Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1378

"But you heard it from Carl Lee. He told you Carl was timid and didn't know how to face you. How could he possibly come forward and ask you?"

Sonia had no words as she wallowed in sadness. He caressed her soft hair. "Don't be sad. Perhaps this is a good ending for him. He had wanted to end his life because he suffered a lot in the past. It's your presence that made him live. He poisoned you because of his one-sided love. You saw him as family. No matter what, you'd never accept his love. Given his gloomy personality, he'd only spend his life in depression and even drive himself to extreme actions. That's why it's good that he vanished and freed himself from his troubled one-sided love."

She closed her eyes. "Carl…"

"Did Carl Lee find you just to tell you that?" he questioned.

Her eyes fluttered open, and she shook her head. "Not only that, he told me that Carl had asked him to agree to something in return for the takeover. He came to me just for this."

"Was the deal related to you?" Toby hit the bull's eye again.

She said, "Yeah. Carl knew that I had been looking for Tina. He asked Carl Lee to find it for me. Since he also shared Carl's hacker skills, he contacted famous hackers around the world to search for Tina, and they succeeded." Then, she took out the USB drive from her bag. "It's all in here."

"Have you checked it out?" He glanced at the USB drive.

She shook her head. "No, I haven't. I was too sad after learning about Carl and wasn't in the mood to check out the contents. I'd look like someone who didn't care about him otherwise."

"It's alright. Let's check it together." He squeezed her hand.

"I'll get the laptop." She went into the study and emerged with a laptop in her arms. He patted the seat beside him, gesturing at her to sit beside him.

She obliged, took off her shoes, and climbed onto the bed. After that, she leaned against him and put the laptop between them.

After connecting the USB drive to the laptop, Toby typed on the keyboard, and a folder popped up on the screen. He clicked on it to find a vast number of photos and information.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the files were organized chronologically. So, he went ahead and click on the first file. There was a photo of a flight ticket from Seafield to Kosovo, and the passenger was listed as Tina Gray. Moreover, the ticket was dated three days after she faked her death.

"So, Tina did go to Kosovo. Melody and Cynthia weren't lying," Sonia remarked and pursed her lips.

Toby silently clicked on the second file, which contained details from a plastic surgery clinic.

She was surprised to see that. "What is this about? Plastic surgery clinic? Did she go for plastic surgery?"

He squinted his eyes. "She knew I wouldn't take much time to find her, given my ability. This was her best choice to hide from me. Plastic surgery was plausible. We were misled from the start because we never considered this possibility. That's why it's hard for us to find her."

"Oh, is that so?" She pursed her lips. "How clever of her."
