This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 1295

Chapter 1295 Begging for Mercy

“Is that so?” Toby did not react much. “Yeah. I heard the girls were properly schooled by their parents.” Tom stole a glance at the rearview mirror. “But I didn’t have the time to check on the situation because I was with you. I got the news from the professional bodyguards we hired. If the bodyguards said it was bad, it must have been serious.”

“The parents are putting on a show for us.” Toby went back to caressing Sonia’s face. “The harder they beat their daughters, the more they could show how determined they are at disciplining their kids. They hope we will feel bad and overlook this incident.”

“Put it bluntly, it is another attempt to gain sympathy.” Tom shrugged. “Ignore them and do what is necessary. Look into these families for any criminal records. If there is, collect the evidence and hand it over to the inspectors—they happen to be investigating Triforce Enterprise recently and will be around for a while,” Toby instructed unemotionally.

Tom nodded and asked, “What if there’s nothing?” “In that case, let’s get their business partners to cancel their partnerships as a warning.” Toby was stern and unyielding.

“Got it,” Tom answered, knowing that Toby was being lenient this time. It made sense to cancel part of the business partnerships if they did not have prior criminal records. The two families should be thankful instead for not having all the partnerships canceled—at least they were spared.

“Judging from the behavior of their children, I do not believe that their families have squeaky clean records,” Toby scoffed. Tom agreed with him and nodded. He asked, “Should we release them home?”

“There’s no point in keeping them under arrest. Send them back but keep an eye on them, in case they are thinking of running away. Once the evidence has been collected, hand it over to the police,” Toby instructed Tom while pulling the jacket on Sonia to keep her warm. Tom answered, “Understood.”

They spent the rest of the trip in silence. Only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard in the car.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Toby’s luxurious penthouse downtown. Tom parked the car and immediately went down to open the car doors for Toby and Sonia.

Toby lifted Sonia in his arms and got out of the car. “Is the place cleaned?”

“Don’t worry! I asked the management to clean the unit from the time we entered the car! They have made the bed too. You can take a rest right away.” Tom closed the car doors behind them. Toby grunted and walked to the elevators with Sonia in his arms while Tom helped to press the button.

Soon, the three of them reached the top floor. Tom keyed in the passcode and opened the heavy metal door for them. “President Fuller, have a good rest with Miss Reed.”

Toby nodded at him. “You should get home and rest too. Before that, please take care of the things I mentioned before.”

“Sure.”

Tom closed the metal door once Toby and Sonia entered the penthouse. He finally let out a relieved sigh and headed to the elevators while being deep in a phone conversation. He seemed to have given out some orders.

The man on the other end nodded at Tom’s instructions. Then, he put down the phone and gestured at someone near him.

“Sir.” Another man swiftly came over. The bodyguard who took the call said, “I got a call from Mr. Brown. He said that President Fuller ordered the release of the people under arrest. We don’t have to guard them anymore, but we have to monitor them secretly. Go open the doors for them.”

“Okay.” The second bodyguard quickly went ahead and opened the door of the private lounge.

Once the door was open, the gloomy air in the room instantly livened.

The two girls—one plump and one skinny—remained on the floor, but the rest of the people in the room perked up and jumped up from the chairs and couches. They barged toward the entrance excitedly.
