Chapter 934 A Humanlike Drug

• Charles fell silent as well. For a moment, he couldn't come up with a good solution. After all, they were going up against the head of the Salzburg Family, a presence that not even the Lane Corporation could mess with, let alone the current Paradigm Co. Otherwise, he would've put pressure on Connor right away in the Lane Family's name and forced him to return the spare parts.
• Of course, there was another person at the moment who could make Connor hand over the spare parts—Toby. To Charles, however, Toby was both his love rival and a nuisance, so he couldn't ask Toby for help. He couldn't deign to do so, nor could he put aside his pride. At the same time, though, he couldn't tell Sonia to ask Toby for help. In reality, Sonia and Toby were a couple, so it was perfectly justified for her to ask Toby for help. However, Charles knew that Sonia wouldn't want to rely on men to accomplish something. Otherwise, she would've turned to Toby as soon as the incident happened instead of procrastinating until now. Therefore, he respected her ideas as a friend. Since she didn't want to ask Toby for help, he wouldn't bring this up, of course.
• Furthermore, he had a selfish motive in not suggesting that she ask Toby for help. By telling her to go to Toby, he would undoubtedly acknowledge that he was no match for Toby in every aspect. He wasn't as useful as Toby, nor could he be of help to her as Toby was. He knew it was despicable of him to think like this, but it wasn't like he wanted to do so. He had loved Sonia for over ten years, having fallen in love with her since he matured at the age of puberty. In other words, he had fallen in love with her much earlier than Toby had. In the end, however, Toby had stolen her from him twice. He had said that he would now give up, get over her, and give them his best wishes. Inwardly, however, he couldn't reconcile himself to this. In short, he was unwilling to go to Toby.
