Chapter 60
With a faint smile, Sonia answered, “Simple. We’re going to file a police
report!”
Giving her a surprised look, Charles started, “Baby, didn’t you say,”
“Huh?” She gave him a warning glance.
Instantly, he mimed zipping his mouth shut and fell silent.
Only then did she continue, “Since we
both have different opinions and Miss
Gray maintains her innocence while we
believe that she did it on purpose, it’ll
be difficult to determine the truth for
now. If that’s the case, why don’t we let
the police investigate?” .
Noting the intelligent glint in her eyes, Toby knew deep down that she was planning something and that her
motives weren’t pure,
However, before he could warn Tina, the latter spoke up. “Of course.” She was smiling in agreement but laughing at Sonia internally while thinking about how foolish the other woman was for
thinking of making a police report.
Without video evidence, what good will
summoning the police do? Tina laughed to herself.
Meanwhile, Sonia pretended not to see the ridicule in Tina’s eyes and only applauded, a smile on her face. “Very

AI QUAD CAMERA
3419 good! You’ve made the right call, Miss Gray. Charles, since she has agreed, you should call the police and ask them to bring a hypnotist along when
they come to investigate the case.”
Although Charles pulled out his cell phone, he stared at her, confused. “Why would they need to bring a hypnotist along?”
Toby narrowed his eyes and his gaze locked on Sonia’s bright face.
As he expected, she wasn’t simply planning on filing a police report.
Unfortunately, what he failed to foresee
was that the hypnotist was her true
Similarly, Tina was finally realizing the trouble she was in and began to pale bit by bit
When Sonia saw Tina’s expression, the smile on her face became broader. “Of course it’s to find out the truth. I’ve
heard that when dealing with suspects who are reluctant to speak, the police will bring a hypnotist along to hypnotize the suspect so that the suspect will unwittingly admit their
crimes.”
“Of course!” Charles slapped his thighs jovially. “That’s a good idea.”
“But that’s not enough. While she’s
being hypnotized, Charles, remember
to live stream the entire process to the viewers. If it’s ultimately found that it truly was an accident, then we’ll drop the matter and I’ll admit to simply having bad luck. But if it’s found to be
deliberate, well…” At this point, Sonia feigned a confused look at Tina. “What’s the matter, Miss Gray? You’re pale and trembling, and you seem to be
sweating. Are you ill?”
“I bet it’s not illness but guilt!” Charles sneered loudly. “After all, she’ll be forced to admit to her wrongdoing in
just a bit.”
Instead of responding, Tina bit down

AI QUAD CAMERA
on her lip hard, feeling scared and flustered even as she thought about
Q

how much she hated Sonia.
The woman was truly a devil to not
only come up with something so
perverse as hiring a hypnotist but think
of streaming the entire process online as well! How was Sonia any different from a murderer covering up her
crimes?
As tears clouded Tina’s eyes, she
looked beseechingly at the man next to
her. “Toby…”
Tiredly, the man in question pinched
the bridge of his nose.
Perhaps he had done wrong from the
very beginning and shouldn’t have
caved in this morning when she
begged him to help her hide the truth
Perhaps then, things wouldn’t have developed to this point of no return.
Looking at Sonia, he finally said, “Hypnotists and live streams aren’t necessary, Sonia. There’s no need to exacerbate the conflict between the Gray Family and Paradigm Co.”
As if she was suddenly understanding
something, she clenched her fists and
met his gaze emotionlessly. “If you
won’t let me hypnotize Miss Gray or

guilt?
Why else would he stop me?This alone is proof of everything!
“Not only that, baby, but I’m afraid it’s obvious that President Fuller knew the truth from the very beginning and yet, he was helping to conceal it!” Charles sneered with his arms crossed.
“Is that the case?” Sonia questioned as she stared keenly at Toby.
After a long moment of silence, he finally admitted, “Yes.”
“I see. How brilliant!” She clenched her
OO REDMI NOTE 9S
AI QUAD CAMERA
fists even harder, her nails digging into

