Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 393 A Call from the Police More importantly, this spy even brought harm upon Sonia. âThis should stop. This should stop right now. Iâll get her to come out immediately,â Zane uttered before he made a move to end the call.
Sonia stopped him before he could do so. âWait! Calm down. I made a police report once I was hit, and the police recognized that it was Taylor who had harmed me after they conducted their investigation. Theyâll summon Taylor in for an interrogation, so we can just head directly to the station when that happens,â Sonia explained.
âThat sounds like a plan.â Zane nodded. However, he was still furious about the incident. âF*ck. I always thought I was good at analyzing others, but I canât believe I was defeated by a woman like her. Iâm so pissed!â he grumbled with his deep voice.
Sonia scoffed. âItâs not just you who failed to analyze her. I didnât realize how manipulative she was either. I guess we were a little too conceitedâwe thought that we had it all within our control. Yet, reality came as a huge punch in our faces. Well, I guess it could also be a good thing. Iâm sure we wonât make the same mistake twice.â
âI guess thatâs true,â Zane uttered with a bitter smile. He continued with an apologetic tone, âIâm sorry that you were injured, Sonia.â
âItâs no big deal. Well, I guess thatâs all for now. Iâll contact you when the policemen order us to head over,â Sonia said as she pinched the area between her brows.
âOkay,â Zane replied.
At the same time, Titus, Julia, and Rina were having their dinner in Gray Residence. They had no idea what was about to happen, but Rina felt a heavy feeling in her chest during their meal. She had a bad feeling about something.
All of a sudden, her phone began to ring. She lowered her cutlery and pulled her phone out of her pocket to glance at the screen. The caller ID indicated that it was a call from the Seafield Police Station. Rinaâs expression darkened as she instinctively got to her feet.
Both Titus and Julia were surprised by her sudden change in behavior. âWhat is it, Rina?â Titus asked as he lowered his cutlery. Julia, too, glanced at her worriedly. âYeah, Rina. Why do you look so pale? Who is the call from?â
âItâs... Itâs the man who used to be my adoptive father.â Rina lowered her gaze to conceal the fact that she was lying. Titus immediately slammed his palm against the dining table. âIs he calling you to ask for money?â he asked with a grim look.
âI... I guess so.â Rina lowered her head even more.
Titus scoffed. âI told you not to contact those people anymore. Why wonât you listen to me? How many times have they called to ask for money?â
âYeah, Rina.â Julia nodded in agreement. âJust think about the way that family treats you! Why would you still think of them? The more you think about them, the more theyâll pester you.â
âIâm sorry, Mom and Dad. Itâs all my fault.â Rina pressed her lips tightly together after apologizing to them. Deep down, she was boiling with hatred for the Careys. Why would I contact them? Iâd do anything to cut ties with them forever. It all started when Rina bumped into an old lady who was from the same village as the Careys. The old lady was nice to Rina, so Rina gave the old lady her phone number when the old lady asked for it.
However, Rina hadnât expected the old lady to give her phone number to that couple. After both husband and wife found out about the lavish life that Rina was living, they went against Zaneâs rules and made direct contact with Rina to ask her for money. If Rina hadnât gotten Zane to keep the couple in control, they might have even traveled all the way to Seafield just to ask her for money.
âItâs good that you recognize your faults. You can change to a new phone number later. That way, youâll cut off all ties with them.â Titus lifted his spoon as he gave Rina his orders.
Rina nodded. âI got it. Iâll clear things up with them.â She then left her seat and walked away from the dining hall. If it had actually been the Careys, she would have no reason to avoid Titus and Julia. However, it wasnât a call from the Careys, but from the police. Why would the police call me? I think itâs best for me to pick up this call outside, just to be safe.
She picked the call up and placed the phone against her ear only after she reached the living hall. Her voice was quiet and shaky. âHello...â
âIs this Miss Rina Gray?â The voice on the other end was hard and cold. Rina immediately knew that something was wrong once she heard the manâs voice. Her muscles grew tense as she tightened her grip on the phone. âYes, this is Rina speaking.â
âIn that case, Iâd like to request for you to come over to the police station within the next hour. We need you here to provide some information for our investigation,â the man uttered.
Rinaâs face turned as pale as a sheet. âAn investigation? What... What sort of investigation is this?â
The only thing I did that may warrant an investigation is probably my attack against Miss Reed. Could the police be referring to this? If thatâs the case, wouldnât that mean that Alice snitched on me? Wait, that doesnât sound right. Even though Alice knows how I look, she doesnât know my nameâthe police will probably take more time to find me if thatâs the case. Itâs not as if they can access Aliceâs memories to see what I look like, right?
So, it canât be related to this matter! It has to be something else! Rina took a deep breath as she soothed herself with this thought. Yet, the policeâs next sentence cut off her final glimmer of hope. âThis is related to a case of you attacking Miss Reed.â
Smack! The phone slipped out of Rinaâs hand and fell onto the ground. The screen turned pitch black. Meanwhile, Rina was too stunned to moveâ
her limbs felt like they had turned to ice as she began to shiver. Itâs really related to this incident. I canât believe they found out about me! How am I supposed to keep Miss Reedâs identity a secret after this? Wonât others find out that sheâs actually Rina? Whatâs Mr. Coleman going to think of me when he finds out that I have betrayed them? A surge of fear took over Rina, and she could barely breathe as she was too flustered. She didnât want to go to the station because she knew that she might not be able to leave after entering that building.
But if I donât go... Rina seemed to recall something as she hastily knelt down and picked her phone up. Fortunately, her phone wasnât entirely damagedâthe screen had some cracks and the phone had switched off on its own, but it still functioned once she turned it on again. Rina immediately ran a search to find out what the consequences would be if she were to go against the policeâs orders of summoning her to the station.
When she saw the responses on the Internet, she felt as if a layer of ice had formed around her heart.
If she didnât comply with the policeâs orders, they would send officers to her house and bring her to the station with force. In that case, everyone would spread the news about her crime, and both Julia and Titus would find out. No. I canât let Mom and Dad find out about this, Rina thought as she bit her lip. Itâs just the police station, right? I can just go there and insist that I wasnât involved, right?
With that thought, Rina took a deep breath and returned to the dining table. Julia noticed the pale look on Rinaâs faceâRina was clearly shocked by the call. âWhat is it, Rina? Did those people from the Carey Family scold you? Theyâre so shameless!â Julia uttered as she felt sorry for her daughter.
âItâs nothing. I just recalled some unhappy memories from the past. Mom, Dad, Iâd like to go out for a walk.â Rinaâs gaze flickered before she looked at Titus and Julia. Titus nodded. âGo on. Iâll transfer you some money, and you can buy yourself anything that you fancy,â he offered.
âThanks, Dad,â Rina replied. He beamed at her. âYouâre my only daughter. Whatâs there to thank me for?â
Rina had to look down in order to conceal the darkness in her gaze. The more this couple treats me well, the more I want to stay in the Gray Family.
Itâs not just for the money that they have, itâs also for the fatherly and motherly love that Iâve been getting from them. No matter what happens, I have to make sure that I keep my identity as Rina Gray. I have to find a way to get past this issue. With her fists clenched, Rina walked out of Gray Residence and made her way to the station.
At the same time, both Sonia and Zane made a move to go to the police station. Perhaps it was all fatedâall three of their cars arrived at the station at the same time, and all three of them bumped into each other at the stationâs entrance.
