Brother? Frowning, Sonia glanced at the caller ID and said, “Sonia Reed speaking, but I don’t have a brother. You must be mistaken.”
“There’s no mistake. He says he’s your brother. His name is Tyler Fuller.”
The moment she heard the name, Sonia
was reminded of the terrible things Tyler
had done before this, and she freaked out.
“I’m sorry but I don’t know him.” With that, she hung up immediately.
Charles asked in curiosity, “Brother? Is it
Carl?”
“No. She called the wrong number.
Ther, Sonia walked out of the office with Charles. They planned to discuss Paradigm Co.’s future plans over some Japanese food. However, as soon as she entered the lift, her phone started ringing
again.
Sonia kept her shirt on as she answered
the call. However, instead of the female police, the person at the other end of the line was Tyler
“Hey Sonia, come pick me up from the
police station.”
During the six years of marriage between
her and Toby, his brother–Tyler, had
either addressed her by her full name or
did not address her at all. This was actually the first time he had called her
Nonetheless, this fellow sounded very reluctant. It was as if he was forcing
himself to address Sonia as such.
Your brother and I have already divorced.” Sonia reminded Tyler, and herself at the same time. You should call your brother and ask him to bail you out.”
Tyler scowled. “Is it so hard for you to
come to the police station?.”
“Go ask your brother.”
Seeing how Tyler changed his attitude within a second, Sonia frowned and
remained silent. Just as she was about to
hang up. Tyler hung up before her.
Toby’s brother is looking for you?” Charles asked as he caught quite a number of keywords from the conversation.
“I heard Toby has made reservations at the
Sheraton Hotel. He even invited Tina‘s
family to have dinner with his parents to plan the day of their engagement again. Shouldn’t his brother be together with them at the hotel? Why is he at the police
station?”
“He probably committed some crime and
got detained.” With a calm look, Sonia
pursed her lips. “He wants me to bail him
out.”
Charles sneered, “Does he think you and
Toby are still married? How could he still
order you around like this? His character is
exactly the same as his mother’s!”
When they arrived at the car park and were about to get into the car, Sonia suddenly asked, “How long will one be detained in
the police station normally?”
“Depends on what crime they committed. If it’s causing an affray, they will be
detained for around 15 days if no one bails them out,” Charles answered and looked at
Sonia in resignation. “Are you thinking of
going to get him?”
“He doesn’t dare to call Toby, which shows
that he must have committed something
serious.” Sonia got into the car. Til go take
a look.”
Charles bent down and knocked on the
car’s window with a sulky look. “Are you
abandoning me for the sake of your ex
husband’s brother?”
However, Sonia ignored him and drove out
of the basement car park.
While on the way to the police station, Sonia recalled the conversation with
Charles at the car park just now, and she
hated herself for being soft-hearted at that
moment. She had decided to let things go,
yet here she was on the way to help when
his brother was in trouble.
After arriving at the police station, Sonia
mentioned Tyler’s name, and the
policewoman led her in. Soon, she saw a
row of youngsters in school uniforms
standing by the wall. Everyone looked
disheveled with serious injuries on their
faces.
“Tyler Fuller.” The policewoman called upon Tyler, who was standing among the youngsters. Your sister- in-law is here to
pick you up.”
Tyler immediately lifted his head. His eyes
lit up for a second when he saw Sonia, but he soon pouted and snorted. “You b*tch, I knew you would come.”
Sonia looked at him calmly and said,
“What did you just call me?”
With her hair tied up into a ponytail, she
looked gentle and elegant in her black
coat, but her tranquil gaze actually sent a
chill down Tyler’s spine.
The two of them looked into each other’s
eyes for a moment before Tyler spat
through gritted teeth, “So-nia.”
Sonia was jutused seeing Tyler‘s aggrieved look. She didn’t sign the bail bond immediately but asked him, “Why did you get into a fight with the others?”
Tyler kept quiet
Just then, one of them from the row of youngsters who were standing at the
corner of the wall yelled at Tyler, “Hey Tyler, I heard your sister-in-law has already divorced your brother. How can you be so shameless to ask her to come bail you out? Ha! You’re just like your mother,
ordering people about impudently.”
“I think his mother must have mistaken his
gender when she gave birth to him!”
