Chapter 631
Soon, the call was answered and a woman’s exhausted voice was heard. “President Reed.”
“Reba, long time no see.” Sonia rubbed her cheeks to rx her facial muscles to reveal a smile.
On the other end, Reba also smiled. “Yes, it’s been so long since west contacted each other.
President Reed, how have you been recently?”
“I’m doing well,” Sonia answered with a smile as she thought about Toby. “There has been a huge
change too.” It had been a month since Reba’s departure. A month ago, Sonia had sworn that
she would never fall in love with Toby again, let alone get together with him, but she was forced to
swallow her words four weekster.
Therefore, it was true that there was a huge change.
“What about you, Reba?” Sonia retracted her thoughts and asked, “How have you been? I can
hear from your voice that you are tired. What are you doing at the moment?”
On the other end, Reba slightly lowered her head and remained silent for a few seconds before
answering, “I’m boxing at the gym. I have nothing else to do, so I came over to pass the time.”
“I see.” Sonia nodded, not feeling that there was something amiss with the answer.
Then, Reba cradled her phone on her shoulder and walked out of the ring while removing her
boxing gloves. “By the way, President Reed, why did you call me?”

Sonia gave a simple reply as her face grew solemn. “I received a call from Lucius earlier. Do you
know what he has done... to Den?”
She didn’t dare to describe Den’s horrible situation because it was too graphic for her to repeat
the imagery.
“I’ve heard about it.” Reba threw the gloves on the couch in the resting area before sitting down
to reply to Sonia.
As Sonia listened to the reply, she tilted her head in confusion. “You’ve heard about it? Aren’t you
the one specifically responsible for his safety? Why is it that you have only heard about it?”
When Reba discovered that Lucius was actually Carl, she had stayed by his side as a personal
bodyguard and never left him.
Therefore, it was logical to think that she should have known firsthand about Lucius torturing Den
instead of learning about it through rumors.
It seemed as though something was wrong.
Sensing Sonia’s confusion, Reba breathed a sigh while her eyes darkened on the other end of
the line. “President Reed, I’m no longer his bodyguard.”
“What?!” Sonia was shocked. “You’re no longer his bodyguard?” “Yes.” Reba nodded.
“What happened?”
Reba took the can of energy drink on the coffee table in front of her and took a sip. “It’s because
he doesn’t trust me. He feels that the person I''m loyal to is Carl instead of him, so he has
transferred me to another ce. Now, I have lots of time on my hands. My daily job is to patrol the
estate and nothing else.”
“I see.” It was Sonia’s turn to nod. “He really is distrustful.”
“Actually, he’s right. The person I’m loyal to is indeed Carl and not him. I reckon he saw through me
and transferred me out after his return to the Hayes Family so that I won’t interfere with his ns.”
Reba shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t care.
Sonia sighed. “Does that mean you won’t know what he is doing from now on?”
“Not quite. I’m still the top dog among the Hayes Family’s team of bodyguards. My subordinates will
still send news to me from time to time. It was them who told me about Den. I heard that he badly
tortured Den.” Reba ced her drink down on the table.
Sonia replied, “It’s grotesque. He has just sent photos of it over and it really scared the hell out of
me. At the same time, it made me realize that he is an upromising devil. We can’t let a devil
like him continue existing in this world, so I want to ask you whether there’s a way of waking Carl up
and allowing him to take control of his body again. However, by the looks of it, I don’t think there’s
any way for it to happen.”
When Reba left Seafield, Sonia had reminded her to always keep an eye on Lucius so that she
could wake Carl up at any given chance.
However, now that Reba was no longer beside Lucius, there was naturally no way for Carl to
regain consciousness.
Reba seemed to understand what Sonia thought, so shey down on the couch and replied
lazily, “President Reed, don’t worry because there is indeed a way. Even though I haven’t been by
his side, I have been looking into some information about ways to bring someone back to their
bodies.”
As she listened to Reba, Sonia’s eyes brightened. “Have you found anything?”
“At the moment, I have found some clues, but there are way too many methods that I don’t know
which ones are useful, so I’m still clueless for the time being. I n to ask some professionals to
determine which method is the most effective before using it. Just like you, I also want to bring Carl
back as soon as possible. After all, his other personality is indeed extremely evil. Although Carl isn’t
that better of a person, this Lucius fellow is far worse than him. It isn’t ideal to keep him for a long
time.”
“I agree.” Sonia rubbed her temple as she had the same thought.
Then, Reba heard footstepsing toward her, so she lifted her head and saw her father
approaching her. “Alright, Sonia. I’ve something to do here, so that’ll be all for now. I’ll inform you
once I have found a method.”
“Alright. It’s all on you now.” Sonia nodded.
After the call, she put down her phone and breathed a long sigh.
She had never expected Lucius to locate Den and torture him that badly.
Thinking about that photo she saw earlier, she furrowed her brows and stood up before walking
toward the washroom.
After a while, Sonia emerged with water all over her ears and her fringe. It was obvious that she had
washed her face with cold water.
Given how terrifying and bloody that photo was, there was no other way. If she didn’t calm herself
down, she would probably suffer from nightmarester that night.
Thest time I saw Tina’s fake corpse, I had several nightmares that night.
However, the moment she thought about Tina, she couldn’t help but purse her red lips. Where the
hell did Tina go, though?
Just as Sonia thought about it, someone knocked on her office door.
She turned around and saw Daphne standing by the door while lowering her hand. “President
Reed, it’s time for your meeting.”
Oh, I still have a meeting. It says that I have a short meeting at 10:30AM on my schedule and I
almost forgot about it.
“Alright. I’ll be there immediately,” Sonia replied with a smile.
After that, she lowered her head and prepared all the things that she needed for the meeting before
heading out of her office.
At 6:00PM, Toby arrived at Paradigm Co. as per their agreed n.
When Sonia received his text, she went to her office balcony to have a look at the roads below.
Her current office was fortunately in the same direction as her previous vice president office, which
was why she could look down from there.
If it wasn’t facing the same direction, she would never have been able to see Toby’s car below.
After making sure that he was indeed waiting for her downstairs, she returned to her office and
grabbed her bag before heading downstairs.
Sonia arrived next to Toby’s car 2 minutester.
Before she could even approach him, the back seat door was opened and he came out of the car.
“Get in.”
“Okay.” She nodded and bent over to sit inside.
Then, he entered the vehicle again and closed the door before ordering Tom to start the engine.
As the car drove away, two suspicious people wearing casual clothes sneaked out from behind a
nearby flower bed.
Judging from their kind of attire, it was obvious that they were the paparazzi.
“Did you get the shot?”
“I got it. I got it. This is going to be huge news.” One of the men held his camera in excitement.
The other man also nodded with exhration. “You’re right. At first, we only wanted to get photos of
Sonia at work so that we can spin a story of her working without any guilt after admitting her own
sister to hospital. I didn’t expect us to be this lucky. I can’t believe we just took photos of her on a
date with the president of the
Fuller Group. Seeing how intimate they are with each other, I''m afraid that their rtionship isn’t that
simple. Maybe they have reconciled.”
