Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 270

“Yes.” May nodded guilty. “I initially didn’t accept her offer as I was conflicted. However, I couldn’t manage to fight my greed in the end.”

“Oh, greed...” Sonia lowered her gaze. Then, she tightened her grip on her phone and roared emotionally, “Did you know that your greed has ruined my relationship and my marriage?!”

“I—I didn’t know...” May was stunned. How could I have ruined Sonia’s relationship and marriage when all I did was make her miss her meeting with her penpal?

On the other hand, Sonia closed her eyes. When she reopened her eyes, she had already gathered her emotions as she pursed her lips. “May, you better watch out!”

After saying that, she hung up the phone and threw her device on her desk. No one could gauge her current expression as her head was lowered.

However, the depressing aura around her revealed how upset she was.

Sonia couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if May never helped Tina back then. Would I have met John if nothing went wrong?

If that was the case, Sonia would have found out that John was her crush, Toby, and he would have known that she was the person whom he had been in love with—Maple.

Would it have meant that they would be together happily?

Still, all of these were just imaginary scenarios. A lot had happened since then and there was no way for Sonia and Toby to return to the past to

change history.

At the thought of that, she massaged her cheeks before she composed herself. Then, she reached out for the landline and summoned Daphne to her office.

“Do you need anything, President Reed?” When Daphne noticed that Sonia’s eyes were red, she asked worriedly, “Have you been crying, President Reed?”

“No!” Sonia’s eyes faltered a little as she lied before she quickly changed the topic. “I want you to head to the investigation firm and investigate someone for me.”

“Go on, President Reed.”

“I need you to investigate a person named May Snyder, who used to be my university coursemate. I want to know where she’s working and who’s her current boss!” Sonia narrowed her eyes slightly before a dark glint flashed past her eyes.

She couldn’t care why May had betrayed her since a betrayal was as such after all and May should be punished for her deeds.

Sonia wanted May to understand the consequences of betraying her!

“Alright.” Daphne nodded and immediately went to work.

At the same time, Tom was driving the Maybach before he glanced at Toby seated behind from the rearview mirror. Although Tom was conflicted, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “President Fuller, have you explained everything to Miss Reed?”

Toby’s eyes glistened slightly before he hummed and looked out from the car window.

Immediately, Tom’s eyes brightened. “Then, did she forgive you?”

“No,” Toby answered as he pursed his lips while Tom almost slammed his foot on the brakes.

“No?! How is that even possible? Why won’t she forgive you when you have already explained that you were her penpal? Didn’t you tell her that you mistook her for Tina?”

“I did, but she was really offended that I couldn’t even recognize her during those six years of marriage,” Toby lowered his gaze and explained.

“I see.” Tom’s lips twitched a little before he added quickly, “I guess I would be offended if I was Miss Reed as well. I wouldn’t mind if you mistook someone else for me in the first place, but I would be pissed that you couldn’t even recognize me after six years. Still, the only reason why you couldn’t recognize Miss Reed was due to the fact that you were hypnotized. If you weren’t, I’m sure you would have realized that Tina was a fake.”

Nevertheless, Toby remained silent and didn’t say anything.

Tom suddenly recalled something before his eyes widened and he asked, “President Fuller, if Miss Reed knew that you couldn’t recognize her because you were hypnotized, why didn’t she—”

“I didn’t tell her that I was hypnotized,” Toby answered lightly.
