Chapter 73

Toby furrowed his brows. Did she delete my number?

When Sonia noticed that the caller wasn’t speaking, she tilted her head in confusion, ready to hang up. It wasn’t until then that the caller responded. A man’s deep and

Toby swore sternly, “This won’t happen again.”

“I’m not so sure about that. I know just how capable your family is of wreaking havoc,
