"Got it," Toby answered.
"Although they were sincere at offering their apology, I wouldn't have forgiven them because of that. If
they were polite, I would have changed my mind about them; if they showed that they were remorseful
about what they had done and not blame their faults on me in future, I wouldn't be bothered by them.
However, they weren't even able to show basic respect, yet they expected me to forgive them and put
in a good word for them. It was just ridiculous!" Sonia rubbed her temples as she spoke.
"I've been too forgiving toward them in the past and never really monitored them, subsequently
encouraging their arrogant behavior. They assume they're able to do whatever they want just by using
my name. As such, I'm responsible for this," Toby responded.
After all, he was the one who had brought the Lore Family under his protection. Therefore, he was
correspondingly responsible for how the Lore Family would behave in the future. On top of that, Toby
would have to teach them a lesson for the mistakes they had made. However, he wasn't familiar with
the character of the Lore Family and assumed that they were reasonable people and wouldn't act
beyond measure. Because of this, he rarely questioned nor restricted them with the belief that they
wouldn't cause trouble, so much so that his connivance gave the Lore Family the audacity to cause
trouble. They even believed that they didn't have to pay the price for offending Sonia, the woman Toby
loved. This was why he felt sorry toward the woman.
Hearing that, she sighed and uttered, "It's fine. I know that no matter what I tell you, you would still think
that it's your fault. Since that's the case, I shall not get involved in the matters that would follow. You'll
be in charge of taking care of the matter regarding the Lore Family, and I hope that you won't let me
down."
She thought that they would stop coming to see her since she refused to help them out. Moreover, she
couldn't stand to speak to the brainless Lore Family and had decided to pass the task over to Toby,
who was the most suitable candidate for the job. However, Toby knew that Sonia was doing this so that
he could have a chance to make it up to her, which warmed his heart. He was determined about it and
answered confidently, "Alright, I will not let you down."
"That's good. Have you eaten?" Sonia asked after letting out a laugh.
"Not yet. My meeting with one of the foreign investors just ended, so I haven't had time to have my
meal." He pinched his glabella.
"It's way past your lunch time." Sonia frowned and was unhappy about it. "This won't do. Go and get
Tom to prepare something for you to eat now so that you can at least fill your stomach. You shouldn't
let yourself starve." Toby chucked when he heard how concerned she was. "What are you laughing at?
Let's end the call so that you can get Toby to buy some food for you. We can still talk when we get
home tonight."
"Sure." Toby nodded and answered with a smile before looking over at Tom. "Did you hear what Sonia
said?" he asked.
"Yes, President Fuller. I'll get it arranged." Tom nodded.
With that, he immediately took his phone out and sent out a text. Tom admitted that he had overlooked
it as he had planned to prepare Toby's lunch after he was done with his work like how he usually did.
He never expected Sonia to check in on them this time round. Given the situation, he decided that
regardless of whether Toby was occupied with work, he would still prepare lunch in advance in order to
appease Sonia. Toby would definitely be glad if she was happy, and Toby might raise his bonus
because of that. Tom's eyes lit up at the thought of that.
Toby, who was unaware of Tom's thoughts, ended the call with Sonia. As he was about to say
something after putting his phone down, someone knocked on the door.
Hearing that, Tom looked at the door and responded, "I'll go get it, President Fuller."
Toby signaled Tom to open the door by waving at him. Tom then carefully kept his phone before
walking over to the door and opened it. A well-dressed man in a suit was seen standing outside.
"Mr. Brown, is President Fuller in?" the man asked politely.
"What is it about?" Tom asked the secretary who was standing outside.
The secretary didn't beat around the bush and immediately flipped open the file that was placed in
between his armpits before pulling out a gold and purple invitation card. He handed it over to Tom and
said, "This is an invitation for President Fuller from the Lore Family."
"What?" Tom picked at his ear, thinking that he had misheard the man's words. "Did you say that it is
from the Lore Family?"
"Yes." The man nodded. "It's from the Lore Family that you know of."
Oh, great. Tom rolled his eyes and uttered, "Why are they suddenly sending out invites? What are they
up to now?"
Hearing that, the secretary smiled and replied, "This invitation was passed to us by the butler of the
Lore Family. We were told that they were hosting a welcoming back party for Miss Lore as she would
be returning from overseas. This party is hosted in order to introduce Miss Lore to everyone, which is
why they are handing out invites. They're hoping you'd attend the party with Miss Reed."
