Chapter 368


    Pursing his lips into a thin line, Toby suppressed his annoyance within and gestured to Tom to


    knock on the door with a wave of his hand.


    Tom knocked as instructed, which made Charles and Tim stop their conversation abruptly.


    Simultaneously, they spun their heads to the door and saw Toby.


    Besides being a little surprised, there wasn’t much reaction from Tim. On the other hand, Charles’


    face turned sour at the sight of him. “Why are you here? Who allowed you toe?”


    Toby didn’t answer him and asked Tom to push him in, which angered Charles. “Hey, I didn’t allow


    you toe in! What are you doing here? Where are your manners?”


    “This is Sonia’s ward, and it’s not up to you to give the permission,” Toby said indifferently, sweeping


    his gaze over him.


    Although angry, Charles couldn’t find the words to argue, so he simply snorted. “You only have the


    guts to do this because my darling is still unconscious. If she were awake, she definitely wouldn’t let


    you in.”


    Toby frowned and ignored him. To him, the more responsive he was to people like Charles, the


    more aggressive they would be, and they woulde to a stop by themselves if he just ignored


    them for a while.


    However, Charles smirked smugly at his silence. “Your silence means that you think I was right,


    huh?”


    Pretending not to hear him, Toby turned his attention to Sonia, who was lying in bed, and he gripped


    the armrest of the wheelchair tightly. “What happened to Sonia?” he asked, twisting his head to look


    at Tim.N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    Meanwhile, Tim had been watching them in amusement, enjoying the argument between these two


    rivals in love; he wasn’t expecting that Toby would end it


    one-sidedly by asking him a question.


    But since he had a question thrown at him, he had to answer it with all seriousness as well. Pushing


    his sses higher up the bridge of his nose, he said, “The back of her head was maliciously struck,


    resulting in a moderate head concussion. Also, a small part of her skin was cut out on her wrist.”


    At the mention of Sonia’s wrist, Tim narrowed his eyes. After he walked out of the operation theater


    yesterday, the hospital director told him that Charles had sent a patient by the name of Sonia here.


    Just as he expected, the blood on Charles was from Sonia. Hence, he quickly went to check out her


    condition, then he immediately retrieved Sonia’s ER video and saw the injuries on the back of her


    head and her wrist.


    At that point, Sonia was already out of the ER, and her injuries had been bandaged, so he couldn’t


    open it up to check it and could only check it through this method. While he could understand that


    the head trauma was inflicted to knock her out, he couldn’t understand the cut on her wrist.


    If the intention of the perpetrator was to rob her or anything else, they could have achieved their


    motive by knocking her out. So, why did they cut her wrist on the spot where her red mole


    happened to be?


    From the video recording, he saw that the red mole waspletely gone. In other words, the


    perpetrator’s sole motive was to eliminate that red mole.


    “What did you say? She was maliciously struck? By whom?” Toby eximed, springing up from the


    wheelchair suddenly and holding his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked loudly.


    Startled, Charles gasped. “Damn. So you’re not disabled!”


    Toby cast him an icy look from the corners of his eyes and then turned to Tim, who shook his head.


    “I don’t know. You should ask him because he’s the one investigating it now.


    “And what did you find out?” Toby asked, ncing at Charles.


    “Why should I tell you? This is our problem. You don’t have to stick your nose in this!” Charles


    sneered.


    In a split second, Toby’s face turned grim, and the air around him turned chilly. Warily, Charles


    peered at him. “What now? You’re going to throw your temper? It’s useless even if—”


    He had yet to finish his sentence when a baby voice interrupted him. “Mr. Fuller, I’ll tell you! Mr.


    Lane hasn’t caught the bad guy who hurt Aunt Sonia!”


    “Little Doug...” Filled with disbelief, Charles gawked at Dous, who was seated on the couch


    nearby. This rascal sold me out!


    An astonished look shed across Toby’s eyes when he saw Dous. What’s this little guy doing


    here? Why didn’t I notice that he was here earlier?


