Chapter 1408
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 you
come 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 reallyparable 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?
