Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1235

Deep down, Sonia was a little irritated. "Charles, what are you trying to achieve here? You hate Daphne, don't you? Why would you move her things away? Don't tell me Daphne asked you to do it; she's terrified of you, so she wouldn't even dream of asking you for help. She can ask anyone in my company and does not need to go to you. Even if she did ask you for help and you agreed to it, you could have just sent someone here. Why would you go through the trouble of hiding your subordinate's identity? Charles, what are you thinking of exactly?"

Charles never expected Sonia to recognize the man he sent so easily, so he felt a little surprised.

He thought his subordinate was decent, so how was he discovered?

Well, his subordinate was probably too stupid and accidentally exposed himself.

Charles was pissed.

"Charles, why are you staying silent?" Noticing that Charles had stopped talking, Sonia was a little upset. "Come on, what are you trying to do exactly?"

Charles couldn't possibly say that he did it, for he feared Sonia would suspect Daphne hadn't left the country at all and that he had grounded Daphne instead.

After all, she knew very well that he hated Daphne. If he sent someone to get Daphne's stuff right now, with Sonia's smarts, she would wonder what made him change his mind, and she would figure out that he had grounded Daphne.

As such, he could only send a bodyguard she had rarely seen before. To avoid her suspicions, he even had the bodyguard claim that he was Daphne's neighbor, even asking Daphne's mother to play along.

Daphne's mother only knew that he used to be Daphne's superior, but she didn't know that Daphne was on bad terms with him. After all, neither he nor Daphne could tell her that.

As such, Daphne's mother sincerely believed that Daphne had gone overseas to further her studies. She thought that Daphne had asked her former boss to send someone to collect her things. Yet, she also feared that Daphne's current boss would be pissed about Daphne asking her former boss for help. Perhaps her current boss would even question whether her former boss was more important to her.

Thus, Daphne's mother readily agreed to play along. If someone called and asked about the bodyguard's identity, she would say that he was their neighbor.

He thought that he had set everything up perfectly, and Sonia wouldn't notice anything wrong.

But in the end, he still underestimated Sonia's wits. Sonia managed to figure everything out, and she called him straight away to ask him about it.

What a headache!

Charles rubbed his cheek, then finally sighed and replied, "Since you want to know, I'll tell you. You may not believe it, Sonny, but Daphne did indeed ask for my help."

"What?" Sonia was slightly stunned. "Are you saying that Daphne asked you to help her get her stuff?"

"Yes."

Sonia snorted. "Charles, do you think I'm so easily deceived?"

Charles lowered his head, hiding the emotion in his eyes. "I know you don't believe me, but it's the truth. If you don't believe me, you can just ask Daphne yourself, then you'll know if I'm telling the truth."

Since Charles insisted that she could ask Daphne herself, Sonia wasn't so sure about it anymore.

After some hesitation, she said, "In that case, tell me why she would ask you for help. Even an outsider like me can see what your relationship is like. Logically speaking, Daphne couldn't have come to you. Even if she needed help, she'd come to me first, her colleagues, or her mother. She couldn't possibly have asked you for help."

When Charles heard Sonia say that, he felt upset somehow.

What did she mean by Daphne not possibly asking for my help?

What's so bad about me?
