This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 491 Charles’s Invitation

“Why don’t we get someone to run an investigation?” Charles suggested.

Sonia nodded in response. “Of course. We have to look into this. I won’t be able to sleep well if we don’t dig deep to find out all that we can about them.” Jessica and her mother were in hiding, while Sonia was out in the public’s eye, after all. Sonia wouldn’t even have found out about Jessica’s return to Seafield if Charles hadn’t found out about Jessica. If I didn’t know that they were back, I wouldn’t even have the chance to react in time if Jessica and her mother were to do something to me. Now that I’m aware of their return, I have to investigate their whereabouts, so that I can be prepared if they try to do anything to me.

“Who’s going to do the investigation? Should we hire a detective, or…” Charles’s voice faded off. “Let’s get a detective,” Sonia replied after thinking for a moment. “Jessica showed up near Paradigm Co.—I believe she was trying to gain information about us. If we send our own people over, she might recognize one of them, so I think it’s better if we hire a detective.”

“That’s true. There’s a private detective office that I’ll pass by on the way back later, and I’ve heard good things about the place. I’ll go ahead and arrange things since it’s more convenient for me,” Charles offered as he poured himself a glass of water.

“Okay. Sorry for the trouble. By the way, what brings you here?” Sonia asked.

“Daphne,” Charles replied as he pulled a chair over to sit down. “She told me that you seemed troubled by something and she was a little worried, so she told me to come over and take a look,” he explained.

Sonia wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry after hearing him. “I was just feeling rather moody. I didn’t expect her to think that something was up with me.”

“She cares about you a lot,” Charles commented.

“I know. I’m really touched by her actions,” Sonia said with a firm nod.

“Are you really okay, darling?” Although Sonia claimed that she was just a little moody, Charles still checked on her as he was worried.

This time, Sonia gave him a slight nod. “I’m really okay.”
