Chapter 115

“What?” Sonia was shocked. Although she knew Tina was going to hurt her, she didn’t expect Tina tothreaten to kill her. “You want to kill me?” She tightened her grip around her phone and intentionallyraised her voice.

Toby’s face darkened the moment he heard Sonia’s words. As soon as he alighted from the car, heimmediately scurried toward the building while trying to calm his distraught mind. I can’t believe Tina istrying to kill Sonia!

On the other hand, Tina’s eyes brightened with malicious glee. “Be careful with what you’re saying, MissReed. You will cause your own death in an accident, which I have nothing to do with.”

She slowly walked toward Sonia. In fact, she had never given up on her thought to eliminate Sonia, butever since the incident in the resort, she never found a chance to execute her evil plan until the discoveryof Sonia’s pregnancy had prompted her to do the worst thing. I must get rid of Sonia before everyoneelse replaces out about her pregnancy, or it’s going to be over for me.

Tina soon clamped Sonia’s shoulders with her clutches before she gave a sinister smile and pushedSonia toward the edge of the stairs. As Tina had the upper hand in the battle, Sonia wasn’t fighting backbecause she was in heels and it wasn’t long until she found herself near the edge of the stairs.

“Meet your demise.” Then, Tina pushed Sonia down with all her energy; the impact had sent Soniabackward onto the flight of stairs. At the same time, Tina stood on the top and stared at the horrified lookon Sonia’s face, waving at her and saying, “Farewell!”

Deep in her heart, she believed Sonia would fall to her death, considering the height of the stairs. Even ifSonia didn’t immediately die from the fall, she would make sure Sonia was dead.

When Sonia rolled down the stairs and was about to hit the ground, a silhouette suddenly emerged fromdownstairs to spread his arms to break her fall. However, the huge impact had toppled the man and senthim flying toward the wall, which caused him to hit it hard with his back. As his face twisted in pain with alayer of cold sweat coating his forehead, she suffered from an excruciating pain in her stomach with herlimbs going numb, but fortunately, she survived the fall.

On the other hand, Tina, who was looking forward to witnessing Sonia’s death, stood atop the stairs indisbelief when her wish didn’t come true. What stunned her even more was that Sonia’s lifesaver turnedout to be none other than Toby. The shocking realization instantly caused Tina’s face to pale andrendered her panicky, making her wonder why Toby would show up at that spot.

On the other hand, Toby endured the pain in his back and helped Sonia to her feet.

Then, he painfully asked in a hushed tone, “Are you alright?”

In fact, Sonia was able to tell that her lifesaver was Toby from his perfume when he hugged her in hisembrace to cushion her from the fall. Thus, she didn’t seem to be surprised as she rubbed her belly andshook her head while answering in a trembling voice, “Yeah, I’m fine.”

“Good to hear that.” Toby heaved a sigh of relief, feeling lucky and grateful for being able to prevent atragedy. That was close. Sonia would have lost her life had I failed to show up in time. Despite hissuccessful rescue, he still shuddered at the thought of how

close the tragedy was about to befall her. Thank God I arrived in the nick of time.

“What about you? Are you okay?” Sonia asked while she looked at him in panic. Oh man! He just savedme once again.

Toby slightly avoided her gaze. “I’m good.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Sonia didn’t believe Toby’s answer because she thought she had just heardhis painful moan. It was just that she wasn’t sure about it since she was in extreme fear earlier.

“Yes, I’m sure,” he reassured her, trying to endure the pain in his back.

While the both of them expressed their concerns for each other, Tina cast aside her jealousy and tried tosneak away silently. However, when she was about to reach the door, Toby’s glacial voice was heardfrom behind. “Stay where you are!”

She froze as she subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

“Turn around!” he demanded.

Tina slowly turned with her head down as she lacked the courage to look him in the eye. “Toby-”

“Tina, you have disappointed me!” Toby slowly helped Sonia to walk up the stairs while he fixed his eyeson Tina like a stranger. “I’ve always known you’re not as innocent as you may seem. I thought the mostyou would do is just pull off some mischievous pranks, but I didn’t think you’d even try to kill someone!”