Tyler’s eyes became bloodshot upon being
nrovoked by the few vounasters’ mock. He
provoked by the few youngsters’ mock. He had an impulse to dash toward them and give them a punch in their faces.
Nonetheless, Sonia quickly grabbed his uniform. “Are you actually thinking of
causing a ruckus in the police station? Do
you want me to call your brother?”
Worried that Sonia would really call Toby,
Tyler pulled his arm away from Sonia with a dark face without allowing the latter to
touch his uniform.
After signing the bail bond for Tyler, Sonia
glanced at the other youngsters at the
corner of the wall and said to the police
officer, “It’s normal for kids to have fights.
I’ll bail the others out too, it’s just a small
matter and it’s not necessary to trouble
their parents.”
The police office understood that the youngsters were from the same school and they would have one less case to
worry about if the fellows were released
earlier, so the officer agreed. As such, Sonia signed the bail bonds for the other
youngsters too.
On the other hand, Tyler had never thought Sonia would do this. His blood boiling, he scowled at Sonia, “Are you crazy? Why are you bailing them out too?!”
Tyler glanced at the youngsters in front of
him and mumbled sulkily, “I could have
won if there were only three of them, but
then another two came.”
*That means you didn’t.” Sonia darted a
glance at him. “I thought you were all high
and mighty!”
Hearing that, Tyler was rendered
speechless ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
After coming out of the police station,
Sonia followed behind the few youngsters
at an unhurried pace, which made Tyler
confused. Just as he caught up with Sonia
after hesitating for a while, Sonia suddenly
hit the back of one of the youngsters with
her handbag, causing the fellow to wall in
pain.
Seeing Sonia daringly hit their friend, the
other fellows quickly surrounded her.
Sonia yelled at Tyler, who was
dumbfounded, “What are you waiting for?
Come and beat them up! Didn’t you say
you’re able to defeat three of them?”
Upon regaining his composure, Tyler quickly rolled up his sleeves and darted
Over
Sonia dragged two of the youngsters away. so it was a plece of cake for Tyler to deal with the other three. In no time, all the youngsters were beaten to a pulp. At the same time, there were more injuries on Tyler too, and he grimaced in pain as he had received a punch in his right cheek.
Sonia straightened her disheveled hair and
said to the few youngsters who were
knocked to the ground. “I’m giving you
guys mercy by asking him to beat you all
1. up. If I were the one to deal with you guys,
I can make you guys stay in the juvenile
detention center for three months-mark
my words”
She said the scariest words in a calm tone, which caused the few youngsters who were still students to wimp out and didn’t dare to utter a word anymore
“Get up.” Sonia said and pointed at Tyler who was standing next to her. “Apologize to him.”
The few youngsters quickly stood up and apologized to Tyler. After that, they ran away immediately upon Sonia’s dismissal,
Tyler looked at Sonia’s side profile with
mixed emotions. Back then, when Sonia
asked Toby to marry her, Tyler had thought
that she had indirectly broken up Toby and
Tina. Hence, he had treated her with
hostility all this while and picked on her
when she was still in the Fuller Family
However, he had seen a different Sonia at
the bar last time, and today. It seems like she isn‘t that bad after all
“I heard Toby and your sister-in-law-to-be are at Sheraton Hotel. It’s up to you whether you want to go home or go to the hotel.” Sonia took out some cash and
shoved it to Tyler.
Then, she walked toward the driver’s seat.
Just as she was about to get into the car,
she heard one of the car’s doors being opened and closed shortly after that.
Looking at Tyler, who was sitting in the
passenger seat, Sonia tried to keep her
shirt on. “Tyler Fuller, go hail a cab. I have
no time to send you back.”
“I’m not going back. I’m going to sleep in
passenger seat, Sonia tried to keep her shirt on. “Tyler Fuller, go hail a cab. I have no time to send you back.”
“I’m not going back. I’m going to sleep in your car!” Tyler was yelling so loud that th wound at the corner of his mouth was tori
and he scrunched his face in pain.
“Get out. Toby and I have already divorced.”
However, Tyler remained still in the
passenger seat and snorted, “An ex-sister
in-law is a sister-in-law too. I’ve already
addressed you anyway.”
