Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 374
“About this, we did investigate further; according to the surveillance footage inside and outside of the Bayside
Residence community, we saw that this person came in a taxi, and after arriving at the community, she stayed next
to the open-air swimming pool in the community and didn’t leave the swimming pool until Miss Reed appeared. She
then followed Miss Reed from behind, and when she left after attacking Miss Reed, she also took a taxi,” the two
police officers said one after another.
Sonia bit her lip. “Coming and going via a taxi—is this person being extra cautious or clumsy?”
She wouldn’t be considered clumsy because she knew to disguise herself heavily to not be exposed.
But she wasn’t cautious either since she even revealed her whereabouts by taking a taxi. This made it all the more
impossible to guess what that person was thinking.
“Since she came and went by taxi, the surveillance camera should have captured the taxi’s license plate, so you
should also know where this person got on and where she got off, right?” Toby pursed his lips.
“Yes, indeed. We found the two taxi drivers, and because this person was dressed very strangely, it left a deeper
impression on these two drivers. This person stopped the taxi at the department store on the north side of the city
and finally got off at Midbert Village in the west of the city.”
“Midbert Village!” Charles’ eyes brightened. “Could it be that person actually lives in Midbert Village?”
“We naturally thought about this possibility as well, so we have already sent plainclothes officers to investigate
around the area, but because there is no surveillance in the village, it may take a long time,” the two police officers
said.
Tim pushed his glasses and said, “I don’t get it. Why did this person choose to come from the department store?
It’s about dozens of kilometers away from Bayside Residence.”
This question happened to be where Sonia was most puzzled.
Toby looked at the two police officers. “You must have looked into this already, right?”
The two police officers nodded. “That’s right. We have obtained the surveillance from the department store, and it
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshows that this person appeared in the department store at noon. After she appeared, she stayed in the lobby of
the first floor of the department store. It wasn’t until 5.00PM in the afternoon that this person went to the
bathroom, and after coming out, she went straight out of the department store to hail a taxi and went to Bayside
Residence. However, we couldn’t find out how this person got to the department store.”
“Couldn’t find out? The surveillance near the department store didn’t capture anything about her?” Charles asked,
obviously dissatisfied.
The two police officers shook their heads apologetically. “Mr. Lane, you’re right. We have watched all the
surveillance near the department store, and there was indeed no footage of this person at all, so this person
seemed to have suddenly appeared in the department store.”
“She must have changed her disguise!” Toby squinted his eyes, and his voice was very certain. “It’s not that the
surveillance cameras near the department store didn’t get any footage of this woman—it’s highly likely that the
woman hadn’t changed into her disguise, so you couldn’t recognize her. Which means, this person changed her
clothes after entering the department store, so this can explain why she ‘appeared out of thin air’.”
Hearing that, the two police officers were startled because the both of them really didn’t think about this at all.
They were still wondering how this person appeared out of nowhere, but they didn’t expect that it might have been
because she had put on a disguise at a later time.
“I also agree with President Fuller’s statement,” Tim said, wrapping his arms.
Although Charles hated Toby, this time, he didn’t disagree because he agreed with his take on this.
Sonia lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, “Since you have that person’s body data, can
you use the exclusion method to narrow down the suspect?”
Before the two police officers could answer, Toby answered her first. “No. There is too much traffic in the
department store, and there are definitely a lot of people of the same height and figure, so it is impossible to lock
her down!”
“President Fuller is right. If we really tried to narrow down the suspects based on the figure, there would be at least
a few hundred people there that day. These hundreds of people are not necessarily nearby residents; it is possible
that many of them are from other parts of Seafield or even other cities, so we can’t summon people from every
household—the workload would be too much,” the two police officers also said.
Sonia was silent after hearing that.
Charles patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, “It doesn’t matter, Darling. Didn’t she get off at Midbert
Village? Many people must have seen her in that disguise, then we will be able to catch her.”
Sonia squeezed the corners of her mouth, barely showing a smile, as she responded dismissively.
“It’s getting late. We don’t want to take more of your time, Miss Reed. You have a good rest—we will head back to
the police station first. If there is any progress, we will notify you in time.” The two police officers stood up.
Sonia nodded slightly. “Okay. Thanks for the trouble. Take care. Charles will see the two of you out.”
“Sure.” Charles responded and sent the two out.
Right then, there were only three people left in the ward, including Sonia.
Moments later, Toby looked at her and said, “The police are not staffed enough, so it will take a long time to ask the
residents of Midbert Village to get results. I will send a group of people to help the police to investigate together; I
believe there will be results soon. ”
Sonia pursed her lips. “Toby, can you please not meddle in my affairs anymore? I finally repaid one of your favors,
and there are still lots to pay, so I don’t want to owe you more and more.”
Return my favor?
A trace of doubt flashed in Toby’s eyes.
He was not following at all.
However, without thinking too much, Toby lowered his eyes and said softly, “I did this not to make you owe me a
favor, so you don’t need to pay it back. I just want to do something for you.”
“But I don’t need it, Toby. I don’t need it. Do you understand?” Sonia patted her blanket angrily.
Beside him, Tim leaned against the cold wall, watching the ‘show’ with great amusement.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmToby sat down beside the hospital bed and looked at her seriously. “No. You need it. You are not strong enough now,
and you can’t even protect yourself, so you need someone backing you!”
“I know. That person can be Charles or Carl, but definitely not you.” Although Sonia couldn’t see him, her eyes were
firm.
Hearing that, Toby felt a little sting in his heart, but it was not obvious on his face. “But neither Charles nor Carl
have the ability to protect you all the time, nor are they powerful enough as well.”
“It doesn’t matter. I never planned to rely on them to strengthen myself anyway, so Toby, put away your thoughts.
I’ll still say it again—I don’t and will never need your intervention. It’s just going to bother me!” Sonia warned him
coldly.
Toby laughed instead of being angry. “You’re speaking as if you wouldn’t be bothered by me if I don’t interfere.”
The corner of Sonia’s mouth twitched; she had no comebacks for what he said.
Seeing that she didn’t respond, Toby suppressed the dullness in his heart and chuckled. “Look, since you’re
bothered by me anyway, I’m not afraid of doing something that annoys you more because it’ll just be the same
anyway. Okay. Rest well. I’ll go and get someone to have a look at Midbert Village, and I’ll let you know when there’s
a result.”
With that, he got up and went out.
Hearing his footsteps, Sonia felt angry and helpless.
She was furious with Toby’s thick-skinned attitude, and helpless at his persistence.
She often found herself at a loss of what to do when facing such a person.
“Alright. Everyone has left. It’s just me and you now,” Tim said suddenly.
Sonia turned to him. “You’re still here?”
He hadn’t said anything since just now, so she thought he had left.
Tim pushed his glasses and smiled. “It seems that my presence with you is really weak. You don’t even know that I
am here.”
Sonia was a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I can’t see. So…”
