Chapter 1279 Filled with Animosity
Why does this server look so familiar? I have seen her before, but where?
Anya searched through her memory archive and landed on a young face identical to the server.
Lynette Lore!
Anya’s eyes widened with shock and incredulity. As though she wanted to confirm her guess, she glued her gaze onto Lynette’s face.
It’s her! It’s really Lynette Lore!
Who else other than the idiotic, wicked, and useless rich kid would have that face and that lofty attitude?!
Anya clenched her hand that was grabbing onto the wall corner so tightly that the shape of her joints showed through her skin and flesh.
One could see the amount of force she used and how ruffled she was by Lynette’s appearance.
Just when she thought the server whom Sonia was talking to was only somewhat distinctive, lo and behold, it was Lynette!
Since when did Lynette need to work as a server? Wait, that’s not the point—shouldn’t she be abroad?! When did she come back?
She had sent a crestfallen Lynette out of the country seven years ago and even made the young woman promise to never return. But now, she had broken her promise in a short seven years and returned to Caruna! It’s all because I…
Anya gritted her teeth, and her eyes were bloodshot. But very quickly, she tucked it all away and smiled maliciously.
It doesn’t matter, for it’s also good that she’s returned. She’s a force to be reckoned with.
Sure, she wasn’t as smart as Anya, but she could be as wicked as Anya.
What was more, given Lynette’s psychotic obsessiveness toward Toby, she believed the young woman’s first mission was certainly to snatch Toby for herself.
Since she’s going to snatch him, she’ll have to defeat Reed first.
Hence, Anya decided to sit back and let the two women fight to their deaths before she swooped in for the take.
At that, she grinned and shifted her gaze to Sonia, feeling bad for Sonia as Sonia had her and Lynette, the lunatic, as an enemy.
That woman was a tough nut. She might be a little dumb, but she was ruthless with her moves. More importantly, she didn’t know when to stop and would attack whenever. Thus, Sonia would have her hands full in fighting Lynette for a while.
At that, Anya released her grip on the wall and fished her phone out of her bag.
Lynette’s appearance was undoubtedly good news for her, for the young woman could help her get rid of Sonia and also find out some of Toby’s hidden forces. All in all, it would help her rather than trouble her.
That said, the original plan with Connor would require some alteration. Nonetheless, it wouldn’t be a big deal, and she believed Connor would consider her plan after learning about Lynette.
While calling Connor, Anya moved her wheelchair back. She then silently retreated out of the corner and headed far away.
She not only wanted to tell Connor about Lynette’s appearance but also have him find out when the young woman returned, for she hadn’t gotten a single hint when she was in police custody.
Meanwhile, Sonia and Lynette never discovered Anya the whole time, and Lynette was still beside herself with anger at Sonia’s words.
“Either way, you’re not going to hand over the leverage, aren’t you?!”
“Yes.” Sonia smiled.
“Are you not afraid of the consequences, Reed?” Lynette asked grimly.
Too bad for her, Lynette’s face could never look intimidating no matter what she did. Thus, not only would people not fear her, but they would even find her hideous.
What a lost cause for such an adorable face.
At that, Sonia subtly shook her head and felt sad to see such an adorable face on someone like Lynette.
“What consequences would there be? Let’s hear it out. For all we know, I might get scared and might eventually yield, no, Miss Lore?” Sonia smiled.
The double ‘might’ infuriated Lynette, for she knew the woman was mocking her.
Sonia had first countered her ‘might’, and now, she deliberately used two ‘mights’ to counterattack.
What an evil wench!
“Need I tell you what consequences you’ll face?!” Lynette glared daggers at Sonia with bloodshot eyes. “I will make your life a living hell and have you regret not agreeing to my demand. Toby’s means will only be more torturous than mine. Who’s to say if you’ll even live at the end of it?”
With that, she observed Sonia’s expression, wanting to see if the woman would be afraid at all.
If she did, that meant that her intimidation worked.
If she didn’t…
However, there was no ‘if’. Sonia wasn’t the least bit afraid, and the discovery left Lynette frothing at the mouth.
“Are you not afraid to die at all?!” Lynette exclaimed with incredulity, leading Sonia to roll her eyes unapologetically. “Please, Miss Lore. The world is governed by law nowadays. Do you think it’s good to paint your dear Toby a law-flouting demon who’d kill whenever he wants to? As for your threat to me—do you want to bet that you’d become their top monitoring subject if I recorded what you said and handed it to the police? Once anything bad happens to me, you’ll become their number one suspect.”
Seeing that Lynette’s countenance turned enigmatic, Sonia snorted, then said, “Judging from your expression, I can tell you’re probably clueless about the law. No wonder you’re uneducated enough to say something so cocky. Alright, let me enlighten you. First off, Miss Lore, your beloved Toby Fuller is most certainly a law-abiding citizen, and the way you describe him makes me question your ill-intent and also doubt if you actually love Toby. Otherwise, why would you want to slander him? Hence, I will relate your words to him honestly and see what he thinks of you. As for you, I will relate your words to the police and let them give you a lecture on the law.”
With that, Sonia turned to leave.
“You can’t leave!” Lynette stopped Sonia, looking panicked and apprehensive. “I won’t let you tell Toby.”
As for whether Sonia reported her to the police, she didn’t care one bit. All that mattered to Lynette was Toby, who had already thought lesser of her now. Naturally, she wouldn’t want Sonia to ruin it further.
She admitted that she had let her anger take control and thus allowed Sonia to get leverage on her. Hence, she had to stop this woman no matter what.
“And I’m supposed to go along with you just because you don’t want me to? Who do you think you are?” Sonia shot Lynette a dismissive glance, then continued walking away.
A hint of malice flashed across the young woman’s eyes when she realized Sonia wasn’t going to stop, and she raised her hands, wanting to shove Sonia.
Reed can’t tell on me anymore once she falls. Yes, she can’t leave if she can’t move! Also, there’s no surveillance here. No one will know what I do to her, not even Toby. Why not do something?!
Once the malice arose, it would only snowball instead of disappearing.
Lynette’s evil grin spread across her face irrepressibly as she watched her hand get closer and closer to Sonia’s back.
Just one push; one push and her face will land on the floor. By then, her face will be disfigured even if she doesn’t die. Then, I’ll destroy her throat so that she can never speak again. By then, no one will ever know it was me!
