Chapter 1473Chapter 1473 Rose’s Birthday
"Madam Mary, get some supplements and… send them to her," Sonia said, her eyes flashing.
She knew that Mary would understand whom she was referring to.
Glancing at the phone that Sonia had left on her covers, Mary immediately caught on and gave her a
smile. "All right, I'll get to it soon."
"Okay." Sonia nodded with a smile as well.
After Mary headed into the room again, Sonia picked up her book and continued to read.
Originally, she was planning to take her exam during the second half of the year, but her plans were
forcibly changed when she unexpectedly got pregnant. Besides, the exam just so happened to be held
when she would be around eight to nine months pregnant, and it would most likely be impossible for
her to take the exam with a large belly. More importantly, she was pregnant with twins, and there was a
high possibility that she would have premature labor. There was a chance that by the time of the exam,
she would've already given birth and would be in the middle of postpartum recovery.
In any case, she was not concerned about the exam anymore. If she hadn't given birth at the time and
she was in a good condition, she would take the exam. But if she was going through postpartum
recovery or wasn't fit enough to walk, she would sit it out. Either way, regardless of whether she took
the exam or not, she intended to continue to read up on the required syllabus so that she wouldn't fall
behind. After all, she still needed the knowledge for the next exam.
Toby was not around today as he had gone to the company, or he would've been the one teaching her. …
Meanwhile, a large slap sounded in a dingy room as Connor struck Tina across the face, sending her
collapsing to the ground.
Stupefied by the impact, Tina remained sprawled and didn't react, only staring at the carpet with a
blank gaze and a crooked face.
She had just gotten work done on her face and hadn't fully recovered as it would take at least a year or
two to completely heal from a full facial surgery, and the slap instantly caused half of her face to fall out
of place and burn with pain.
This pain finally brought her back to her senses, and she sat up, looking at Connor's twisted expression
with a look of horror. "W-Why did you hit me?"
She had crossed the line recently, resulting in his displeasure and causing him to give her a slap that
knocked her out of her senses as soon as he walked in.
"Why, you ask?" Connor clenched the dragon head on his walking stick. "Didn't I tell you to stay put for
now? The cops are all over the place outside, so I told you to stop causing trouble and see how things
go, but you went and kicked up a huge fuss at the Gray Residence. Now they've called the police, and
there are even more cops keeping an eye on us now."
Indeed, his initial goal was for Tina to cause more trouble, best if she could turn Seafield upside down.
However, before she could unleash her full power, they landed themselves under the police'ssurveillance.
He knew that Toby must've been behind this, so he instantly instructed Tina to behave so that he could
come up with a plan to leave Seafield. His instinct told him that if he didn't leave any sooner, he would
never make it.
However, Seafield was Toby's territory, and he was also being monitored, so it was no simple task to
leave this place at all. Hence, he had been racking his brains recently for a solution, but this woman
unexpectedly left to cause trouble at the Gray Residence, causing the number of people monitoring
them to increase, making it even more difficult for him to leave. How could he not be furious?
"I… I don't know. I didn't think about that." Tina was genuinely afraid of him, and upon seeing his
murderous expression, she couldn't help but tremble like a leaf.
"You didn't think about that?" Connor let out an angry laugh. "Didn't I tell you not to go anywhere for the
time being? Did my words go in one ear and out the other?"
Upon saying that, he struck her with his walking stick.
Tina let out an anguished shriek. "I'm sorry! I promise I won't do it next time! I'll listen to everything you
say! Please stop…"
"Next time?" Connor's eyes turned glacial at her words. "You ruined all my plans this time. And you
want to have a next time?"
His question immediately rendered Tina speechless. Connor's eyes were as cold as ice, and he looked at her viciously. "You better stay in the house from
now on. If you dare to run about again, I'll kill you before Toby does. Got it?"
"Y-Yes," Tina replied fearfully with a shaky nod.
If someone who knew her saw her like this, they would probably go into shock at the sight. After all, she
used to waltz around like she ruled the world but was now cautious and timid. Although she was still as
venomous as before, the fact that she was reduced to a shivering mouse was pitiful.
Ignoring her, Connor got up and left.

crooked!"
She was unable to accept her hideous appearance, and besides, it was extremely painful.
"Call a doctor for you?" Connor scoffed coldly. "Means I gotta pay for you, no? I spent so much money
on you for you to work for me, but what have you done? You haven't done anything for me, but you're
now hoping for me to fix your face with my money? Keep dreaming."
He kicked her hand away and left the room, where Tina shrieked and wailed as if she had gone crazy.
However, he remained unfazed as he listened to the commotion from outside.
Xander handed him a lit cigarette and said, "Boss, should we just…"
Saying this, he dragged a finger across his neck. Connor shook his head. "No, she's still useful. When Toby comes after us, we can still use her as a
shield."
At this point, that was all she was good for and nothing else. Moreover, she was as dangerous as a
poisonous snake, and he did not dare let her participate in too many of his plans.
"Yes, sir." Hearing that, Xander immediately stopped talking.
"Let's go."
Tossing the cigarette aside, Connor slunk away on his walking stick, leaving Tina to wail about her face
and roar for a doctor inside the room.
Of course, Toby and Sonia were unaware of all these things, but even if they knew, they would only say
that she deserved it. A demon meeting another demon and then getting held down by yet another
demon was what Tina deserved.
After returning from work, Toby sat by the sick bed and was peeling apples for Sonia when he suddenly
remembered something and said, "By the way, darling, Grandma told us to go back to the old manor for
her birthday on the day after tomorrow."
Sonia was startled. "Birthday?"
"Yeah."
"I completely forgot about it." Sonia slapped her forehead. Counting the days in her head, she realized
it was the day after tomorrow and asked, "Is Grandma hosting a birthday party?" Toby shook his head. "I asked if she wanted to host a party, but she turned down the offer, saying that
she doesn't need one at her age and she only wishes for us to have dinner together without going
through all that trouble, so we'll be heading back the day after tomorrow."
"Okay," she agreed.
As Rose's granddaughter-in-law, there was no way she would miss her birthday dinner. However, she
did have to come up with a gift before she went.
"Here." Toby sliced the peeled apples into small pieces and placed them on a plate, which he handed
to her before instructing, "Don't eat too much. We'll be having dinner soon."
"I know, I know." Sonia accepted the plate of apples with a smile, her heart filled with warmth.
When Toby got up to wash his hands, she hurriedly placed the plate down and picked up her phone to
send Grace a text, asking her for gift ideas.
In the past six years, she had given Rose jade jewelry every single year, but it would seem half-hearted
if she continued to do so. Hence, she planned to give her a different present this year. However, she
couldn't come up with any ideas, so she could only resort to seeking Grace's help. Although Grace was
nowhere near Rose's age, she would definitely know what old folks liked, and Sonia felt that asking her
for help wouldn't go wrong.
