Chapter 385 The Complexity of Men

Toby was right.

Sonia took the call. “What is it, Charles?”

“The portrait’s done, babe,” Charles said solemnly.

Sonia sat up straighter. “Really? Who’s the culprit?” She couldn’t see, so there was no point in sending her the portrait. Besides, she knew Charles must have looked into the culprit’s identity the moment the portrait was done, so it was easier asking him for the answer.

“You know her too. It’s Rina, the Grays’ daughter,” Charles answered more somberly than ever.

Sonia’s eyes widened. “Impossible!” she answered reflexively. Taylor? That’s impossible! That’s the spy Zane and I hired!

“Why? Do you know her, babe?” Charles frowned in suspicion.

Sonia answered, “Yes. I’m sorry for keeping this a secret, but Rina isn’t the Grays’ daughter. She’s a woman called Taylor. She’s a spy Zane and I hired to keep an eye on the Grays.”

“What?” Charles raised his voice. “You kept this thing a secret from me? That’s huge!”

“Sorry, Charles.” Sonia stared at the ground, embarrassed. She didn’t divulge it to Charles because she didn’t see the need to. After all, this was a grudge between her, the Colemans, and the Grays. It had nothing to do with the Lanes, so she didn’t want to drag them into this. Besides, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. That would keep the chances of exposing Taylor to a minimum.

Sonia apologized, Charles calmed down and thought about the reasons she kept it a secret. He could understand her stance, but it still made him uneasy, since he felt alienated. In the end, he pursed his lips. “Forget it. I can understand why you kept this a secret, but babe, the culprit really is R… I mean Taylor. I let Alice see the portrait.
