This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 70

“Why would he ask?” Oblivious to the underlying implications, Charles’ ignorance showed as soon as he opened his mouth.

After doing a facepalm, Sonia wore a somber expression and explained, “I’m afraid Toby’s questions has to do with the fact that Tina is now hospitalized. Perhaps Tina’s disappearance was because she was kidnapped, and the kidnapper might be someone we personally know.”

“What?” Charles was taken aback by the revelation.

Sonia pulled her lips into a thin line. “It had been a while since Tina hurt me, but Toby chose to question us right after Tina was hospitalized. It’s apparent that he suspects we’re enacting revenge on him by having someone kidnap Tina.” That was the reason she was having a heartache in the face of Toby’s suspicion earlier.

 

Upon listening to Sonia’s conjecture, Charles’ gaze flickered for a moment as he caught on to the situation. “We’re done for. You told Toby that Carl is the only person who’s aware of what happened. He must think that Carl is the one who kidnapped Tina and is the reason she was subsequently hospitalized.”

“I’m also wondering if Carl was behind that incident because he’s the only one who knows the truth besides us. This won’t do. I need to ask him.” Sonia retrieved her phone from her bag to give Carl a call. Meanwhile, Charles stole a glance at her as an almost imperceptible sheepish look fleeted across his gaze.

Soon, the call connected, and Carl’s exhausted voice came through. “Sonia… cough… why are you calling so late at night?”

“Are you sick, Carl?” Worry was written all over Sonia’s face when she heard Carl’s cough over the phone.

Carl smiled feebly. “It’s cold here, and we’re shooting outdoors, so I caught a cold without realizing. Cough, cough…”
