Ch. 1421..1430

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1421-The police officer came from a reputable family. His family was also involved in politics, and their base of operations was in Westsanshire.

With that police officer protecting Henry, how could Henry possibly be defeated?

Even though Henry was arrested at the time, it wasn't long before he was released.

Titus was not willing to accept this. Henry had taken the life of his daughter, a precious human life that hadn't even had a chance to open her eyes to see the world.

Why was it that Henry had killed his daughter but was only held for a few days before being released?

Therefore, he hated Henry and vowed that he would not rest until he avenged his daughter. Between him and Henry, only one could survive. He eventually accomplished this, but he never imagined that his daughter was still alive and had been raised by Henry!

Yes. If you didn't know, you would indeed have reason to hate him. That year, before implementing his plan, Henry found that police officer and told him about his plan. At the time, that police officer didn't agree to it. However, after Henry begged him earnestly, he eventually agreed. This was only because that police officer had once owed Henry a favor. Afterward, the plan was carried out smoothly. Henry lured you to the river with a toy and then threw the toy into the river to make you think that your child had died. This achieved his goal of revenge against you and also allowed him to completely make Sonia his daughter. Later, that police officer arrested Henry for a few days and risked losing his job to release him.

So, that's what happened! Julia whispered repeatedly.

Titus didn't say anything and lowered his head while lost in thought.

Toby continued, "With Sonia's company, Henry's wife made a full recovery, and he also gradually accepted Sonia and treated her as his daughter. The name Sonia was specially chosen by him after searching many dictionaries. It represented beauty, wisdom, and happiness. He hoped that she would grow up to become a beautiful, wise, and happy woman in her future life. This showed how much hope he had for her."

So what? Titus gritted his teeth. "Do I have to thank him for that? I didn't ask him to steal my daughter, and she doesn't need him to raise her. I love my daughter, and she will only be happier living with me than with the Reed Family. The love I give to my daughter will be more than what Henry gave her."

Julia also looked at Toby with anger. "Yes, we don't need him to raise our daughter. He stole our daughter, separating our family for over twenty years. We will only hate him more instead of being grateful to him."

Toby was not angry either as he smirked. "Are you sure you shouldn't be thanking Henry? First of all, don't forget that you were the ones who went after Henry, causing his employees to die and almost causing Paradigm Co. to go bankrupt. Henry only took Sonia to get revenge on you. He was not wrong. In fact, he raised Sonia as his daughter and made her into the beautiful woman she is today. Have you ever thought that if you hadn't gone after Henry, would he have taken Sonia? If he hadn't taken Sonia, she would definitely grow up with you. However, under your excessive pampering, do you think that the current Sonia will not become Tina?"

This sentence completely stunned Titus and Julia.

He was right. If Sonia had grown up with them, she would have become just like Tina under their doting love.

Tina was an example.

They loved Tina because they treated her as a replacement for their daughter and as a source of comfort for their hearts, which was why they pampered her so much.

In fact, they were well aware that raising Tina like that was bad and that they were not perfect themselves.

But, so what? Tina was not their biological daughter, to begin with. They raised her for emotional comfort, so even if she turned out to be bad, it wouldn't matter to them.

However, just the thought of them raising Sonia like that was unacceptable.

This showed that they still had a moral compass and could differentiate good from bad, and right from wrong.

Their marriage had reached a point where they couldn't change their thinking. But they still hoped that their child could be happy and kind.

So, they really couldn't imagine what it would be like if Sonia grew up by their side and became like Tina.

Looking at the reaction of Titus and Julia, Toby sneered and said, "It seems you realized that it's not good if Sonia becomes like Tina, so shouldn't you thank Henry?"

Titus tightly clenched his fists and wanted to say that he would never thank Henry in this lifetime, but the words were stuck in his mouth.

At this moment, Julia suddenly walked toward Toby.

Lia. Titus saw this and quickly stopped her. "What are you doing?"

