Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 1193

Chapter 1093

"We've stopped discussing when my lover here mentioned his offer getting rejected by Mr. Flingburt," Sonia recalled as she tilted her head and glanced at Toby.

At once, Freddie slapped his thigh. "Oh, that's right! We've stopped until there."

"Speaking of which, Officer Chase, I have a question." Sonia retracted her gaze from Toby with slightly furrowed brows.

Freddie motioned for her to continue. "Do ask, Miss Reed."

"Actually, my question is pretty simple. Didn't you guys say that Mr. Flingburt is a crappy lawyer? But from the stories you told me earlier, it looks like he had won every case he represented. And as for his failed case, that's also because his employer had offended him that he purposely failed the case. If so, shouldn't he be considered an outstanding lawyer with a high success rate? But why do you guys describe him as a crappy lawyer with little professional competency?"

This time Freddie didn't answer her immediately. Instead, he looked at Toby for his permission.

After Toby nodded, he finally explained, "Well, since President Fuller had asked me to continue, I'll discuss this frankly. Actually, Miss Reed, this matter isn't as convoluted as it seems. Although Mr. Flingburt has a law degree, it didn't change the fact that he barely passed his bar examination and obtained his Certificate in Legal Practice. In other words, Mr. Flingburt's professional knowledge in the legal field is far less than that of prominent lawyers. Nevertheless, he won all his cases based on his eloquence and quick responses under pressure in court."

"Oh?" Sonia raised her eyebrow in disbelief.

Freddie smiled at her incredulity. "When Mr. Flingburt went to trial, he didn't like to use the methods commonly used by other lawyers, and he rarely used lawyers' expertise. Rather, he prefers to use his high emotional intelligence and eloquence to lure the other party into saying something that shouldn't be said or doing something that shouldn't be done so as to achieve the goal of making the other party fail. His style of defending his clients in court is like making top sales in the business world."

"I understand now." Sonia clapped her hands as a sudden realization hit her. "It's like even though he's a lawyer, he doesn't apply methods that a lawyer should use. Instead, he relies on tactics a professional marketer uses to defend his clients by capturing the jury's hearts and winning them in one fell swoop."

"Indeed." Freddie nodded in agreement.

Sonia tapped her chin thoughtfully as she added, "In this case, he really doesn't need much strong expertise in law and excellent test scores in legal practice to make a name for himself in the legal industry. He is using sales methods to win against lawsuits. That does make him different from other lawyers, indeed. He's a true genius for being able to think and utilize such a tactic in court. Although he's a crappy lawyer in terms of expertise, he's a constant winner in terms of winning lawsuits. It's no wonder many would seek him to be their defense attorney."

"Yes, and seeing that President Fuller intends to hire him as your attorney, I speculate that he wants Anya to be sentenced to two more years. Am I right, President Fuller?" Freddie looked at Toby.

Sonia also turned to look at Toby.

When Toby heard what Freddie had said, his lips quirked into a slight smirk, but he didn't admit to anything. Even so, they could clearly see that he was approving of such a suggestion at a glance. Freddie was correct with his guess because that was exactly what Toby had in mind.

Freddie closed his notebook to signal that the interview had ended before he suddenly asked, "By the way, Miss Reed, do you want to take a look at Anya?"

Before Sonia replied, she looked at Toby and inquired, "Do you want to see her?"

A frowning Toby looked at Sonia like he was looking at a fool. "Are you asking me to see other women? Are you sure about this?"

Sonia was momentarily rendered speechless by the words that escaped his lips, rolled her eyes, and replied, "I'm asking you to check on a prisoner. Not telling you to see your old lover."

"Then, I'm not going either," Toby snorted. Then, he turned his head to the side and added, "I'm not interested in other women except you."

Although what Toby said moved her, it also highly amused her.

"Alright, then. Just wait for me here. I'll go check on her." As she spoke, she rose to her feet.

Nonetheless, Toby turned his head, grabbed her wrist, and said with a frown, "What's there to check? You should be careful. What if she hurts you?"

Freddie couldn't help but cough lightly as he stood up and narrowed his gaze at Toby with apparent displeasure in his eyes. "President Fuller, she's locked up. I can assure you that she can't escape and hurt others. So don't worry, Miss Reed won't be harmed." Seriously? Why does he have to make it sound like we're not vigilant enough?

Sure enough, Toby knew that Sonia wouldn't be hurt. He just wanted to prevent Sonia from seeing Anya. After all, in his opinion, there was no point in visiting an evil woman like Anya.

"Officer Chase is right. I won't be hurt, so don't worry. I'll be back soon." Sonia patted Toby's shoulder and motioned for him to release her.

Toby finally let go when he saw that he couldn't persuade her. "Return soon."

"Okay." Sonia looked back and smiled.

Finally, she followed Freddie, and soon, they arrived at the detention room.

Yet, as soon as they reached the door, they heard a woman screaming in pain.

Sonia immediately stopped in her tracks. "What's going on?" It's obviously Anya, the one who is shrieking in pain. Forget about the pain, and I can even hear the trembling and whimpering tone in her wails. This is clearly a situation that can only happen when someone is in severe pain. Could it be that the officers in the police station had done something to Anya?

As she thought of this, Sonia looked at Freddie beside her.

When Freddie noticed Sonia's gaze, he knew what she meant. Therefore, he quickly explained to her by saying, "Miss Reed, please don't misunderstand. It's not what you think. Miss Anna Salzburg has been like this these few days."

"She has been like this these few days?" Sonia blinked, thinking she had misheard things. "Why is she acting this way?"

"According to the doctor, she's in pain because she has problems with her skeletal structure."

"Skeletal structure? There's something wrong with her bones?"
