Chapter 1058

As the smart person she was, there was no way Sonia would not know that; the same went for Toby as well.

However, both of them had no intention to clarify it, let alone averting the public's attention from the news.

Given the situation, the only explanation Charles could come up with was that the couple was planning on something. Otherwise, why would they delay it for so long? It was especially so for Toby, whose loved one was the targeted victim of this scandal.

He loved Sonia and would never turn a blind eye to the malicious comments thrown at her. Yet, he was not doing anything about it; something was definitely off.

Charles nodded. "Yeah. Otherwise, why aren't you guys clarifying to solve the issue?"

She chuckled with mixed feelings. "There is, but it depends on Toby. This is also a test for him."

Had she not known that the mastermind was Harry's granddaughter, she would not have dragged it until today. Rather, she would have clarified the issue. She wanted to watch Toby looking into the mastermind and see how he was going to deal with the matter. In short, it was the critical moment their relationship was hanging on.

"A test for Toby?" Charles could not follow. "Why are you testing him?"

She pinched her nose bridge. "Now's not the time yet. You'll know soon. All you gotta remember is that I have my reasons."
