Chapter 1146

"Got it," Toby answered.

"Although they were sincere at offering their apology, I wouldn't have forgiven them because of that. If they were polite, I would have changed my mind about them; if they showed that they were remorseful about what they had done and not blame their faults on me in future, I wouldn't be bothered by them. However, they weren't even able to show basic respect, yet they expected me to forgive them and put in a good word for them. It was just ridiculous!" Sonia rubbed her temples as she spoke.

"I've been too forgiving toward them in the past and never really monitored them, subsequently encouraging their arrogant behavior. They assume they're able to do whatever they want just by using my name. As such, I'm responsible for this," Toby responded.

After all, he was the one who had brought the Lore Family under his protection. Therefore, he was correspondingly responsible for how the Lore Family would behave in the future. On top of that, Toby would have to teach them a lesson for the mistakes they had made. However, he wasn't familiar with the character of the Lore Family and assumed that they were reasonable people and wouldn't act beyond measure. Because of this, he rarely questioned nor restricted them with the belief that they wouldn't cause trouble, so much so that his connivance gave the Lore Family the audacity to cause trouble. They even believed that they didn't have to pay the price for offending Sonia, the woman Toby loved. This was why he felt sorry toward the woman.

Hearing that, she sighed and uttered, "It's fine. I know that no matter what I tell you, you would still think that it's your fault. Since that's the case, I shall not get involved in the matters that would follow. You'll be in charge of taking care of the matter regarding the Lore Family, and I hope that you won't let me down."

She thought that they would stop coming to see her since she refused to help them out. Moreover, she couldn't stand to speak to the brainless Lore Family and had decided to pass the task over to Toby, who was the most suitable candidate for the job.

However, Toby knew that Sonia was doing this so that he could have a chance to make it up to her, which warmed his heart. He was determined about it and answered confidently, "Alright, I will not let you down."

"That's good. Have you eaten?" Sonia asked after letting out a laugh.

"Not yet. My meeting with one of the foreign investors just ended, so I haven't had time to have my meal." He pinched his glabella.

lunch time." Sonia frowned and was unhappy about it. "This won't do. Go and get Tom to prepare something for you to eat now so that you can at least fill your stomach. You shouldn't let yourself starve." Toby chucked when he heard how concerned she was. "What are you laughing at? Let's end the call so that you can get Toby to buy some food for

Tom admitted that he had overlooked it as he had planned to prepare Toby's lunch after he was done with his work like how he usually did. He never expected Sonia to check in on them this time round. Given the situation, he decided that regardless of whether Toby was occupied with work, he would still prepare lunch in advance in order to appease Sonia.
