Madam Escaped Again Sir

Chapter 1061



Chapter 1061

"You mean Lynette?” Toby raised his eyebrow.

She's asking about Harry and now his granddaughter? Just what is she up to?

"So, that's her name." She smiled lightly. "That's a cute name, but you haven't answered my question yet.

What do you think of Miss Lore?"

He contemplated and a young face conjured in his mind. It was so blurry that he could barely make the outlines of her face. "Nothing." "Nothing?" His answer stupefied her for a moment.

Given Toby's reverence for Harry, she assumed that he would have a deep impression of the Lore Family. His response was beyond her expectations. Furthermore, she could tell that he was telling the truth.

"Why so? Isn't she the granddaughter of your teacher? You guys should be close. You’ve grown up together, right?" Sonia looked at the man with pursed lips.

His brows furrowed deeply as he tapped her forehead. "I learned from my teacher, not his granddaughter. So, how am I supposed to be close with her? And what? Growing up together? You're not the one to say that. Both of us are the one that has grown up together. You were ten when we became penpals, right?"

Covering her forehead, she finally let out a genuine smile. "I thought you grew up with Miss Lore and that you're close with her."

It was true; never once had he told Sonia who he grew up with. It was merely her assumption upon the discovery of the mastermind's identity—Lynette. Since Lynette was the granddaughter of Toby's teacher, it was possible for them to get along. Still, Sonia had over-thought about it.

Since Toby didn't grow up with Miss Lore and he's not close with her, I bet he won't protect her after knowing she's the mastermind of the whole scandal.

As an afterthought, she thought of giving him a chance by testing him.

She stared at him. "Do you have any feelings for Miss Lore?"

Her question almost had him laughing. "What sort of feelings should I have for her?"

They were not close at all. He was Lynette's uncle at most and they barely met or spoke to each other. Other than that, there was nothing more between them.

"Good." Sonia nodded. "But are you aware that Miss Lore likes you? Not in a familiar way, but romantically."

Her words put Toby into a trance. The silent Charles realized something as his mouth gaped. "Sonia, do you think that Lynette is the one behind all this? You've said that the mastermind is Toby's pursuer and now you're mentioning Lynette's feelings for Toby instead of anyone else. It’s obvious that you're telling us it's Lynette all along."

"Is it true?" Toby's face darkened in a split second.

She looked at him and nodded slowly.

"Yeah. Charles is right. It is Miss Lore's doing. I didn't know about it at first, but I contacted Squirrel and bought off their editor's secretary. The secretary dug into it from the editor."

She fished out her phone and clicked the voice note sent by Noah for the men. According to the voice note, Mitch—the editor—clearly stated that the whole incident was Lynette's plan.

Lynette bribed Mitch to have a paparazzi watch Sonia in her vicinity one week ago. All of this was to capture any titbits about her. Even if the paparazzi failed to do so, an intimate picture of her and a man would work since it only needed a little bit of editing to stir up a controversy on the Internet.

Thus, the pictures of Sonia and Charles heading to a hotel was taken. Lynette even reassured Mitch that she would protect him if Toby took revenge.

After listening to the recording, Toby was shocked to the core. Never in his wildest dream had he expected his teacher's granddaughter to set that up. He did not remember much about her, but she was a cheerful girl. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Still, the girl, who he thought to be adorable, had feelings for him and was malice enough to set up his woman through such lowly means.

It seemed like the seven years had not only changed Harry but Lynette as well, except hers was a complete one-eighty.

Words failed Toby as his countenance dimmed and the temperature around him dipped. Sonia was aware that it was a huge blow for him. She understood how he felt, for the culprit was none other than his teacher's granddaughter.

He had never imagined it to be Lynette's doing before this. Now that he knew of the truth, it was difficult to come to terms with it. Though Harry was a respectable person to him, it was foolproof that his granddaughter was a malicious one. It would still be an unacceptable reality had it been anyone else in Toby's shoes.

Hence, Sonia kept quiet in order not to disturb him so that he could digest the whole situation. Even so, Charles was not as kind as she was. Knowing that the culprit was Lynette, he jumped to his feet in fury before grabbing Toby by the collar and roaring, "Well, well. No wonder that woman and the

squirrels are so daring. You're backing them up! I can see why. She is your teacher's granddaughter after all. I bet you listen to everything he says, huh⁷.

Otherwise, why is she so confident that she can protect that editor? She must've known that you'll let her off to save your teacher's face."

A thought seeped into Charles' mind as he took a glimpse of Sonia. "Now I understand why Sonia is not clarifying the issue; it is a test for you. Sonia thinks the same—she figured that you'll let Lynette off the hook for the sake of your teacher."

Toby's eyes widened as he stared at Sonia with a serious expression. "Do you really think that I'll take her side?"

It took her a while to answer. "Charles is right. I am wondering whether you'll do that. She's your teacher's granddaughter after all. I dare not jump to conclusions on what your choice will be. Besides, I know that it's a difficult one to make since it's between me and your teacher."

He could not possibly remain unperturbed upon hearing her statement.

So, she's not trusting me a hundred percent. She doesn't believe that I'll be on her side forever.

He was undeniably hurt by that.

"One question—if I choose to protect my teacher and straighten things out without gravity, what will you do?" Toby tightened his fists while zeroed in on her.

Before the woman could say anything, Charles smirked. "What else can she do? She'll break up with you for sure. If you choose your teacher and gloss over the issue, Sonia will be putting up against the criticisms for nothing! Moreover, there will always be a second time. If you choose your teacher, you'll always stick to your choice and wrong Sonia. So, what's the point of continuing the relationship?"
