Sonia intentionally emphasized the words 'childish yet direct' and looked toward the driver's seat.
Tom, who was behind the wheel, felt a chill down his spine and chuckled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Miss
Reed. I shouldn't have used those words. I wouldn't have said that if I had known that you were the
mastermind behind Connor's beating."
Yikes, I didn't know that Miss Reed could be so vindictive. Yes, I did say that the method of sacking
Connor and beating him up is childish yet flimsy, but I complimented her for doing a good job, didn't I?
She did beat the cr*p out of Connor.
To his bewilderment, Sonia selectively remembered his ridicule but not his praise. It was an intended
retaliation, wasn't it?
After she had been in Toby's company for so long, she became as petty and vindictive as him now.
Toby was truly one of the worst!
She covered her lips and giggled when she noticed Tom's bitter grimace. "I'm just kidding, Tom. I'm
sorry. Don't mind me."
Tom rolled his eyes speechlessly. Miss Reed, do you know that your so-called joke can put me in a
difficult situation?
Toby, who was sitting next to Sonia, noticed the changes in Tom's expressions too. However, he wasn't
as forgiving as he snorted, "Don't apologize to him. It serves him right for spilling the beans, so he
should be prepared for karma to hit him."
Tom shook his head slightly. Mr. Fuller, how can you say that? I insulted many people in the past, but
you always enabled me. Yet, now that it is Miss Reed, you choose to take her side. What a hypocrite.
Do you think I don't know that you are trying to flatter her?
Sonia hurriedly changed the subject when she observed Tom's depressed state in order to prevent him
from getting more discouraged. "But Tom is right about one thing. Although I couldn't help you out with
other things, this method could inflict direct pain on Connor, so it is a good way to avenge you."
At this moment, Tom's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and said, "Mr. Fuller, Miss Reed, it's our
men who I asked to keep an eye on Connor. I think they found out about Connor's injury."
"Answer it." Toby raised his chin.
Sonia pricked up her ears, too, because she wanted to know how badly they had beaten Connor.
Tom answered the call, nodded and talked to the person on the other end of the line, and ended the
call. The whole duration was less than a minute.
"They said that after Connor's assistant found him, he rushed him to the nearest private hospital, and
the diagnosis of his injury was out. He was seriously injured. Two teeth were knocked out, swollen left
eye, one broken rib, sprained right ankle, and dislocated elbow. The doctor said that he would need to
be hospitalized for a month," Tom reported excitedly.
"What?" Sonia gasped in shock. "That's quite serious."
She only saw his bruised face from the photos and guessed that his body must be injured too, but the
injuries might be superficial. She had underestimated her men's strength.
"Yes, it's quite serious, but for a scum like Connor, we need to at least paralyze him. He's lucky to
escape that fate." Tom clicked his tongue.
Sonia looked at the expressionless Toby and nodded. "You're right."
She did not feel a trace of guilt about Connor's condition at all.
Connor should have paid for what he had done with his life, so these injuries were nothing.
"I'm sorry, but this is all I can do to Connor for your sake." Sonia held Toby's hand regretfully.
Toby held her hand back and smiled. "This is more than enough. I'm pleased. Thank you."
Sonia had always been a gentle and mild-mannered woman and would never do such a thing.
Nonetheless, she went against her principles and ordered someone to beat Connor up just to help him
out. This action alone was enough to make him touched, and he was genuinely glad.
Sonia smiled with relief at his gratitude.
At first, she wondered if she would upset Toby by doing so, but from the looks of it, she figured that her
guess was off the mark.
If he were truly upset, she would know by now.
After all, she was doing this because of him. If he really thought that she was too impulsive by taking
matters into her own hands, she would feel quite aggrieved as her efforts had gone to waste.
Thankfully, Toby didn't disappoint her.
"Who did you contact to beat Connor up?" Toby hugged Sonia and asked. "Tell me honestly. Tom will
handle the matter properly because I don't want Connor to find out that you are the one behind this."
Tom nodded too. "Mr. Fuller is right, Miss Reed. While Connor is hospitalized and has not yet started
his investigation, I will clean up the loose ends as soon as possible."
Sonia dismissed their worries with a wave of her hand. "No, you don't have to. I got Charles' friend to
do it. I'm sure you've heard of his name. It's Lance Walters."
"Lance Walters?" Tom widened his eyes in awe. "Do you mean the Lance Walters?"
"Lance Walters?" Tom widened his eyes in awe. "Do you mean the Lance Walters?"
"Yup, that's him." Sonia nodded.
Toby was equally surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Is he Charles' friend?"
"Charles was part of the mafia in high school, and Lance was his lackey. Technically speaking, the
Lane Family supported Lance financially since he was a child, so Lance was very loyal to Charles.
Later, Charles turned over a new leaf and became a nice person, so he handed over that small group
to Lance. Even though Lance has gained a reputable status in the underworld, he still maintains a
close friendship with Charles. So this time, Charles directly contacted him and requested to beat
Connor up. Charles told me that because it was Lance's job, Connor couldn't do anything about it even
if he found out the truth because the higher-ups would protect Lance. In other words, Connor was
destined to suffer without being able to bite back. When he learns about Lance, he can't proceed with
his investigation, so you don't have to worry that Connor will discover that I'm the mastermind and take
his revenge."
Sonia briefly conveyed Charles' remarks to them.
Toby nodded slightly. "Charles is right. Connor can't do anything about it. The connection between
Brutus and the higher-ups is so solid that Connor can't move against him. That's alright then."
Lance changed his name to Brutus Walters after he became the leader of his underworld group. It was
because he felt the name Lance wasn't dominant and aggressive enough.
"Wow, I didn't know that Mr. Lane is actually Brutus' friend." Tom was mindblown.
Toby was equally surprised, so he looked at Sonia and said, "Thankfully, you found Brutus. I would
have been worried if you had hired others to do it."
Sonia chuckled. "Well, I only wanted to teach Connor a lesson, and the consequence didn't cross my
mind. But then, I remembered that Charles used to join the underworld, and I wondered if he knew
anyone that could help me with this, so I contacted him. It is a pleasant surprise that he and Lance are
good friends, not to mention how well-off Lance is now. Perhaps, even the heavens were irritated by
Connor's nasty actions, so they gave me a perfect man to do the deed."
