Chapter 229


    “I’m being serious. I have two bodyguards who’re retired mercenaries, and they both took the lives


    of others. The aura I sensed from Reba felt the same as those two men’s aura. More


    importantly, I felt some calluses on her purlicue while I was shaking her hand—only people who


    spend a lot of time holding guns would have such calluses,” Carl exined in a stern tone.


    “Gosh, I guess Reba isn’t as simple of a woman as I thought she was!” Sonia gasped.


    “That’s why you should stay away from her, Sonia.” Carl repeatedly gave her the same reminder.


    However, Sonia shook her head in response to his words. “No, I shouldn’t stay away from Reba


    when she helped me in the past— that would make me an ungrateful person.


    Furthermore, I trust that she’d never hurt me.”


    Not everyone who has killed someone is a bad person, anyway. All the noble soldiers who protect


    ournd have blood on their hands, but we consider them good people anyway


    Carl gave up when he saw how stubborn Sonia was. “Okay. But I hope you’re a little more alert with


    Reba, Sonia. You shouldn’t put all your trust in her,” he muttered with a sigh. Sonia smiled and


    nodded as she understood that Carl was doing it for her own good. “Okay. I got it.”


    They arrived at their destination a while after they ended their conversation. Carl parked the car and


    got out with Sonia. The workers then led the two of them to the private cubicle—Tim was waiting for


    them there. He was standing in front of the window, toying with a tiny scalpel in his hand. He slowly


    turned around when he heard a noiseing from behind him.

    “Did you only bring one guy?” Tim took one nce at Carl before he shifted all of his focus toward


    Sonia.


    “Of course not. The rest of the men are hiding around near the area,” she replied calmly. While they


    were on the way over, she had contacted a securitypany and spent 10,000 just to hire ten


    security guards. All ten of the men should’ve arrived at the hotel—Sonia could sense that she was


    being watched the moment she arrived at the building.


    “Didn’t you ask me over to tell me how Tina’s going to attack me next? Where’s Tina now?” Sonia


    nced left and right as she questioned Tim.


    He pulled a chair out and gestured for her to sit down. “Tina isn’t here yet, and she will not enter this


    room. This room is where you’ll wait around to listen to her—I’ll have the conversation with her in


    the room next door. I’ve already installed hidden mics in the room next door.” He pointed a finger


    toward the electronic devices that were set up on the table.


    “Is that so?” Sonia muttered as she ced her bag down and sat on the chair. Carl hastily sat down


    beside her.


    All of a sudden, Tim’s phone began to ring. He took a nce at the screen, and the light reflected


    against his sses for a moment before he stuck the phone into his pocket. “She’s here. I’ll go over


    right now.”


    Sonia nodded, and Tim tidied his outfit before he strode out of their room. Soon enough, Sonia


    could hear the sounds of people talking through the audio monitor that was ced on the table. The


    voices belonged to none other than Tina and Tim.


    “Where did you go? The room was empty just now.” Tina began toin the moment she saw


    Tim walking in. She wore a look of disdain on her face. Tim would always arrive earlier whenever


    she asked to meet him, and he would sit in the room while waiting for her arrival. That was the first


    time she had walked into an empty room, and it made her displeased as she felt as if Tim wasn’t


    taking her seriously.


    ‘‘I went to the washroom. I’m so sorry,” Tim uttered as he pulled a chair out to sit down.


    Tina’s voice was firm and clear as she dropped the bomb immediately. “I’m asking to meet you for


    none other than the same reason—Sonia. This time, I want you to kill her immediately!”


    Tim narrowed his eyes a little. Meanwhile, Sonia felt chills running down her entire spine. I can’t


    believe Tina is actually asking Tim to kill me! Is she trying to get someone else to do the job since


    she failed to do it on her own?


    “Sonia...” Carl tightened his fists. His usual, kind expression was reced by a stern, icy look. “That


    woman is just too evil!”


    Sonia pressed her red lips together. “I know. I knew it all along.” Sonia had a feeling that Tina was a


    malicious, unkind woman ever since they were in university. However, it was only after Tina woke


    up from hera that Sonia had thoroughly understood something. Tina doesn’t even have a


    conscience—she is pure evil.


