Chapter 99

“No, I’m not going with you.” Cynthia backed away while shaking her head.

Sternly, the police added, “We will be forced to arrest you if you won’t come with us, which will result in having

one more charge pressed against you.”

Frightened by the declaration, Cynthia put the phone back to her ear. “Tina, the police have come to arrest me.

Help me! Please help me!”

 

However, no response came from the other end. Cynthia checked the phone, only to realize that the call had

already ended. At that moment, she fell into utter despair, collapsing onto the floor stupefied. The policemen

 

exchanged glances before reaching out to carry Cynthia away.

“Hello, Miss Reed.” After getting into the police car, the policeman who showed his ID earlier contacted Sonia. “We already arrested the suspect”

“Got it. Thank you.” Sonia expressed her gratitude smilingly before cutting the call.

Charles put a cup of coffee down in front of her. “Who is it?”

“The police.” Sonia sipped on her coffee.

Charles was hit with a realization. “Is it about Cynthia’s arrest?”

Sonia nodded. “Yup.”

Upon hearing that, Charles laughed gloatingly. “From what I gathered, Cynthia’s father has been hoping that she could marry into a rich family. I suppose that wish will never come true with how things are now. Her arrest will also affect Stone Incorporated’s image, so Chairman Stone must be abhorring her.”

“You’re right” Sonia chuckled.

Then, a knock came from the office door before Daphne popped her head inside. “President Reed, a lawyer

named Martin Holmes would like to meet you.”

“A lawyer?” Sonia arched her brow before turning to face Charles. “Did you hire him?”

Charles shook his head. “Why would I hire one when I have no reason to?”

“He claims to be from Fuller Group’s legal department” Daphne explained.

“Fuller Group?” Charles narrowed his eyes. “Darling, he’s Toby’s employee. Could it be that what you said during the press conference offended him, and he’s now going to sue you?”

“We’ll find out as soon

“Okay.” Daphne nodded.
