Charles, who was peeling apples at the side, saw Sonia’s expression and came over to express his concern. “Baby, what’s wrong?”

“Look at this.” She proceeded to pass him her phone. “I will make Tina pay for her actions. Tim.” After reading the message out loud, he stared at her wildly. “Baby, this is a text from Tim Lancaster. How did he get your number?”

“It’s easy to get hold of someone’s personal number nowadays. You just need to search around,” she muttered nonchalantly, but her frown deepened. “I’m more concerned about the contents of his text. He said he wanted to make Tina pay. Could he have been telling the truth in the ward? Is he really going to take action on those who hurt me?”

He tightened his lips. “Whatever. If he wants to make her pay, let him be. That might benefit us as well.”

 

“True.” Sonia nodded.

He returned the phone and said, “Alright now. Don’t reply to him. You shouldn’t forget that we still do not know of his intentions—whether or not he truly wants to take revenge on Tina. If he was lying, that text could be bait to trick us. So, we should just put this aside.”

After his explanation, she concurred. “Don’t worry. I understand.”

Next, she deleted Tim’s text from her phone while Charles munched on his apple. “By the way, I have donated that ring on your behalf.”

Her eyes flickered after she heard the remark, followed by a nod of the head. “Okay.”

“I’ll leave now. I’ll pick you up again two days later for the auction.” Charles threw the apple core into the bin and dusted his hand, after which Sonia smiled at him. “Got it. You should get going now.”
