Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 819

"Anything strange?" Sonia straightened her back and frowned. "What do you mean?” she asked tentatively.

She couldn't understand why Toby had asked this question.

In the court, Jessica had indeed said something weird to her—she asked if Sonia would like to know who her biological parents were.

Could this be what Toby was referring to?

On the other hand, Toby naturally perceived the doubt in Sonia’s tone too. With downcast eyes, he responded calmly, "I'm asking whether Jessica said nasty things to you or threatened you in court."

"Oh, so this is what you're referring to by 'strange words'." Sonia's knitted brows smoothened as she heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.

She actually thought there was something that he didn't want her to find out.

Toby pressed his lips and said, "Yeah. What else did you think I'm referring to?"

"Nothing. I overthought." Smiling, Sonia waved her hands about and continued, "Of course she said nasty things to me. You knew how much Jessica hates me. How could she possibly not be agitated upon seeing me?"

Toby hummed in response, "That's true. Besides that, did she do anything else to you?"

Sonia shook her head. "Not really. She actually almost dashed over to rough me up, but there were court officers at the scene and she was handcuffed, so I'm very safe." "Good." Toby nodded slightly as he could finally stop worrying.

Although he did not ask Sonia directly whether Jessica told her about her biological parents, he could deduce from the conversation earlier and from Sonia's calm tone that Jessica most likely did not.

If she did tell Sonia about her biological parents, Sonia wouldn't possibly be this calm.

Anyway, Toby was relieved that Jessica did not say it.

He knew the most effective way Jessica could seek revenge against Sonia was to tell her about her biological parents, and by doing so, defeat Sonia's conviction to seek revenge against the Gray Family besides putting her into agony and desperation.

He could prevent Jessica from seeing and keeping in touch with the outsiders when she was in the detention center or prison, but he couldn't stop her from meeting Sonia in court.

As such, in order to prevent Jessica from taking extreme measures to tell Sonia the truth while at the court, Toby had informed the court before this to keep an eye on Jessica so that she could not possibly come into contact with Sonia and mention to Sonia anything about her biological parents.

In fact, Toby was extremely nervous throughout the entire trial today. Because he couldn't head to court and did not know whether the officers there would keep an eye on Jessica as per his instruction, he actually couldn't focus at work today and couldn't help checking the time now and then.

When he thought it was about time for the trial to be over, he quickly called Sonia to check in on her.

If truth be told, he was on pins and needles during the few seconds that Sonia had yet to answer the call. He was worried that Sonia might have been made aware of the matter about her biological parents and was having a breakdown, hence did not answer the phone.

Fortunately, the outcome was not as serious as he had thought.

At this thought, Toby supported his forehead with one hand as his nervous look and stiff mood finally relaxed.

"Alright Toby, I'm going to hang up first. I still have some important stuff to talk to Zane. Don't you have a meeting soon too? I shall not disturb you first. We can talk at night if there's anything else," Saying that, Sonia cast a glance at Zane, who was seated across from her and looking dispirited.

Toby's pupils dilated when he heard Sonia call him 'Toby'. Stirred up, he gulped and exclaimed agitatedly in a hoarse voice, "What did you just call me?"

Sonia actually called Toby by his first name.

Truth was, ever since their divorce, she had always addressed him in a formal and distant way—she would either call him President Fuller or Mr. Fuller.
