Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 281

On the other end of the line, a female police officer explained softly, “Well, Ms. Stone, we’ve received a report from Ms. Reed, saying that someone cast a horror image on her floor-to-ceiling window in the middle of the night. Now the person who did that has been arrested and confessed that you had ordered him to do it. So, can I please have your presence at the station nowf

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 naturally not interested in Cynthia, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Cynthia calling out Sonia'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 shook her head vigorously. “No! I won’t!”

After all, she had been detained before, and she hated it. So, she told 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 to come over, that means you are refusing to cooperate in the investigation—do you know that we can arrest you and even detain you for that?”

Upon hearing about the arrest and detention, Cynthia felt a squeeze in her heart. Beads of cold sweat rolled down her forehead, and she held the phone in both hands before nodding repeatedly. “No! Don't arrest me. I-I’ll come right

now.”

“Alright!” The policewoman smiled again. “Then I will be waiting for you here at the police station.”

With that, the policewoman hung up the phone.

Cynthia immediately sank into panic. Despite that, she walked stiffly toward the hospital gate.

Tom, who was standing by the side, squinted at her figure, and finally went in another direction.

“What took you so long to file a prescription?” Toby, who was reading financial reports on his tablet, frowned slightly when he saw Tom entering the 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 of water, 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’s expression sank, and he instantly put the tablet down. Then, he asked with a voice of unabashed concern, “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 probably also there.” “Head to the police station right now!” Toby narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered in a deep voice.

Tom responded and immediately started the car.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the police station.

As soon as Toby got out of the car, he saw Cynthia entering the police station nervously.

Seeing that, he furrowed his eyebrows and dashed over with his long legs.

As soon as he entered, he saw Sonia sitting in the lounge area of the hall with Carl beside her.

Toby pursed his thin lips, obviously feeling very upset.

He found that almost every time he saw her, she was accompanied by a man—it’d be either Carl or Charles. If it weren’t either of them, it’d be Zane.

Do these men really have nothing better to do? Why do they have to linger around her all the time?

Toby walked over with an unhappy expression. Just as he was not far behind them, he saw a policewoman with a panicked-faced Cynthia approaching Sonia and Carl.

Sonia stood up and looked at Cynthia, who was pale as a ghost. “Why did you ask someone to cast a skeleton image on my window?”

“A skeleton image on your window?!” Toby couldn’t help but exclaim as soon as he heard it.

As soon as Sonia heard his voice, she turned her head in surprise. “Why are you here?”

Carl also stood up and calmly moved a step in front of Sonia, as if he wanted to block Sonia to protect her from him.

At the sight, a cold light flashed under Toby’s eyes, and he went straight to Sonia.

This way, 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 Carl upon having that thought.

Seeing that, Carl clenched both his fists, his eyes filled with blood-thirsty madness.

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 could get rid of the feeling that he was a mere shadow of this man.
