Do I owe her my life? Toby lowered his eyelids to hide the complicated look in his eyes and asked, “On which day 6 years ago did your ex-boyfriend meet with a car accident?”
Although Tina was confused, she did not think much about it and answered honestly, “September 10th.”
His eyes were cold as he replied, “Got it.”
With those enigmatic words, he turned around and entered the car. “Drive!”
Tom, who had been waiting in the driver’s seat for a long time, hurriedly nodded and started the car. Then, she watched the Maybach leave, not understanding what Toby meant. Is he not going to cancel the engagement with me? It seems that the possibility is exceptionally high.
Thus, the weight in Tina’s heart finally lifted.
Next, she needed to deal with Miles. She took out her phone and found the phone number that she had never dialed in 6 years. After a moment of hesitation, she resisted her fear and called the number.
The call was soon connected and his voice came without a trace of emotion. “What do you want?”
She took a deep breath to further suppress her fear and spoke timidly. “Miles, c-can you help me to hypnotize Toby once more? I want him to completely forget about Sonia this time and only have me in his heart!”
6 years ago, she had seen this man hypnotizing a person to become a soulless walking corpse with her own eyes. At that moment, he had left her with a deep fear and she was still frightened of him—even after that period of time. Moreover, she was petrified that he would also hypnotize her into a zombie after he knew about that incident.
“I can’t help you!” He refused outright without any mercy.
Tina’s eyes widened incredulously as her voice rose. “Why?!”
“6 years ago, when my brother asked me to assist you in charming Toby to fall in love with you so that you will be happy, I have already helped you once. This time, I will not help you again and he can no longer be hypnotized again. Otherwise, he will turn into a fool,” Miles coldly replied.
Speechlessness greeted her throat when she heard that. Turn into a fool? How can this happen?
She bit on her thumbnail and reflected on his words. Initially, she fell in love with Toby because he was handsome and he could give her a lifetime of glory and prosperity. If he became a fool, his present status as the head of the family and the company’s chairman would all fall on Tyler’s shoulders. Then, what use was there for her to marry Toby?
It seemed that they really could not hypnotize him again; otherwise, she would gain nothing except a stupid husband.
As she thought about it, Tina forgot her fear and shouted angrily, “Miles, when you hypnotized Toby the first time, I asked how long the hypnosis would last. You told me it is for life, but now, he already knows that he loves Sonia and not me. What does this mean? It means that his hypnosis is removed. Miles, how do you explain this?”
Miles looked at a photo on his desk; it was a picture of a young man with similar features as him and was none other than Quentin.
As he stroked Quentin’s photo, his voice was still icy and flat as he replied, “I did tell you that it is for life, but I also told you that hypnosis is not a spell. There are weaknesses as well. I hypnotized him to make him firmly believe that you are Maple, but once someone tells him otherwise, or he stumbles upon something that reveals the truth, the hypnosis will weaken. He will gradually return to his original self.”
Tina’s mouth opened, but there were no more words that came out because he had indeed warned her on this. So, even if Toby had hypnosis conducted on him, she had always been afraid that he would find out that she was a fake.
“Miles, haven’t you been watching Toby in the dark these 6 years? Do you know how he found out that I’m not Maple? Did someone tell him?” She squeezed her phone tightly and asked through clenched teeth.
If it was someone who told Toby, she would deal with that person!
