything that Charles has mentioned to be true? Is your mentor such an
overly protective man?"
Toby gave Charles the side-eye and gradually lifted his head. "My mentor is overly protective of his
granddaughter. However, I didn't know about the incident that Charles just mentioned and I've never
heard of that either."
"Though you've never heard of that, it doesn't mean that it never happened." Charles crossed his arms
and scoffed, "Besides, the reason why you've never heard of that is because the Lores would never
bring that up in front of you. After all, they made use of your reputation to resolve the matter. If they
took the initiative to bring it up in front of you, then you would have found out that they were behaving
insolently outside by flaunting your name. As for why the others never mentioned it to you, well, it's
simply because they're afraid that you would go after them unreasonably—as the Lores did—if you
found out. That's why, somehow, everyone seemed to have a mutual understanding to keep it a secret
from you."