her palm painfully.
It was painful, but not as painful as the
ache in her heart
After all, this was a man she had loved
for so many years. It amazed her how far he could toss aside his morals for
Tina.
“I finally see what kind of person you are.” Sonia laughed scornfully. “It’s funny how I threw away six years of my youth for a man like you!”
Nonetheless, Toby’s face remained
impassive and unreadable.
Of course, he knew it was wrong to
cover for Tina.
However, he couldn’t bear to watch her rot in prison
In the end, he said in a low voice, “As
long as you drop this matter, I’ll take responsibility for what Tina did to you.”
Instantly, Charles became enraged and
clenched his hand into a fist, aiming for Toby’s face.
Startled, Tina shrieked, “Watch out, Toby!”
“Charles-no!” Sonia also shouted out

C
in time.
12/19 Charles’ fist screeched to a halt an inch before Toby’s face, and the former put
his hand down begrudgingly,
Breathing out a sigh of relief, Sonia regarded Toby attentively. “How are you going to take responsibility, then? And if what you propose doesn’t
satisfy me, I’m not going to agree to it. Charles, please have the following
conversation recorded just in case
President Fuller comes to regret it
later.”
“Of course!” Charles chortled and
turned on his cell phone’s audio
recording function.

Looking very dissatisfied, Tina

protested, “Toby isn’t the type of person to go back on his word, Miss Reed. You look down on us too much.”
Nevertheless, Sonia and Charles both treated her like air and ignored her.
Reddening under the insult, she puffed up. “How dare the both of you,”
“Enough!” Toby lifted a hand to signal her to quiet down. Following that, he looked at Sonia and said, “I’ll cover all your medical fees until you’re fully
recovered. Apart from that, I can give
you one of the Fuller Group’s trade
ports.”
Trade ports?
Stunned, Sonia widened her eyes at him
This is great fortune! She was still thinking about looking for connections after she was done with the Rentoor goods so that she could open a trade
port
Never in a million years did she think that he would offer her one just like that.
Like a fox, she smiled cunningly.
“That’s very magnanimous of you, President Fuller, but I’m afraid that isn’t
enough!”
‘Biting her lip, Tina complained
indignantly, “It’s more than enough, Miss Reed. How can it not be? Aren’t you being a bit too greedy?”
“Hey-watch your tongue! What do you
mean ‘greedy’?” Charles pointed at the bandage on Sonia’s head. “You injured her on purpose or to put it simply, you tried to kill my baby. What’s wrong with us asking for more?”
At the accusation, Tina turned her face
away guiltily and fell silent.
Frowning, Toby asked, “What else do
you want, then?”
“I’ve heard that the Gray Family wants
one of vour plots of land. President
Fuller, and they intend to invest in the development of real estate there. I’ve
also heard that you intend to sell it to
them at a lower price.” Twirling her hair, Sonia continued, “I’ve always sought fairness and since Miss Gray is the actual guilty party here, you shouldn’t be the only one to take responsibility. She should share some of the burden as well and offer up that plot of land.”
Thoroughly nettled, Tina snapped, “No
way!”
That plot of land was Toby’s gift to the
Gray Family for Tina’s betrothal to him.
How could she give it to Sonia?

* “No? Alright, then. Charles, call the
police!” Sonia shot Charles a look.
Instantly, he unlocked his cell phone.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Tina hesitated but Toby spoke up in the end, saying, “Alright. The land is yours.”
“Toby?” Tina caught hold of his sleeve.
Gently, he patted the back of her hand
and reassured her, “It’s okay. I still have a plot of land in Berthull. It’s a little
smaller, but it should suit your dad just
fine.” Following that, he turned back to
Sonia and gave her a cold look. “When
OO REDMI NOTE 9S

we get back to Seafield, I’ll have
someone send you the land deed. I
hope you’ll keep your promise too and not cause any trouble for Tina.”
