Chapter 946 One Ought to Be Kind

“I know you won’t let them have their way by becoming their son-in-law, but it’s true that they have their eyes on you,” Sonia said, pouting.

Toby pinched her nose gently. “I’ve never heard of this before. From whom did Mrs. Lane hear about this?” It didn’t make sense that as one of the people involved, he would learn about something related to him later than others did.

“She heard it from the family that has their eyes on you, of course.” Sonia stopped keeping Toby in suspense and told him everything Grace had told her at the time.

Toby looked as black as thunder when he finished listening to her story. “What a nerve they’ve got, the Wallaces!” He knew the Wallaces, who ran a seafood business in Seafield. However, Seafield was a coastal city where many were engaged in the seafood business. Because of the fierce competition, the Wallaces were pretty much a nobody among them. Most annoyingly, they were dishonest in their business practices.

They often resorted to some dishonest petty means, such as passing spoiled seafood off as fresh ones or passing cultivated seafood off as freshly caught ones. As time went on, some people couldn’t stand it anymore, so they were reported to the relevant department. As a result, the Wallaces got into trouble. Many of their fishing quays were sealed off by the relevant department, and several of their seafood markets were closed for the time being. Naturally, they could no longer run their seafood business at present.

Toby had heard that the Wallaces had been pulling strings wherever they could to solve this issue and that they had been seeking to form an alliance with a family that had some say in Seafield through marriage. However, he thought he had nothing to do with it, so he no longer paid attention to it after hearing about this. Still, he never thought he was the one whom the Wallaces targeted and wanted to form a marriage alliance with!

Ha! What a nerve they’ve got! There are so many prestigious figures in Seafield, and people who want to marry me are a dime a dozen. Which of these people isn’t of higher standing than the Wallaces? But would they actually show up before me and propose a marriage alliance with me?

They wouldn’t dare to, I’m afraid. Even if they have such an intention, they dare not show it, let alone put it into practice. The Wallaces are inferior to those families in every way, but they’re even bolder than those families. Not only do they have the idea of forming a marriage alliance with me, but they even have the nerve to put it into practice by asking Mrs. Lane about my current relationship status! Do they really think that I won’t get angry with them?
