Chapter 74
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 74 Toby shook his head. âI wasnât trying to stand up for her. I was merely stating the truth.â
âBut-â Julia sounded unconvinced.
However, Tina tugged on her sleeve while putting up a tough front. âItâs fine, Mom. I suppose Miss Reed isnât a suspect if Toby doesnât think so.â
Toby frowned at Tinaâs statement. Even though he could sense that something was off, he couldnât put a finger on it. At the side, Julia glared at him in anger, having caught on to the underlying implications in Tinaâs statement.
Tina already told us that she heard the kidnapper mention that it was Sonia who ordered Fox Eyes to seek revenge against Tina. Yet, he had the audacity to hurt Tina by standing up for Sonia. Tina even ended up defending him!
All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door of the ward. It was Tom standing at the doorway. âPresident Fuller.â
âWhat is it?â Toby opened his mouth to speak.
After glancing at Tina, Tom said, âInvestigations on Carl Lee have yielded results.â
Toby narrowed his eyes. âWait for me outside.â
âYes, sir.â Tom left after receiving his instructions.
After that, Toby removed his arm from Tinaâs grasp. âI need to leave for a moment, Tina.â
Tina nodded smilingly. âOkay.â
Toby helped her lie down before tucking her in bed. Then, he left the ward. After the door closed behind him, he looked at Tom, who handed him a document. âPresident Fuller, these are documents detailing Carlâs biography. Heâs an orphan who grew up in Jordain County. He only started going to school in his teenage years after Miss Reed and her father became his sponsor. Upon reaching adulthood, he was scouted into the fashion industry as a model because of his outstanding appearance. Considering the above, heâs not Fox Eyes.â
âIs he really not?â Toby frowned.
Tom gave him a nod. âYeah. I already inquired President Gray, who had met Fox Eyes twice. According to his description, Fox Eyes is a top hacker. Carl was never involved in such endeavors. Besides, heâs currently attending a photoshoot on a snow mountain, and has caught a cold, whereas Fox Eyes doesnât have a cold.
Therefore, weâre certain that Carl isnât Fox Eyes. So what should we do now, President Fuller?â Tom looked at Toby After brooding over the situation for a bit, Toby pulled his lips into a thin line before giving instructions.
âInvestigate Soniaâs connections. Fox Eyes must be someone she knows. Find out everything about those people.â
âGot it!â Tom nodded.
âPresident Fuller.â A reserved voice rang behind them. When Toby turned around, he saw Cynthia and Melody walking toward them with flowers in their hands.
âPresident Fuller, is Tina in there?â Cynthia couldnât make eye contact with men, so she hung her head low while explaining timidly, âWe heard Tina fell ill, so we came to visit her.â
âSheâs in the ward.â Toby pointed at the door.
âThank you, President Fuller.â Elated, Cynthia turned her head to face Melody. âMiss Stryder, letâs go inside.â
âSure.â Melody raised her chin arrogantly when she appraised Toby while Cynthia stepped forward to knock on the door.
Back when they were in the private room, she didnât get a good look at him. Now that she could, she determined that he was an outstanding man. His appearance alone was so gorgeous that not even her husband, Peter, could possibly compare to. Thoughts of the man who wanted to divorce her dampened her spirits as she averted her gaze.
âMiss Stryder, Tina is inviting us to go in.â Having opened the door, Cynthia was waving at Melody.
âComing.â Melody answered. After nodding at Toby, she joined Cynthia in strides.
âLetâs go.â Toby tucked the documents that he was holding into Tomâs arms before marching toward the elevator.
Tom followed closely behind Toby. âPresident Fuller, are you not going to keep Miss Gray company?â
âNo, I wonât. Sheâll be fine with her friends,â Toby replied nonchalantly before sending Tina a text to inform her of his departure
When Tina saw the text, she bit her bottom lip, feeling somewhat troubled. She then replied, âAlright!
âWhatâs wrong, Tina?â Noting Tinaâs displeasure, Cynthia inquired after putting the flowers aside.
Tina smiled as she tucked her phone away. âIâm fine. Thanks for visiting me.â
âItâs nothing. Weâre friends after all.â Cynthia waved her hand to dismiss Tinaâs concern.
Meanwhile, Melody was sitting on the chair by the bed with her legs elegantly crossed. âI heard you were kidnapped. What happened?â
Even though the news wasnât made public, the Grays didnât keep the fact that Tina was hospitalized a secret.
Therefore, their associates knew about it, and could easily find out about the reason behind that if they investigated.
Upon hearing that, Cynthiaâs jaw dropped. âYou were kidnapped, Tina? Whoâs behind it?â
Tina teared up, but she forced a smile. âItâs Miss Reedâs suitor. Because I accidentally injured her, so her suitor avenged her by kidnapping me.â
âWhat? This is outrageous! How dare he kidnap you when you didnât do it on purpose?â Cynthiaâs face flushed with anger as she got all self-righteous.
A wistful smile spread across Tinaâs face. âIt might be because he thought I must have injured Miss Reed .
deliberately, so...â She trailed off by that point.
Cynthiaâs chest heaved with rage. âHmph! I bet Sonia had a hand in this! She might even be the one who instigated her suitor to do it!â
âThatâs not the case. Toby said Miss Reed has nothing to do with this.â Tina waved her hand immediately, seemingly fearing that her friends might misunderstand Sonia.
Caressing her chin, Melody muttered, âHow could he be so sure?â
âI donât know. Maybe he asked Miss Reedâ Tina replied in dejection after shaking her head.
With her hands on her waist, Cynthia shot back, âPresident Fuller mustâve been deceived by Sonia. Tina, we canât let things slide like this.â
âBut...â Tina bit on her lip while pretending to feel conflicted.
The sight of it made Cynthia feel sorry for her. âYou donât need to hesitate. Not only did Sonia bully you, but she even had someone kidnap you. She must be capable of even more atrocities. Thus, we need to teach her a lesson so that she knows we arenât pushovers.â
âI can do that,â Melody volunteered aloofly.
Tina looked at her, âWhat are you planning to do, Miss Stryder?â
Melody flicked her red nails. âFrom what I gather, Paradigm Co. has been trying to get a loan from banks. I can pull some strings to stop the cash flow from the banks. Without the capital injection from banks, Paradigm Co.
wonât be able to carry on with its operations.â
As she spoke, she took out her phone to call the presidents of multiple banks. While Cynthia watched in awe, an almost imperceptible smile tugged on Tinaâs lips when she witnessed this.
Meanwhile, Daphne hurried into Soniaâs office in Paradigm Co. âPresident Reed, Iâve got bad news. Something just happened.â
âWhat is it?â Sonia raised her head from behind a stack of documents.
âI got a few calls from the banks. All of them claimed that our company doesnât meet the conditions for their loans, so they refused to lend us any money. A few other banks that already offered us a loan even urged us to return the money, citing an error made during the auditing process,â Daphne reported.
âWhat?â Soniaâs expression changed drastically as she seized the pen in her grip. âHow did it come to this?â
âI donât know either. Seeing that so many banks are acting up together all of a sudden, I bet someone must be trying to give us a hard time,â Daphne surmised as she stared at Sonia.
Almost immediately, a name popped up in Soniaâs mind. âTitus Gray!â
âYou mean Triforce Enterprise is behind this?â
Sonia narrowed her eyes. âI canât think of anybody else other than them.â If Titus is behind this, it must either be because of that plot of land, or because of Tina. It surely has to do with either of these.
SCUS aus âWhat should we do now, President Reed?â Daphne asked.
