NovelEnglishIn the office, Toby tapped his index finger rhythmically on his desk. He seemed to be waiting for
something. After another five minutes or so, Tom came back. “Sir, although there were some obstacles,
I found it in the end.” Toby’s eyelids slowly raised upon hearing Tom’s words. “What obstacles?” “The
surveillance on Yellow Brick Road has long been taped over, and it wasn’t easy to find a surveillance
video from six years ago. But a computer repair guy came and told me that he had it; he said that the
car accident six years ago was very serious, so he saved the file and came to give it to me when he
knew I was looking for the video.” After Tom finished speaking, he looked at Toby carefully. “Ms. Gray’s
car in the video was indeed hit by another blue car. Would you like to watch it?” Sonia drove a blue
Audi back then. “No.” Toby was indifferent, and he continued to order Tom, “Give it to me, and then tell
that person to not go out and talk nonsense.” “Understood.” Tom had been with Toby for many years,

make this a matter public, nor did he want his former wife to go to jail for this. Toby stared at the pen in
his hand, lost in thought. After a while, he picked up his coat and returned to the Fuller’s mansion. As
soon as he arrived in the hall, he heard cheers and laughter coming from inside. Jean and Tina were
talking about something funny, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Even Tyler, who was usually
naughty and mischievous, sat quietly at the side while playing with his mobile phone. Jean noticed
Toby by the door and quickly got up. “Toby, you are back!” Tina also stood up, all gentle and dignified.
Toby nodded and handed the coat to the servant. “What are you laughing so cheerfully about?” Tina
glanced at Jean, pursed her lips, and smiled, “Aunt Jean was telling me about the stories when you
were a kid. They sounded very interesting, so I couldn’t help but laugh.” Jean pretended to be angry.
“Tina, what ‘Aunt Jean’? You are my future daughter-in-law, so you should call me ‘mom’ from now on!”
Tina flushed and looked at Toby shyly. “It’s still too early for that.” “We’re all a family, so don’t you be
shy. Am I right, Toby?” Jean deliberately teased the two of them. Even Tyler, who was on the side,
interjected at the same time, “It seems I can’t be calling her Tina anymore. I have to call her my sister-
in-law instead!” Hearing that, Tina’s face turned even redder. Toby sighed. “Mom, stop teasing Tina.
She’s very thin-skinned.” Jean chuckled. “Oh, look at you, already all protective over your future wife
before she officially joins the family. Okay, fine. I won’t tease the two of you anymore. I will go outside
and chat with the other old ladies.” Tyler also smiled knowingly with an ambiguous wink. “Well, I won’t
stay and be a third-wheel here either.” After they left, only the two of them remained. Tina stepped
forward and held Toby’s hand. She hesitated before she spoke. “Toby, my dad kept asking me about
the car accident recently. Did you tell him anything?” Toby shook his head. “No, I didn’t.” “My father
seems to know that it had something to do with Sonia, but I haven’t told him, though. That’s weird.”

hate her?” “No, I don’t. She is also a pitiful person. She must have loved you very much to have done
such a crazy thing.” Tina was so considerate, which was very comforting to Toby. Toby touched her
hair, his gaze gentle as he glanced at her. “Tina, you are always so kind, just like when you were in
college. I still remember that you mentioned in your letter that you saved a little mouse when you were
young and put it on your bed. And when your father saw it, he almost passed out because of this.”
Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth also twitched. “How interesting.” Tina’s smile froze, but she
quickly cleared up her expression. “Ah, what are you doing, bringing up the past? Those are all
embarrassing histories. By the way, I heard from Tyler that Old Mrs. Fuller has not been in good health
lately. Can I go visit her?” Thinking of his grandmother’s indifference to him, Toby pondered for a
moment. “I will take you tomorrow.” “Sure.” After he went upstairs, Tina took out her mobile phone and
dialed a number. “How’s it going?” “Miss, everything has been settled. What should I do next?” “The
day before the banquet, I want to see this on trending topics.” “Understood.”
