Chapter 1076

"What do you mean?" Sonia instinctively straightened her figure. Was there an argument during his meeting with Harry? That doesn't make sense. After all, he's Harry's favorite student, and he has always respected Harry as a teacher. So, I don't think they have a reason to be unhappy with one another. But after thinking about her conversation with Charles earlier, Sonia felt like she could guess Toby's answer.

"Did the conversation go bad because of me?" Sonia gazed at Toby as she parted her red lips to speak at a slow pace. Toby was silent for a while. "I knew it." The corner of Sonia's lips curled oddly, and no one could tell if she was happy or sad. Her response sounded pretty neutral. After all, Harry was Toby's teacher, not hers; Harry wasn't related to her in any way. So, she didn't really care if Harry liked her.

"What did you guys talk about?" Even though Sonia didn't care about what Harry thought of her, she still wanted to know what she did, which led to their miserable conversation. Toby knitted his brows—he looked as if he didn't want to answer her for a moment. Charles rolled his eyes at this. "Hey, Toby, why can't you just be honest? What's wrong with telling us these things? You should say it aloud, especially since this has to do with Sonia. How did she get your teacher mad? Your teacher wouldn't dislike her for no reason, right?"

Sonia didn't say anything, but Toby could tell that she was curious, so he ended up telling her what he and Harry had talked about earlier that day. Toby didn't tell her the whole story—he simply gave her a summary of what happened. He even changed how Harry phrased certain things to ensure that Sonia wouldn't feel any discomfort after hearing his words. After all, Harry had been rather harsh with his words. Even though Toby was well-intentioned, the way he changed certain words made his whole story sound rather stiff and made-up. So, Sonia quickly realized that Toby hid parts of the story from her.
