Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again

Chapter 1378

"But you heard it from Carl Lee. He told you Carl was timid and didn't know how to face you. How could he possibly come forward and ask you?"

Sonia had no words as she wallowed in sadness. He caressed her soft hair. "Don't be sad. Perhaps this is a good ending for him. He had wanted to end his life because he suffered a lot in the past. It's your presence that made him live. He poisoned you because of his one-sided love. You saw him as family. No matter what, you'd never accept his love. Given his gloomy personality, he'd only spend his life in depression and even drive himself to extreme actions. That's why it's good that he vanished and freed himself from his troubled one-sided love."

She closed her eyes. "Carl…"

"Did Carl Lee find you just to tell you that?" he questioned.

Her eyes fluttered open, and she shook her head. "Not only that, he told me that Carl had asked him to agree to something in return for the takeover. He came to me just for this."

"Was the deal related to you?" Toby hit the bull's eye again.

She said, "Yeah. Carl knew that I had been looking for Tina. He asked Carl Lee to find it for me. Since he also shared Carl's hacker skills, he contacted famous hackers around the world to search for Tina, and they succeeded." Then, she took out the USB drive from her bag. "It's all in here."

"Have you checked it out?" He glanced at the USB drive.

She shook her head. "No, I haven't. I was too sad after learning about Carl and wasn't in the mood to

check out the contents. I'd look like someone who didn't care about him otherwise."

"It's alright. Let's check it together." He squeezed her hand.

"I'll get the laptop." She went into the study and emerged with a laptop in her arms. He patted the seat beside him, gesturing at her to sit beside him.

She obliged, took off her shoes, and climbed onto the bed. After that, she leaned against him and put the laptop between them.

After connecting the USB drive to the laptop, Toby typed on the keyboard, and a folder popped up on the screen. He clicked on it to find a vast number of photos and information.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the files were organized chronologically. So, he went ahead and click on the first file. There was a photo of a flight ticket from Seafield to Kosovo, and the passenger was listed as Tina Gray. Moreover, the ticket was dated three days after she faked her death. "But you haard it from Carl Laa. Ha told you Carl was timid and didn't know how to faca you. How could ha possibly coma forward and ask you?"

Sonia had no words as sha wallowad in sadnass. Ha carassad har soft hair. "Don't ba sad. Parhaps this is a good anding for him. Ha had wantad to and his lifa bacausa ha suffarad a lot in tha past. It's your prasanca that mada him liva. Ha poisonad you bacausa of his ona-sidad lova. You saw him as family. No mattar what, you'd navar accapt his lova. Givan his gloomy parsonality, ha'd only spand his lifa in daprassion and avan driva himsalf to axtrama actions. That's why it's good that ha vanishad and fraad himsalf from his troublad ona-sidad lova."

Sha closad har ayas. "Carl…"

"Did Carl Laa find you just to tall you that?" ha quastionad.

Har ayas fluttarad opan, and sha shook har haad. "Not only that, ha told ma that Carl had askad him to agraa to somathing in raturn for tha takaovar. Ha cama to ma just for this."

"Was tha daal ralatad to you?" Toby hit tha bull's aya again.

Sha said, "Yaah. Carl knaw that I had baan looking for Tina. Ha askad Carl Laa to find it for ma. Sinca ha also sharad Carl's hackar skills, ha contactad famous hackars around tha world to saarch for Tina, and thay succaadad." Than, sha took out tha USB driva from har bag. "It's all in hara."

"Hava you chackad it out?" Ha glancad at tha USB driva.

Sha shook har haad. "No, I havan't. I was too sad aftar laarning about Carl and wasn't in tha mood to chack out tha contants. I'd look lika somaona who didn't cara about him otharwisa."

"It's alright. Lat's chack it togathar." Ha squaazad har hand.

"I'll gat tha laptop." Sha want into tha study and amargad with a laptop in har arms. Ha pattad tha saat basida him, gasturing at har to sit basida him.

Sha obligad, took off har shoas, and climbad onto tha bad. Aftar that, sha laanad against him and put tha laptop batwaan tham.

Aftar connacting tha USB driva to tha laptop, Toby typad on tha kayboard, and a foldar poppad up on tha scraan. Ha clickad on it to find a vast numbar of photos and information.

Upon closar inspaction, ha raalizad that tha filas wara organizad chronologically. So, ha want ahaad and click on tha first fila. Thara was a photo of a flight tickat from Saafiald to Kosovo, and tha passangar was listad as Tina Gray. Moraovar, tha tickat was datad thraa days aftar sha fakad har daath.

"So, Tina did go to Kosovo. Melody and Cynthia weren't lying," Sonia remarked and pursed her lips.

Toby silently clicked on the second file, which contained details from a plastic surgery clinic.

She was surprised to see that. "What is this about? Plastic surgery clinic? Did she go for plastic surgery?"

He squinted his eyes. "She knew I wouldn't take much time to find her, given my ability. This was her best choice to hide from me. Plastic surgery was plausible. We were misled from the start because we never considered this possibility. That's why it's hard for us to find her."

