Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 753 A Visit to Jessica

“Sure, you make the call.” Toby opened his eyes slightly, responding with his hoarse voice.

Sonia replied with an affirmative hum and started applying the anti-inflammatory gel to the scratch marks on his

back, during which she inevitably touched the caning scars left on the man’s skin.

Although Toby had already recovered from those wounds, they became horrible-looking scars that looked like

centipedes. In the meantime, Sonia couldn’t help but feel heartbroken at the sight of those scars. Her eyes were

filled with tears all of a sudden. “It must have hurt a lot, right?”

Knowing what the lady was asking, Toby kept his eyes on the white bedsheet he was lying on with a smile. “What’s

done is done, plus I did something terrible, so I deserved to be punished.” The man didn’t answer her question

directly because he didn’t see any meaning in doing so since his wounds had already become scars.

Moreover, he was prevented by his pride as a man to tell her directly that it hurt as it would make him seem

useless, but at the same time, he reckoned it would sound too fake if he told her that it didn’t hurt at all. Therefore,

he decided to be coy in answering her question.

“Something terrible? Why would you beat yourself up for that?” Sonia sniggered, finding Toby’s reply amusing.

Nevertheless, Toby turned around slightly and propped his head. “I wasn’t being dramatic. Back then, I was

hypnotized into doing horrible things, but in hindsight, those were things that I wouldn’t have done if I could act on

my free will. Thus, I wasn’t technically wrong with what I just said.”

Sonia let out a sigh and answered, “This was all Tina’s fault. She was the one who sought help from a hypnotist to

brainwash you.”

“The hypnotist was her then-boyfriend’s brother,” Toby squinted and said.

Sonia nodded. “I know that. Tim spoke to me about that earlier. He even mentioned that your heart was

transplanted from Tina’s then-boyfriend, who was the hypnotist’s brother.”

“That’s right. It belonged to Quentin back then.”

Sonia looked at the man and added, “Tim even said the timing of your heart donor showing up was too much of a

coincidence. After all, the Fuller Family had been searching for the right heart for you, but had no luck for twenty-

four years. Still, just when the golden period for your heart transplant surgery to be carried out was about to come

to an end, Quentin passed away, and it just so happened that his heart was compatible with yours. This obviously

aroused Tim’s suspicion and made him wonder whether Tina was responsible for causing Quentin’s accident.

Besides, he also said you were investigating the matter, so is there any new update about it?”

Toby shook his head with a glacial look. “Nothing much. Quentin’s accident happened six years ago, and the

location it took place was somewhere on the outskirts. There was no surveillance camera nearby, and neither was

there anyone who lived around that area. Therefore, there was no witness who saw what happened at that time.

Because of that, the investigation has become tough.”

“Now that you put it this way, it seems to me that the car accident was no coincidence.” Sonia stroked her chin and

analyzed. “The car accident happened somewhere sparsely populated on the outskirts with no surveillance camera.

Well, it looks pretty obvious that whoever caused the accident didn’t want to alert anyone about it.”

Toby chuckled coldly and replied, “You’re right. That’s why Tina definitely has something to do with Quentin’s death,

but sadly, we don’t know where Tina is. Otherwise, we could just directly interrogate her.”

“You have a point.” Sonia nodded. “I wonder where Tina is hiding to manage to stay away from you for so long,

which I find surprising.”

“Don’t worry. As long as we’re still alive, I’m sure her vengeful nature will prompt her to show up and retaliate one

day,” Toby held Sonia’s hand and said.

Sonia curled her lips and smiled. “I know, which is why I’m not in a hurry to look for Tina at all, but as for Quentin’s

death, have you told the hypnotist about it?”

“Nope, I haven’t.” Toby shook his head. “It’s still not too late to tell Miles about that when we find Tina. By then, we

could even let him do his trick if she refuses to reveal the truth.”

“You’re right. Alright, let go of my hand now. I still need to apply the gel on you.” Sonia changed the subject,

impatiently telling the man to let go of her hand when she felt his strong resistance.

Toby chuckled and let go of her hand. After Sonia had her hands free, she continued to apply the gel on his back.

Soon, Toby put on his shirt and got up from the bed. “I need to go now.”

“Go ahead.” Sonia waved her hand. “You have something to attend to, right? Hurry up before it gets dark.” It’s

already 5.30 PM now.

Toby took a look at the time and realized it was getting a little too late, so he nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll get going

first. I’ll be back when I’m done.” He planted a kiss on her cheek and grabbed his coat before leaving the room.

Sonia rubbed her cheek and smiled, reaching for the gel while taking off her bathrobe with a blushed face.

On the other hand, Toby entered the car park and drove away from Bayside Residence, hitting the road as he made

a phone call. Half an hour later, he arrived at the police station and parked his car, at which point Tom walked

closer and opened the door for him. “President Fuller.”

Toby replied with an affirmative hum in response and unfastened his seatbelt. Then, he gave Tom the car keys and

walked toward the police station. Meanwhile, Tom, who held the keys, followed right behind and asked, “By the way,

did you tell Miss Reed that you’re going to meet Jessica, President Fuller?”

“No.” Toby stopped in his tracks. “What’s wrong? She mustn’t know about it?”

“No, she mustn’t.” Tom adjusted his glasses in embarrassment. “I got a call from the police this morning, and they

told me to keep Miss Reed out of the loop about you meeting Jessica. They said this is Jessica’s special request, and

if Sonia knows about it, she won’t want to see you anymore. Then, she’ll make sure you regret it when she leaves

jail. I forgot to tell you that when we were talking on the phone, but I did send you a message subsequently. So, I’m

asking now because you didn’t reply to my message, and I thought you didn’t see it.”

“I did.” Toby squinted, thinking that was why he didn’t tell Sonia he was going to meet Jessica. “Anyway, you said

Jessica will make me regret it if I tell Little Leaf that I’m going to meet her, didn’t you?” Toby sniggered coldly.

“Yes, she did.” Toby nodded.

“Really? I want to see how she can make me regret it. Is she still in the detention room now?” Toby responded with

a glacial smile on his face.

“Yes, she is,” Tom replied. “Her sentence hasn’t been confirmed because there hasn’t been a decision made by the

court. Therefore, she is now detained in the police station for the time being until her sentence is confirmed. Then,

she will be sent to jail after that.”

“Alright, I heard you.” Toby nodded, stepping forward without saying a word more. Soon, they were both taken to

Jessica by a police officer.

On the other hand, Jessica was sitting in an interrogation chair in the detention room with her hands cuffed. Unable

to move, she was seen wearing a yellow singlet that all detained suspects wore with a haggard look on her face.

Due to the fear of being sentenced to prison, Jessica suffered from extreme insomnia and anorexia that made her

look very emaciated. With her bony face and yellowish skin accompanied by dark circles, she looked as if she had

aged a few years, much to the men’s disbelief.

“Is this Jessica?” Tom stood behind Toby, looking at Jessica behind the glass while exclaiming in disbelief.

“What’s with the screaming?” Toby looked back at him.

“I’m sorry, President Fuller. I can’t help it. I was just shocked to see her like that.” Tom giggled.
