Chapter 69

“Tell me! What are your terms for releasing my daughter?” Titus glared at Fox Eyes through the screen.

Fox Eyes set the wine glass he held down. “Don’t you worry. I won’t do

anything to your daughter. As I said, I

only need to teach her a lesson. After she has learned it, I will release her.”

After that, he snapped his fingers. The

masked man beside Tina went to

stand behind her to start groping her.

Tina’s face paled as she shrieked, “Let

me go! Let me go! Don’t touch me! Go

away! Stay away from me! Oh, Toby,

save mel”

Outraged, Toby slammed his fist on the

coffee table as he yelled, “Release

Tina!”

Even though both Julia and Titus were also begging for Fox Eyes to stop, he was unfazed. “Your heartsmust be

aching when you see your daughter and your fiancée being molested. Have you ever considered myfeelings when she did the same to Sonia?”

A ferocious glint fleeted across Fox

Eyes’ gaze. “Carry on, Jumbo!”

“Yes, sir.” Upon receiving his orders, the

masked man got bolder in his actions.

He reached his hands underneath her

clothes to grope her.

“You b*stard!” Toby would kill if he

could, while the Grays were fuming.

Titus fixed his gaze on Fox Eyes. “If you dare do anything to my daughter, 1 swear by my name that I willruin Sonia even if it would cost me my life! I will drag you down with me!”

Instead of lashing out at Titus, Fox

Eyes chuckled. “I never planned to do

anything to your daughter. However,

won’t go soft on her if she dares pull

any tricks on Sonia again in the future. Your family’s downfall will be imminent

before you can even do anything to

He reached his hands underneath her

clothes to grope her.

“You b*stard!” Toby would kill if he

could, while the Grays were fuming.

Titus fixed his gaze on Fox Eyes. “If you dare do anything to my daughter, 1 swear by my name that I willruin Sonia even if it would cost me my life! I will drag you down with me!”

Instead of lashing out at Titus, Fox

Eyes chuckled. “I never planned to do

anything to your daughter. However,

won’t go soft on her if she dares pull

any tricks on Sonia again in the future. Your family’s downfall will be imminent

before you can even do anything to

har Sonia. Don’t try me. You know ! have the ability to do that.”

After that, Fox Eyes cut the call. Then, he typed a line in a window prompt that popped up on thedesktop. ‘Get here within half an hour if you wish to

rescue Tina. I will leave her on the streets naked if you fail to do that.’

At the end of the sentence was an

address, which Toby memorized before wheeling around to leave Gray Mansion. Knowing that he wason his way to rescue Tina, Titus left Julia at home as he followed Toby out.

Half an hour later, they found where

Tina was locked up at. She was in a

warehouse in a deserted industrial

park. When Toby found her, the

masked man was gone, and she was

alone in the warehouse.

Upon noticing that Tina’s cheeks were flushed while she curled in on herself

in the chair with her eyes shut as she

panted, Toby knew she might be

having a fever. His heart sank as he

untied her, and then he took off his

jacket to drape it over her before carrying her in his arms to get her out

of the warehouse.

As soon as they arrived at the

entrance, Titus hurried toward them.

“How’s Tina?”

“She’s running a fever. We need to get her to the hospital right away!” With that, Toby no longer botheredhimself with Titus as he carried Tina into the car. Soon, they arrived at the hospital, and Tina was takeninto the emergency

room.

Meanwhile, after paying the medical

costs, Charles returned to the Surgical

Department with a mysterious look on his face. “Darling, guess what I saw just now?”

Sonia was sitting on the sofa when a

nurse was changing the dressing on

the wound on her head. Since she

couldn’t move, she looked at him from

the corner of her eye. “What did you

see?”

Charles giggled. “I saw Tina being pushed into the emergency room. How are you feeling? Happy?”

Happy, my arse! Sonia rolled her eyes at him before asking curiously, “What happened to her? Why isshe being pushed into the emergency room?”

While caressing his chin, Charles surmised, “I have no idea. But judging from Titus and Toby’sexpressions, bet it’s something severe. Maybe

something happened to Tina during

her disappearance. Darling, should we

go check on the situation?”

“Nah. It’s got nothing to do with us, so let’s stay out of it. We might get into more trouble if we go there.”Sonia furrowed her delicate brows as she

spoke.

“You’re right.” Charles nodded.

After Sonia’s injury was tended to, they were ready to leave, but a deep voice detained them as soon asthey arrived

at the lobby. “Sonia!”

The person who called out to them was none other than Toby. When Sonia

stopped in her tracks to turn around, he

was walking toward her from the

cashier with a receipt in hand. He

came to a halt when he was two steps

away from her.

“Do you need anything from me at this hour, President Fuller?” Sonia studied him smilingly.

Meanwhile, Charles checked the time

on his watch impatiently. “Spill

whatever you have to say. It’s already

past ten, so we need to go get some

rest.”

Toby frowned when he heard that, and his expression turned even more

sullen. “Tell me, how many people have

you spoken to about what Tina did to

you, and who are they respectively?”

Since Fox Eyes kidnapped Tina for

Sonia’s sake, Toby figured he could get some leads to replace Fox Eyes by investigating Sonia

“Why do you ask?” Sonia stared at him

skeptically.

Instead of answering her question,

Toby pressed on, “Answer me!”

“Hey.” Charles stepped forth to shield

Sonia behind him. “President Fuller,

aren’t you holding double standards by requesting for answers from my darling without even replying toher

question first?”

Yet, Toby ignored him while glaring at Sonia. The look in his eyes stung Sonia as soon as sheunderstood the meaning behind it. After silently clenching her fists, she replied, “Only one person. I toldCarl about it.”

Carl? Toby narrowed his eyes before quickly recalling that Carl was the model who had been followingher around as of late. “What about you?”

Toby shifted his attention to Charles.

Infuriated, Charles huffed a laugh. “Toby, do you think you’re f*cking interrogating criminals? You’rehurling

one question after another. Are you”

“Charles!” Upon noticing the

intimidating aura that Toby emanated,

Sonia gave Charles a tug, “Just answer him.”

Despite Charles’ chagrin, he obeyed Sonia, his tone reluctant. “None. Happy? Let’s go, darling. He’scrazy to be asking these.” With that, he pulled Sonia away from Toby and headed toward the entrance.All the while, Toby watched as they left without making

any effort to block them.

At that moment, Tom came to his side

with his phone. “I finally found you, President Fuller.”

“What is it?” Toby averted his gaze

from the lobby entrance.

“Miss Gray has come out from the

emergency room, and President Gray has requested your presence,” Tom replied.

“Understood.” Toby offered a nonchalant reply before pulling his lips into a thin line. Then, he barked anorder, “Start an investigation on Carl Lee. I want to know if he’s Fox Eyes!”

Although he had only met Carl a few

times, one of the most memorable instances he had of Carl was during

the banquet to celebrate Tina’s recovery, for Carl was gazing at Sonia with a pointed look that expressedhis romantic interest in her. It coincided with how Fox Eyes cared about Sonia Moreover, Sonia only toldCarl about

what Tina did to her, so Toby suspected that Carl and Fox Eyes might be one and the same.

“Got it,” Tom replied solemnly.

Then, Toby turned to head toward the elevator

Meanwhile, Charles was still insulting

Toby nonstop while in the car. Sonia

slapped him on his arm from where she sat on the passenger seat before chiding, “Alright, shut up. Myhead is hurting from all your blabbering.”

Charles did as he was told despite

wearing a pout, while Sonia rubbed her

temple. “You have been complaining
