Toby received a text message on his phone. The content of the text message was...
"Mr. Toby, I know where your son is. If you want to know, come here."
After that was the address and room number of a hotel.
Seeing this message, Toby stood up in excitement.
Unfortunately, the person who sent the message hid his number, and Toby couldn't call him to confirm it.
However, it was the news about his son. Toby didn't even think much about it. And he left the company directly and
headed to the hotel.
Originally, Toby had to deal with a big case of the Munn Group and he might stay in the company all night. But ... no
matter how big the case was, it was not as important as his own son.
The hotel was only a twenty-minute drive away from the Munn Group. Toby arrived at the hotel very quickly.
At the hotel counter, Toby reported his name. The receptionist handed a room card to him. He took the room card
excitedly and walked to the room.
Just as Toby came out of the elevator, Zoe happened to enter one of the hotel rooms.
As soon as Zoe closed the door, Toby opened the door of the next door with the room card in his hand.
Upon entering the room, Toby closed the door and said cautiously, "I'm Toby. I'm here. Who are you?"
It was quiet in the room.
Toby walked into the living room of the suite, puzzled. There was only a black instrument in the living room.
There was also a card next to the instrument, and under the card was a piece of paper.

The paper read, "This card could open the door of the next room 1605."
'What does it mean? Is the person in room 1605 next door?
Since he is in the next room, why does he lead me to this room?'
Just as Toby was wondering, a voice suddenly came from the black instrument in front of him.
"Neil, didn't I tell you? Don't call me. My husband might go home at any time tonight!"
Toby had heard the voice for more than twenty years, and he was familiar with it. Wasn't that the voice of Zoe?
Another male voice was heard from the instrument.
"In the past, when your husband was at home, we had also been together!"
Toby's expression changed.
The conversation continued to spread.
"Your body is sticky. Don't touch me!"
"In the past, when I sweated a lot more than now, didn't you still shamelessly pester me to ask for more? Now you
are being pretentious."
"I just bought these clothes today. I can't dirty them."
"It's just a dress."
"It's different. Toby took me to buy it this afternoon. If it's dirty, he may find something."
"That old bastard again."
In the next room, Zoe was sitting by the bed with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Stop cursing." Zoe asked with a serious expression, "You told me over the phone that you have something
important to discuss with me. What is it?"
Neil said with a smile, "I've been in a bit of trouble recently. I'm short of money."
Zoe frowned. "Short of money? What is going on?"
"I hit a person accidentally before. He is the son of the Mcclain family. Coincidentally, the place where I hit him was
near my factory. Now, they threatened me to expose the fact that my factory's pollutants were violating the rules.
If I don't compensate him 100 million, they will sue me in the Procuratorate. I only have 50 million now, and I need
50 million more."
"What? 50 million?" Zoe was so shocked that her eyes widened. "I don't have so much money!"
Neil looked at her shrewdly. "You don't have money, but your husband, that old bastard, is rich."
"But 50 million is too much. I have used the money of the Munn Group once this month. If I use such a large sum of
money again, Toby will certainly know it."
Neil's face darkened.
"What do you mean? Do you want to watch me be caught in prison?"
"Didn't your factory make a lot of money recently? You should raise the 50 million without difficulty."
"Lost."
Zoe was furious. "You went to gamble again."

Neil looked at Zoe impatiently. "Just tell me one thing. Are you going to give 50 million or not?"
Zoe gritted her teeth. "I can't take out this money for the time being. If I really used so much money, Toby would
definitely suspect me."
Neil hugged Zoe and comforted her, "Darling, are you going to watch me be in prison? We have been together for
so many years. I haven't married yet because of you. I love you so much. You will save me, right?"
"But..."
"If you can't give it to me, I can only ask Mr. Toby for it!" Neil suddenly said.
"How dare you!" Zoe glared at Neil angrily.
Neil hugged Zoe and said with a smile, "I don't dare to. But, Zoe, I have nowhere to go. Only you can save me."
Zoe knew that if she did not give him the money, Neil might have gone to look for Toby.
She replied in a frustrated tone, "Alright. I will give you the money, but I won't do it next time."
"I know you are the best to me."
Zoe pushed him in disgust. "Wait a minute. Go take a shower first."
"No!"
The conversation made Toby tremble violently. He felt extremely humiliated because of the familiar voice.
Looking at the room card and paper on the table, Toby directly picked them up. He rushed out of the room and
walked towards the next room.
He opened the door easily with the card.
Toby walked into the room directly.
Neil and Zoe thought that no one would enter, so they did not notice that someone had barged into the room.
Out of the corner of her eyes, Zoe suddenly saw a familiar figure at the door of the room. She was so scared that
she suddenly pushed Neil away.
