Chapter 1307 Going to the Factory to Take a Look

Sonia bit her lip hesitantly for a couple of seconds. “Actually, there really is one thing. Mrs. Robinson, are you sure Daphne really is furthering her studies abroad?”

The instant the woman on the other end heard this, the smile on her face froze. “Miss Reed, what do you mean by that?”

Sonia forced a smile. “Well, the thing is, a secretary at my company saw someone who looked very much like Daphne when she was out this morning. Daphne’s phone was unreachable the entire time as well, so this secretary of mine wondered if the one she saw was indeed Daphne and whether she wasn’t furthering her studies abroad at all. Mrs. Robinson, as you know, Daphne and I were close, so it’s only natural that I have to find out where she actually is to put my mind at rest, no?”

“Oh, I see.” The woman nodded in relief before smiling again. “Don’t worry, Miss Reed, Daphne is indeed abroad. I think the one your current secretary saw was probably someone who looked like her. Many people look alike nowadays, and besides, Daphne has taken photos of herself with the company while she’s abroad.”

“Is that so? Alright then, I got it, Mrs. Robinson. I’m relieved to hear that she’s still abroad. I shan’t keep you any longer, then. Goodbye, Mrs. Robinson.”

“Goodbye! Feel free to visit my place when you’re free, Miss Reed,” the woman replied cordially.

“Okay,” Sonia responded politely.

After ending the phone call, she put down her phone, interlaced her fingers on her desk, and sank deep in thought, wondering if Daphne was really abroad.

She didn’t start the phone call by asking Mrs. Robinson whether Daphne was abroad because she wanted to sound her out on whether she knew Daphne wasn’t furthering her studies at a foreign company. After all, Mrs. Robinson was just an ordinary person incapable of acting. If she were to know Daphne wasn’t abroad, she’d definitely give herself away when Sonia sounded her out. Even if she was capable of acting, she wouldn’t have been a very good actor, and Sonia would still have been able to figure out something was amiss.

However, when Sonia purposely sounded her out just now, she realized that the latter sounded natural as usual without showing signs of feeling guilty or panicking. In other words, she wasn’t lying. The one lying was Daphne, who had also lied to her mother that she was furthering her studies abroad when she actually wasn’t. So why on earth did Daphne do this? Why would she lie to everyone? Did something happen to her, or is she in some kind of danger?

wasn’t until the detective agency agreed to take up the job that her mind was somewhat put at rest. No matter what, the fact that Daphne is still able to go around outside probably proves that she’s safe