She turned around and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Titus, you know I miss our daughter. Even though Taylor pretended to be Rina and returned to our side, I have never accepted her in my heart and have never treated her as my daughter. I didn't know what was going on before. I thought I was too cold as a mother. She was my long-awaited child. We were simply separated for over twenty years, but how could I have no feelings for my daughter? So, in these past few months, I've been blaming myself. Only now did I realize that it wasn't that I don't have any feelings for my daughter; I just don't have feelings for someone who isn't my own daughter. Do you know what happened just now when I heard that Sonia is my daughter? My heart was racing; I was so happy because I finally knew who my real daughter is."

Titus' lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

As a husband, he knew exactly how his wife had been feeling these past few months.

In fact, he was no different from his wife in this regard.

Although his reaction wasn't as severe as his wife, he couldn't get close to Rina either as he always felt that something was off, but he just couldn't figure out what was wrong until now when he realized that they lacked blood ties.

Without blood ties, it was inevitable that something was missing.

Toby… Julia stood in front of Toby and she was eager as she looked at him. "Tell me, how is Rina—"

Her name is Sonia, he corrected her.

Her expression immediately became sad.

After all, Rina was the name she had chosen during her pregnancy, but now she couldn't call Sonia that anymore.

However, Julia also knew that they owed Rina too much and didn't have the right to call her by that name.

268624

Okay, Sonia. How is she now? she asked, clasping her hands tightly together.

Titus also stared at Toby with a tight gaze. It was clear that he wanted to know the answer.

Even though they were ashamed to face their daughter, they really loved her.

As parents, how could they not be agitated and nervous when they heard that their daughter nearly miscarried and lost her life?

Moreover, the person that had caused their daughter harm was raised by them.0

0

They raised two adopted daughters and both of them had hurt their biological daughter.

Even they as parents treated her the same way.0

They were really unqualified and not worthy to be Sonia's parents!

She's fine for now, and the baby is safe, Toby replied calmly as he looked at Julia.

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1422 -After hearing that the child was okay, Julia first breathed a sigh of relief. However, she soon realized something and asked again, "For now, you say? Does that mean Sonny is not out of danger yet?"

Titus' expression became even tenser.

Without confirming or denying, Toby raised his chin and replied, "Yes, her body is in a very bad state. She shouldn't have gotten pregnant at this time, but she coincidentally became pregnant. Therefore, she had to stay in the hospital to nurture the baby. Originally, she only needed to stay in the hospital for three to four months, and when the fetus was completely stable, she could be discharged and recuperate at home. But thanks to what Taylor did, Sonia's health was affected greatly. For the next ten months, she could only lie in bed until she gave birth. Furthermore, this may be our last child."

In other words, Sonia could no longer have children after this incident.

Julia was given a big blow and stumbled back two steps. "How could this be…"

Titus was also very upset.

But more than anything, they were happy that Sonia and their grandchild were safe.

Did Sonny inherit my chronic kidney failure? At this point, he thought of something important and stared at Toby as he asked.

His kidney failure was caused by genetic inheritance.

Therefore, he suffered from oligospermia and the chances of him having children in his lifetime was close to nil. It was only because of sheer luck that he had Sonia as his daughter.

Now, what he feared the most was that she also inherited his kidney failure.

When Julia heard this, she also became very nervous. "That's right, Toby. Tell us. Did Sonny …"

No. Toby shook his head. "When you were diagnosed with kidney failure, I was worried that Sonia might inherit it, so I had Dr. Lancaster perform a thorough checkup on her, and we also checked the family medical history of the Gray Family. We found out that Gray Family's kidney failure only passes down to males and is a direct male inheritance. The females and their children won't inherit it."

In other words, the disease was passed down from the grandfather to the father, and the father to the son.

However, the grandfather's daughter would not inherit it, and her children would not inherit it either.

At this, Titus and Julia were overjoyed. "Great. That's great."

Titus, Sonny didn't inherit it. She looked at him excitedly.

He nodded. "Yeah, thank goodness."

