Chapter 856 Gown and Suit Cut into Pieces
Though it was already midnight, the lights were still on in the police station.
Sonia and Toby went into the police station with their hands held together. The officer, who had talked to her on the phone, came to usher them to a room as soon as he saw them.
“Miss Reed, your clothes are on the table. Please be mentally prepared before checking it.” The officer sighed as he pointed at the table in the room.
After all, what if she fainted after seeing that the few million worth of clothes had turned into something like that? If the officer was in her shoes, he wouldn’t be able to take it and would fall into a swoon.
The officer’s reminder made her calm heart race in agitation again. Then, she let go of Toby’s hand; she scampered toward the table while Toby followed her at her heels. Meanwhile, the officer followed them behind instead of standing by the door.
Sonia arrived in front of the table and saw the two boxes that contained the clothes. The exquisite box was undamaged. But the things in it might be…
She dared not to think further about it. She pursed her lips and reached out her hand to open one of the boxes.
Her hands were trembling while opening the box as she felt uneasy. Toby noticed it and placed his hands atop hers before giving it a slight squeeze. He reassured her gently, soothingly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m always behind you no matter what happens. Just do whatever you want. I got your back.”
Sonia focused her gaze on him while looking at that faint smile on his face. Though it was a light smile, it instantly soothed her anxious heart with solace.
She told herself, He’s right. No matter what’s in the box, I still have to face it.
Since it was inevitable, there was no need for any hesitation. Things had already happened; she couldn’t change the conditions of the items in the box.
Thus, facing it with equanimity would be better. Besides, regardless of what was in that box, she wasn’t alone as Toby was by her side.
Her tense face finally let out a smile as she thought of him accompanying her. “You’re right. I feel better now.”
With that being said, she took a deep breath and regained her composure. Even her hands weren’t shaking anymore. Despite that, Toby didn’t move his hand away, and they opened the box together.
The moment the box contents were revealed, Sonia’s pupils contracted as her expression fell. Even Toby’s eyes widened in surprise. His face darkened immediately, and he exuded an intimidating aura around him, sending shudders to the officer who was standing right behind him. The petrified officer timidly looked at Toby as it was the officer’s first time encountering someone with such a domineering disposition.
Oh lord, this must be a top dog that manages over a hundred thousand employees. The air around him is indeed different.
Meanwhile, the man in question had no idea that his outpouring aura had terrified the poor officer.
His eyes zeroed in on the blue dress in the box. It had become pieces of cruddy cloth after being cut when he had previously assumed that it would be either ripped or stained with dirty smudges at most. Therefore, he was pretty shocked to see it completely ruined like that.
Of course, other than surprise, the wrath in him was blazing fiercely. It was the same case for Sonia as well.
She had expected the gown to be damaged, but the truth was way more appalling than she had imagined.
