Chapter 1413 Sounding Out Titus and Julia

Toby explained, "Titus and Henry grew up in the same compound, so it was only natural for them to become the best of friends. Their friendship lasted until high school, but as they grew older, their families had increasingly higher hopes for them. Henry had always been an outstanding student of good character and an heir whom their elders approved of the most, whereas Titus, who did nothing all day other than fool around, was just the opposite. They thus became two contrasting examples in the words of their elders, and Titus' parents even compared him with Henry, so he became envious of Henry over time."

Hearing the man's words, Taylor came to realize something, and her lips trembled. "Was that why Dad cut ties with Miss Reed's adoptive father?"

Toby replied, "That's right; they cut ties with each other because of that. However, the Reeds got in trouble shortly after that, going bankrupt and dropping out of the ranks of Seafield's distinguished families. The Grays weren't doing any better either. They didn't go bankrupt, but their assets shrank a lot, making them just an ordinarily rich family."

The ten years immediately crossed Taylor's mind. It wouldn't be strange for the two families to get in trouble at the same time during those ten years.

"After what happened to them, the Reeds and the Grays no longer crossed paths with one another until Henry rebuilt his career by founding Paradigm Co., which landed the Reed Family back among the ranks of Seafield's respectable families. Henry was basking in glory at the time, which was a heavy blow to Titus, who had to rely on his parents to expand Triforce Enterprise once again before inheriting the company. This made Titus feel even more inferior to Henry, so he stole Paradigm's secrets out of

jealousy and forced an employee into suicide by jumping off a building, thus driving Paradigm to the brink of bankruptcy. Henry only stole Little Leaf away in order to strike back."

At this point, Toby stared at her frostily. "So, it's obvious who was to blame for all of this, isn't it? Had Titus been tolerant of others, Little Leaf wouldn't have been stolen away. It was he who caused her to be stolen away, leaving her caught between the two families and unable to break free. Not only had he never raised her, but he had also caused her to be stolen away and is now causing her great distress. What right does such a father have to ask Little Leaf to save him? He should die since that'd be a relief for her instead."

"No, you're wrong!" Taylor shook her head vigorously. "It wasn't like that, President Fuller. Even if Dad was wrong, he really cares about Miss Reed. This alone proves that he's not an absolutely bad guy, so you guys can't do this." Toby exploined, "Titus ond Henry grew up in the some compound, so it wos only noturol for them to become the best of friends. Their friendship losted until high school, but os they grew older, their fomilies hod increosingly higher hopes for them. Henry hod olwoys been on outstonding student of good chorocter ond on heir whom their elders opproved of the most, whereos Titus, who did nothing oll doy other thon fool oround, wos just the opposite. They thus become two controsting exomples in the words of their elders, ond Titus' porents even compored him with Henry, so he become envious of Henry over time."

Heoring the mon's words, Toylor come to reolize something, ond her lips trembled. "Wos thot why Dod cut ties with Miss Reed's odoptive fother?"

Toby replied, "Thot's right; they cut ties with eoch other becouse of thot. However, the Reeds got in trouble shortly ofter thot, going bonkrupt ond dropping out of the ronks of Seofield's distinguished fomilies. The Groys weren't doing ony better either. They didn't go bonkrupt, but their ossets shronk o

lot, moking them just on ordinorily rich fomily."

The ten yeors immediotely crossed Toylor's mind. It wouldn't be stronge for the two fomilies to get in trouble ot the some time during those ten yeors.

"After whot hoppened to them, the Reeds ond the Groys no longer crossed poths with one onother until Henry rebuilt his coreer by founding Porodigm Co., which londed the Reed Fomily bock omong the ronks of Seofield's respectoble fomilies. Henry wos bosking in glory ot the time, which wos o heovy blow to Titus, who hod to rely on his porents to expond Triforce Enterprise once ogoin before inheriting the compony. This mode Titus feel even more inferior to Henry, so he stole Porodigm's secrets out of jeolousy ond forced on employee into suicide by jumping off o building, thus driving Porodigm to the brink of bonkruptcy. Henry only stole Little Leof owoy in order to strike bock."

At this point, Toby stored ot her frostily. "So, it's obvious who wos to blome for oll of this, isn't it? Hod Titus been toleront of others, Little Leof wouldn't hove been stolen owoy. It wos he who coused her to be stolen owoy, leoving her cought between the two fomilies ond unoble to breok free. Not only hod he never roised her, but he hod olso coused her to be stolen owoy ond is now cousing her greot distress. Whot right does such o fother hove to osk Little Leof to sove him? He should die since thot'd be o relief for her insteod."