All along, he had felt that life was not fair to him. Why did he have to suffer from such a disease?

But now, when he heard that his daughter did not have the disease, he suddenly felt relieved.

In fact, it was comical because he didn't care whether Taylor inherited it before he knew that Sonia was his daughter.

Now that he knew Sonia was his daughter, he suddenly became very concerned about whether she inherited the disease.

It showed that in his heart, he rejected Taylor like Julia. Although he treated Taylor well, he wasn't really concerned about her. Only now, with his real daughter, had all of his fatherly love been fully expressed.

Things that were not thought of in the past were now considered.

Taylor went to find Sonia just to ask her to abort the child and donate her kidney to save your life, Toby added.

Julia's face immediately turned ugly. "How dare she!"

Even though she knew that Taylor did this to save her husband, so what?

Taylor dared to scheme against Sonia. Julia would never forgive her for this.

After all, that was her long-awaited daughter. She had been thinking about her for more than twenty years.

Titus was equally angry. He looked at Toby and said, "So, you have captured her, right?"

That's right. She attempted to take my wife's life. I naturally cannot let her go, Toby answered expressionlessly. "My wife's health was poor in the first place. If she were to abort the child and donate one of her kidneys, she would lose her life. Therefore, I will deal with such a person properly. I came here today not only to tell you these things but also to find out your stance on this matter."

What do you mean? Titus narrowed his eyes.

Toby calmly met his gaze. "I want to know what your reaction will be after knowing that Sonia is your daughter. Will you continue to hold a grudge against her, or will you let go of your hatred and make amends with her?"

Of course, we'll make it up to her. Before Titus could reply, Julia said agitatedly, "I have been looking forward to her arrival my entire life. But now that she's here, I have yet to play my role as a mother. I haven't been a part of her growth and have even allowed my two adopted daughters to harm her repeatedly. My husband and I have also caused harm to her by speaking ill of her. As her mother, I owe her an apology, and I must compensate her with all that I have. No mother would ever hate their own child."

Titus felt the same way as he closed his eyes and expressed his pain. "I understand your intentions. As a child who grew up trapped between the enmity of the Reeds and the Grays, once she learns her true identity, she will collapse."

Anyone would empathize with matters like this.

Sonia was taken away from them by Henry when she was young and grew up by his side.

Henry cherished her like a precious gem by raising her into a child with good values and morals. She didn't even know her own identity when she was a child and always believed that she was the daughter of the Reeds.

Even when she later found out that she was not the biological daughter of the Reeds but rather a child that Henry had adopted, her dependence and gratitude toward him only grew stronger. She felt like a child abandoned by her own biological parents but was brought back and raised by him. This act of kindness was enough to make Sonia loyal to the Reeds, and naturally, she would hate their enemies even more for harming Henry and the Reeds.

However, should Sonia, in the midst of enacting revenge for the Reeds, suddenly discover her enemy was actually her biological parents, her world would probably collapse, a mental breakdown awaiting her.

If she had inherited their heartless genes, perhaps she wouldn't be too affected by it. She might even give up on seeking revenge and return to acknowledge her biological parents.

However, she did not inherit their evil side. On the contrary, she was very kind-hearted.

So, she couldn't let go of her hatred toward the Gray Family and couldn't help seeking revenge for the Reeds either because she knew to be grateful.

Concurrently, the Gray Family was her biological family, so she couldn't really hurt them. Otherwise, her hands would be stained by the blood of her biological parents.

If she did that, she would continue to suffer in pain for the rest of her life, and never attain happiness.

So, to completely avoid facing these problems, it was highly likely that she would choose to escape.

As for how to escape to completely avoid facing them, it had to be death.

When Titus thought that his daughter might do this, he became agitated as his breathing became rapid.

