Toby nodded in agreement while Tom responded with a stern manner, “Alright, I heard you loud and clear. I’ll contact the investigation team right away. Furthermore, your mother’s photo will be sent over as soon as they verify whether the murderer’s fingerprints are still on it.”

“Alright, noted,” Toby replied with an affirmative hum.

Soon, Tom reached for his phone and contacted the investigation team, whereupon he hung up the call two minutes later and turned his attention to Toby. “President Fuller, I’ve just passed your word to them and they’ll send someone to initiate an investigation in Fredburg soon.”

In fact, Fredburg was where the Johann Family’s base was initially located and the place Toby’s mother lived in until she got married. Therefore, Tom could understand why Toby wanted the investigation team to head over to Fredburg to conduct some digging about his mother’s former lover.

“During the investigation, please tell the team to keep a low profile to avoid any unnecessary attention.” Toby rubbed his forehead, worried that his suspicion would be proven true as that would mean the person was still in Fredburg. Thus, the investigation team’s arrival could easily alarm and scare the man off before they could capture him. If that happened, it would lead to an inevitable wild-goose chase that would be nothing more than a waste of time. After all, Toby had been waiting for twelve years to avenge his father.

“Don’t worry, President Fuller. I’ve thought about that as well, so I already told them to do everything they can to avoid any unwanted attention,” Tom replied as he adjusted his glasses.

“That’s great.” Toby raised his chin as he looked up and fixed his eyes on the building. A few moments later, he averted his gaze and opened the car door. “Let’s go.”

“Sure!” Tom nodded.

Two days later, Sonia woke up and saw a glimmer of bright ray of light in front of her the moment she opened her eyes. Is that light? Oh my gosh! It’s really a ray of light! Although she still couldn’t make out what was in front of her eyes, she quickly understood that she was recovering her eyesight. Therefore, she clenched her fists and exclaimed in exhilaration.

In the meantime, Wanda, who was preparing breakfast, heard Sonia’s voice before immediately leaving the kitchenware aside to turn off the gas stove. Then, she barged into Sonia’s bedroom without even knocking on the door, thinking that Sonia was in trouble as she asked in a concerned manner, “Are you alright, Miss Reed?”
