"Is that so?" Toby did not react much.
"Yeah. I heard the girls were properly schooled by their parents." Tom stole a glance at the rearview
mirror. "But I didn't have the time to check on the situation because I was with you. I got the news from
the professional bodyguards we hired. If the bodyguards said it was bad, it must have been serious."
"The parents are putting on a show for us." Toby went back to caressing Sonia's face. "The harder they
beat their daughters, the more they could show how determined they are at disciplining their kids. They
hope we will feel bad and overlook this incident."
"Put it bluntly, it is another attempt to gain sympathy." Tom shrugged.
"Ignore them and do what is necessary. Look into these families for any criminal records. If there is,
collect the evidence and hand it over to the inspectors—they happen to be investigating Triforce
Enterprise recently and will be around for a while," Toby instructed unemotionally.
Tom nodded and asked, "What if there's nothing?"
"In that case, let's get their business partners to cancel their partnerships as a warning." Toby was
stern and unyielding.
"Got it," Tom answered, knowing that Toby was being lenient this time. It made sense to cancel part of
the business partnerships if they did not have prior criminal records. The two families should be
thankful instead for not having all the partnerships canceled—at least they were spared.
"Judging from the behavior of their children, I do not believe that their families have squeaky clean
records," Toby scoffed. Tom agreed with him and nodded. He asked, "Should we release them home?"
"There's no point in keeping them under arrest. Send them back but keep an eye on them, in case they
are thinking of running away. Once the evidence has been collected, hand it over to the police," Toby
instructed Tom while pulling the jacket on Sonia to keep her warm. Tom answered, "Understood."
They spent the rest of the trip in silence. Only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard in the car.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Toby's luxurious penthouse downtown. Tom parked the car and
immediately went down to open the car doors for Toby and Sonia.
Toby lifted Sonia in his arms and got out of the car. "Is the place cleaned?"
"Don't worry! I asked the management to clean the unit from the time we entered the car! They have
made the bed too. You can take a rest right away." Tom closed the car doors behind them. Toby
grunted and walked to the elevators with Sonia in his arms while Tom helped to press the button.
Soon, the three of them reached the top floor. Tom keyed in the passcode and opened the heavy metal
door for them. "President Fuller, have a good rest with Miss Reed."
Toby nodded at him. "You should get home and rest too. Before that, please take care of the things I
mentioned before."
"Sure."
Tom closed the metal door once Toby and Sonia entered the penthouse. He finally let out a relieved
sigh and headed to the elevators while being deep in a phone conversation. He seemed to have given
out some orders.
The man on the other end nodded at Tom's instructions. Then, he put down the phone and gestured at
someone near him.
"Sir." Another man swiftly came over. The bodyguard who took the call said, "I got a call from Mr.
Brown. He said that President Fuller ordered the release of the people under arrest. We don't have to
guard them anymore, but we have to monitor them secretly. Go open the doors for them."
"Okay." The second bodyguard quickly went ahead and opened the door of the private lounge.
Once the door was open, the gloomy air in the room instantly livened.
The two girls—one plump and one skinny—remained on the floor, but the rest of the people in the room
perked up and jumped up from the chairs and couches. They barged toward the entrance excitedly.
"Is President Fuller here?"
"Is he here to meet us?"
The bodyguards were calm in the face of the great anticipation. They sometimes looked like robots in
that aspect.
"President Fuller isn't here. He also did not say he would meet with you."
When the parents of the two troublemaking ladies learned that, the lights in their eyes instantly
dimmed.
"Why isn't he coming?"
"He's the one who asked us to wait for him. Why would he change his mind?"
"Yeah! If he's not here, how are we going to settle this matter? We're anxious about it too."
"Right! So, when is he coming?"
The four men and women could not stop demanding the reason behind Toby's absence, which was not
good news at all. In fact, they felt more petrified.
At the end of the day, their kids had offended Toby. If Toby refused to meet up, the parents could not
gauge his stance on the matter and his preferred way of dealing with them. Without a certain answer,
they were left sitting on pins and needles, which explained their impatience.
Had President Fuller shown up or even sent them a clear message on what to do next for forgiveness,
they would not have been this distressed. Ultimately, the oldest and strongest fear was one of the
unknown.
The bodyguards were unaffected by the nervousness around them. "It's quite late now. He will not be
coming."
Their faces fell. "What? He's not coming?"
"Why? Why would he do that? We waited so long for him over here. Why isn't President Fuller showing
up?" The four of them refused to accept the decision.
The bodyguards remained unemotional. "Miss Reed is tired and has fallen asleep. President Fuller had
to take her home, and he will not make it over. Do you really think that you are more important than
Miss Reed to him?"
The four dumbfounded parents exchanged glances. Of course, they would never claim that they were
more important than Sonia Reed, even if they believed their issue was more urgent than Sonia's sleep.
Still, none of them voiced out their thoughts, for they were sure that the bodyguards would report the
situation to Toby. They would leave a worse impression on him. Hence, silence would be the best way
forward.
A short pause later, one of the middle-aged men came forward and asked, "I know President Fuller
won't be here, but we still need to resolve this issue. Am I right? Did he say anything—for example, the
type of compensation he wanted? As long as he puts in a request, we will try our very best to fulfill it."
At this point, they would do anything for Toby to forgive them. Their families had to be protected from
the fallout of their daughters' foolish actions.
The other three men and women nodded fervently. "Yes! We will give him anything within our means.
Even if he wants us to surrender our daughters, we could do that. Our only hope is for him to
understand that this incident is solely the individual doing of our daughters, and it does not represent
the families! Please do not come after our families."
"That's right! We didn't know about the actions of these two rascals, nor did we order them to do so.
Their doing was under Miss Lore's order, which has nothing to do with us! But, as their families, we are
willing to take the responsibility for their actions. We are even prepared to give them up if he says so!
We really hope that there is no misunderstanding—the families are not behind their actions!"