At the sight of this, Toby continued, "It seems that you've figured out what Sonia may have to face after this. This is the purpose of my coming here to tell you. If you really love her and want her to have a good future, you should know what to do. The hatred between the Reeds and Grays was instigated by you unilaterally. Even if Henry retaliated against you, he had not actually succeeded in revenge. He raised Sonia and taught her well. You should've been thankful to him. But in the end, you forced him to commit suicide. Even the two daughters, whom you raised, almost killed Sonia several times. You owe Sonia too much. If you really want to make it up to her, there is only one chance now. I hope you'll make the right choice."

After finishing his sentence, he turned around and left.

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1423-Julia still wanted to persuade him and ask about Sonia.

Knowing that Sonia was their daughter, she wanted to know about Sonia's past and all her experiences growing up.

She even wanted to be by Sonia's side immediately, hold her in her arms, and express the longing she had for Sonia for more than twenty years.

She really wanted to hug her daughter, but she also knew that both Sonia and Toby hated them.

They had no right to keep Toby and ask about everything concerning Sonia.

Sob... Julia cried uncontrollably.

Titus leaned against the headboard and felt it was ridiculous and ironic. "Maybe luck is not even on my side, which is why I'm having the karma after more than twenty years," he said hoarsely after he coughed several times.

Julia raised her head and looked at him. "Titus—"

It's all my fault. Titus blamed himself as he pounded his chest. "If I hadn't been jealous of Henry, if I had restrained myself, none of this would have happened today. It's my fault. If I hadn't been so evil as to steal Henry's company secrets, his employees wouldn't have committed suicide, and he wouldn't have stolen our daughter. It's because of karma that Henry successfully stole Rina, let Rina become his daughter, and had us find out the truth only after more than twenty years. It was all for the sake of ruining me."

She hugged him. "Titus."

The couple wept in despair.

The doctors and nurses outside the door didn't know whether to come in or not.

Lia, we owe it to Sonia. It's us who have caused her to be in this state today, Titus repeated.

With her eyes closed, Julia nodded in despair. "I know, I know we've wronged her."

So… I want to do something for her. He squinted at her.

She hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do?"

He exhaled heavily. "It's already clear why Toby came today. He hopes that I choose to die on my own."

Julia's face changed dramatically as she held Titus tightly. "No, you can't! I won't allow you to do that."

He gently patted her back. "Lia, you know Toby's intention, and you also understand that there's no hope for me. The only hope to save me is to use Sonia's kidney, but she is our daughter. Do you really want her to use her kidney to save me?"

I… Julia couldn't find the words to say and loosened her grip on him.

Titus smiled. "Not only you, but I also don't want her to do that. She's my only child and the continuation of my life. I love her so much. How could I let her do this? Besides, she's pregnant with our grandchild. For all these reasons, we can't let her do this. Otherwise, we would be selfish as parents. Besides, we owe her in the first place. We have no right to ask her to save me."

But… I don't want you to go. Julia was full of despair.

Titus was quite accepting of his situation. "You know, I've gotten tired of all this. Throughout my whole life, I've constantly been jealous of others and have done nothing but scheme against others. But in the end, I got nothing out of it, except for this battered, crumbling shell of a body. The only reason I ended up like this now is retribution for what I did in the past. I paid the price for what I did. In fact, I can see everything clearly now. Toby is right. I should be grateful to Henry. He raised and taught our daughter so well. Had our daughter grown up under our care, she would've turned out like Tina. Would she have a good ending then? I think not."

Julia couldn't refute his statement.

Tina ended up with such a fate, let alone their daughter.

Moreover, if Sonia grew up under their care, would Toby still fall in love with her?

Would Toby still protect her if she got herself into trouble by then?

Definitely not!

Their daughter would face imprisonment.

Lia, Sonia is in a lot of pain now. On the one hand, she's bearing the hatred of the Reeds, and on the other hand, she's also bearing the pressure we have put on her as her biological parents. If she couldn't avenge the Reeds, she'd feel indebted to them. But if she avenges them, it means she has to deal with us, her biological parents. She'll be even more miserable. She's caught between a rock and a hard place, feeling suffocated. And the best solution right now is for me to pass away.

