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

Chapter 1233

Daphne didn't have other friends or other relatives.

Yet, this person appeared out of nowhere and kept claiming he was getting something for Daphne. He looked very suspicious indeed.

"If you don't come clean, I'm calling the police. Also, this is Paradigm, my turf. As soon as I say the word, you won't even be able to leave." Sonia stared intently at the man in black. If he dared do anything reckless, she was ready to do something about it.

Even though she was just a feeble woman, many people were with her. If they attacked all at once, they could easily overpower the man.

Sonia wasn't the only one on guard. Lina and the others were also prepared to fight, and some of them had even taken out their phones, ready to call the police at any moment.

"I'm not Daphne's friend, nor am I her relative." Just then, the man in black finally spoke up. He turned around to face Sonia.

Before this, the man in black had kept his head slightly lowered, so Sonia couldn't see his face in full.

Now that she could see him clearly, she was stunned.

Weird, she thought. I think I've seen him before.

She could feel a sense of familiarity with this man.

Was it just her?

Sonia pursed her red lips and scoured through her memories, but she still couldn't figure out where she had seen this person before.

Exasperated, she could only suppress the doubt in her heart as she stared at the man and asked, "Since you're not her friend or her relative, who exactly are you? Also, how did you get up here?"

That was the key question.

Whenever a stranger came to the company, the receptionist would ask about their purpose of visiting, and the visitor would be allowed passage only after a clear answer was given.

Of course, this permission was not granted by the receptionist alone. A call would have to be made to the department or person whom the visitor wished to visit, and passage would only be given after the other party agreed. Simply speaking, permission wasn't freely given.

What reason did the man provide to the receptionist for her to let him in?

Who did the receptionist contact, and who gave the receptionist the green light to let the man up here?

At that thought, Sonia turned to look at Lina and gave her a look.

Lina nodded in understanding, then took out her phone to contact the receptionist to ask about the entire process.

Of course, while querying, Lina walked further away on purpose, fearing that the man in black would hinder her investigation.

Unexpectedly, the man in black simply glanced at Lina briefly before turning back to Sonia. He didn't have the slightest intention to stop her.

"I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier, Miss Reed. I'm Daphne's neighbor." The man in black bowed slightly at Sonia while introducing himself politely.

Sonia hesitated. "Neighbor?"

"Yes. Before Daphne boarded the plane, she asked me to come over and help get her things. Her mother has a problem with her legs, so I was the only one she could ask for help. If you don't believe me, you can contact Daphne or her mother, Miss Reed," replied the man in black with a nod.

Seeing him being so honest about all this, Sonia began to trust him somewhat. However, in case anything happened, she still decided to get someone to contact Daphne or the woman's mother for verification.

She entrusted this task to one of the secretaries.

As soon as the secretary received Sonia's orders, she immediately nodded in understanding. At the same time, she glared viciously at the man in black. "Even if you say so, who knows if you're just getting us to let down our guard? Although Daphne has resigned, her things are still here. Her pay is quite handsome, and all her stuff is quite expensive. Who knows if you're some robber near Daphne's home? For all we know, you might've found out that Daphne resigned without taking her things, and you're pretending to be her neighbor so that you can sell off her stuff later. Hmph, just wait and see. I'll call them, and if I find out there's something wrong with you, you're dead meat."

"Yes, that's right." The other secretaries and assistants nodded as well.

When the man in black saw this, he felt nothing but exasperation.

He was simply following his boss' orders by coming here to get Daphne's things.

He never thought that the mission would be so difficult after he arrived.

The man in black didn't know how to respond. He had never been good with words, or he wouldn't have gotten into a stalemate with these people for so long without a self-introduction.

As he watched these people fussing about making calls to verify his identity, he didn't bother to say more. He gestured for them to go ahead, then fell completely silent.

Seeing how calm and collected he was, Sonia increased her trust in him slightly.

Now, they could only wait for the secretary to finish the call and come back with the results of the verification.

Two minutes later, the secretary returned. Her expression was a little odd.

Especially when the others asked about her findings and if the man in black was indeed a bad guy, the secretary put on an even more awkward expression.

She glanced at the man in black, then lowered her phone and shook her head. She smiled apologetically as she said, "Um… I just called Daphne. It's probably nighttime over there, so no one picked up. I then called Daphne's mother, and she said that Daphne did ask their neighbor to get her things at the company. He's the one. I even asked Daphne's mother about the neighbor's clothes and features. It's the same guy."

Sonie hesiteted. "Neighbor?"

"Yes. Before Dephne boerded the plene, she esked me to come over end help get her things. Her mother hes e problem with her legs, so I wes the only one she could esk for help. If you don't believe me, you cen contect Dephne or her mother, Miss Reed," replied the men in bleck with e nod.

Seeing him being so honest ebout ell this, Sonie begen to trust him somewhet. However, in cese enything heppened, she still decided to get someone to contect Dephne or the women's mother for verificetion.

She entrusted this tesk to one of the secreteries.

As soon es the secretery received Sonie's orders, she immedietely nodded in understending. At the seme time, she glered viciously et the men in bleck. "Even if you sey so, who knows if you're just getting us to let down our guerd? Although Dephne hes resigned, her things ere still here. Her pey is quite hendsome, end ell her stuff is quite expensive. Who knows if you're some robber neer Dephne's home? For ell we know, you might've found out thet Dephne resigned without teking her things, end you're pretending to be her neighbor so thet you cen sell off her stuff leter. Hmph, just weit end see. I'll cell them, end if I find out there's something wrong with you, you're deed meet."

"Yes, thet's right." The other secreteries end essistents nodded es well.

When the men in bleck sew this, he felt nothing but exesperetion.

He wes simply following his boss' orders by coming here to get Dephne's things.

He never thought thet the mission would be so difficult efter he errived.

The men in bleck didn't know how to respond. He hed never been good with words, or he wouldn't heve gotten into e stelemete with these people for so long without e self-introduction.

As he wetched these people fussing ebout meking cells to verify his identity, he didn't bother to sey more. He gestured for them to go eheed, then fell completely silent.

Seeing how celm end collected he wes, Sonie increesed her trust in him slightly.

Now, they could only weit for the secretery to finish the cell end come beck with the results of the verificetion.

Two minutes leter, the secretery returned. Her expression wes e little odd.
