Chapter 853

Chapter 853 The Gown and Suit Were Ruined

Sonia could feel the sincerity and faithfulness in Toby’s eyes when she looked at them. “I believe you.” She nodded instinctively.

After he heard her, a broad smile appeared on his face. Then, he drew her back into his arms and assured her, “You can trust me. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down.”

“Mm.” Sonia nodded once more, wrapping her arms around his back.

Seeming to enjoy the intimacy between them, he leaned his head forward to rub his face around her neck. “Have you reported the incident to the police?” he asked then.

“Yes. I have,” she replied promptly. Her expression became solemn as they reverted the conversation to the incident. “When the garment bags were snatched, I called the police straight away. They promptly dispatched officers to arrest the robber after receiving the clues. They are supposed to update me after they have arrested the robber, but I haven’t received any calls since then,” she added. Her expression was dimmed and disappointed.

 

Toby narrowed his eyes as he scowled. “If it was just a typical robbery, the police would have arrested him by now. It seems to be an organized robbery. That’s why they need more time to track him down. Leave this matter to me. I will handle it.”

“How do you plan to—” Sonia’s phone rang at that very time, interrupting the conversation.

 

At first, she furrowed her brows. Then, both of them tilted their heads and looked toward the coffee table, where her cell phone sat. “It’s the police.” She gasped with sparkles in her eyes.

A surprised smile appeared on her face. “It’s a phone call from the police, Toby. They must have arrested the robber and recovered the clothes,” she blurted.

Toby’s knitted brows relaxed when he saw her happy little face. “That’s great. Go on and pick up the phone, then.”

“Mm.” She nodded and grabbed her phone. “Hello,” she answered the call with a nervous tone.

“Hello, Miss Reed.” A gruff, masculine voice sounded from the other side. Sonia recognized the voice, for it belonged to one of the police officers that she had spoken to when she made the police report.

She gripped the phone with both hands and responded promptly, “Yes, it’s me. Have you arrested the robber? Did the police manage to recover the clothes?”
