Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 60

With a faint smile, Sonia answered, “Simple. We’re going to file a police report!”

Giving her a surprised look, Charles started, “Baby, didn’t you say—”

“Huh?” She gave him a warning glance.

Instantly, he mimed zipping his mouth shut and fell silent.

Only then did she continue, “Since we both have different opinions and Miss Gray maintains her innocence while we believe that she did it on purpose, it’ll be difficult to determine the truth for now. If that’s the case, why don’t we let the police investigate?”

Noting the intelligent glint in her eyes, Toby knew deep down that she was planning

something and that her motives weren’t pure.

However, before he could warn Tina, the latter spoke up. “Of course.” She was smiling in agreement but laughing at Sonia internally while thinking about how foolish the other woman was for thinking of making a police report.

Without video evidence, what good will summoning the police do? Tina laughed to herself.

Meanwhile, Sonia pretended not to see the ridicule in Tina’s eyes and only applauded, a smile on her face. “Very good! You’ve made the right call, Miss Gray. Charles, since she has agreed, you should call the police and ask them to bring a hypnotist along when they come to investigate the case.”

Although Charles pulled out his cell phone, he stared at her, confused. “Why would they need

to bring a hypnotist along?”

Toby narrowed his eyes and his gaze locked on Sonia’s bright face.

As he expected, she wasn’t simply planning on filing a police report.

Unfortunately, what he failed to foresee was that the hypnotist was her true aim.

Similarly, Tina was finally realizing the trouble she was in and began to pale bit by bit.

When Sonia saw Tina’s expression, the smile on her face became broader. “Of course it’s to find out the truth. I’ve heard that when dealing with suspects who are reluctant to speak, the police will bring a hypnotist along to hypnotize the suspect so that the suspect will unwittingly admit their crimes.”

“Of course!” Charles slapped his thighs jovially. “That’s a good idea.”

“But that’s not enough. While she’s being hypnotized, Charles, remember to live stream the entire process to the viewers. If it’s ultimately found that it truly was an accident, then we’ll drop the matter and I’ll admit to simply having bad luck. But if it’s found to be deliberate, well...” At this point, Sonia feigned a confused look at Tina. “What’s the matter, Miss Gray? You’re pale and trembling, and you seem to be sweating. Are you ill?”

“I bet it’s not illness but guilt!” Charles sneered loudly. “After all, she’ll be forced to admit to her wrongdoing in just a bit.”

Instead of responding, Tina bit down on her lip hard, feeling scared and flustered even as she thought about how much she hated Sonia.

The woman was truly a devil to not only come up with something so perverse as hiring a hypnotist but think of streaming the entire process online as well! How was Sonia any different from a murderer covering up her crimes?

As tears clouded Tina’s eyes, she looked beseechingly at the man next to her. “Toby...”

Tiredly, the man in question pinched the bridge of his nose.

Perhaps he had done wrong from the very beginning and shouldn’t have caved in this morning when she begged him to help her hide the truth.

Perhaps then, things wouldn’t have developed to this point of no return.

Looking at Sonia, he finally said, “Hypnotists and live streams aren’t necessary, Sonia. There’s no need to exacerbate the conflict between the Gray Family and Paradigm Co.”

As if she was suddenly understanding something, she clenched her fists and met his gaze emotionlessly. “If you won’t let me hypnotize Miss Gray or live stream it, President Fuller, am I correct in my understanding of her guilt?”

Why else would he stop me?This alone is proof of everything!

“Not only that, baby, but I’m afraid it’s obvious that President Fuller knew the truth from the very beginning and yet, he was helping to conceal it!” Charles sneered with his arms crossed.

“Is that the case?” Sonia questioned as she stared keenly at Toby.

After a long moment of silence, he finally admitted, “Yes.”

“I see. How brilliant!” She clenched her fists even harder, her nails digging into her palm painfully.

It was painful, but not as painful as the ache in her heart.

After all, this was a man she had loved for so many years. It amazed her how far he could toss aside his morals for Tina.