"No, you're wrong!" Toylor shook her heod vigorously. "It wosn't like thot, President Fuller. Even if Dod wos wrong, he reolly cores obout Miss Reed. This olone proves thot he's not on obsolutely bod guy, so you guys con't do this."

"Actually, we can do that," Toby said before turning around and walking toward the ward. To him, Taylor was just a woman who had a screw loose. No matter what Titus had done to Sonia and what harm he

had caused her, she was still of the opinion that Sonia should save him for the sole reason that Titus was her biological father. How laughable! Many parents in the world abandon their children because they don't love them. Do the abandoned children have to comply when their birth parents come to them and tell them that they need them to donate a kidney to them?

In any case, he would never let Sonia save Titus. Titus had to die for the sake of Sonia's future, and it was already their last kindness and filial duty to Titus as his daughter and son-in-law by not supporting Sonia in personally sending Titus to jail. If Titus still had the slightest bit of conscience in him, he should have refused to ask Sonia to save him for the sake that she was his daughter. But speaking of it, Titus probably still doesn't know that Sonia is his daughter. Should I tell him about it and see his reaction?

I'll think better of Titus if he chooses to help Sonia by dying on his own and rejecting her kidney donation for the sake that he still cares about her as her father. However, if he still wants her to donate one of her kidneys to him and is afraid of death and reluctant to accept Sonia as his daughter because she was raised by Henry, then he'd better not blame me when I take matters into my own hands and kill him by myself.

"President Fuller." Toby's bodyguard immediately saluted him as soon as he stepped out of the ward.

"Mm-hmm," Toby mumbled. "Keep on guarding her. We'll wait until Sonia feels better before deciding on how to deal with her."

"Roger that," the bodyguard replied.

Toby left right away without stopping.

When he returned to the ward, Sonia was still asleep, so he lay down in bed and fell asleep with her in

his arms. They didn't sleep much last night, so they naturally felt worn out now that they had relaxed.

They slept all the way until dusk.

Tom brought some of the documents that required Toby's signature for Toby to sign them. After the man finished signing them, Tom put them away and said to him, "By the way, President Fuller, Mrs. Gray has called the police after realizing that Taylor had gone missing. But I'd given the police a heads- up in advance, so they wouldn't do anything in private despite outwardly promising to help Mrs. Gray search for Taylor." After all, Taylor wasn't actually missing, so why would the police have to search for her?

Toby raised his chin slightly in a gesture of acknowledgment. "How's Titus?" he asked.

Tom thought about it for a moment. "The people I sent to ask about it say that he's not doing well. He's been hospitalized in ICU and is now on a ventilator, so Mrs. Gray is crying all day."

"I got it. Get someone to tell Mrs. Gray that I'd like to see her tomorrow," Toby ordered with a squint.

Tom immediately guessed something. He asked in surprise, "President Fuller, don't tell me you want—"

Toby replied noncommittally, "This is what I decided after much deliberation. I also want to know how they'll react upon learning that Sonia's their daughter. If they still have parental love for her, they should know what Sonia is going to face, so they'll make the right choice. But if they don't do that, it'd be even better since I'll speed up Titus' death. I'll never let them stay alive and prolong my wife's sufferings."

Tom nodded. Thinking that what Toby said was right, he was no longer surprised by his decision. "Still, does Mrs. Fuller know about this?"

"I haven't told her yet for the time being. I want to know Titus and Julia's reaction before deciding whether to tell her or not," Toby replied impassively.

"Alright, President Fuller, I got it. I'll have it arranged right away," Tom said as he took his leave.

After Tom had left, Mary came over as well. "Young Master Toby, Mrs. Lane and Mr. Lane are here; they're now keeping Young Mistress Sonia company in the ward. Young Mistress Sonia is very happy to see Mrs. Lane."

Toby's expression softened when he heard this. "That's a good thing. Let's go back and take a look."

They left the elevator lobby and came to the ward. Before they entered, they heard the sound of jovial laughter in the ward.

After Toby went in, he saw Grace saying something to Sonia, who was giggling gleefully with her hand over her mouth, whereas Charles was standing aside with a scowl and sulking while shooting reproachful looks at Grace. At the sight of this, he figured out what Grace had said to Sonia—which was none other than the skeletons in Charles' closet. "Mrs. Lane, what did you say to Little Leaf? You two look so happy." He went over and wrapped his arm around Sonia's shoulders before sitting on the edge of the bed. Then, he asked on purpose, "How about you tell me about it?" He darted a glance at Charles.

As he had expected, Charles' face darkened even more. He even jumped right away and pointed to Toby's nose, yelling, "Toby, what are you doing here? Just stay out of our conversation!" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
