Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 27

“Tina, what’s wrong?” Jean asked, as if sensing that there was something off about Tina’s expression.

Tina immediately locked her phone and said softly, “It’s nothing. My mother sent me a message asking when I’m going back. I’ll reply to her later.”

Jean didn’t suspect anything and turned to talk to Toby.

After making sure that Jean wasn’t looking at her, Tina picked up her phone again and read the message her friend had sent her.

This friend of hers was also playing cards at Sakura Heights today. She said that she saw Toby and wanted to say hello, but she saw him chasing after Sonia. Then, the two of them stood by the car and chatted for a long time.

Tina turned off the volume before clicking on the video.

She saw Toby saying something to Sonia, then he picked her up and placed her in the driver’s seat of her car before driving away.

It was just a short ten-second video, but Tina felt chills all over her hands and feet as she held her phone in a firm squeeze.

Aren’t they divorced? Then why did Toby get into Sonia’s car? And why did he lie to me?

Tina remembered that at the banquet that night, Toby seemed to be on her side, but as soon as Sonia made the request, he gave her the Ocean’s Heart because he didn’t want to humiliate Sonia. And today’s video...

Tina felt a sense of panic in her heart. She was afraid that even though Toby and Sonia were divorced, Toby still wasn’t fully hers.

Could it be that she was destined to be unable to keep something she stole?

When Sonia woke up in the hotel, it was already the next morning.

She remembered being caught in the rain last night and catching a cold, but when she woke up, she felt refreshed.

Sonia soon remembered that Toby had driven her back to Bayside Residence yesterday afternoon. While she was still in a muddled state, she felt someone feeding her something...

Was it Toby?

Sonia banished the images from her mind, then quickly washed up before leaving the hotel.

After arriving at the office, Sonia called Daphne. “Dwells’ boss will come to the office to sign the contract later, so get the contract ready.”

Daphne was surprised. “President Reed, you managed to seal the deal with Dwells?”

“Yeah.” Although Sonia didn’t want to admit it, if it hadn’t been for Toby coming to the private room yesterday afternoon, Dwells’ boss wouldn’t have relented and taken on Paradigm Co.’s order.

She owed Toby a favor.

“Okay.” Daphne nodded, then quickly went to prepare the contract.

After taking off her coat, Sonia hung it on the hanger. Just as she was about to sit down and settle the documents Daphne had sent, the phone on her desk rang.

She answered, “Hello?”

“President Reed, a gentleman named Zane wants to see you,” the receptionist reported. “Do you know him?”

Sonia responded, “Send him up.”

Soon, there was a knock on the office door, and the receptionist led a man in.

The man was dressed in comfortable and loose casual clothing; his jet-black hair was thick with the ends slightly curling upward, and his facial features were so perfect that no flaws could be found. He was handsome and carried himself with ease and natural poise.

His narrow eyes swept nonchalantly across the office before finally landing on Sonia.