Titus gently stroked her hand. "Even if we got Sonia to donate her kidney, the surgery may not be successful. The doctor said it himself. My body can't even handle the surgery. Even if it could, I don't want my daughter to exchange her life for mine. I am destined to die. If my death can make Sonia completely let go of her hatred for us, it's worth it then. We love our daughter so much. Do we want to see her hating us forever?"

Julia shook her head.

Of course not!

No mother could accept their daughter hating them.

That's the point. So, this is the only thing we can do for Sonia. If she can't let go of her hatred, it's not good for her either. She will forever be immersed in the pain of the feud between the Reeds and the Grays. We have done so many things to hurt her. It's time for us to do something for her. Don't forget, when she was in your womb, we made a vow to make our daughter healthy and happy for her entire life. But in reality, we didn't fulfill that promise. We only brought her hatred and pain. We're not qualified as parents. Now, we should fulfill that promise, Titus said.

Julia couldn't stop crying.

He hugged her. "And maybe after doing this, Sonia will be willing to accept us and recognize us as her parents. Although I may no longer be around at that time, you must live well, watch her give birth to her child, watch our grandchild grow up, and then tell her and our grandchild that I wasn't someone good, but I truly loved them."

She was sobbing her heart out.

Then, he patted her shoulder. "Okay, stop crying. Bring me my phone."

What are you doing? she asked with a choked voice.

I'm calling the lawyer, Titus said. "I need to amend the will. Originally, I thought Taylor was our daughter, so I've already made a will to give everything to her, except for the portion that I left for you."

Out of guilt, he had divided his property into three parts, one of which was for Julia as retirement savings.

The other two portions were given to Taylor.

Thinking about the first twenty years of their marriage where they didn't provide her with any fatherly or motherly love and made her suffer, he left most of his inheritance to Taylor, hoping that she wouldn't have to worry about money in the future.

After all, they owed her, and the only compensation they could offer was money.

But now, they knew that Taylor wasn't their daughter, but Sonia. Therefore, he had to change his will accordingly.

Julia had no objection to this, but when she heard that nothing would be left for Taylor, she still turned soft-hearted. "Titus, we should leave something for Taylor. After all, she has been with us for so long and has brought us a sense of familial happiness. How about three hundred thousand as compensation? Besides, this time, she only got caught by Toby for trying to save you."

268626

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1424-After dwelling on it for a while, Titus finally agreed to Julia's words and gave Taylor three hundred thousand. As for the rest, except the part given to Julia, he changed the ownership of all his properties, including Triforce Enterprise, to Sonia.0

0

The authorities were still investigating the incident that happened in the mine cave that year. He knew that the moment the cat was out of the bag, Triforce Enterprise would face the greatest blow and two-thirds of the company property might be lost.

However, if the remaining one-third of the company was integrated into Paradigm Co., it would bring gigantic help to Paradigm Co. and might even help Paradigm to be listed again. As Sonia's father, it was the only thing that he could give her.0

Titus hung up the call after he revised his will with the help of the lawyer on the other end of the phone. After that, he called Toby.

Toby was on his way back to the hospital. When his phone rang, he found that it was a call from Titus, but he was not surprised at all and immediately picked up the call. "Seems like you've made up your mind, President Gray."

Yes, I have. I want the best for my daughter, but I want to see her before that, Titus requested.

Julia also clenched her fists nervously. After all, Sonia was their daughter. Of course, they wanted to see her.

Even Toby felt that Titus' request was reasonable. After a pause, he replied, "I came to see you guys without her knowledge today. So, I've got to tell her the truth if you want to see her. However, it's up to her whether she wants to meet you guys or not."

Okay, just tell her. Titus nodded.

Toby hummed in assent before hanging up the call.

Tom, who was driving, asked, "President Fuller, did Titus come around? Will he go through with it?"

Toby massaged his temple briefly. "Yes, he will. His love for Sonia is real."

