Chapter 60


    With a faint smile, Sonia answered, “Simple. We’re going to file a police


    report!”


    Giving her a surprised look, Charles started, “Baby, didn’t you say,”


    “Huh?” She gave him a warning nce.


    Instantly, he mimed zipping his mouth shut and fell silent.


    Only then did she continue, “Since we


    both have different opinions and Miss

    Gray maintains her innocence while we


    believe that she did it on purpose, it’ll


    be difficult to determine the truth for


    now. If that’s the case, why don’t we let


    the police investigate?” .


    Noting the intelligent glint in her eyes, Toby knew deep down that she was nning something and that


    her


    motives weren’t pure,


    However, before he could warn Tina, thetter spoke up. “Of course.” She was smiling in agreement but


    laughing at Sonia internally while thinking about how foolish the other woman was for


    thinking of making a police report.


    Without video evidence, what good will


    summoning the police do? Tinaughed to herself.


    Meanwhile, Sonia pretended not to see the ridicule in Tina’s eyes and only apuded, a smile on her


    face. “Very

    3419 good! You’ve made the right call, Miss Gray. Charles, since she has agreed, you should call the


    police and ask them to bring a hypnotist along when


    theye to investigate the case.”


    Although Charles pulled out his cell phone, he stared at her, confused. “Why would they need to bring a


    hypnotist along?”


    Toby narrowed his eyes and his gaze locked on Sonia’s bright face.


    As he expected, she wasn’t simply nning on filing a police report.


    Unfortunately, what he failed to foresee


    was that the hypnotist was her true


    Simrly, Tina was finally realizing the trouble she was in and began to pale bit by bit


    When Sonia saw Tina’s expression, the smile on her face became broader. “Of course it’s to find out the


    truth. I’ve


    heard that when dealing with suspects who are reluctant to speak, the police will bring a hypnotist along


    to hypnotize the suspect so that the suspect will unwittingly admit their


    crimes.”


    “Of course!” Charles pped his thighs jovially. “That’s a good idea.”


    “But that’s not enough. While she’s


    being hypnotized, Charles, remember


    to live stream the entire process to the viewers. If it’s ultimately found that it truly was an ident, then


    we’ll drop the matter and I’ll admit to simply having bad luck. But if it’s found to be


    deliberate, well…” At this point, Sonia feigned a confused look at Tina. “What’s the matter, Miss Gray?


    You’re pale and trembling, and you seem to be


    sweating. Are you ill?”


    “I bet it’s not illness but guilt!” Charles sneered loudly. “After all, she’ll be forced to admit to her


    wrongdoing in


    just a bit.”


    Instead of responding, Tina bit down


    O REDMI NOTE 9S


    AI QUAD CAMERA


    on her lip hard, feeling scared and flustered even as she thought about


    Q

    how much she hated Sonia.


    The woman was truly a devil to not


    onlye up with something so


    perverse as hiring a hypnotist but think


    of streaming the entire process online as well! How was Sonia any different from a murderer covering up


    her


    crimes?


    As tears clouded Tina’s eyes, she


    looked beseechingly at the man next to


    her. “Toby…”


    Tiredly, the man in question pinched


    the bridge of his nose.


    Perhaps he had done wrong from the


    very beginning and shouldn’t have


    caved in this morning when she


    begged him to help her hide the truth


    Perhaps then, things wouldn’t have developed to this point of no return.


    Looking at Sonia, he finally said, “Hypnotists and live streams aren’t necessary, Sonia. There’s no need


    to exacerbate the conflict between the Gray Family and Paradigm Co.”


    As if she was suddenly understanding


    something, she clenched her fists and


    met his gaze emotionlessly. “If you


    won’t let me hypnotize Miss Gray or

    Q


    guilt?


    Why else would he stop me?This alone is proof of everything!


    “Not only that, baby, but I’m afraid it’s obvious that President Fuller knew the truth from the very


    beginning and yet, he was helping to conceal it!” Charles sneered with his arms crossed.


    “Is that the case?” Sonia questioned as she stared keenly at Toby.


    After a long moment of silence, he finally admitted, “Yes.”


