Chapter 754
Able to empathize with Tom, Toby understood why Tom would feel shocked at the sight of Jessica’s
frightening appearance. At the same time, Jessica could hear the conversation between Tom and
Toby in the detention room. Seeing the fear in Tom’s eyes, Jessica couldn’t help but feel her heart
sinking. After all, she hadn’t washed her face and removed her make-up in days, and herck of
sleep only served to make her look even more emaciated.
Thus, she was aware of how frightening her appearance was but didn’t expect to see someone
exim at the sight of her looks. Deep down, she couldn’t ept the fact that she had be ugly,
especially in front of Toby, whom she considered an outstanding man.
The more she dwelled on that matter, the more she wanted to cover her face to keep anyone from
seeing it. However, she quickly realized her hands were strapped to the armrest and weren’t able to
move at all.
Therefore, she could only keep her head down to avoid their gaze. “Don’t look at me! I said don’t
look!” Shemanded with a maniacal voice, her body shivering like a madwoman as Toby
watched in disgust with a frown on his face.
Then, Tom pointed at her. “President Fuller, do you think she’s gone nuts?”
“Do you think someone as scheming as her would go nuts so easily?” Toby asked his assistant
back coldly.
“Well...” Tom gulped and scratched his head. “I guess you have a point.”

At that moment, the police officer guarding the entrance came over and knocked on the ss with
his baton, warning thedy sternly. “Silence! Open your eyes and look around you! This is not your
home, so shut your mouth up!”
Seeing the police officer’s darkened face, Jessica backed away fearfully and kept quiet. After all,
ever since she was detained a few days ago, she had been tortured by those officers to the point of
traumatization. She seemed to have been conditioned to fear them, knowing about the extreme
measures they would resort to when dealing with criminals. Thus, she didn’t dare to mess with
those officers.
As soon as Jessica kept her mouth shut, the police officer put away his baton and turned around to
Toby with a polite smile. “Please carry on with your conversation, President Fuller.”
“Sure.” Toby nodded, replying with an affirmative hum.
After the officer tipped his hat and walked out of the ce, the detention room was left with Toby
and the other two in it. Then, Toby took a step forward and walked closer to the ss, staring at the
lady with his cold gaze. “Why did you want to meet me?”
Upon hearing the man’s question, Jessica looked up in fear but immediately kept her head down for
the next second like a frightened rabbit.
Meanwhile, Tom began to run out of patience at the sight of Jessica’s expression, frowning in
frustration. “Hey, what’s that supposed to mean? You’re acting like President Fuller is going to bite
you.”
Well, I think President Fuller would rather ‘bite’ Miss Reed, in fact. That’ll never happen to you,dy.
“Alright, that’s it. I don’t want to see her face any longer either, anyway.” Toby pursed his lips,
speaking with a bitter voice.
Jessica squinted in anger, feeling insulted upon hearing Toby’s words. Although she knew Toby
didn’t like her, she was unhappy that he didn’t treat her with the chivalry and decency she deserved
as ady. On the inside, she believed Toby was aware of her feelings for him and was convinced
that the reason she kept her head down was to prevent him from seeing her ugly face.
He knows how I feel, yet he still says all those mean things to hurt me. At the thought of that,
Jessica looked up and red at Toby like he was her unfaithful lover who wronged her.
While Toby appeared rather calm, Tom felt so disgusted that he was starting to have goosebumps
running all over his body. What’s that look supposed to mean,dy''?It’s disgusting! “Mr. Fuller.”
Jessica sat straight in the interrogation chair, taking a deep breath as she set her enchanted eyes
on the rich and handsome man like he was an angel who cast a spell on her. “Mr. Fuller, the reason
why I sent for you is that I want you to get me out of here. With your power and status, I believe
that’s not something very hard to pull off.”
“Excuse me. Did you just say that you want me to get you out of here?” Toby raised his eyebrows.
“That’s right!” Jessica nodded in a serious manner.
At that instant, Toby looked at thedy with a strange gaze, having a weird feeling as if he knew
nothing about thedy at all.
On the other hand, Tom dramatically eximed, “Jeez! Am I overreacting, or are you out of your
mind? You’re telling President Fuller to get you out of detention, aren’t you? You probably need to
get your brain checked, Jessica. Don’t you know about the rtionship between President Fuller
and Miss Reed? You’re enemies with Miss Reed, so that makes you the enemy of President Fuller
as well. So, why do you still have the cheek to demand President Fuller help you get out of trouble?
Unless he is out of his mind, President Fuller will never
break up with Miss Reed and agree to help you. Besides.” He paused and smirked. “Even if
President Fuller and Miss Reed didn’t know each other, he has no reason to save you from your
trouble. Who are you, after all?”
Upon hearing the man’s mean reply, Jessica reacted with a twisted expression on her face shortly
before she returned to normal. She then fixed her gaze on Toby’s conceited look and said, “I may be
a nobody to Mr. Fuller, but I’m sure you will promise to get me out of this ce.”
“Why are you so sure?” Tom furrowed his eyebrows while Toby squinted skeptically.
“Because I know a little secret that is about Sonia.” Acent look slowly began to show on
Jessica’s face.
“Really? A secret about Sonia?” Toby squinted even more.
“That’s right.” Jessica’s eyes were filled with craze and madness. “I discovered Sonia’s actual
identity.”
Tom rolled his eyes upward in response when he heard those words. “Oh, jeez! And here I thought
it was something else big and dramatic. Didn''t you already know Miss Reed’s actual identity long
ago? What else is there besides the fact that she is not the Reed Family’s biological daughter? You
even tried to spread it on the inte but failed to seed in the end, yet you’re now nning to
use the same old trick twice, aren’t you?”
While Toby remained quiet with his head kept down in a broody manner, Jessica unhappily gawked
at Tom. “Don’t worry. I’m no fool. Of course, I’m not going to use the same old trick twice. It’s no
longer useful anymore, after all. Instead, I mean I’ve discovered whose biological daughter Sonia is
when I mention her actual identity.”
Toby immediately looked up, radiating an intimidating aura upon hearing that as Tom’s face
changed. “What did you say?”
“I said I know who Sonia’s biological parents are.” Jessica felt gleeful upon witnessing the two
men’s reaction,ughing maniacally.
Unsure whether Jessica was telling the truth, Tom decided to sound her out for Toby. “Why should
we believe that you know who her real parents are? You could be lying.”
“There is no reason for me to lie because I’m counting on this secret to get me out of here,” Jessica
answered with a cold grunt.
A cial look shed across Toby’s face shortly before it disappeared. He then asked with a cold
voice, “So, you’re saying you want me to get you out of here in exchange for the secret that will
reveal who Sonia’s biological parents are?”
“That’s right!” Jessica jutted her chin.
Meanwhile, Tom couldn’t stand the smug expression on Jessica’s face, feeling annoyed to see her
acting as if she had everything under control, but when he was about to say something, Toby raised
his hand as a gesture to tell him to keep quiet. Therefore, Tom reluctantly remained silent as he was
told and said nothing more. Soon, Toby fixed his gaze on Jessica, his eyes filled with unfathomable
emotions. “What makes you think I’ll get you out of here right after you tell me who Sonia’s parents
are? Moreover, do you think you’re in a position to make deals?” Although he had no idea whether
Jessica was aware that the couple from the Gray Family was, in fact, Sonia’s biological parents, he
decided to seize the opportunity and sound her out.
