This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 249

It was at that precise moment that Toby became sure of the truth: Tina was not Maple.

For heaven’s sake, it’s late at night, and it’s nearly midnight! He must be insane to have asked me to go by the Fullers’ Residence! Whatever this is about, why couldn’t he have told me over the phone and insisted that I go over to his place?
