Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494 Jessica’s Intentions

“We found out that the person of interest, Miss Jessica, arrived in Seafield the day before today. She has been staying in Hilton Hotel since then, and she was in her room for the entire time until yesterday afternoon, when she headed out to visit Paradigm Co. and Marina City for a while. After that, she went back to the hotel, and she hasn’t left since then.” The detective reported all of his findings.

Sonia knitted her brows. “Are you saying that she stayed in the hotel for most of her trip?”

“Yeah.” The detective nodded. Sonia lowered her gaze as her expression darkened. That’s not right. That doesn’t sound like Jessica at all. A nicer description of Jessica would be that she’s a lively and outgoing person, while a harsher way to describe her would be that she’s a busybody who can’t seem to sit still when she’s at home. Based on Sonia’s understanding of Jessica, Sonia was certain that Jessica wouldn’t be able to stay in the hotel for such a long time.

Furthermore, the places that Jessica had visited one day ago were Paradigm Co. and the area where the Reed Residence used to be located. It was impossible for Jessica to return to Seafield just so that she could visit these two spots. Sonia narrowed her eyes as she continued questioning the detective. “Can you see what she’s doing in her hotel room?”

“I’m afraid not. Hilton Hotel has pretty strict rules about ensuring their customer’s privacy. If she doesn’t step out of her room, I won’t be able to tell what she’s doing,” the detective explained as he shook her head. Sonia wasn’t disappointed with his answer as she had expected this to be the case. She only asked the question to try her luck. Who knows; the detective might have some tricks up his sleeve, right? She didn’t feel dejected despite not being able to gather such information on Jessica.

“You can’t tell what she’s doing in the room, but I’m sure you can find her check-in details, right?” Sonia asked again.

“Yeah, of course,” the detective replied without any hesitation.

“Great. In that case, I’d like to know if she’s staying alone or if she’s staying with another person,” Sonia uttered.

“She’s alone. I checked her booking details—she booked the room for one person. Also, apart from the hotel staff, no one else has entered her room in the past few days,” the detective answered.

Suspicion flickered in Sonia’s gaze. What’s going on? Didn’t Sandra come back with her? The detective continued speaking while Sonia was still puzzled over the situation. “By the way, Miss Reed, I also found out that Jessica got the hotel staff to help her purchase a flight ticket from the airport this morning.”

“A flight ticket?” Sonia leaned her body forward. “Is she going to leave Seafield?”

“Yes,” the detective replied. “I went to ask about it when the hotel staff returned from the airport. Jessica told the staff to buy a flight for today at 4.00PM, to the Republic of Mesania.”

Toby squeezed his brows tighter together before he tore his glare away from Charles. “Please go on,” he uttered to the foreign guests who were sitting with him. The other person naturally continued with their topic after hearing Toby’s instructions.

The social event ended about an hour later. Toby had managed to plan out a few collaborative projects with a few different big shots from overseas, and they were all satisfied with the arrangements. They had drunk a few bottles of wine to celebrate this, and it was late at night by the time they were done drinking.

Most of the foreign guests were staying in the same hotel, so the only people who had to leave the location were Toby, Charles, and their respective partners. Toby didn’t pay any attention to Lily as he parted his legs to stride toward the hotel’s exit. Charles walked with Daphne behind them, and he clicked his tongue when he saw what Toby was doing. “Toby sure is cold toward his female partner. If he doesn’t want Lily as his partner, why did he ask her in the first place?”

“I have no idea,” Daphne replied as she shook her head. Lily could hear both of them talking behind her. She bit her lip in anger and shame before she clutched onto her expensive handbag and hastened her footsteps to go after Toby, her heels clicking on the floor. “Wait for me, President Fuller!”

Toby walked on as if he couldn’t hear her at all. He only slowed down when he walked out of the revolving door at the exit. He pulled his phone out to get Tom to send his car over. When Lily caught up with him, she heaved a sigh of relief as she saw that he had stopped at the exit. She stopped a few feet behind him to fix her messy hair because she wanted to look her best when she was talking to him. She had to get him to change his mind about canceling the partnership.

However, the revolving door behind Lily spun suddenly, and the door hit her back as she had been standing too close to it. She felt her body being pushed forward without any control, and fear spread across her face as she realized she was about to fall. However, at the very next moment, she realized that Toby was standing just in front of her. The fear disappeared from her expression and was replaced with excitement and desire.
