This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 59

Sonia pursed her pale lips and said, “I did fall down by myself, but I feel like things weren’t as simple as they looked.”

“Do you suspect something, baby?” Charles asked as he looked at her.

She nodded. “I fell because I stepped on something slippery as I came out from the stall. When I was on the floor, I smelled something fragrant, like body wash.”

“Why would there be body wash in front of your stall?” His eyes widened in astonishment.

“I have no clue either.”

Stroking his chin, he mused, “Could it be that someone dropped their body wash as they passed by and it spilled right on your doorstep, and you were unlucky enough to step in it?”

Narrowing her eyes, she answered, “Maybe, but the chances don’t sound too high.”

“Why do you say so?”

Tilting her head slightly at him, Sonia answered, “Because I didn’t hear the sound of anything falling while I was taking a bath.”

Which was to say someone stealthily and deliberately placed the body wash in front of her door.

Instantly, Charles stood up. “Then it has to be Tina. She and Toby are our only two enemies at this resort and since he couldn’t possibly enter the ladies’ room, that leaves only her.”

Sonia’s hand that was resting on the blanket clenched. “You’re right. When you called me last evening, she happened to be nearby. She must have heard me say that I was hitting the showers and followed me in.”

As Charles’ chest rose and fell dramatically with rage, he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket, snarling, “What a poisonous snake that woman is! We have to make a police report. We must! We can’t let this go just like that!”

However, Sonia stopped him and she pointed out, “There’s no use. It’s not like there’s surveillance in the shower room. We have no way of proving that she planted the body wash. Even if tests revealed that the body wash on the floor is the kind she uses, she could lie and say she spilled it by accident. She wouldn’t be found guilty at all.”

Frowning tightly, he grumbled, “So, if this isn’t an option, what should we do?”

After a moment of thought, she proposed, “Unless we can get a recording of her admitting to deliberately harming me, all of our efforts will amount to nothing.”

“That won’t be easy.” With a sinister smile, he continued, “But I can have someone threaten her while wearing a wire. She’ll fall for it.”
