With a faint smile, Sonia answered, “Simple. We’re going to file a police report!”

Giving her a surprised look, Charles started, “Baby, didn’t you say—”

“Huh?” She gave him a warning glance.

Instantly, he mimed zipping his mouth shut and fell silent.

 

Only then did she continue, “Since we both have different opinions and Miss Gray maintains her innocence while we believe that she did it on purpose, it’ll be difficult to determine the truth for now. If that’s the case, why don’t we let the police investigate?”

Noting the intelligent glint in her eyes, Toby knew deep down that she was planning something and that her motives weren’t pure.

However, before he could warn Tina, the latter spoke up. “Of course.” She was smiling in agreement but laughing at Sonia internally while thinking about how foolish the other woman was for thinking of making a police report.

Without video evidence, what good will summoning the police do? Tina laughed to herself.

Meanwhile, Sonia pretended not to see the ridicule in Tina’s eyes and only applauded, a smile on her face. “Very good! You’ve made the right call, Miss Gray. Charles, since she has agreed, you should call the police and ask them to bring a hypnotist along when they come to investigate the case.”
