Chapter 1142 By Force

Sonia’s words were straightforward, making Grayson furious when he heard it. However, Sonia continued, “As for your saying that I should flatter you and your family in order to be together with Toby because of the connections with the Lore Family and the Fullers, I think that is just hilarious.

I mean, Lynette framed me just to make me break up with Toby when we do not have any grudges against each other. I suppose I don’t need to specify why—she likes Toby, so she wants to replace me.” Listening to her words, Grayson turned his face to the side awkwardly as he didn’t expect Sonia to know about this.

Seeing his reaction, Sonia scoffed and continued, “Moreover, even if I were to flatter you and forgive you like a simp, telling Toby how good your family is. Will you guys really let me be with him? My guess is no. Harry, who is also Toby’s teacher, talked sh*t about me to Toby before knowing what Lynette did online.

He told Toby I was incompatible with him and that we should break up. This proves that no matter what I do, you guys will never let me be with him because Lynette would not have a chance. Thus, your words are pointless and ridiculous, Mr. Lore.”

At that moment, Grayson felt that Sonia had exposed him. He felt awkward as he stood on the spot, unable to say anything. Even his assistant wanted to bury himself in a hole.

This was just embarrassing.

However, Sonia seemed to have not noticed his embarrassment as she put down the teacup and smiled, saying, “Moreover, even if Harry doesn’t do anything, you guys can’t replace me with Lynette. Thus, there’s no need for me to flatter you guys.”

“What do you mean by that?” Grayson looked at her angrily.

Sonia flipped her hair and said, “It’s simple. Why should I flatter you guys when we are not blood-related? Will you guys help me strengthen my relationship with Toby if I were to flatter you guys? I don’t think so. Moreover, this is my matter with Toby. What does this have to do with anyone else? Why would I need the help of someone? Lastly, the words I’m about to say are not going to be to your liking, but I’m afraid that I’m more important than the Lore Family in Toby’s heart. Not even Harry, his teacher, can change that. Didn’t you see how he steered away from your family when you guys offended me?”

At that moment, Sonia probably stepped on a nerve as Grayson jumped and roared at her. “So what if Toby prioritizes you? That doesn’t mean that you are more important than us. He is just angry that we have done something wrong. He wouldn’t steer clear of us. Never!”

Seeing that he was still refusing to admit it, Sonia didn’t get mad and just smiled. “If that’s the case, then why are you here? You’re here because you want me to forgive you and say good things about your family to Toby. Unfortunately, you guys are wrong. How do you expect me to forgive you and help you when you are not being sincere with your apology? This is just insane.”

“You…” Grayson pointed at her with trembling fingers as he was too angry to speak.

Sonia waved her hand at him, saying, “Stop stuttering, Mr. Lore. Since you are unwilling to admit the truth, you shouldn’t be here and should be maintaining the pride of your family instead. We’ll see if Toby will pay any attention to it. However, since you are here, this proves that someone in your family knows what is happening. What a pity, though. Even if they know it, it will still be a waste if you don’t apologize sincerely. With that, I still stand my ground—I won’t forgive the Lore Family. To have my forgiveness, you must apologize sincerely. Otherwise, I won’t accept it. Don’t tell me that I should flatter you because of your relationship with The Fullers. Moreover, you and your family should be the ones buttering up to me.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? We, the Lore Family, flatter you?” said Grayson as he looked at Sonia scornfully.

Meanwhile, Sonia remained her expression unchanged and looked at him nonchalantly.

Laugh all you want now. You won’t be able to laugh later on, she thought.

“Nonsense?” Sonia shrugged. “I don’t think I’m speaking nonsense. As I said, I’m more important than the Lore Family in Toby’s heart. After all, he could steer clear of your family because of me. This proves that you and your family are not of much importance to him and can be easily ignored. However, if your family wants to keep in touch with him, you should find the perfect solution for it, and that happens to be me. Thus, the Lore Family should please and flatter me rather than offend me, because if I’m satisfied, I will praise your family in front of Toby. That way, you guys can continue to keep in touch with him.”

As she spoke, she wiggled her fingers. “If you guys offend me, I will be very unhappy. I will then say bad things about your family, giving him a bad impression on the Lore Family. Moreover, I can give him a pillow talk to ruin any chance of the Lore Family ever getting in touch with him again. You know how powerful pillow talk is, don’t you, Mr. Lore?”

At that moment, Grayson’s expression changed. He widened his eyes as he looked at her. After a while, he said, “You… You are such a vicious woman…”

“Vicious?” Sonia huffed. “I’m nothing compared to Lynette. You guys provoked me first. Since you guys want me dead, don’t blame me for my heartlessness. Lastly, I advise you to know your place. Don’t assume that everyone should obey you just because you are in the high-ups for a long time. Alright, that’s enough talking for today. It will be meaningless if I go on. Please leave!” She pointed at the door.

“I’m not leaving!” Grayson gripped his knuckles and said.

How could he leave when he hadn’t accomplished his purpose? Before he came here, he had reassured Harry that he would make her forgive them and promise to flatter them in front of Toby. Now that none of these had been done, he was unwilling to leave.

Seeing that he was persistent, Sonia sneered. “Not leaving? Fine, I’ll make you. Security!”

As her words fell, the door swung open to reveal four security guards.

The lead of the security guards looked at Grayson before back at Sonia. “Miss Reed, are you referring to these two?” he asked.

“Yes. I’ll leave you guys to it.” Sonia nodded.

“Don’t worry, Miss Reed. We will send them out.” The security guard nodded and walked toward Grayson and his assistant.

“How dare you use force, Sonia?” Grayson roared in disbelief.
