Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 857

Chapter 857 Desperate Measures

“Are you sure?” asked Toby.

Sonia locked eyes with him before nodding. “Yes, it’s definitely her.”

“Who?” he questioned again.

Her hands were tightly clenched into fists. “It’s Anya Steinfield.”

“Her?” He was confounded as he had not expected her to suspect that woman.

It wasn’t that Toby didn’t believe in Sonia, but it was because he previously had done a background check on Anya, who was just an ordinary orphan.

Was Anya fearless enough to commit a crime? Didn’t she know what kind of repercussions awaited her once he got to the bottom of it?

“It must be her!” Ire filled Sonia’s eyes. “Actually, Anya and I were in the store. She liked my dress and wanted it. She even asked me to let her have it, but I didn’t. She must be holding a grudge about it and then ordered someone to snatch it, so I can’t have it either. Above all, she mentioned something about me dreaming of getting the dress that she couldn’t have. So, she did something but failed in the end. That’s why it’s possible that she planned everything that happened after I left the shop.”

“What?” Toby’s face tensed up immediately as he grabbed Sonia’s shoulders to gaze at her from head to toe. “She picked on you in the store? Why didn’t you tell me?”

When she was still in the store, he gave her a call and even texted her! Yet, she had not texted a word about her being bullied. He was greatly upset about this.

After looking at his displeased visage, she had a pretty good sense of what was going on in his mind and let out a gentle smile while assuring him, “Didn’t I tell you that she’s just a small fry to me? I can deal with her with ease. She said she wouldn’t let me off, but she failed. Instead, I made fun of her. I didn’t inform you of anything because I’m completely fine. It’ll make me seem useless if I have to let you know about such a trivial matter. Besides, you’re busy. I will never want to bother you with such trivial matters. Do you understand?”

Toby lowered his gaze to the ground without uttering a word. He got it, but he couldn’t help feeling upset.

Sonia sighed before holding his hand and placing it on her cheek to nuzzle it against his palm.

Only then did he smile and clear his throat. “I got it.”

So, he needs some comfort at times like this. What a ‘cold’ guy. Sonia shook her head helplessly.

Meanwhile, the officer behind them had witnessed the entirety of their affections and rolled his eyes. Excuse me, but it’s a serious matter we’re talking about here. Behave, please.

However, he dared not blurt it out or bother the couple. Knowing that it was crunch time, they did not cross the line either. So, they got serious again after the short affectionate moment.

Sonia put the man’s hand down and said, “Back at the store, she didn’t manage to harm me, but I humiliated her instead. She must be resenting me for that, so it’s her for sure. Besides, the culprit used the dress to get back at me. She’s the only person related to the dress.”

“So, do you know what you should do right now?” Toby looked at the officer with shrewd eyes.

The officer nodded. “Miss Reed has given us a lead. We’ll dispatch someone to call on Miss Steinfeld. The both of you can stay here.”

“No need for that. Please take us to the robber,” urged Toby.

Sonia agreed as well, “Yeah, I wanna see him. I wanna make sure if the culprit is really her.”

The officer nodded as he looked at the resolute couple. “Alright. But he’s tight-lipped. You may come out with nothing.”
