Chapter 59
Stroking his chin, he mused, “Could it be that someone dropped their body wash as they passed by and it spilled
right on your doorstep, and you were
unlucky enough to step in it?”
Narrowing her eyes, she answered, “Maybe, but the chances don’t sound too high.”
“Why do you say so?”
Tilting her head slightly at him, Sonia
answered, “Because I didn’t hear the sound of anything falling while I was taking a bath.”

Which was to say someone stealthily
and deliberately placed the body wash

in front of her door
Instantly, Charles stood up. “Then it has to be Tina. She and Toby are our only two enemies at this resort and since he couldn’t possibly enter the ladies’ room, that leaves only her.”
Sonia’s hand that was resting on the blanket clenched. “You’re right. When
you called me last evening, she happened to be nearby. She must have heard me say that I was hitting the showers and followed me in.”
As Charles’ chest rose and fell
dramatically with rage, he pulled his

cell phone out of his pocket, snarling,
“What a poisonous snake that woman
is! We have to make a police report, We must! We can’t let this go just like that!”
However, Sonia stopped him and she
pointed out, “There’s no use. It’s not like there’s surveillance in the shower
room. We have no way of proving that
she planted the body wash. Even if tests revealed that the body wash on the floor is the kind she uses, she could lie and say she spilled it by accident. She wouldn’t be found guilty
at all.”
Frowning tightly, he grumbled, “So, if
this isn’t an option, what should we
do?”
After a moment of thought, she
proposed, “Unless we can get a recording of her admitting to deliberately harming me, all of our efforts will amount to nothing.”
“That won’t be easy.” With a sinister
smile, he continued, “But I can have someone threaten her while wearing a wire. She’ll fall for it.”
Sonia’s eyes brightened but right as
she was about to reply, the doorbell
rang.
“Who is it?” Charles grumbled as he
went toward the door.
Upon opening it, he discovered Toby
and Tina standing outside.
“Mr. Lane” Tina greeted with a slight
smile.
Instantly, Charles’ face fell and he asked without ceremony, “What do you
want?”
Meeting his gaze squarely, Toby explained, ‘We’re looking for Sonia. Is she here?”
Given the fact that Charles’ outfit was the same as the previous evening, that proved he spent the night in Sonia’s
room.
At the thought of Charles and Sonia
*alone in a room together, Toby’s gaze
darkened and he felt inexplicably irritated
“Who is it, Charles?” Sonia asked a little weakly from inside the room
Having no intention to lie to her, Charles stared at the couple in front of him and called back in a raised voice, “It’s Miss Gray and President Fuller. They say they’re looking for you.”
The room was silent for a few moments before Sonia finally said, “Let
them in.”
Charles then stepped aside, albeit a
little reluctantly
“Thank you,” Tina said with a smile and
a nod before leading Toby in with her
arm around his
Rolling his eyes, Charles shut the door and followed behind them.
Wearing a loose pair of pajamas, Sonia
was seated against the head of the
bed and her head was bandaged. Her face was pale and she looked extremely fragile.
For some reason, Toby felt his heart
ache faintly at the sight of her. Subconsciously, he gentled his voice and asked, “How are you?”
After giving him a curious look, Sonia

Tina instantly tightened her grip around
his arm
His meaning was that he was asking
With a chuckle, he answered, “Try me!” And then, he acted like he was about to chase after her.
She exchanged glances with Charles.
