When Harry heard Grayson's voice, he put down the elegance in him as he gripped his phone tightly while he roared, "Don't call me dad! I don't have such a dumb son!"
At that moment, he was in the same state as Grayson when he was being unreasonable in Sonia's office. Like father, like son— not only did they look alike, but their behaviors were identical.
Just as Grayson was expecting Harry's tone to be calm, he was met with a roar when he picked up the phone. It startled him, and he winced while putting the phone away from him.
While covering one of his ears, Grayson mumbled into the phone. "What are you doing, Dad? I'm in the car with my assistant, so don't embarrass me in front of him. Dumb is such a harsh word, you know."
Harry sneered upon hearing his words and said, "Why should I avoid embarrassing you when you have done something foolish? Who do you think you are?"
"What foolish thing did I do, Dad?" Grayson retorted.
"What did you do?" Harry sneered. "You'll know what you've done later on. Now, hurry up and get back here. I'll give you thirty minutes for this. If you are not back by then, I'll teach you a lesson." With that, he hung up the phone.
Grayson only noticed the call had been disconnected when he looked at it after hearing no sound when he had been calling Harry. Then, he threw his phone aside and said bitterly, "What's wrong with him? Why is he so angry?"
When the assistant saw how confused Grayson was, he rolled his eyes in secret. Although my dumb boss might not know why President Lore is furious, I know it has to do with apologizing to Miss Reed. Since he has messed up the apology, it would only be expected for President Lore to be mad.
As the assistant thought about it, he didn't tell Grayson. After all, it would be a waste of time to say such a thing to a foolish person. I'm better off driving back to the company in silence, he thought calmly while turning the steering wheel.
At the same time, Toby was just done meeting a client in the Fuller Group. When he left the drawing room, he saw Tom walking toward him with a stern face.
"What's wrong?" Toby stopped walking and asked.
"President Fuller, something happened to Miss Reed," said Tom as he stood in front of Toby.
"Again?" Toby's expression changed, and he had an intimidating presence. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Noticing Toby's change in countenance, Tom quickly pushed his glasses and comforted him. "Calm down, President Fuller. It's not a big deal. It's just that the Lore Family went to Paradigm Co. to meet Miss Reed," he said.
When Toby heard that it was the Lore Family who had gone to find Sonia, his expression became even colder. "Which one of the Lore Family?" he asked.
The Lore Family disliked Sonia and treated her unruly. As such, when he heard that they had met with Sonia, his first reaction was that they would cause trouble for her. That was why he was in a bad mood.
When he saw Toby walking away, Tom quickly trailed behind him while saying, "It's Grayson."
"Him?" Toby squinted his eyes. "Did you find out why they are looking for her?"
Tom shook his head and replied, "I didn't ask. However, Paradigm Co.'s employee recorded a video when he went there and posted it online. Then, they wrote that he was there to apologize to Sonia for what happened yesterday."
When Toby heard his words, his lips curled into a sneer as if he had listened to a joke. "An apology? I didn't know that he could apologize," he said.
"That's why it didn't end well," Tom smiled and replied.
Hearing his words, Toby pursed his lips. "What happened?" he asked.
"I don't know the details of it as I didn't see it for myself, but from the video that the employee posted, it seemed like Grayson was insincere with his apology. Not only did he not bring Lynette, he also went there empty-handed and was ill-mannered. As such, Sonia told the security guards to kick him out," Tom explained.
When Toby heard this, he stopped in his tracks. "What did you just say? He was kicked out of Paradigm Co.?"
"Yes."
"Did Sonia do this?"
"The employee who posted said that it was Sonia. She ordered four security guards to drag Grayson and his assistant to the company's door forcefully and throw them out. To that, Grayson even fell by the company's door. If you want to see it, the video is still online." With that, Tom took out his phone and pressed a few buttons before showing it to Toby. "Look, President Fuller," he said.
Toby took over the phone and looked at it. He saw Grayson and his assistant being dragged out of the elevator and thrown out of the door. Seeing this, he smiled. "Sonia did a great job. People like this should be treated this way. However, Grayson has a filthy mouth," Toby said darkly as he returned the phone.
Listening to his words, Tom took back his phone and looked at him. "Should I send someone to wash his mouth, President Fuller?" he asked.
"What do you think?" Toby glanced at him.
Then, Tom pushed his glasses and smiled, saying, "I understand. Don't worry, I will clean his mouth thoroughly. I won't disappoint you."
Hearing his words, Toby hummed in response and pushed the office's door open. As he entered the room, he took out his phone and called Sonia.
When Tom entered the room, he closed the door behind him. Then, he stood at the opposite side of Toby's table without moving as he waited for Toby to finish talking on the phone before he could report other matters to him.
The call was quickly picked up. "Hello?" Sonia's pleasant voice came through the line.
"Did Grayson do anything to you?" Toby sat down and went straight to the point.
On the other side of the phone, Sonia put down the ballpen she was holding and leaned back against the chair. "No, he didn't. I knew that you were going to call me. Don't worry, for he didn't do anything to me. Moreover, I'm not the type to let people step over me," she replied while smiling.
Hearing the smile in her voice, Toby knew that she was indeed fine. With that thought, he was slightly at ease. "That's good. Sorry, I didn't know they would come to look for you," he said.
Noticing that he had put the blame on himself, Sonia shook her head and smiled. "Why are you apologizing to me? They have legs on their own. You can't stop them from going somewhere. To be honest, I didn't expect them to find me, but I realized that they would need to maintain the honor of their family from you. Since they couldn't get to you, they had to choose another solution. With that being
said, Grandma and I are the best solutions they can find. That's why they came to me. Furthermore, yesterday's incident impacted the relationship between you and the Lore Family. To earn your forgiveness, they came to apologize to me."
"If they meant it, they would have apologized by yesterday. They only came to look for you after confirming that I wanted to steer clear from them, and Grandma refused to accept their apology. This proves that they have yet to realize their wrongdoings and have not considered you. You aren't their first choice when they want to mend their relationship with me. How hypocritical of them." As Toby spoke, his face was filled with disdain toward the Lore Family.
Listening to his words, Sonia smiled and said, "Indeed. Didn't Mary call you yesterday and say that they had gone to find Grandma, wanting to mend their relationship with you through her? However, they didn't bring anything with them when they visited. How ridiculous. It was also the same thing when they came to me."
"I know. I saw the video." Toby nodded.
Sonia stretched her neck, which was slightly sore, and said, "Since you have seen it, I won't elaborate any further. I want to say that it is their attitude that I want, not the gifts."
