Titus had long suspected Sonia to be a part of this. First, Henry Reed killed his elder daughter more than 20 years ago, and then his daughter went on to ruin his second daughter, and now the opportunity for her to marry into the Fuller family was completely gone. He would never forgive himself if he didn’t ruin and burn the Reed family to the ground.
Hearing how Titus had agreed to avenge her, Tina put on a slight smile. In the next second, after recalling something else, she turned to Julia and asked, “Oh, by the way, Mom. How did you find me?”
Those six men humiliated her so cruelly that she passed out in the middle of it all, so she didn’t know what happened next.
“Actually... we didn't find you. A passerby found you in the downtown area,” Julia shook her head and replied.
As soon as she said that, Tina’s pupils contracted, and a great anxiety rose in her heart. “Downtown area?”
Julia nodded with red eyes. “Yes. You were put into a sack naked that night and left in the downtown area—it was a passerby who looked in it out of curiosity and found you before they called the police.”
“They called the police!” When Tina heard those words, her eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted again.
Her fingernails dug into the palms of her hands in anger, causing her palms to be torn apart by her nails, streaming bright red blood. However, she didn't seem to feel the pain, and instead said fiercely, “Do you mean that I was exposed, and
now everyone knows that I was r*ped?!”
Although Julia wanted to tell her a white lie, she knew that it would not hold. As long as Tina went online, she would find out that she was lying anyway. Therefore, it was better to admit to it directly.
“Yes.” Julia nodded sadly.
Titus patted Julia on the shoulder, expressing comfort.
“How could this happen to me...” Tina felt lightheaded, as if her whole world had collapsed. Everyone knew she was r*ped. She could even imagine clearly how the netizens on the internet would talk about her, the way everyone in her social circle would laugh at her, and how the media would use her to gain exposure!
“What about Toby? Does he know?” Tina then asked again with blood-shot eyes.
Julia turned her head away as she could no longer bear to face Tina.
As she saw her mother behaving this way, her heart turned cold. “Toby... knows...?”
At this instant, Titus slammed the table angrily. “Not only does he know, he also took the opportunity to terminate the engagement!”
Tina fell speechless. Right now, she could only manage to stare at the ceiling blankly with both her eyes peeled open, as if she had lost her soul —it was a terrifying sight to see.
After a few seconds, she suddenly laughed frantically. Her laughter was filled with grief and anger, and even tears came out. Julia could feel nothing but distress seeing her this way. «-r« --
Tina...
“That’s enough. Tina is obviously not feeling the best now. Let’s give her some time to vent.” Titus grabbed Julia, who wanted to go up to comfort Tina.
Julia had no choice but to nod her head.
Right then, someone knocked on the door of the ward—it was Titus’ assistant.
“President Gray, we found the girl with the special necklace you previously posted about,” the assistant walked in and said hurriedly.
Titus and Julia’s expressions froze simultaneously. Even Tina stopped her maniacal laughter as she nearly choked. Then, she began to cough violently, her face flushed from the coughing. Even so, Titus and Julia didn’t bat an eye at her; they were only staring at the assistant.
