Bizarre Death

She didn’t even know when she started to have a crush on Toby again; she remembered swearing to

herself that she would never fall in love with him ever again, yet her feelings got the better of her once

more.

Thus, Sonia couldn’t help but wonder whether she was destined to be with Toby for the rest of her life.

At that thought, she bit her lips with a mixture of complicated feelings surging through her.

Then, she suddenly began to understand why she would care about him so much as well as the reason

behind all the other emotions that she had experienced in relation to him. I felt happy whenever he

showed his concern; I felt anxious when I knew he was injured and it makes me jealous whenever I see

him talking to another woman. Is it all because… I love him?

Sonia’s hands started to tremble a moment later as she buried her head in her hands. Deep down in

her heart, she couldn’t stop thinking when her feelings for Toby had returned.

Soon enough, her mind was flooded with countless bits and pieces of memories that they shared until

her mind was clear of them and she found herself reflecting on them. I guess I know when I fell in love

with Toby again.

It was when Declan had kidnapped Sonia that she started to develop a crush on Toby. Toby had laid his

life on the line to rescue her and even fell off the cliff with her at one point; this was when he earned an

extremely special place in her heart. After all, he had disregarded his own life and jumped off the cliff

just to save her, which slowly turned her gratitude and admiration for him into affection.

Ever since that incident, Sonia’s attitude toward Toby changed. She didn’t even show any dislike about

meeting him while treating him with less indifference than ever before. Furthermore, he had also saved

her in a few other incidents after the kidnapping, which was why she had easily fallen in love with him.

Well, he was the man I used to love back then, so falling in love with him isn’t hard at all, or maybe…

he has always been in my heart all this time. As Sonia continued to dwell on her bewilderment, the

aura around her suddenly became gloomy.

On the other hand, Nancy, who noticed Sonia’s reaction, was concerned. “Sonia, are you alright—”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Toby coming out of the kitchen.

When Toby saw Sonia keeping her head down, he knew that something was wrong and quickly

approached her, whereupon he placed his hand on her shoulder.

In that instant, Sonia’s body stiffened as she looked back and saw Toby’s hand on her shoulder. She

pushed his hand off her in panic and shifted her gaze to Nancy before changing the subject. “By the

way, Nancy, what brings you here today?”

For some reason, Sonia didn’t know how to face Toby because she couldn’t accept the fact that she

had fallen in love with him again. Perhaps it’s only after accepting the fact that I’m in love with him that I

can face him without holding back. By then, maybe I’ll be able to decide whether I’m going to be with

him, but now… I don’t think I can do it.

In the meantime, his eyes darkened when he saw her sudden change of attitude, as if she was

withdrawing from him like he was some kind of monster. Then, he pursed his lips and asked, “What’s

wrong with you, Sonia?”

“Oh, nothing is wrong with me. I’m alright,” she answered in a trembling voice while she lowered her

gaze once more.

Toby stretched out with his arm and lifted her chin to make her look into his eyes. “Look at me and

answer my question. What’s wrong with you?” Why has she turned into a different person? I had

merely gone off to wash the bowl and deal with the rest of the hangover soup. What exactly have I

done to deserve this kind of attitude from her?

When he lifted her chin up for the second time, Sonia’s gaze finally met his. When she saw the concern

and anxiety in his gaze, she puckered her lips like she wanted to say something.

However, she closed her mouth in the end and moved his hand away. After that, she looked away and

reacted with a strangely ambiguous expression. “I’m fine, so stop asking me what’s wrong.”

Meanwhile, in response, Toby furrowed his eyebrows and clearly expressed dissatisfaction with Sonia’s

answer. As he didn’t want to force her hand into spilling the beans, he turned his attention to Nancy,

who was standing aside.

Although his reaction had caught Nancy by surprise, she only waved her hand in Sonia’s direction once

again. It was as if Nancy implied that she wasn’t in the position to say anything if Sonia was unwilling to

reveal what the matter was. Therefore, he only squinted while silently pursing his lips in an

unfathomable manner.

“Nancy, you haven’t answered me why you’re here.” When Sonia sensed the intense atmosphere, she

took a deep breath and forced a smile as she repeated her earlier question.

After she noticed Toby’s glacial look, Nancy also knew that it was time for her to change the subject

and the mood of the vibe. Thus, she faked a cough and replied, “Well, like I had mentioned before, I

came to thank you both, but I also have something important that I want to tell you.” Her expression

became solemn when she mentioned her purpose of visiting Sonia and Toby.

The moment Sonia witnessed Nancy’s look, she knew what she was about to hear was important and

even she was becoming serious. Toby also decided to sit next to Sonia instead of standing behind her

in his curiosity to hear what Nancy was about to reveal.

Soon, Sonia gazed at Nancy and urged, “Please tell us what it is, Nancy.”

Nancy nodded in response. “Alright, I’ll tell you guys now. However, before I proceed, I want you to be

mentally ready with what you’re going to hear.”

“Alright.” Sonia responded with an affirmative hum.

Nancy closed her eyes and took a moment to organize her thoughts. Then, she began, “Didn’t I tell you

that I was aware of Will’s affair a long time ago? Although I knew that his mistress’ name was Jessica, I

had no idea that she was related to you at all, Sonia. Even so, I never bothered to learn more about her

because I didn’t want to waste my time and energy on learning about a lady whom my husband was

cheating on me with. Subsequently, Mr. Fuller mentioned Jessica when he spoke to Will’s father. Will’s

father later visited my house and had a conversation with my dad. It was only then when I finally

discovered that Jessica is your sister, but at the same time, that also reminded me of something I heard

a few months ago.”

A surprised Sonia turned her head to look at the man sitting beside her. Since when did he talk to

Nancy’s father-in-law about Jessica? Why did it even occur to him to talk about Jessica in the first

place?

Toby could seemingly guess what Sonia thought as he raised his glass of water and took a sip of it. “I

thought you said you didn’t want Jessica to be someone’s mistress. Now that the Lazuli Family has

abandoned her, she won’t be a mistress anymore. That was the reason why I spoke to Will’s father

about Jessica.”

“Oh wow! Thank you so much!” She was amused yet a little annoyed after hearing his explanation.

Although she didn’t like the fact that he took the liberty to proceed with his plan without her consent,

she couldn’t deny that his straightforward method had been effective.

“Don’t mention it.” Toby’s lips curled upward and he looked at Nancy. “Please continue. What else did

you learn?”

Nancy then gazed at Sonia. “A few months ago, I ran into Jessica at a mall when I was shopping with

my besties there. At that time, she happened to be on a call and didn’t notice my presence, so I hid in a

corner and eavesdropped. Then, I heard something that shocked me to my core. She said she had no

qualms about killing her half-sister just like how she had done so with her father.”

“What did you just say?! You mean…” Sonia jumped as she trembled uncontrollably from head to toe

with a pale face while asking in a shaky voice, “Did y-you just say… you heard that it was Jessica who

orchestrated my father’s death?”

Toby’s expression also changed as his eyes widened in horror. I thought Henry committed suicide,

didn’t he? When he took his own life, Jessica ran away with all the money, so what does all this have to

do with her?

“Yes, I did.” Nancy firmly nodded her head. “I’m sure I heard something like this because my heart

skipped a beat when she nearly discovered my presence. Jessica said both she and her mother had

drugged her father. The poison that they used on him had resulted in the deterioration of his physical

and mental health as time went by. Thus, when her father had a mental breakdown, all they did was

gently nudge him by coaxing him to take his own life. That was how both of them were able to get away

with their crime. Therefore, she was actually calling to thank the person who gave her drug that day.”
