Toby narrowed his eyes.
As expected...
“Have you found out how Titus and the others got to know that his eldest daughter might still be alive?” Toby looked at Tom and asked.
Tom pushed his glasses up. “Yes. Apparently, Mrs. Gray was in DT Jewelry when she heard the manager talk about a girl with a daughter’s necklace. So, Mrs. Gray guessed that the girl might be her eldest daughter.”
So that’s why.
Back in Rose’s ward, Sonia mentioned that she found the necklace and went to DT jewelry to ask for more information about it.
Julia always wore jewelry by DT jewelry, and in addition with her identity, the store manager would usually personally serve her, so the manager must have seen the necklace on Julia’s neck and decided to tell her about Sonia bringing the daughter’s necklace to the store.
It was just that the manager didn’t tell Julia Sonia’s name, so Julia didn’t know that the person with the daughter’s necklace was Sonia and not her eldest daughter.
It all made sense now.
Toby waved to indicate that Tom was dismissed.
After Tom went out, Toby picked up his phone and sent the findings of their investigation to Sonia.
Sonia was discussing with Charles where they were going to celebrate in the evening when she heard her phone ring, so she quickly put their conversation on hold and brought her phone down to take a look.
Upon seeing that it was a text message from Toby, she pursed her red lips and opened it. ‘Your guess was indeed correct. Titus and the others are looking for Rina.’
Sonia squeezed her palm, then placed the phone back to her ear. “Charles, something came up. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Okay.” Charles didn’t think much of it and simply nodded in agreement.
After hanging up the phone, Sonia replied: ‘How can you be sure?’
At Fuller Group, Toby leaned against the back of his chair, then crossed his fingers on top of his abdomen and stared at the phone on the table.
It had been several minutes since he sent the message to Sonia.
Why hasn’t she replied? Is she busy?
Just as he was mulling it over, his phone notification tone sounded as the screen lit up.
Toby’s profound eyes lit up in an instant, then he separated his hands before moving forward and picking up the phone.
When he saw that it was indeed Sonia’s reply, his thin lips curled up slightly, and he immediately dialed her number.
Sonia was still earnestly waiting for Toby’s reply when her phone suddenly rang. It surprised her so much that she lost her grip, and the phone slipped from her hands.
Fortunately, there was a table below, so the phone didn’t fall to the ground, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, she was going to have to get a new phone again even though she had just changed to the current one.
“Hello?” Sonia said in a slightly unpleasant tone.
Hearing the anger in her voice, Toby raised an eyebrow.
Did I anger her?
Without thinking much about it, Toby’s thin lips moved. “I asked Tom to look into it.”
He then told her about everything Tom had discovered.
After she was done listening, Sonia suddenly lifted her chin. “So that was what happened.”
She assumed that someone had told the Gray family that Rina might still be alive.
She didn’t expect that it was because she left a trace behind when she went to the store to ask about the necklace.
“I see. Thank you for telling me this, President Fuller,” Sonia said.
Toby grunted, then asked, “Are you going to look for Rina?”
“Yes. I still need to determine if she’s really alive.” Sonia nodded.
If Rina was still alive, Sonia figured she would know why her father asked her to look for Rina, but how to find her was still a problem.
Thinking about this, Sonia rubbed her temples, and she sounded a little tired when she spoke.
“President Fuller, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”
Toby’s thin lips moved; he still wanted to talk to her for a little while more.
However, he didn’t know what to say, so he eventually nodded. “Okay.”
After hanging up, Sonia didn’t put down her phone, but sent a message to Zane instead. She asked to meet with him, saying that she had something to tell him.
