Chapter 1308
Is it not hypocritical of him to look at me with disgust while asking about me in an affectionate tone
of voice? If he really loathes me, then he should call me a b*tch or something instead, no? If he
does that, I''ll think more highly of him. "Let''s go. Just ignore him," said Sonia to Toby as she held his
arm.
Toby never intended to pay attention to Asher in the first ce. Upon hearing her words, he nodded
slightly and replied, "Mm-hmm." Then, they walked past Asher and left.
Watching them from behind, Asher narrowed his eyes for a moment before bursting outughing in
excitement.
Seeing himugh like this, his assistant behind him asked in puzzlement, "President Dafoe, have
youe across something that makes you happy?"
Asher turned his wristwatch and replied somewhat meaningfully, "Yeah, it''s a good thing—a very,
very good thing, in fact. My dream wille true after tonight."
"Huh?" The assistant still looked puzzled.
Asher stepped directly into the elevator with no intention of borating on it.
Meanwhile, Sonia closed the door to the passenger seat and lowered her head to fasten her seat
belt in the car.
Toby was fastening his seat belt as well. After she was done buckling up, he finally turned the car
key in the ignition and started the car. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah, I''m ready." Sonia nodded.
Toby released the brakes, and the car started moving forward.
Sonia lowered the car window a little. Suddenly, she said with augh, "A lot of things have
happened today."
Knowing she was referring to the news on the inte, Toby jutted out his chin in agreement.
"There''s a lot indeed."
"How did you know Lte was the mastermind behind the Acree Family''s car ident?" Sonia
asked curiously while turning to look at the man.
Toby frowned. "I didn''t know that at first. I thought the one helping the driver was one of the Acree
Family''s enemies, so I didn''t intend to get involved. I had Tom withdraw our men, but just when they
were withdrawing, one of them spotted the SIM card disposed of by the driver beforehand and
found out that Lte was the one he had contacted."
Sonia was surprised. "That''s a really dramatic turn of events. I guess even God could no longer
bear to see Lte''s behavior, which was why He let your men discover the SIM card to expose
Lte''s wrongdoings."
"You''re right," the man agreed with a smile.
Sonia then pursed her lips for a moment. "Speaking of it, Lte is so wicked at heart. I thought it
was already very malicious of her to plot against my life behind my backst night, but never did I
think she could n a car ident and kill people so calmly and naturally." This woman is really
comparable to Tina. Both of them are crazy women capable of doing anything.
"That''s why she''s destined to spend the rest of her life in prison. It''s even possible that she''ll be
sentenced to death," Toby said while turning the steering wheel.
Sonia let out a sigh. "The Acrees weren''t kind either, but there was no bad blood between them and
Lte, after all. Even so, Lte plotted their car ident just because she wanted to prevent
Miss Acree from showing up in front of you. Speaking of it, it was bad luck for them toe across
her."
"As they say, the biter is sometimes bitten. Now that both the Acrees and Lte have gotten what
they deserved, we don''t have to care about them anymore." Toby turned to nce at her.
Sonia happened to be looking at him as well. "Lte isn''t gonna get out of prison, and it''s a dead
cert that the Lore Family will go bankrupt because of you. I guess it won''t take long before we hear
the news of their bankruptcy. How are you gonna deal with the rest of the family—especially Harry?"
Toby narrowed his eyes and replied with a frosty expression, "Harry had a stroke and is now still
lying unconscious in the hospital and unaware of Lte''s arrest. Lte''s parents weren''t involved
in her wrongdoings, so they''ll be released very soon. They''re not handicapped, so they won''t starve
to death if theirpany goes bankrupt. What''s more, there are other people in the Lore Family.
They''re either living abroad or in other parts of the country, but they''re hurrying to Seafield because
of Harry''s illness this time, and they''ll take care of the three of them. Of course, they can only look
after them until all evidence of Harry murdering Professor Randall has been gathered."
Sonia smiled. "You''re right. So, how''s the gathering of the evidence going?"
Toby''s brows furrowed at the mention of this. "It''s still the same. Harry has long since erased all
traces of it after so many years, so all we could find are just insignificant bits of clues that can''t be
used as conclusive evidence. That''s why I''ve invited Miles Snyder toe to Seafield."
Sonia''s pupils shrank when she heard the man''s name. "You mean the Miles Snyder who helped
Tina hypnotize you?" She had met Miles only once, but he had left a deep impression on her until
now. With long, white hair and extremely beautiful features, the expressionless man had not only
helped Tina before but was also Tim''s senior.
"That''s the one." Toby nodded.
Sonia was puzzled. "Don''t tell me you''re nning to let him hypnotize Harry into making a clean
breast of everything of his own ord?"
Toby exined nomittally, "In reality, hypnosis is prohibited because it can easily destroy a
person''s psyche. That''s why the police normally don''t crack cases using hypnosis except when
they''re dealing with violent and wicked people. Harry''s case isn''t serious to a level where it''s
necessary to hypnotize him intoing clean about his wrongdoings, but I can''t care that much
about it anymore. There''s no knowing how much time he has left after suffering a stroke at his age,
so I have to make him confess to his crimes while he''s still alive and able to move around normally.
Only then can he be convicted under thew. Otherwise, if he''s dead or really paralyzed, even if I
find evidence of his crimes, thew can''t do anything about him, and I''ll be unable to avenge my
professor."
"I see." Sonia nodded as she understood his methods. Extreme times call for extreme measures, of
course. "But there are a lot of hypnotists, of which Tim is one. Why does it have to be Miles Snyder?
He helped Tina before, you know. Won''t you mind that?" she asked while looking at Toby.

Toby lowered his eyes. "Tim is just a dabbler in hypnosis, so there''s no need to ask him for help. As
for Miles, I do haveplicated feelings about him. It''s true that I''m angry at him for working with
Tina to put me under hypnosis. Normally, he''d have also been a target of my revenge, but it doesn''t
help that my current heart was his brother''s. This alone prohibits me from getting back at him. After
all, I owe my life to his brother."
This time, Sonia was at a loss for a reply. Indeed, he owes his life to Quentin. Although Quentin''s
death wasn''t his doing, he was indeed the cause of Quentin''s death. Quentin died because his
heart matched his, so Toby is right that he owes his life to Quentin. "Didn''t we suspect earlier that it
was Tina who plotted Quentin''s car ident? Tina had a crush on you and learned by chance that
his heart matched yours, so she plotted his car ident and gave his heart to you. You''ve been
investigating whether this is true, so how''s the investigation going at the moment?" she asked
curiously.
The man''s thin lipspressed into a thin line as frosty vibes emanated from his every pore. "I''ve
found out almost everything and found the witness at the time over a few months. The truth was
exactly as we guessed it: Tina indeed plotted his car ident."
Sonia let out a gasp of horror. "I already knew the oue, but it inevitably shocks me to hear that
it was confirmed to be true. How could she do that? Quentin had gone out with her for three years!"
She failed toprehend it. Even if Tina took a shine to Toby and no longer had feelings for
Quentin, she and Quentin had at least been in a rtionship, which proved that they once had
feelings for each other. How could she be so cruel to someone whom she once had feelings for? Is
she a devil?