    “I see. How brilliant!” She clenched her


    OO REDMI NOTE 9S


    AI QUAD CAMERA


    fists even harder, her nails digging into

    her palm painfully.


    It was painful, but not as painful as the


    ache in her heart


    After all, this was a man she had loved


    for so many years. It amazed her how far he could toss aside his morals for


    Tina.


    “I finally see what kind of person you are.” Soniaughed scornfully. “It’s funny how I threw away six


    years of my youth for a man like you!”


    Nheless, Toby’s face remained


    impassive and unreadable.


    Of course, he knew it was wrong to


    cover for Tina.


    However, he couldn’t bear to watch her rot in prison


    In the end, he said in a low voice, “As


    long as you drop this matter, I’ll take responsibility for what Tina did to you.”


    Instantly, Charles became enraged and


    clenched his hand into a fist, aiming for Toby’s face.


    Startled, Tina shrieked, “Watch out, Toby!”


    “Charles-no!” Sonia also shouted out

    in time.


    12/19 Charles’ fist screeched to a halt an inch before Toby’s face, and the former put


    his hand down begrudgingly,


    Breathing out a sigh of relief, Sonia regarded Toby attentively. “How are you going to take responsibility,


    then? And if what you propose doesn’t


    satisfy me, I’m not going to agree to it. Charles, please have the following


    conversation recorded just in case


    President Fulleres to regret it


    “Of course!” Charles chortled and


    turned on his cell phone’s audio


    recording function.

    Looking very dissatisfied, Tina


    13/19


    protested, “Toby isn’t the type of person to go back on his word, Miss Reed. You look down on us too


    much.”


    Nevertheless, Sonia and Charles both treated her like air and ignored her.


    Reddening under the insult, she puffed up. “How dare the both of you,”


    “Enough!” Toby lifted a hand to signal her to quiet down. Following that, he looked at Sonia and said, “I’ll


    cover all your medical fees until you’re fully


    recovered. Apart from that, I can give


    you one of the Fuller Group’s trade


    ports.”


    Trade ports?


    Stunned, Sonia widened her eyes at him


    This is great fortune! She was still thinking about looking for connections after she was done with the


    Rentoor goods so that she could open a trade


    port


    Never in a million years did she think that he would offer her one just like that.


    Like a fox, she smiled cunningly.


    “That’s very magnanimous of you, President Fuller, but I’m afraid that isn’t


    enough!”


    ‘Biting her lip, Tinained


    indignantly, “It’s more than enough, Miss Reed. How can it not be? Aren’t you being a bit too greedy?”


    “Hey-watch your tongue! What do you


    mean ‘greedy’?” Charles pointed at the bandage on Sonia’s head. “You injured her on purpose or to put it


    simply, you tried to kill my baby. What’s wrong with us asking for more?”


    At the usation, Tina turned her face


    away guiltily and fell silent.


    Frowning, Toby asked, “What else do


    you want, then?”


    “I’ve heard that the Gray Family wants


    one of vour plots ofnd. President


    Fuller, and they intend to invest in the development of real estate there. I’ve


    also heard that you intend to sell it to


    them at a lower price.” Twirling her hair, Sonia continued, “I’ve always sought fairness and since Miss


    Gray is the actual guilty party here, you shouldn’t be the only one to take responsibility. She should share


    some of the burden as well and offer up that plot ofnd.”


    Thoroughlytled, Tina snapped, “No


    way!”


    That plot ofnd was Toby’s gift to the


    Gray Family for Tina’s betrothal to him.


    How could she give it to Sonia?


    * “No? Alright, then. Charles, call the


    police!” Sonia shot Charles a look.


    Instantly, he unlocked his cell phone.


    Caught between a rock and a hard ce, Tina hesitated but Toby spoke up in the end, saying, “Alright.


    Thend is yours.”


    “Toby?” Tina caught hold of his sleeve.


    Gently, he patted the back of her hand


    and reassured her, “It’s okay. I still have a plot ofnd in Berthull. It’s a little


    smaller, but it should suit your dad just


    fine.” Following that, he turned back to


    Sonia and gave her a cold look. “When


    we get back to Seafield, I’ll have


    someone send you thend deed. I


    hope you’ll keep your promise too and not cause any trouble for Tina.”
