Walking around with his phone in hand, he muttered, “This is bad. This is bad. Now, Toby must really hate me!” He also regretted not letting Toby read the letter back then. If Toby had read it, Tina wouldn’t have gotten into the picture, and he and Sonia would’ve already remarried. In the end, he had messed everything up! “This won’t do. I have to find a way to fix this.” He pondered a little before giving Sonia a call. “Sonia, help!” Sonia was in the midst of processing documents, so she didn’t look at her phone at all before answering the call.
To her surprise, it was Tyler, and the moment she picked up, he even cried for help. “What’s the matter? Have you been arrested again?” Sonia asked faintly after clamping the phone between her ear and shoulder. Tyler exclaimed, “Bah! Why would I get arrested? Sonia, can’t you expect better of me?” “It’s not that I don’t expect better of you, but you seem like you’re prone to getting arrested,” Sonia answered while signing her name. Tyler’s face flushed. “Sonia, you’re crossing a line!” “Okay, I was just kidding. What’s the matter? I’m still working.” Sonia closed the signed document, placed it aside, then took another document to go through it. Scratching his head, Tyler replied dully, “The thing is, Toby might hate me now!” Immediately afterward, he told her about the letter. After he was done, Sonia’s hand stopped moving.
Only then did she get to know that something like this happened after Tyler took the letter. Seeing as Sonia wasn’t speaking, Tyler became anxious. “Sonia, Toby really hates me now. You must help me!” “I’m sorry, but this is your family’s affair, so I won’t interfere.” With that, Sonia continued to read the documents. Not expecting Sonia to refuse, Tyler blinked in astonishment. “Why? It’s also about you. If it wasn’t because of me—” “Okay, stop talking!” Sonia interrupted him with a slight frown. “I know what you wanted to say. You were going to say that because of you, Toby and I didn’t recognize each other, right?” Tyler nodded repeatedly. “Yes. If I had let Toby read the letter, maybe both of you would have remarried long ago.”
“You’re wrong!” Sonia turned the document, her face blank. “Even if you showed the letter to Toby at that time, he and I wouldn’t have remarried.” “Why?” Tyler asked in surprise. Sonia’s red lips opened slightly, and her voice was cold as she replied, “There’s no actual reason. But, if you really want to know why, it’s because I don’t love him. Why should I remarry a man I don’t love?” After saying that, she hung up the phone. At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. Without lifting her head, she spat out, “Come in!” Daphne placed her hand down and walked in before stopping at her desk.
“President Reed, the police station called just now and asked you to go there. They’ve caught the person who cast the scary image on your floor-to-ceiling window!” Upon hearing this, Sonia suddenly raised her head. “They caught the culprit?” “Yes!” Daphne nodded. Hearing that, Sonia smiled. Since the police station didn’t respond for so long, she thought it was because they didn’t manage to catch the culprit and had secretly closed the case. “I see. I’ll be right there!” Sonia put down her pen, then picked up her bag and walked toward the office door. As soon as she left her office, she saw Carl walking toward her.
“Sonia, are you going out?” Carl asked after seeing the bag on Sonia’s shoulder upon stopping opposite her. Sonia nodded slightly. “Yes. I’m going to the police station.” “The police station?” Carl narrowed his eyes. “Sonia, did something happen?” “It’s not a big deal. They caught the culprit who cast an image of a skeleton on my floor-to-ceiling window in the middle of the night!” Sonia replied concisely. Carl’s face darkened. “Someone cast a skeleton image on your floor-to-ceiling window in the middle of the night?” “That’s right!” “Sonia, why didn’t you tell me about this?”
Carl nodded with a smile. When Sonia turned toward the car window to look at the scenery outside, the smile on Carl’s face disappeared instantly, and his expression twisted with hatred instead. That old man, Gordon Hayes, had abandoned him and his mother back then. Now that he was dying, he had come to look for him again after knowing that his other sons were unreliable. Does he really think he can be at ease after I return?