Tina’s eyes dilated in horror as she looked up and tearfully met Toby’s eyes. “Toby, I I didn’t want this tohappen either, but I just can’t help it.”

“You couldn’t help it?” Her words sounded like a joke to Sonia. “If you can’t control your own actions, youwere born to be evil then, Miss Gray.”

“No, that’s not what I meant…” Tina bit her lips, her tears trickling down her cheeks. She then looked atToby. “Toby, I wasn’t born as a bad person but I’m too insecure.”

Nonetheless, Toby didn’t seem to be touched by the woman’s words for some reason. In fact, he evenfelt sarcastic when he heard what Tina told him. “You said the same thing to me when you hurt Sonia the

last time.”

He gazed at her with an unfathomable gaze. In fact, he felt guilty toward her that time, thinking thereason why she would do such a thing was because he hadn’t spent enough time with her. Therefore, hesarcastically laughed at himself for the previous guilt he felt for her.

Meanwhile, Tina sobbed while an awkward expression flashed and disappeared across her face. Then,she looked down and tried to talk her way out of the situation. “Toby, I just feel too insecure to lose you.”

“You said you felt insecure when I was too close with Sonia the last time and I trusted you, but whatabout this time? I’ve already kept a distance from her, so what else are you afraid of?” Toby looked at herwith a piercing gaze.

“I… I..” Tina bit her lips and took a step back as she stammered incoherently because she was too afraidto speak about her fear.

In the meantime, Sonia had rested her hand on her painful stomach with a glacial look on her face. “Fine,President Fuller. It seems that Miss Gray is struggling to prove her point. In that case, I say we shouldinvolve the police since I have the audio recording to prove that she tried to kill me. I think that should beenough to put her behind bars for a good few years.”.

Audio recording? Tina’s expression changed as she looked at Sonia in disbelief. “You

recorded our conversation?”

“Yes, I did.” Sonia flashed her phone in front of Tina. “Your eyes gave your evil intention away when youcame to see me, so did you really think I was going to play along like a dumb slave without a backup

plan?” Although her plan narrowly saved her life, she failed to see through Tina’s murderous intent to killher.

“Toby..” Tina seemed terrified, gazing at Toby with a pale expression while her sympathetic eyes lookedas if they were asking him for help. Nonetheless, he only pursed his lips without saying a single word.

Since she was his lover, he knew he was obligated to save her from the worst outcome, yet he couldn’tthink of a single word to defend her. Furthermore, his conscience kept him from turning a blind eye to herwrongful action, considering the serious mess she had just created.

When Toby remained silent for a few moments, Tina tearfully shook her head in great dismay anddisappointment. He doesn’t want to save me. I can’t believe he isn’t going to save me!

Sonia was also surprised by Toby’s actions as she had always thought he would spoil Tina until the saltwouldn’t save her. Well, I guess I was wrong about him.

At the thought of that, Sonia gazed at him with a complicated look, realizing that there was more aboutthe man than meets the eye even though she thought she knew him.

“President Fuller, since you have no objection, I’ll call the cops now,” she said and reached for herphone.

Since she thought Sonia wasn’t bluffing, Tina desperately came up with a cliché yet effective idea to buyherself some time—’fainting’. As her eyes rolled upward, she collapsed onto the ground, which shockedboth Sonia and Toby.

“Tina.” Toby snapped out of his trance and crouched down to check on Tina’s condition with a concernedlook on his face, whereupon he did all he could to wake her up. Nonetheless, his effort soon proved to befutile when Tina didn’t come to her senses after multiple attempts. As he was distracted by her urgent

condition, he carried her in his arms and told Sonia to put the matter on hold. “We’ll talk about calling thecops after she comes around.”

Nevertheless, Sonia didn’t answer the man’s words. Instead, she squinted and focused all her attentionin observing the lady in Toby’s arms. Tina soon appeared to raise her eyebrow a little, but Sonia wasobservant enough to notice it as her lips curled upward.
