Chapter 1029 Just What He Wanted

• Sonia looked calmly into his eyes. "Because I was weak. Because I don't come from a good family. Because I'm an orphan. Because my husband didn't care about me. Because I had no one to help me. Because they only bully the weak. I realized that, and I swore I'd get stronger. Not just myself either. I'd create a whole team of strong people to back me up. Nobody's gonna push me around if I have power. And I don't want to rely on anyone else for that. I can't trust anyone but myself."
• She can't trust anyone but herself. Toby felt a little hurt. He clenched his fists and asked hoarsely, "You can't trust me either?"
• Sonia averted her gaze, refusing to look into his eyes. She knew he was a little hurt. "Yes. Everyone's prone to betrayal. Some can even betray their own family. That can happen to us too. And besides, I told you one of the reasons is that I don't want to turn to you every time I run into something. If I do that every time, I'll eventually lose my independence. I'd be left for dead if you dump me again."
