Chapter 377


    Sonia was a little angry. “I thought her guilty conscience got to her. Turns out she didn’t want to hide


    because she knew she’d get caught sooner orter.”


    Toby looked at her. “What do you want to do with this person?”


    “Don’t rush it. I want to know why she attacked me.” Sonia squeezed her fists, her expression


    extremely cold.


    Toby suddenly narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t give an exnation.”


    “No exnation?” Sonia was surprised.


    Toby rubbed his fingers together, and his entire demeanor exuded a murderous aura. “Yes. No


    matter how the police interrogated her, she wouldn’t exin.”


    Sonia gritted her teeth. “Then, she’s quite stubborn.” “Charles saw her, and ording to him, she


    seemed to have someone backing her, so she refused to exin.” Toby pressed his thin lips into a


    straight line.


    Although he didn’t go to the police station to see the woman, Tom did.


    Tom said that the police even used a strong light during interrogation, but the woman still didn’t


    exin. She obviously didn’t seem like a strong person—she was just an ordinary person who was


    rather soft and weak—but that woman stood firm on not disclosing any information.


    So, if it wasn’t because something was worrying her, her willpower wouldn’t be so strong.


    “What’s that woman’s name?” Sonia took a deep breath and managed to calm down.


    Toby looked at her. “Alice Collins.”


    It was an extremely rustic andmon name.


    “Alice Collins?” Sonia was puzzled. It was obvious that she didn’t know this person, nor had she


    heard of that name before.


    So, why would a person who had no grievances or grudges against her do this to her?


    Was she ordered by someone, or...


    For a moment, Sonia’s heart was filled with many doubts.


    “I want to go to the police station tomorrow to see the woman and personally question her,” Sonia


    said solemnly.


    She wouldn’t be satisfied if she didn’t question the woman herself!


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Toby was a little reluctant to agree at first, seeing as she had yet to fully recover.


    But when he saw the determination on her face, he decided not to stop her.


    At the Gray Residence in Eastbourne, Rina had just found out that Alice had been captured. Her


    heart was beating rapidly, and she barely took two bites of her dinner before excusing herself to her


    bedroom, iming that she was feeling unwell.


    As she sat on the edge of her bed, her breathing was heavy, and her anxiety was clear from her


    expression.


    Right now, she was afraid that Alice would expose her.


    Rina had made a deal with Alice, in which Alice promised to be investigated by the police on her


    behalf, and she repeatedly promised that she wouldn’t give Rina up. Despite that, in the end, who


    could guarantee that it wouldn’t happen?


    So, she had been on edge since the afternoon, and she was distracted when she went shopping


    with her mother. It wasn’t until dinnertime when she saw from the news that Alice had been arrested


    that shepletely panicked. She was worried that the police would suddenly turn up to arrest her,


    the real culprit.


    Indeed—the person who harmed Sonia was actually her, not Alice.


    The day before she nned to take action against Sonia, she happened to meet Alice. When she


    found out that Alice desperately needed money to treat her son, she took the initiative to speak to


    Alice and had struck a deal with her. She would pay for Alice’s son’s treatment, while Alice would


    take the me for her.


    So, she came up with a n. She bought a set of men’s clothes for Alice and brought them to the


    department store. At 5.00PM, they met in the store’s restroom and swapped clothes. Wearing


    Alice’s clothes, she went to Bayside Residence to destroy Sonia’s red mole, while Alice, posing as


    Rina, took a taxi to Midbert Vige to wait for her. After she destroyed Sonia’s mole, she went to


    Midbert Vige to swap back with Alice. This n only worked out well because she and Alice were


    the same height and weight. Otherwise, the police would surely notice that the person who attacked


    Sonia and the person they arrested were different.


    After changing back into her own clothes, she returned to the Gray Residence and broke the stick


    that she used to attack Sonia, then wrapped it up in some old clothes before cing it into a ck


    garbage bag and throwing it away.


    She brought it back to throw because she was afraid that the police would find it if she discarded it


    at Bayside Residence. After all, there may be some fingerprints on it that she failed to clean. If they


    found out, her n would be useless.


    She didn’t ask Alice to attack Sonia but did it herself instead because Alice was too timid, even


    more so than Rina. When she heard that the task was to harm someone, she wasn’t willing to do it,


    so Rina had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.


    Although she wasn’t exactly a good person and was rather shrewd, it was still her first time hurting


    someone. So, when she attacked Sonia, she was anxious and scared, but she had to go through


    with it for the sake of her future. Surprisingly, she was no longer scared after it was done; she was


    only fearful that she would be caught.


    However, the news had said that Alice was arrested at around 4.00PM. Several hours had passed,


    but the police hadn’te looking for her yet, so it seemed like Alice didn’t expose her after all.


    With this in mind, Rina’s restless and frightened heart calmed down a little.


    Getting up, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, then looked out at the night sky and


    murmured, “Miss Reed, please don’t hold this against me. I’m just doing this for my future. Since


    you and Mr. Coleman brought me to this paradise and aroused my greed, then you have to be


    responsible for it. So, the me should be on you for being Rina...”


    At 9.00AM the next day, Sonia asked Charles to take the morning off for her, then she prepared to


    go to the police station to take a look at Alice.


    Charles was unable to talk her out of it, so he could only agree and got a wheelchair before


    apanying her there.


    They had just reached the parking lot when Tom pushed Toby over as well.


    Seeing this, Charles ced both hands on his waist. “What, now? You want to go too?”


    Toby didn’t deny it. “Am I not allowed to? I’m part of the reason she was caught, so it’s only right


    that I go too.”


    Charles pursed his lips. “If it wasn’t because of that, I’d do anything to stop you.


    “Okay, Charles. That’s enough. Let’s go.” Sonia couldn’t see, so she could only fumble around until


    she found Charles. Then, she patted his hand and urged helplessly, “Don’t forget. We’re only free in


    the morning.” “Sorry, Darling. You know that I want to take jabs at Toby everytime I see him. I’ll help


    you get into the car.” As he spoke, he took out his car keys and opened the door.


    Beside them, Tom let out a light cough, then suppressed hisughter and said to Toby, “President


    Fuller, let’s get into the car too.


    Toby murmured assent. Despite agreeing, he didn’t move, but kept staring at Sonia instead.


    It wasn’t until Sonia got into the car with Charles’ help that he signaled for Tom to push him to their


    car.


    With one in front of the other, the two cars arrived at the police station almost a dozen seconds


    apart.


    Charles then pushed Sonia in.


    The police station had received Toby’s phone call and knew that they wereing, so they


    wordlessly brought them to see Alice.


    Alice had been locked up in the interrogation room all this while, and the police nned to keep her


    there for twenty-four hours, so they didn’t give her anything to eat, but only gave her water. They


    didn’t allow her to sleep as well, and even kept her under strong light to oppress her so that she


    would break down and confess.


    It had been more than ten hours now, and Alice was obviously in a distressed state, but she still


    refused to say anything, which was truly troubling the police.


    After all, they rarely encountered people who were so perseverant. Usually, only those guilty of the


    most heinous crimes would be so tough because they had toorge of an involvement.


    But Alice was just a regr citizen, and she had only made a small mistake, yet she was so


    resistant. It really made them feel helpless.


    “So, you’re Alice?” Sonia asked. After Charles pushed her into the interrogation room, he whispered


    to her that Alice was right in front of her.