    However, he managed to figure it out very quickly. After he got into the ward, he had kept his gaze


    on the bed and didn’t even look at the couch once. So, it made sense that he didn’t notice that


    Dous was also in the room.


    “Dous, is it true when you said that he hasn’t caught the guy yet?” Toby asked in a more gentle


    voice as he looked at Dous.


    Nodding, Dous answered, “Yes, it’s true. I’ve been by Mr. Lane’s side the whole time, so I’m very


    sure about it.”


    “You little rascal, I think you’re asking for a beating!” Furious, Charles rubbed his palms together


    and walked toward him.


    Jumping off the couch in a hurry, Dous then ran to Toby and hid behind him before poking out his


    tiny head. “Mr. Lane, please don’t me me. I know Mr. Fuller, and he’s a very influential person.


    After an entire evening of investigations with the police, you still couldn’t find the bad guy. If you let


    Mr. Fuller try, I’m sure it will speed things up.”


    Charles fell silent as the edges of his lips twitched. He felt a prick in his chest, but he had to admit


    that Dous was right.


    The Fuller Group, which belonged to Toby, was the leader in Seafield, and he was no match for him


    when it came to influence and ability. Even though he disliked Toby, he decided to bear with it


    seeing that Toby was also doing it for Sonia’s sake. The important thing now was to find out who


    that jerk was.


    In the meantime, a faint smirk spread over Toby’s face when he saw Charles’ dumbstruck face and


    Dous’ appraisal of himself. Even the chilly air around him subsided a lot, and he was obviously in


    a good mood.


    Returning to his seat on the wheelchair, he turned to Tom. “Investigate this and find me the person


    who did this!”


    “Right away!” With a nod, Tom left the room to make a call.


    Of course he would assign his subordinate to do this because he was with Toby now and couldn’t


    just dump


    him here and leave by himself.


    Charles nced at Tom, who was outside the door, and then shifted his gaze to Toby, who was


    opposite him. Pouting his lips, he sneered, “Hmph, I would like to see how long it will take you to get


    to the bottom of this. It’ll be embarrassing if you can’t find out anything at the end of the day.”


    As usual, Toby ignored him and looked at Sonia, his eyes filled with worry and distress.


    Back at the Gray’s, Rina came downstairs with a ck stic bag in her hand. Seeing the bag in


    her hand, Titus, who was about to leave the house, asked curiously, “Rina, what are you carrying in


    there?”


    Rina’s eyes flickered and she answered, “Just some old clothes I brought from my old home. I’m


    going to throw them out now.


    With a nod of approval, he said, “You should have thrown it out sooner. It will only bring you bad


    luck if you keep things like that. You’re my daughter, and I’ve already said it when you were born


    that you’ll live the life of a princess your whole life. Not only will you enjoy the best materials, you’ll


    also live your life free of worries. Therefore, you can buy the best things from now on, and I’ll buy


    you anything you want.”


    His words caused her face to light up as she eximed, “Thank you, Dad!”


    However, besides happiness in her heart, there was also jealousy. Such an enviable promise was


    made to Miss Reed when she was born? Such a pity that she never enjoyed a single day of it. But


    even though she never enjoyed the ajfection from her father, she still lived a happy and wealthy life


    after she ended up in the Reed Family.


    Therefore, she couldn’t understand why some people were born with a silver spoon while there


    were some who lived a poor, hard life when they were all born as human.


    But it doesn’t matter, she thought. The important thing is that now, I’m Rina Gray, and I’m Titus’


    daughter. I’ll hang on tightly to everything I have now so nobody can even think about snatching it


    away from me!


    A vicious glint shrouded her eyes, but it gradually faded away. Staring at the suit Titus was wearing,


    she asked, “Are you going out, Dad?”


    “Yes, I’m going to thepany,” he answered. He wanted to go to Triforce and have another round


    of debate with Director Walker and the rest of them to fight for his position as the president. After all,


    he still had a chance because the meeting would be held tomorrow.


    “I see. Then I’ll leave the house with you. I’m taking the trash out,” she said, gesturing with the bag


    in her hand.
