Chapter 281 Carl's Mental State,Boss, Your Wife's Asking for A Divorce, Again!

On the other end of the line, a female police officer explained softly, “Well, Ms. Stone, we'vereceived a report from Ms. Reed, saying that someone cast a horror image on her floor-to-ceilingwindow in the middle of the night. Now the person who did that has been arrested and confessedthat you had ordered him to do it. So, can I please have your presence at the station now?”However, her voice in Cynthia's ears only sounded like a messenger from hell.

Her face turned pale as she said in disbelief, “W-What? Sonia called the police?” Tom was naturallynot interested in Cynthia, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Cynthia calling outSonia's name. Hearing that, he subconsciously stopped. “Yes, Ms. Reed has filed a report, so Ms.Stone, please come to the police station right away!” the policewoman said again. Cynthia shookher head vigorously. “No! I won't!” After all, she had been detained before, and she hated it. So, shetold herself that she wouldn't go to the police station no matter what.

However, the policewoman'’s face sank, and her voice turned colder. “Ms. Stone, if you refuse tocome over, that means you are refusing to cooperate in the investigation—do you know that wecan arrest you and even detain you for that?” Upon hearing about the arrest and detention, Cynthiafelt a squeeze in her heart. Beads of cold sweat rolled down her forehead, and she held the phone inboth hands before nodding repeatedly. “No!

Don't arrest me. I-I'll come right now.” “Alright!” The policewoman smiled again. “Then I will bewaiting for you here at the police station.” With that, the policewoman hung up the phone. Cynthiaimmediately sank into panic. Despite that, she walked stiffly toward the hospital gate. Tom, who wasstanding by the side, squinted at her figure, and finally went in another direction. “What took you solong to file a prescription?”

Toby, who was reading financial reports on his tablet, frowned slightly when he saw Tom enteringthe car. Tom only handed him the medicine. “President Fuller, I met Cynthia Stone on my way back.”"So?" Toby answered uninterestedly while scrolling his tablet with his finger. After taking a sip ofwater, Tom explained to Toby what he had witnessed a while ago. “Then I heard her mentioning Ms.Reed while on the phone, saying that Ms. Reed called the police or something.” “What?” Toby'sexpression sank, and he instantly put the tablet down. Then, he asked with a voice of unabashedconcern, “Did something happen to Sonia?” “I haven't heard anything of it.” Tom shook his head.“But I don't think it's a big deal. Cynthia has also gone to the police station. Ms. Reed is probablyalso there.” “Head to the police station right now!”

Toby narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered in a deep voice. Tom responded and immediatelystarted the car. Half an hour later, they arrived at the police station. As soon as Toby got out of thecar, he saw Cynthia entering the police station nervously. Seeing that, he furrowed his eyebrows anddashed over with his long legs. As soon as he entered, he saw Sonia sitting in the lounge area of thehall with Carl beside her. Toby pursed his thin lips, obviously feeling very upset. He found thatalmost every time he saw her, she was accompanied by a man—it'd be either Carl or Charles. If itweren't either of them, it'd be Zane. Do these men really have nothing better to do? Why do theyhave to linger around her all the time?

Toby walked over with an unhappy expression. Just as he was not far behind them, he saw apolicewoman with a panicked-faced Cynthia approaching Sonia and Carl. Sonia stood up andlooked at Cynthia, who was pale as a ghost. “Why did you ask someone to cast a skeleton image onmy window?" “A skeleton image on your window?!” Toby couldn't help but exclaim as soon as heheard it. As soon as Sonia heard his voice, she turned her head in surprise. “Why are you here?” Carlalso stood up and calmly moved a step in front of Sonia, as if he wanted to block Sonia to protecther from him. At the sight, a cold light flashed under Toby's eyes, and he went straight to Sonia. Thisway, Carl couldn't stop him even if he wanted to, unless he pushed him away.

