Tyler wiped off his sweat. “Toby, congratulations on getting out of the depths of misery!” Toby’s thin lips curled up. “Yeah, I know. You have a good game. I’ll hang up first.” Listening to Tyler’s slightly rapid breathing, Toby guessed that he must be playing. During this period of time, the under-17 exhibition match was at fever pitch, and there were two to three games daily, so Tyler probably made this call during the break. Tyler threw his towel aside and hurriedly called out, “Toby, wait! Don’t hang up!” Toby frowned. “Is there anything else?” “It’s not a big deal. I just wanted to ask you about what they’re saying on the Internet… About what happened to Tina, is it true?” Tyler asked curiously.
He had just seen the news on the Internet, but he didn’t read it in detail, so he still didn’t know whether or not it was true. Toby answered, “Yes, it’s true!” “Damn…” Tyler took a deep breath, feeling utterly shocked. But, he quickly calmed down, then curled his lips and said, “Sure enough, if you do bad things, you’ll get retribution. She’s done so many bad things to Sonia, so this is her retribution.” Something flickered across Toby’s eyes. Tyler’s statements reminded him that Tina’s greatest enemy was Sonia, so perhaps this incident had something to do with her. Of course, he didn’t mean that Sonia did it. With her character, even if she retaliated against a person, she would only use legal means instead of using such methods.
However, this wouldn’t necessarily be the case for the people around her. So, is it Charles or Carl? Or is it… Zane? As Toby thought of the way the three people looked at Sonia, his face darkened, and he felt irritated. These three men had thoughts about Sonia that Toby found annoying, and it was indeed possible for them to do such a thing to Tina for her! “Toby? Toby?” Tyler raised his voice and shouted after not hearing Toby’s voice for a long time. Toby’s eyes flashed, and he came back to his senses. “What’s the matter?” “I just asked you something, but you didn’t respond even after I called your name several times. What are you doing?” Tyler pouted and said unhappily. Toby rubbed his temples.
“I was thinking about something. What did you just ask?” “I said, why did you break off your engagement with Tina after you were discharged from the hospital?” Tyler repeated his question. He didn’t believe that it was because Tina was heartless, as his elder brother had said at the press conference. Didn’t Toby already know that Tina is evil? Why didn’t he break off the engagement earlier, but waited until after he got discharged? There must be another reason! He didn’t ask Toby last time, so this time, he must get a clear answer. “You should know that I got together with Tina in the first place because I thought she was my pen pal, right?” Toby said bleakly while staring at the computer screen. Tyler nodded vigorously.
Toby’s expression was dark as he explained, and his voice was filled with resentment for Tina. “I see. So, she peeked at Sonia’s letter… Wait—letter?” At this point, Tyler raised his voice, and his eyes widened as he suddenly remembered something. Three months ago, he saw a lot of letters at Sonia’s place, and the envelopes were all yellowed, showing that they were obviously timeworn. Were those the letters… Gulping, Tyler squeezed the phone with both hands and asked tentatively, “Toby, what were both of your pen names?” “Why are you asking this?” Toby frowned. Tyler stomped his feet. “Hey, Toby, answer me first. It’s important!” Hearing the urgency in his tone, Toby pursed his lips, then slowly uttered two names, “John and Maple!” Tyler’s head shot up, and he sucked in another breath. “It’s really John!” “What do you mean?”
