Julia’s eyes lit up with joy as she assumed that Toby was considering ways to save Tina. She quickly stole a glance at Sonia, who was standing behind Toby, before flashing her a look of victory. Look, even if you refuse to free Tina, someone else is going to save her, Julia said with her eyes. Sonia felt like she was about to throw up.

When Toby noticed what Julia was doing, his gaze turned harder than before. However, Julia didn’t realize anything as she turned to address him in an emotional voice. “It’s really easy. You just need to talk to the police officers, Toby. I’m sure they’ll listen to you because of your status and position in society. If that doesn’t work, you can get the Colemans to help out. They’re an extremely powerful family, so the police will definitely free Tina if they tell the police to do so.”

“Hah!” Toby let out a sarcastic chuckle. “You think too highly of me. Sure, I might be able to save Tina, but why would I do that?”

All the excitement in Julia’s expression faded off once she heard his words. “W-What do you mean?”

Even Sonia eyed the man in front of her in a confused manner. What? Isn’t he going to save Tina? Rina’s eyes lit up as she held her hands together excitedly. I thought this man was going to save Tina, but I hadn’t expected the tables to turn so suddenly! Did he just change his mind?!

“It means that I’m not going to save her!” Toby said in a scornful tone as he smirked at Julia. Julia widened her eyes in response. “Are you not going to save Tina? But you just said—”

“Since when did I say anything?” Toby interrupted her impatiently. “I just asked you how I was supposed to save her. I never said anything about actually saving her.”

Julia was too stunned to say anything at that point. He’s right. He was just asking a question, but he didn’t say that he wanted to save Tina. I was the one who had jumped to a conclusion on my own.

Sonia’s spirits were lifted when she saw the look of devastation on Julia’s face. Any anger she held toward Toby had dissipated after this incident. Earlier, Sonia had decided that she would use all her might to go against Toby if he had agreed to save Tina. She figured that she would be able to bring him down even if she failed to destroy the Gray Family. I’m glad that his brain is actually functioning, and I’m pleased that he didn’t agree to save Tina.

Toby could sense the sharp gaze of the woman behind him gradually softening into a calm one. He knew that she was no longer angry at that point, and he turned around to look at her. “I won’t disappoint you in the future,” he uttered in a gentle voice.

turned to look at Toby with her face flushed. She saw the unmistakable sarcasm written all over Toby’s face, and she felt the urge to dig a hole for herself because of how embarrassed she felt. Sonia, on the other hand, was close to clapping her hands and cheering. Toby’s question was a killer!