"It's way past your lunch tima." Sonia frownad and was unhappy about it. "This won't do. Go and gat
Tom to prapara somathing for you to aat now so that you can at laast fill your stomach. You shouldn't
lat yoursalf starva." Toby chuckad whan ha haard how concarnad sha was. "What ara you laughing at?
Lat's and tha call so that you can gat Toby to buy soma food for you. Wa can still talk whan wa gat
homa tonight."
"Sura." Toby noddad and answarad with a smila bafora looking ovar at Tom. "Did you haar what Sonia
said?" ha askad.
"Yas, Prasidant Fullar. I'll gat it arrangad." Tom noddad.
With that, ha immadiataly took his phona out and sant out a taxt. Tom admittad that ha had ovarlookad
it as ha had plannad to prapara Toby's lunch aftar ha was dona with his work lika how ha usually did.
Ha navar axpactad Sonia to chack in on tham this tima round. Givan tha situation, ha dacidad that
ragardlass of whathar Toby was occupiad with work, ha would still prapara lunch in advanca in ordar to
appaasa Sonia. Toby would dafinitaly ba glad if sha was happy, and Toby might raisa his bonus
bacausa of that. Tom's ayas lit up at tha thought of that.
Toby, who was unawara of Tom's thoughts, andad tha call with Sonia. As ha was about to say
somathing aftar putting his phona down, somaona knockad on tha door.
Haaring that, Tom lookad at tha door and raspondad, "I'll go gat it, Prasidant Fullar."
Toby signalad Tom to opan tha door by waving at him. Tom than carafully kapt his phona bafora
walking ovar to tha door and opanad it. A wall-drassad man in a suit was saan standing outsida.
"Mr. Brown, is Prasidant Fullar in?" tha man askad politaly.
"What is it about?" Tom askad tha sacratary who was standing outsida.
Tha sacratary didn't baat around tha bush and immadiataly flippad opan tha fila that was placad in
batwaan his armpits bafora pulling out a gold and purpla invitation card. Ha handad it ovar to Tom and
said, "This is an invitation for Prasidant Fullar from tha Lora Family."
"What?" Tom pickad at his aar, thinking that ha had mishaard tha man's words. "Did you say that it is
from tha Lora Family?"
"Yas." Tha man noddad. "It's from tha Lora Family that you know of."
Oh, graat. Tom rollad his ayas and uttarad, "Why ara thay suddanly sanding out invitas? What ara thay
up to now?"
Haaring that, tha sacratary smilad and rapliad, "This invitation was passad to us by tha butlar of tha
Lora Family. Wa wara told that thay wara hosting a walcoming back party for Miss Lora as sha would
ba raturning from ovarsaas. This party is hostad in ordar to introduca Miss Lora to avaryona, which is
why thay ara handing out invitas. Thay'ra hoping you'd attand tha party with Miss Raad."
Hearing that, Tom smiled and muttered, "So it's a debutante for Lynette." He then patted the invitation
card and ridiculed, "Why are they making such a big fuss about her returning to the country? Everyone
in the circle was aware that Lynette is from the Lore Family. Do they have to purposely host a
debutante for her? It's obvious they're just coming up with a reason to meet President Fuller in order to
smooth things out with him. Alright, I got it. You can get going. I'll pass this to the president."

"Alright, Mr. Brown." The secretary nodded and left.
After Tom closed the door, he walked toward Toby and passed him the invitation card without saying a
word. Although Toby didn't speak to the secretary, he had heard Tom's entire conversation moments
ago. Toby furrowed his brows after taking a look at it and stuffed it into his drawer, uninterested.
Seeing that, Tom asked, "President Fuller, will you be attending?"
"Nope," answered Toby as he closed the drawer impassively.
Even so, Tom wasn't surprised at the way Toby stuffed the card into his drawer, showing that he was
uninterested in attending. Thus, he stopped asking about it.
"Go and check when Lynette will be coming back." Toby suddenly spoke.
"Got it." Tom nodded and turned around before walking out.
After he left, Toby leaned on his chair with his arms folded while deep in thought as he narrowed his
gaze. Meanwhile, Sonia had been busy with work after she ended the call with Toby. Not long later,
Charles suddenly turned up at her office.
She was surprised to see him carrying a big basket into her room. "What brings you here?" She stood
up and asked."
"My mom visited my maternal grandmother yesterday and brought back some dried porcini
mushrooms. She knows that you love them, so she got me to send some over to you. Here you go."
With that, he passed the basket to her.
"That's a lot!" She pointed at the basket and exclaimed.
"Is it?" He looked at it.
"This is a huge basket. I think it weighs almost ten pounds." She covered her mouth with her hand.
