Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1326

After Sonia agreed to meet up for dinner later, Zane felt the disappointment in his heart finally dissipating into nothing.

Then, he seemed to recall something and asked, "By the way, on my way back today, I saw an article online stating that the president of your company was arrested. What happened?"

He hadn't had the time to inquire with the police regarding that incident. Neither did he have the chance to read the statement that Paradigm later released.

Therefore, all he knew about the incident was limited to the fact that Asher had been arrested this morning.

"It's like this... Asher has always been dissatisfied with the fact that Paradigm is under my control. As a result, he burned down the newly built factory in a fit of rage." Sonia gave a concise answer.

He clicked his tongue in displeasure. "He has gone insane. I can't believe he committed arson over something like that. There's definitely something wrong with his brain. Oh, right. Were any of your employees at the factory injured?"

Her eyes flashed slightly at the line of question. Still, she remained calm and answered, "No. It was not operating yet, so nobody was at the factory then."

"That's a relief. Do you need my help with Asher's sentence?" he suggested.

Zane had a career in law enforcement. After his return from his latest inspection in the countryside, he was bound to receive a promotion that would allow him to pull some strings in court.

To be honest, Sonia felt tempted when she heard those words. After all, she wanted Asher kept behind bars forever.

However, she eventually squashed that temptation like a bug and reluctantly rejected his offer. "No, thank you. I will let nature run its course."

She did not wish to owe him another favor.

When he heard her reply, he outwardly agreed with her but secretly decided to pull some strings in court anyway.

Besides, it would only take a few words from him.

"Okay, then," Zane replied with a nonchalant shrug.

She yawned. "Hey, Zane, I'm going to hang up now. I just arrived overseas and have been suffering from jetlag, so I'm exhausted right now. Let's chat again later."

He didn't think too deeply about her excuse and nodded in acceptance. "Okay. I won't disturb you any longer. Have a good rest. I will pick you up at the airport when you return."

"Sure," she replied with an awkward twitch of her lips.

After Sonia hung up, she placed her phone beside her pillow and adjusted the blankets around her for a nap.

Her body had yet to recover completely, and she had been awake for a long time. Coupled with her excessive mood swings earlier, she was absolutely dead tired.

Her statement earlier was not just an excuse to end the phone call with Zane.

She genuinely wanted to take a nap.

It was already nighttime when she woke up from her nap.

Needless to say, she could not see, so it was the nurse who told her the time.

The nurse also informed her that Tom had visited her around 6.00PM. She had been sleeping at the time, so he only stayed for a short while before he left to visit Toby instead. He left a message saying that he would visit her again once she was awake.

Sonia ate the food that the nurse brought for her and nodded slightly to indicate that the message was well-received.

After that, the nurse called Tom over.

Tom arrived shortly, and the first words that came out of his mouth as soon as he entered the room were words of concern for her health.

Once Sonia answered that she was feeling better than before, he finally got down to business. "Miss Reed, did the police tell you about Asher's current situation, criminal activities, and motive during the day?"

She nodded as she said lightly, "They did. I've understood the general situation."

"Then, I won't say more." He adjusted his glasses as he continued their discussion, "What I can tell you, Miss Reed, is the current situation at the factory."

"Tell me." She 'stared' at him.

It was only natural for her to wonder about the current condition of the factory.

She poured her blood, sweat, and tears into building that factory. Not only did she run around various places in the country and abroad, but she also waited for a long time before she finally managed to build it from the ground up.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the factory was her baby.

Everything in the factory had probably been destroyed in the fire.
