“A perfect chance?” Sonia knitted her eyebrows in confusion. “What are you trying to suggest?”
“Haven’t you always wanted to send Tina to prison? Well, here comes your opportunity. That man is your witness, and I’ve already sent someone after him. After capturing him, he is going to tell us everything Tina told him to do, and that’ll become our evidence to put her behind bars,” Toby answered with a deep voice.
While his goal was always to put Tina in prison, he initially intended to have Tom set Tina up and catch her red-handed. However, Tina, who had been staying in the hospital for the past few days, didn’t go anywhere else, even after returning home. Thus, Tom couldn’t find an opportunity to execute his plan, which was the reason Tina still hadn’t been punished. Therefore, now that an opportunity to gather Tina’s criminal evidence presented itself, Toby wasn’t about to let it slip away.
On the other hand, Sonia’s eyes lit up when she heard Toby’s explanation. Well, this is indeed an opportunity. Tina may be on her probation for now, but if she ever commits a crime, she’ll be sent to prison right away. Although she hasn’t done anything against the law at the moment, she can never get away with the evidence that can prove she is guilty of the crimes she did earlier. “I get you now, President Fuller. Thank you so much.” Sonia smiled gratefully.
“You don’t have to thank me. I’m not just doing this for you, but for myself as well. In fact, I’m trying to atone for the mistakes I made in the past,” Toby looked down and answered.
“President Fuller...” Sonia’s smile faded.
“Alright, Sonia, I have something I must attend to, so I’m going to hang up the call right now. When that man arrives in Seafield, I’ll let you know. Goodbye.” Toby hung up his phone, knowing that Sonia was about to push him away with her disheartening words. Thus, he cut her
short, refusing to hear what she was going to say.
In the meantime, Sonia was staring at the home screen on her phone while raising her eyebrows. After all, that was the first time Toby hung up on her ever since he confessed his love to her. What does he have to hide from me?
Meanwhile, Tom, who was in the ICU, took Toby’s phone and put it on the headboard. “What’s wrong, President Fuller?” Deep down, he was wondering why his boss would hang up the call so abruptly. Why did he hang up in such a hurry ? Man, he looked like he was trying to avoid some loan sharks who were after him for money.
“Nothing.” Toby pursed his lips.
“In that case, perhaps I should return to the office.” Tom wanted to excuse himself.
“Hmm... Yes, please,” Toby replied before his assistant turned around and walked away.
Later that night, Zane returned to Seafield from Norfolk and made his way to the hospital after his touchdown as he learned from Tom that Toby had been hospitalized earlier that day. The moment he saw Toby lying in bed, he placed his hand on his belly and gloated with a loud laugh. “Oh boy! You look so charming in this outfit, Toby! Naha!"
“Shut up!” Toby bellowed as his temples were suddenly covered in veins.
At that moment, Zane faked a few coughs and forced a smile, waving his hand as he replied, “Alright. Alright, I’ll knock it off now, but what happened to you? How did you end up in the hospital?” Although he had asked Tom what happened to Toby earlier that day, he was only given a perfunctory answer without exact details behind Toby’s injury. Thus, he couldn’t help but feel curious about the reason that put Toby in the hospital.
“It was an accident. Alright, let’s talk about business now.” Toby looked down and spoke with a cold voice.
Sensing his reluctance to reveal more about his injury, Zane pursed his lips and answered, “What exactly are you hiding from me? Fine. Fine, have it your way if you don’t want to tell me. I’m not interested in knowing it anyway. By the way, why did you capture one of my men?”
“Your man drugged Sonia, and you’re asking me why?” Toby fixed his eyes on his friend in a cold manner.
“Sonia was drugged? How was that possible?!” Zane was stunned upon hearing that. After all, Sonia hadn’t been to his club for the past few months, so he couldn’t possibly figure out how his employees were able to drug her.
“Not now, but three months ago. It happened on the same day as the incident between me and Sonia took place. Your employee was bribed by Tina to spike Sonia’s drink.” Toby knitted his eyebrows while suppressing his anger.
