Chapter 860 Sleep Well
As Sonia was alone with the man, Toby was comfortable leaving the room since the man was chained to a chair and
could not hurt her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t leave her alone.
After he left the interrogation room, he finally had cell reception and immediately dialed Tom’s number.
At this moment, Tom was hanging out with his friends, and the ringtone made his skin crawl.
That was because he knew that he would be busy for a long time after he accepted the call.
With a sigh, Tom excused himself from his friends and left the room to accept the call. “President Fuller.”
“Did you feel something was off while checking Anya Steinfeld’s background?” Toby asked immediately.
Tom was stunned. “Anya Steinfeld? Are you saying there’s something wrong with the information we obtained?”
Toby didn’t expect much. So, he summarized what the man had told him in the interrogation room to Tom.
After hearing that, Tom inhaled sharply when he heard everything that had occurred.
That’s why he’s asking me about Anya. There’s more than it seems about her identity, and it’s not what I had
investigated before. If she is just an average person, how can she obtain the background of a man in such a short
time? This means that someone brought the information for Anya. If they can get the result in a short time, the
team behind her definitely isn’t weak.
“I’m so sorry, President Fuller. I didn’t notice anything wrong with her information before letting my subordinate
obtain them. Her information was so ordinary that I never thought it could be forged,” Tom answered, shamefaced.
Toby knew that this wasn’t his fault, so he didn’t lay the blame on him.
After all, she used a fake identity to convince outsiders. Of course, no ordinary people would think that it was a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtforged identity.
“Investigate it again. I want you to investigate Anya’s identity thoroughly this time,” he instructed with a cold
expression.
Tom nodded seriously. “Yes, sir. Don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”
“Good.” Toby nodded, then ended the call.
Although he passed the job to Tom, his brows were still in a knitted state.
He was worried about one thing.
Who is Anya? Why does she want to hide her identity? She even appeared before Sonia and me. Is that just a
coincidence, or is it on purpose? I hope that it is just a coincidence. If not, then she must have an ulterior motive.
Hiding her identity to complete that motive means that it isn’t something good. Whatever it is, I will make sure that
she will never succeed!
“What are you thinking? You look scary.” At this moment, Toby heard Sonia’s voice coming from behind him.
His stern and murderous look dissipated as he turned to face her. Then, he shook his head in response. “I asked
Tom about Anya’s identity, and he said there was nothing suspicious about her information.”
She was not surprised by the answer and stood beside him. “It’s alright. A forged identity is useless if it does not
fool you.”
Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed when they discussed this topic. “I’m sure when Tom was investigating her identity,
he must have obtained the information from the census website. It is a government-owned website, and you
cannot even forge your identity on it. However, Anya’s information on the website is clearly forged. In conclusion,
Anya’s team must have an insider in the system; otherwise, they are related to the people working there. You need
to be in the system to edit your information on the census website.”
“You reminded me of something.” Toby narrowed his eyes, picked up the phone again, and dialed Tom’s number.
Tom answered the call quickly. “President Fuller, do you have any other orders?”
“Contact the Coleman Family and ask them to investigate the organization in charge of the census. I want to know
who has used their authority to change Anya’s information.” Toby’s hand clenched on his phone tightly as he
instructed with a cold expression.
Not even the government can change the information on the website willy-nilly. You need the authority to do it. If
they did it, they would leave a trace on the website. As long as you investigate the browsing history, you can find
the culprit that edited the information. After that, finding Anya’s true identity will be significantly easier.
“Understood. I will do that now,” Tom responded earnestly.
Toby replied curtly and hung up the call.
Sonia looked at him. “Now, don’t frown anymore. I’m sure that Tom will get the answer soon.”
He put away the phone and smiled at her. “All right. I won’t. Then, you should help me out with my problem.”
She side-eyed him. “Really? Just do it yourself.”
“But I want you to do it for me.” He looked at her with anticipation.
She laughed and beckoned him to come closer when she heard that. “Then, lower your head. You’re too tall for me;
my hands can’t reach all the way up there.”
“Sure.” Toby was thrilled that he immediately bent down when he heard that she was willing to do even the most
trivial request from him.
She raised her hand and gently massaged his brows.
Then, she showed a beautiful smile once she saw his irritation gradually fading away from his face. “Now, you look
handsome. Jeez, stop frowning. Over time, those wrinkles will remain on your forehead, making you look older. Do
you want to look older than me?”
He chuckled. “Okay, I will try not to frown as much from now on.”
“Good boy.” She removed her hands from his eyebrows and took the initiative to hold his hands. “Let’s rest over
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthere. I don’t know how long it will take for Anya to arrive, and we can’t do anything about it even if we keep
standing here.”
Of course, Toby had no objection to her arrangement.
It was under the police’s arrangement that they arrived at a small lounge.
After they sat down on the sofa, Sonia immediately started yawning as exhaustion was etched on her face.
Toby asked in concern when he noticed her sleepiness, “Sleepy?”
She rested her head on his shoulder and nodded wearily. “A little. It is way past my bedtime, but I am still here
trying to get this case over with.”
Thus, the fatigue was catching up to her.
Toby raised his wrist and looked at the watch. It was indeed late as it was already 2:00 AM.
He gently hugged her shoulder. “Should we go home now and return tomorrow?”
She shook her head. “No. Since we’re already here, I want to make this trip count.”
“But you’re tired.” He couldn’t help but frown again.
However, after remembering his promise toward her, he immediately relaxed his face.
It was so fast that she didn’t notice he ever frowned.
Sonia yawned again. “It’s alright. I can still handle it.”
However, this time, she yawned as she spoke, and tears glistened in her eyes since her sleepiness was getting to
her.
No one would believe her words seeing how tired she was.
After he kept quiet for a while, he said indulgently, “You can use me as your pillow for now. I’ll wake you up when
Anya arrives.”
