Chapter 857 Desperate Measures

“Are you sure?” asked Toby.

Sonia locked eyes with him before nodding. “Yes, it’s definitely her.”

“Who?” he questioned again.

Her hands were tightly clenched into fists. “It’s Anya Steinfield.”

“Her?” He was confounded as he had not expected her to suspect that woman.

It wasn’t that Toby didn’t believe in Sonia, but it was because he previously had done a background check on Anya, who was just an ordinary orphan.

Was Anya fearless enough to commit a crime? Didn’t she know what kind of repercussions awaited her once he got to the bottom of it?

“It must be her!” Ire filled Sonia’s eyes. “Actually, Anya and I were in the store. She liked my dress and wanted it. She even asked me to let her have it, but I didn’t. She must be holding a grudge about it and then ordered someone to snatch it, so I can’t have it either. Above all, she mentioned something about me dreaming of getting the dress that she couldn’t have. So, she did something but failed in the end. That’s why it’s possible that she planned everything that happened after I left the shop.”

“What?” Toby’s face tensed up immediately as he grabbed Sonia’s shoulders to gaze at her from head to toe. “She picked on you in the store? Why didn’t you tell me?”

When she was still in the store, he gave her a call and even texted her! Yet, she had not texted a word about her being bullied. He was greatly upset about this.

After looking at his displeased visage, she had a pretty good sense of what was going on in his mind and let out a gentle smile while assuring him, “Didn’t I tell you that she’s just a small fry to me? I can deal with her with ease. She said she wouldn’t let me off, but she failed. Instead, I made fun of her. I didn’t inform you of anything because I’m completely fine. It’ll make me seem useless if I have to let you know about such a trivial matter. Besides, you’re busy. I will never want to bother you with such trivial matters. Do you understand?”

Toby lowered his gaze to the ground without uttering a word. He got it, but he couldn’t help feeling upset.
