Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378 The Secret Behind the Red Mole

Hence, even though Sonia couldn’t see, her ‘gaze’ landed accurately on Alice’s face.

Alice was exhausted, and her head was spinning and pounding, so much so that it felt like it was going to explode. Slumped over the interrogation table, she struggled to lift her eyelids to look at the four people across from her.

She didn’t recognize the three men, but she knew the woman in the wheelchair who had asked her if she was Alice. To be more precise, she had seen her in the picture that that person showed her.

Alice responded in a breathless voice, “I know what you’re here for, but you should just give up. I won’t say anything.”

If she said anything, that person definitely wouldn’t save her son. Her son was the only family she had, and she didn’t want to fail at treating him just because she didn’t have enough money. Hence, she had to save him, even though he didn’t know about her existence.

When Sonia heard Alice’s statement, her delicate eyebrows furrowed. She hadn’t even asked anything, yet this person already refused to talk. This feeling was truly unpleasant.

Squeezing the armrest of the wheelchair, Sonia attempted to suppress her anger before speaking again. “Are you sure you won’t say anything? You have to know that as long as you talk, you’ll get a lighter sentence. If you don’t say anything, you’ll get a heavy sentence.”

“I know, but it doesn’t matter. Whatever it is, I won’t say anything.” Alice forced a bitter and tired smile.

The anger that Sonia had just suppressed rose again, and her head began to feel uncomfortable.

Toby was the first to realize that something wasn’t right with her, so he placed his hand on her shoulder and gave it a light squeeze while saying gently, “That’s enough. Don’t get too emotional. Take a deep breath and control your emotions.”

Sonia was well aware of what would happen if she didn’t calm down, so ignoring the fact that he was touching her, she closed her eyes and took deep breaths.

Charles glared at Toby’s hand, which was still on Sonia’s shoulder. “Hey, Fuller, get your claws away from my darling’s shoulder this instant. Are you trying to take advantage of her?”

He was about to move forward and remove Toby’s hand on his own, but Toby didn’t give him the chance to do that, because the moment he came near, Toby took his hand away. Charles ended up grabbing nothing and nearly fell.

Fortunately, Tom managed to catch him in time, then asked with a smile, “Mr. Lane, are you all right?”

“It’s none of your business.” Charles grunted, then pushed Tom away before going back to stand by Sonia’s side.

Looking at him, Tom shook his head. Mr. Lane really behaves like a wilful child, attacking whoever’s within reach.

Ignoring what was happening between Tom and Charles, Toby narrowed his eyes at Alice. “Are you sure you won’t talk?”

Alice simply buried her head in her hands and stayed silent, her attitude already showing that she wasn’t going to speak.

Toby’s lips curled up coldly. “If you won’t talk, fine. Then your family will—”

“What are you going to do?” No longer able to remain calm, Alice hurriedly raised her head, panic clearly written on her ordinary face.

Even Sonia and Charles looked at Toby in surprise. They never thought that Toby would use Alice’s family to threaten her. Although it was somewhat unethical to do so, they had to admit that this method was the most effective. And judging from Alice’s appearance, it seemed like she was beginning to be afraid.

“What am I going to do? Don’t you already know the answer? You’d better be obedient and spill everything. If you don’t, I’ll deal with your family.” Toby narrowed his eyes, and his voice was as cold as an ice cellar, completely emotionless.

Alice shivered and looked at him as if he was the devil. Extremely satisfied with the look in her eyes, Toby lowered his gaze and asked coldly, “Tell me: why did you attack Sonia?”