    “Did she trigger you in any way? What got you furious to a point where you’re asking me to murder


    her?” Tim lowered his gaze to conceal the hatred in his eyes as he poured a cup of tea for Tina.


    She pushed the teacup aside. “You know about Toby’s ident, right?”


    Tim eyed the teacup for a moment before his gaze dimmed a little. “Of course. However, I’m on


    break today, so I didn’t visit him at the hospital.” “Toby got into an ident near Bayside Residence,


    and it happened at about 11.00PMst night. My father called him and told him toe over to my


    house then, but he rejected my father and drove to meet Sonia instead. How am I supposed to keep


    my cool in this situation?!


    How can I not hate Sonia?!” Tina’s facial features were scrunched, and her body was trembling as


    she spoke.


    “Alright, alright. I’ll agree to your request, then. Why don’t you have some tea to calm yourself down


    first? You only woke up a few months ago, and your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. It’s not good for


    you to get so worked up.” Tim ced the teacup in front of her once more before coaxing her to


    drink the tea in a gentle tone. Tina loved the feeling of being ttered and cared for—she held her


    head up and took a nce at Tim before she agreed to his words. “Fine. Since you’re being so


    thoughtful, I guess I’ll take one sip of it.”


    Tim smiled without saying anything more. She raised the cup and sipped on the tea. “Why does it


    taste a little sweet?”


    "I added some sugar since you mentioned that the tea was a little too bitter thest time.” Tim


    pushed his sses up the bridge of his nose. Tina didn’t suspect anything as she continued to sip


    on the tea. Before she realized it, she had finished the entire cup of tea.


    A barely visible smirk formed on Tim’s lips as he looked at the empty teacup before his eyes. At that


    very moment, Tina’s phone began to ring. She grinned in surprise when she saw that it was a call


    from Jean. “Madam White, is Toby awake?” she uttered the moment she picked up the call.


    “Yeah. He just woke up,” the voice replied.


    “I’lle over immediately.” Tina got to her feet. Once she kept her phone away, she turned back to


    look at Tim. “I don’t know how long more I’d have to wait if I were to wait for Sonia to abort her child.


    I think we should give up on the n to kill her during the surgery.”


    “What do you want me to do, then?” Tim got to his feet as well.


    Tina balled her fists as she pulled her lips into a cold grin. “A car ident, a kidnapping, poisoning


    —anything that can kill her and her little baby in the quickest way possible. You can do whatever


    you wish to—I just don’t want to hear you fail again. I’ll forgive you for thatst time, but if you fail


    this time, I won’t talk to you for the rest of my life!”


    Tim looked as if he was shocked by her words.


    His naturally fairplexion made his face seem paler than usual at that moment. “Don’t worry. I


    won’t fail you.” His eyes were filled with determination as he stared at Tina.


    Tina let out a contented scoff before she turned to leave. Tim is just a dog thates whenever I


    tell him to. I know him well—the one thing he’s the most afraid of is to be ignored by his angel.


    That’s why I’ve been using his weakness as a threat so that I can get him to do all sorts of things for


    me.


    Once he saw Tina’s figure walking out and disappearing from his sight, Tim removed his sses


    and began to clean it without any expression on his face. He no longer looked shocked by her


    words. Did she threaten to ignore me for the rest of her life? Does she think she’s going to live for


    long?


    Right then, the sound of the door came from behind him. Tim put on his sses and turned around


    to meet Sonia’s icy re. “Don’t worry. I won’t actually do anything to you. I just pretended to agree


    to her.”


    “Don’t trust him, Sonia.” Carl eyed Tim suspiciously. If this man can agree to kill someone so easily,


    if he could utter such words without any hesitation, it just shows that he must have had some history


    of harming others. Furthermore, this person’s actual intentions seem to be very well-guarded—/


    can’t read him at all. Sonia will probably lose her life if she were to interact with such people.


    “I know.” Sonia nodded. She knew that she couldn’t trust Tim, even though he had saved her in the


    past.


    “What did it mean when Tina said that you failed to go through with the n thest time?” Sonia


    dug her nails into her palms as she looked up


    and red at Tim.
