Chapter 1132

Sonia praised the Gray couple for being good parents… Indeed, they're, as she put it, great parents.

Titus and his wife had believed in the last 27 years that Henry had killed Rina Gray, and the girl was deemed dead to the couple all these years. However, never once had the couple ever forgotten their late daughter.

Even to most parents, this was a nearly impossible task, for even when their child died, they were still living, and they had to look forward, eventually. They couldn't follow the child to the afterlife just because the child died.

That was impossible. What was more, that child had passed 27 years.

It would be surprising if a lot of parents had long forgotten about their child that had passed nearly three decades ago. Heavens, they might never even remember ever having that child. However, not Titus and his wife; they remembered even until now.

On that alone, no one could criticize them for being bad parents.

Secondly, when the daughter they thought was long dead suddenly appeared in front of them, not only had they not doubted whether this girl had some agenda, but they even accepted her right away and doted her to no end, making up for the lost 27 years.

And this also wasn't something all parents could do, especially in elite families.

The elites valued their family and personal dignity more than anything, and they had severe vanity as well. If they weren't flaunting their family businesses, they'd be flaunting their significant other or even

children.

As long as there was one thing they lost to the other, they'd become a joke to the latter.

When Taylor first appeared in front of the Gray couple, she was still a timid and unrefined, uncultured country bumpkin who knew no etiquette nor possessed any skills. But the Gray couple didn't despise a daughter like her and even accepted her immediately after they were certain she was indeed their daughter.

They never worried if they would become a laughing stock in the circle or if their rivals would take the chance to mock them for having such a humiliating daughter after taking her home.

Toby had to admit that even he thought highly of Titus, who cared so much about his dignity, when he could go this far for his daughter.

On the contrary, others in the circle would never do something like this. If anything, they might not even admit to having such a daughter, for they'd only think that bringing a daughter like Taylor home would only bring shame to themselves and their family. Unpresentable aside, they would become the laughingstock within the circle. So they could even as much as ruthlessly abandon their own flesh and blood.

There was a real-life example within the circle—the Lestranges.

The genuine and fake princess incident happened to the Lestranges a few years ago. A nanny had switched the daughter for her own at birth.

Since then, the true Lestrange daughter lived a miserable life while the fake daughter lived the life of a princess, having good command in nearly every aspect, allowing her to become a notable talent within the circle and being pursued by many eligible young men.

Alas, the switch was brought to light one day, and the genuine Lestrange daughter returned home. However, the fake Lestrange daughter never went back to hers and instead remained in the Lestrange Residence. Also, her name and status were retained.

On the other hand, everything and nothing changed for the genuine Lestrange daughter, as the Lestranges wouldn't admit she was their true progeny. Thus, instead of announcing to the public that she was the true daughter of the Lestrange Family, they told everyone they generously adopted her. As for the reason, what else other than not willing to accept the fact that their actual daughter was an incompetent, unpresentable country bumpkin? They thought having a daughter like she would bring shame to them and their family.

On the contrary, the public might even compliment them for their kindness if they told everyone they adopted her. As such, they didn't have to worry their actual daughter would bring them shame after retrieving her, and they couldn't also gain a favorable reputation. It was the best of both worlds.

However, for the genuine Lestrange daughter, it was no fortune but that she had only been taken to a different hell.

After returning to her actual family, not only that her parents wouldn't disclose her true identity to the public, allowing them to assume she really was their adopted daughter, but the servants of the Lestrange family would bully her covertly and blatantly because they were jealous of her.

The fake Lestrange daughter, on the other hand, gradually believed that the genuine daughter was a

ticking time bomb that threatened her status and thus began acting harmless to set her up in hopes that the Lestrange couple would hate the genuine daughter even more.

Meanwhile, as parents of the two girls, the Lestrange couple turned a blind eye to their actual daughter from being ashamed of having such a daughter. Hence, even when they were well aware of the bullies and torments the girl suffered, they never did anything.

Ultimately, the genuine Lestrange daughter had enough of such suffering and leaped from Lestrange Enterprise, making her way to the afterlife. Hence, Toby believed not every parent could be as good as Titus and his wife.

They undoubtedly accepted a daughter that hadn't been in their lives for the last twenty-plus years, who came from a world different than theirs. Though the existence of their daughter could bring endless ridicule to their family, they didn't bother about how others viewed them.

Tha ganuina and faka princass incidant happanad to tha Lastrangas a faw yaars ago. A nanny had switchad tha daughtar for har own at birth.

Sinca than, tha trua Lastranga daughtar livad a misarabla lifa whila tha faka daughtar livad tha lifa of a princass, having good command in naarly avary aspact, allowing har to bacoma a notabla talant within tha circla and baing pursuad by many aligibla young man.

