Chapter 44

Toby slightly moved aside on instinci.

At this moment, the door to the hospital room was pushed open from outside before Jean made her way
into the room with a Thermos flask in her hands. She

was caught by surprise by the scene in front of her but soon beamed at the lovebirds “Oh, it looks like
I’ve come in at the wrong time. I’m sorry for interrupting. Should I go and wait outside for a

moment?” She made a gesture to exit and

retreated a few steps.



Meanwhile, Tina’s face flushed red in

response to Jean’s words and she quickly



released him from her embrace. You

didn’t interrupt anything, Madam White.

Come on in!

“That’s good then I wouldn’t want to intrude.” Jean carried the flask into the room. “I spoke to your mom
on the phone this morning and only found out that you took a fall last night. So, I immediately made you
some soup before coming for a



Visit.”

She then knowingly glanced at Toby. “No wonder there was no news from Toby last night despite him
staying out all night

long. It was because he was here taking

care of you.”

Tina suddenly recalled the text messages

sent by Cynthia last night and she couldn’t

help feeling a burst of anger. However,

Tina managed to hide her emotions well

hefore she mently renlied “Madam White

before she gently replied, “Madam White, don’t blame Toby for it. I was quite scared, so I asked him to
stay here and take care of me.”

“It’s fine. That’s his duty!” Meanwhile, Jean

asked in concern, “Where did you hurt yourself? Does it still hurt?

“My legs are sore, but the doctor

mentioned that it’s fine.”

“Hey, you should be more careful next

time. Here, try some of this soup. This is



quite nutritious and it’s also good for your

complexion.” Jean poured out the soup

from the flask and served it to Tina,

Tina accepted it with a smile. “Thanks, Madam White!”

“If you really want to exp your gratitude, why don’t you try harder and

possible?” Upon saying that Jean winked

at Tina

“Madam White…” Tina lowered her head out while lezing bashful and her face flushed bright red.

Not only was she attractive with a soft

gentle wolce, but the main point was that

her family background was similarly as

strong as the Fullers. Therefore, the

unification of their families would bring

endless benefiis for everyone.

Jean was rather keen for Tina lo marry

Toby as soon as possible since she was

quite pleased with such a soft-spoken and



wealthy prospective daughter-in-law.

Tve been quite taken with you ever since we first met. You have such an inesistible personality!” At the
same time, Jean sneered as she brought up Sonia You’re The complete opposite of Sonia! She was
married to Toby for six years, but no one

“I read about her messy dalliances on the

news earlier this moming! Gosh! Her dad’s

quite a character and now, she’s behaving quite badly. Do you know that she actually

recorded a video clip to defame me? if it

wasn’t for us taking her in for all these

years, perhaps she would be living a life

worse than a pauper! Charles doesn’t have

a good character, but he’s intelligent at

running a business. I really can’t comprehend how Sonia had caught his

eyes. If I was his mom, I wouldn’t accept

such a rainhter-in-law at alli

such a daughter-in-law at all!”

Toby stood in silence by Tina’s bedside

and listenedas Jean had her say Meanwhile, his brows were furrowed and he felt quite uncomfortable.



Indeed, the Reeds had lost their company. but ever since their marriage, Sonia had never requested
anything from him. She had been the perfect, dutiful wife for the

past six years in the Fuller Family.

According to their helper, Sonia had

always gone along with Jean’s words and

rever spoke back to Jean.

it was Jean who went to create a big fuss

at Paradigm Co., but someone who

worked there had filmed the scene on video. Although Toby managed to resolve

the incident by suppressing the incident, Jean had taken offense and blamed Sonia instead.



What so of he did she have wine living

win Mom at home for those suit years?! He

felt a dull ache in his heart upon realizing

that.

“Mom, Sonia and I are divorced. There’s no

point bringing her up.” An annoyed Toby



interrupted Jean’s incessant challer. He

grabbed his jacket on the chair and added with a cold look, “Since you have so much

spare time, why don’t you stay back and

accompany Tina? I’ve to attend to work, so

ITl head back to handle them at the office.”

“Okay, fine. Go ahead.” Upon hearing his words, Jean immediately fell silent and

didntidare la continue her

t

.

Meanwhile, Tinanswered in a gentle manner, “Täby be careful while you’re driving.”

As she watched Toby walking out of the

room, the smile on her face gradually disappeared bit by bit.

It was only at around 3.00PM that Sonia

finally received the other party’s reply of

“okay” after he accepted her payment.

She couldn’t seem to recall how she had

hooked up with that guy, but it seemed like he wasn’t the type to persistently disturb



Ottone in fact, he resembled more of an all person Thar’s quat loan However, there was one more thing
that

had around her suspicion, wo she found

Zane’s number on her contact list and dialed it after some deliberation,

He soon answered with a lazy tone,

“President Reed, what can I do for you7”

“I know that you’re one of the bosses of

Luna Club, so I need a small favor from

you.” Sonia tried to recall the bits and

pieces that she remembered and

mentioned, “Last night, I left the room to

throw up in the bathroom and there was a

waiter who handed me a bottle of water as

he walked past me at the walkway.”

“Huh?” Zane raised his voice. “President

Recd, what do you mean by thal?”



After I drank that bolile of water, I don’t seem to have much recollection of wat happened next.” She
continued, “I know my own alcohol tolcance. Besides, i threw up in the bathroom before that. How could
it be possible for me to completely lose consciousness? I suspect that the bottle

of water was spiked”

“What?l”He raised his brows and felt that

things had taken an interesting twist

Toby had just messaged Zane five minutes

ago and it was only then that he was made

aware of what transpired between Toby and Sonia on the upper floor of the club last night. Furthermore,
Zane had used

that period of time to delete all the security

footjal. And now, she came to him abu iltain same thing Dan’t tell me Toby went to

me me SUE ID win back serwille wid placed something mila the water? Did he direct this scene to save a
dansei in

Meanwhile, Sonia was quite perplexed. Why did you suddenly exclaim?”

“It’s just that I didn’t expect you would

suspect someone of bribing the waiter.”

Zare smile before he continued, “There

are security cameras all over the place and



our wait staff have undergone stringent

background checks before being offered a

position.”

“Please just ask that watter and let me

know if you have any news.” Sonia warned

him to even him from being nr. “Don’t ask too many questions about what you’re not supposed to know!”
She hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

After work she drove back home to

Bayside Residence. As soon as she

stepped out of the elevator, she immediately noticed a youth, who was cläd in school uniform, sitting
cross legged in front of her doorsteps before her brows tightened. Why is this brat here

again?

Tyler heard the footsteps and he lifted his

head to glance at her before hurriedly

getting up from the ground. Then, he

complained, “What time do you finish

work?! It’s already so late. I’ve been sitting

in front of your doorstep for almost half an



head to glance at her before hurriedly getting up from the ground. Then, he complained, “What time do
you finish work?! It’s already so late. I’ve been sitting in front of your doorstep for almost half an hour!”