But this was the police station, so he bet Carl wouldn't dare to do that. Toby cast a sneer at Carlupon having that thought. Seeing that, Carl clenched both his fists, his eyes filled with blood-thirstymadness. All he could think of was that he wanted to kill this man—he wanted to kill Toby Fuller!Only in this way could he escape from feeling inferior to him every time he saw him, and he couldget rid of the feeling that he was a mere shadow of this man. Most importantly, this man was still hisbiggest obstacle in his path to get with Sonia! Noticing Carl's offensive gaze, Toby's eyes sank, andthen he looked at Sonia.

Does she know that Carl is not that simple? “President Fuller, what are you looking at me for?”Seeing Toby only staring at her and not speaking, Sonia couldn't help but furrow her beautifulbrows. Toby's eyes flickered, and his thin lips opened. “I heard that you were in the police station, soI came to see you. What's the matter with the skeleton image on your window you mentioned justnow?” When questioning, he shot Cynthia a cold look. Cynthia came into contact with hisemotionless gaze and couldn't help but shiver, whereupon the fear on her face became even moreobvious. Sonia noticed Toby's deterrence against Cynthia, but she didn’t react too much. Instead,she replied faintly, “This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you, so you can just stay outof this.”

Hearing her say this, Carl curled up his thin lips, and his mood improved significantly. Toby, on theother hand, was in a terrible mood. After all, he only came over because he cared about her, but wasinstead treated with this nonchalant attitude. No one would be happy to be treated like that! Sonialooked at Cynthia and spoke again. “You still haven't answered my question just now. Why did youask someone to do something like this?” Cynthia didn't dare to look at her, but her mouth openedwith a guilty conscience. “I... 1..." “Stop stuttering! Just tell the truth!”

Toby frowned impatiently. Sonia rolled her eyes at him. She had told him that this was her business,and he should stay out of it. However, it was as if he couldn't hear a word she said; he even helpedher interrogate the woman at fault! Carl also glanced at Toby coldly while pursing his lips and saidnothing. Only he himself knew what he was suppressing at the moment. Among these people, theperson Cynthia feared the most was Toby. Hearing Toby's words, she shrank even more, not daringto do against what he said. She could only answer honestly, “I-I just wanted to scare you.” “Scareme?”

Sonia obviously didn't buy it. “Is that all?” Cynthia nodded repeatedly. “Yes!” Sonia stared at her fora while and finally confirmed that she wasn't lying, whereupon her face sank. “Why did you do this?I haven't done anything to you recently, have I?” “You did!” As if her emotions had been triggered,Cynthia raised her head suddenly and glared angrily at Sonia. “At the banquet, you embarrassed mein front of so many people. That's why I did this—to avenge myself! I wanted to get even with you!”"Avenge yourself?” Toby spat coldly. “You were embarrassed because you were dumb and had tostand up for Tina unnecessarily.

It had nothing to do with Sonia, so what right do you have to avenge yourself!” Sonia looked at himstrangely. How strange it is for him to speak up for me. It was making her a little uncomfortable!Meanwhile, Carl only lowered his head and said nothing, making it difficult to see his expression."President Fuller, are you... standing up for Sonia?” Cynthia looked at Toby in disbelief, unable toaccept the fact that he actually helped Sonia but not Tina. “She is the one I love, so of course I willstand up for her!” Toby looked back at Sonia with affectionate eyes.

The last thing Sonia would have expected was for Toby to confess his love for her like this in public.After a moment of stunned silence, she subconsciously avoided his gaze and ignored him. Carlclenched his fists tighter, and the hostility in his heart that wanted to raze everything to the groundgrew stronger.

Cynthia was dumbfounded. “Y-You... love Sonia?” She pointed to Toby and Sonia, and finallymanaged to ask loudly, “What about Tina?" “That is my business! It's not your place to ask!” Toby'sface turned gloomy. Cynthia cast a downward gaze, and her voice was no longer as justified andconfident. Instead, it became erratic. “I... I only asked because I care about Tina.”
