Chapter 1101 The Lore Family’s Apology
Grayson was oblivious of Lynette’s thoughts; the only thing he knew was the fact that she had taken his advice, which relieved him. “That’s right. You should talk to us before you do anything. Just keep in mind that we are always on your side, and we wish for you and Toby to be together more than anyone else. Okay?”
“Okay.” She nodded before biting her lips and asked, “But what are we gonna do right now? Toby is angry at us and he doesn’t pick up our call. This is not a good sign. I don’t want him to hate me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to win his heart, will I?”
He narrowed his eyes. “The fact that he’s angry at us is a bad thing for us, but don’t worry about it. You have your grandfather. Since it’s our fault, as long as we apologize in addition to your grandfather’s help, Toby will definitely forgive us. We should never take their relationship lightly.”
All in all, Grayson did not think that Toby would cut ties with Harry for a woman. If that came to pass, Toby would be perceived as someone ungrateful.
Hearing that Harry was going to help her, Lynette was soon able to soothe her jittery heart. She had the exact same idea as well. Although Sonia was an important person to Toby, Harry was the same to him as well.
Toby will never anger Grandpa for Sonia. He’ll get over it soon.
Needless to say, the father and daughter’s mind had steered in the same direction.
Lynette collected her thoughts and questioned, “When will Grandpa meet Toby to straighten things out?”
Grayson pinched his nose bridge. “You know your grandfather’s health. He’s not as healthy as he appears to be. He has to nap for a few hours in the afternoon. He’s still asleep, so he doesn’t know what you’ve done. I’ll inform him once he’s up so that he can meet Toby as soon as possible. But, Lynette, it’ll be best for you to rebook the tickets and return to the country before tomorrow morning. Come to Seafield and apologize to that woman in person. You might be able to appease Toby’s anger that way.”
“What? Apologize to Sonia?” She raised her voice, which penetrated through the air. “Why should I apologize to her? Dad, you know that we’re love rivals. Are you telling me to say ‘sorry’ to my love rival? There’s no way I’m gonna do that!”
Understanding the reason behind her reaction, Grayson sighed. “Lynette, I understand, but there’s nothing else we can do about it. They know that you’re the culprit. If your grandfather is the only one turning up, Toby might see it as an insincere apology. Even if he forgives us, he will still hold a grudge against you. Then, it’ll be more difficult for you to win his heart. It’s just an apology, not something that will tamper your pride. Or you can keep this apology in mind and return the ‘favor’ in ten folds to Sonia once you date Toby. Isn’t that a perfect revenge?”
Lynette wavered as her eyes brightened approvingly. “Got it, Dad. I’ll apologize to her as you told me. After tolerating it for some time, I’ll let her have a taste of her medicine.”
“That’s right.” Grayson smiled delightfully.
Their conversation was utterly reprehensible; not only did the father not stop his daughter from being the homewrecker, he even gave his support and suggestions.
It could be said that the whole Lore Family were scoundrels and none of them were good guys.
When the call ended, Grayson put down his phone and called his secretary into his office. “Have you contacted Toby?”
The secretary shook his head. “No. Mr. Brown has been refusing our call. President Fuller’s assistants and secretaries won’t tell us his whereabouts either.”
“He’s genuinely angry this time. He’s going to teach us a lesson.” Grayson sighed.
The secretary looked at him worriedly. “President Lore, what if President Fuller takes action against our company because of what Miss has done?”
He raised his hand firmly. “No, that won’t happen. My father’s around. Even if we lose Toby’s favor, he won’t do anything to us because of him. That would only happen after my father passed away.”
It was because of that exact reason that the Lore Family stayed in touch with Toby. Without his protection, they might face regression from their position as a wealthy family.
Therefore, they had been hoping for Lynette and Toby to form a special relationship. That way, they would not need to worry about losing Toby’s help after Harry passed away.
Grayson and Harry had been looking for a way to make sparks fly between the two youngsters. Harry returned to the country this time round to persuade Toby into breaking up with Sonia. Although it was a failure, they still had a faint chance.
However, they never expected Lynette to lose her patience and made moves without informing them, hence the repercussions.
Forget about the matchmaking mission, he had to come up with an idea to maintain their relationship with Toby first and foremost.
Although he assumed that Toby would not go against the Lore Family because of such a trivial matter, Toby would distance himself from them for sure.
Their petered-out relationship would tell the whole world that they had lost the Fuller Family’s backing. Then, the rapacious people would find a way to push the Lore Family to downfall in order to obtain their personal advantages.
Thus, they had to do something right away so as to retain their relationship with Toby.
Deeply absorbed in his thoughts, Grayson narrowed his eyes on the secretary. “Inform the public relations team to release an official apology to Sonia and Toby through our company’s official account. Explain that it’s a blunder made because of Lynette’s immaturity and include that we will educate her so that there won’t be a next time. Seek for their forgiveness. Since everyone knows that Lynette was behind this, we can’t just stand still and do nothing. We must apologize first. Not only to Sonia and Toby, but to the netizens too. We have to stabilize the stock price. That couple might not let us get away with an apology statement, but we gotta please the netizens first to stop the destructive comments.”
“Okay.” The secretary nodded.
Grayson motioned him to leave. “Go ahead.”
“Yes, Sir.”
After the secretary left, Grayson did not stay in his office for long as he took the car keys and left. He was going to drop by their old manor to check on Harry.
If Harry was up, Grayson would inform him of the whole incident to think of a solution together, for they could not afford to cut ties with Toby no matter what happened.
At the same time, time already struck 5.00PM when Sonia and Toby left the police station. Therefore, they drove back to Bayside Residence instead of returning to the company.
Along the way, Toby was driving whereas Sonia surfed the Internet in the passenger seat. Suddenly, a notification from her social media account popped up as someone mentioned her, which intrigued her curiosity.
Since her account was especially disabled and ordinary account users would not be able to tag her, her phone kept buzzing still.
Hence, it was only possible for special accounts to tag her into something, like the official or verified accounts. What she had yet to find out was the type of account that had mentioned her this time.