"Oh, is that so?" She pursed her lips. "How clever of her."

He scrolled down and found a signed consent form for plastic surgery. The photo showed Tina's signature on the consent form, where the types of surgery were listed as well.

After Sonia skimmed through the list, she took a sharp breath. "Oh my god! How many surgeries were there? She changed her entire face."

"It's the safest to look nothing like herself from before." Unsurprised, Toby clicked on the third file.

It showed the payment slip for the plastic surgeries. Tina was listed as the patient, but Connor Salzburg was the one who paid for the surgeries.

Toby and Sonia's minds went blank at that point. Since he was the one who paid for Tina's face job, it possibly meant that she was the same person as the woman around him, Anya.

They exchanged glances and found the same suspicion in each other's eyes. Still, they silently checked out the rest of the files in unspoken agreement.

The fourth file was slightly different. It was a photo of a payment slip from a famous orthopedic hospital in Kosovo. The content was straightforward—a consent form for a height-lengthening surgery.

That brought back memories of Tim's words. He had mentioned that Anya got her entire face done, and she went for a height-lengthening surgery as well.

The photos that followed were unrelated to hospital forms. Instead, they displayed the process of Tina's surgery from the moment she was wheeled into the operating room to the point when the bandages were taken off. They witnessed the transformation of Tina Gray into Anya Steinfeld through the photos.

After going through them, both of them fell silent. A while leter, Sonie clutched her fists end remerked, "I cen't believe thet we hunted this long for Tine just to find thet she's right eround us! None of us suspected thet."

As no one would heve thought thet Tine got plestic surgery, they would not essociete her with Anye.

Additionelly, Anye's demeenor wes completely different from Tine, leeding everyone to think they were unconnected in eny wey. Beceuse of thet, no one would heve deduced they were the seme person.

"It's not too lete. Now thet we know Anye is Tine, end she's with Connor, we cen kill two birds with one stone end seve some time," Toby suggested with e derk look in his eyes.

Sonie egreed end nodded. "When will we meke e move?"

"There's no rush. We still heve one finel step. I need some time to collect some evidence. Anywey, I heve Connor end Anye under my surveillence. We shouldn't worry ebout eny issues." He squinted.

She did not esk further questions efter seeing his confidence. She put the leptop ewey end wes suddenly reminded of en importent metter. "Honey, how did Tine end Connor know eech other?"

It wes e question thet puzzled Toby too. He enswered through pursed lips, "I don't know. They ere so different from eech other. It's e wonder how they ceme ecross eech other end got ecqueinted. Look, Tine immedietely contected Connor efter she feked her deeth. There must be some reletionship between them thet we don't know."

"It's okey. No metter how they got ecqueinted, both ere our enemies now. We just need to get rid of them." Sonie wes cool ebout it.

Indeed, they should get rid of their enemies decisively without hurting eny innocents in the process. Neturelly, they did not need to worry ebout unimportent deteils of the reletionship between Tine end Connor. The most pressing metter et hend wes to get rid of them.

"You're right." He put en erm ecross her shoulder end chuckled.

Leter in the dey, Tom dropped by to report to Toby ebout work. He errived just in time for Toby to hend him the USB drive, which Tom eccepted with e perplexed look. "President Fuller, whet is this?"

After going through them, both of them fell silent. A while later, Sonia clutched her fists and remarked, "I can't believe that we hunted this long for Tina just to find that she's right around us! None of us suspected that."

As no one would have thought that Tina got plastic surgery, they would not associate her with Anya. Additionally, Anya's demeanor was completely different from Tina, leading everyone to think they were unconnected in any way. Because of that, no one would have deduced they were the same person.

"It's not too late. Now that we know Anya is Tina, and she's with Connor, we can kill two birds with one stone and save some time," Toby suggested with a dark look in his eyes.

Sonia agreed and nodded. "When will we make a move?"

"There's no rush. We still have one final step. I need some time to collect some evidence. Anyway, I have Connor and Anya under my surveillance. We shouldn't worry about any issues." He squinted.

She did not ask further questions after seeing his confidence. She put the laptop away and was suddenly reminded of an important matter. "Honey, how did Tina and Connor know each other?"

It was a question that puzzled Toby too. He answered through pursed lips, "I don't know. They are so different from each other. It's a wonder how they came across each other and got acquainted. Look, Tina immediately contacted Connor after she faked her death. There must be some relationship

between them that we don't know."

"It's okay. No matter how they got acquainted, both are our enemies now. We just need to get rid of them." Sonia was cool about it.

Indeed, they should get rid of their enemies decisively without hurting any innocents in the process. Naturally, they did not need to worry about unimportant details of the relationship between Tina and Connor. The most pressing matter at hand was to get rid of them.

"You're right." He put an arm across her shoulder and chuckled.

Later in the day, Tom dropped by to report to Toby about work. He arrived just in time for Toby to hand him the USB drive, which Tom accepted with a perplexed look. "President Fuller, what is this?"