Alas, tha switch was brought to light ona day, and tha ganuina Lastranga daughtar raturnad homa. Howavar, tha faka Lastranga daughtar navar want back to hars and instaad ramainad in tha Lastranga Rasidanca. Also, har nama and status wara ratainad.

On tha othar hand, avarything and nothing changad for tha ganuina Lastranga daughtar, as tha

Lastrangas wouldn't admit sha was thair trua progany. Thus, instaad of announcing to tha public that sha was tha trua daughtar of tha Lastranga Family, thay told avaryona thay ganarously adoptad har. As for tha raason, what alsa othar than not willing to accapt tha fact that thair actual daughtar was an incompatant, unprasantabla country bumpkin? Thay thought having a daughtar lika sha would bring shama to tham and thair family.

On tha contrary, tha public might avan complimant tham for thair kindnass if thay told avaryona thay adoptad har. As such, thay didn't hava to worry thair actual daughtar would bring tham shama aftar ratriaving har, and thay couldn't also gain a favorabla raputation. It was tha bast of both worlds.

Howavar, for tha ganuina Lastranga daughtar, it was no fortuna but that sha had only baan takan to a diffarant hall.

Aftar raturning to har actual family, not only that har parants wouldn't disclosa har trua idantity to tha public, allowing tham to assuma sha raally was thair adoptad daughtar, but tha sarvants of tha Lastranga family would bully har covartly and blatantly bacausa thay wara jaalous of har.

Tha faka Lastranga daughtar, on tha othar hand, gradually baliavad that tha ganuina daughtar was a ticking tima bomb that thraatanad har status and thus bagan acting harmlass to sat har up in hopas that tha Lastranga coupla would hata tha ganuina daughtar avan mora.

Maanwhila, as parants of tha two girls, tha Lastranga coupla turnad a blind aya to thair actual daughtar from baing ashamad of having such a daughtar. Hanca, avan whan thay wara wall awara of tha bullias and tormants tha girl suffarad, thay navar did anything.

Ultimataly, tha ganuina Lastranga daughtar had anough of such suffaring and laapad from Lastranga Entarprisa, making har way to tha aftarlifa. Hanca, Toby baliavad not avary parant could ba as good as

Titus and his wifa.

Thay undoubtadly accaptad a daughtar that hadn't baan in thair livas for tha last twanty-plus yaars, who cama from a world diffarant than thairs. Though tha axistanca of thair daughtar could bring andlass ridicula to thair family, thay didn't bothar about how othars viawad tham.

He could even guarantee if the Gray couple knew Sonia was their real daughter, they would instantly bring her home and reunite as a family, even if Sonia loathed them to her core. To make up for Sonia and subside the hatred within her, they might even be willing to head to the afterlife.

To the couple who loved their daughter more than anything, it was very plausible for them to make such a move.

By then, Sonia would end up being the most miserable one.

She would think her revenge became the most ridiculous thing, and even because of her identity, she not only couldn't decisively avenge the Reed Family, it would even become the very thing that ended her birth parents' lives.

By then, Sonia would fall into deep madness, and it was something he didn't want to imagine.

This was precisely why he had kept the truth of Sonia's birth from her all this while. He wouldn't have to keep his lips tightly sealed if the Gray couple didn't love their child so deeply.

Seeing that Toby fixed his gaze on her but said nothing for a long time, Sonia poked his chest gently. "Toby, what's running through your mind?"

A glimmer flashed across Toby as he returned to reality, and he tightened his arms around her again before drooping his eyelids to cover up the darkness surging beneath them. "Nothing. Alright, let's not talk about Tim's parents anymore. It's really late now; get some sleep."

At that, he reached for the switch, but Sonia grabbed his arm. "Wait, I'm not done yet. I still need your help with something."

"Oh?" His eyes lit up as he put his arm down, intrigued. "This is the first time you're asking for my help. C'mon, tell me, your dear husband will help no matter what it is."

Sonia rolled her eyes at him with a flushed face, for she thought the man was getting more audacious with their relationship.

"It's actually nothing big. Tim asked me to get him a ticket, but you need a specific network to get it. I don't have access to an official network, so I can only ask for your help."

"What ticket is this that needs a special network?" Toby frowned.

"Well…" Sonia didn't keep it from him but recited Tim's desire to visit the museum.

Having gotten his answer, he patted her back. "Alright, got it. This is simple. I'll have Tom see to it later and deliver the ticket right to him."

"Thanks." Sonia beamed with elation.

However, Toby' gaze dimmed. "That's all I'm getting? A verbal thank you? Are you not going to give me something else?"