I didn't expect he would accept the fact that Miss Reed is his daughter so soon. I thought that there was still hatred and misunderstanding between them. As much as Titus yearns for a daughter, he wouldn't have accepted Miss Reed so soon. Surprisingly, I underestimated him, Tom elaborated while driving.

On the other hand, Toby opened his thin lips and responded lightly, "It's very simple. It's because he wasn't supposed to have a child at all. It's a miracle that he got Little Leaf as his daughter, so he'll adore this daughter of his vehemently. Even if a grudge exists between them, he won't mind, because all he's concerned about is having a daughter."

If I were in his shoes, I might have done the same thing. After all, it's natural for a father to love his child. Although his child holds a grudge against him, it's all because of what the parents had done. So, the child can't be blamed.

Well, Miss Reed is rather lucky. Tom sighed. "She bumped into two sets of parents who treated her well. It's just that we're all at the mercy of fate."

Toby was noncommittal. Yeah, we're all but fools at the hands of destiny.

President Fuller, do you think she will agree to meet them? Tom raised another question.

He looked out of the window. "Umm… I don't know. It depends on her, but I'll support her regardless of her decision."

After that, they fell into silence, and no one spoke. Toby leaned against the seat and gently closed his eyes to rest for a while.

When Tom saw that from the rearview mirror, he turned on the car's active noise cancellation to let him have a better rest.

They soon arrived at the hospital.

Toby opened his eyes without waiting for Tom to wake him up. It was clear that he was not asleep. After he alighted from the car, he entered the hospital and headed toward the ward. However, he heard Sonia talking to a man when he reached the door. Upon listening closely, he realized it was Zane's voice.

Consequently, his face swiftly became dull as he entered the ward. "Why are you here?"

Zane sat beside the bed while munching an apple. When he heard Toby's interrogation, he immediately turned around and waved at Toby happily. "Hey, you're back." He behaved as if he was the master of that ward.

Therefore, Toby's expression turned more hideous as he repeated his question. "I asked you why you're here."

Zane quickly finished munching the apple and threw the core into the trash can before he answered, "Of course, I came to see Sonia. If not, what else could I be here for?"

Sonia covered her mouth and chuckled.

Toby walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. After that, he pulled her into his arms as if he was claiming his ownership over her. "How did you know we're here? If I'm not mistaken, I didn't announce it or tell others that we're here, did I?"

Yes, you kept it a secret, but I could make calls. Zane smiled at Sonia. "I called Sonia after I came home from the investigation trip to eat with her. However, she told me that she went abroad with you, so it was postponed. Now that you guys are back, surely we've got to meet up, so I called her again. Then, she told me that she can't go anywhere because she's been hospitalized. That's why I came."

Toby looked at Sonia. "Why didn't you tell me he's here?"

He's not a stranger but your friend, so I didn't tell you. She smiled at him.

He snorted and said disdainfully to Zane, "All right, you can leave now that you've met her."

Zane's lips twitched slightly. "Oh, please. I just got here, and it hasn't even been ten minutes. Why are you driving me away already?"

It's long enough, and you're disturbing our rest. Okay, leave. While talking, Toby stood up and yanked Zane from the chair before he pushed him out of the ward.

Although Zane was left with no other option but to leave, he turned around and said to Sonia, "Okay, I'll go now, but I'll come and visit you again."

Okay, goodbye. She waved goodbye at him.

Toby's face became even darker when he saw that. At last, he pushed Zane out of the ward.

Consequently, Zane nearly slammed into the opposite wall. He turned around and gave him the finger. "Toby, you're not playing by the rules."

You're one to talk. What's the big deal, coming to see my wife without my permission? Toby demanded coldly.

Pursing his lips, Zane replied, "It's not like I'm gonna do anything to her."

Well, glad we're on the same page. I didn't do anything to you either. I merely drove you out. Toby stood at the door with his tall and sturdy figure, as if he was a guardian.

Zane rolled his eyes. "Fine, I can't outspeak you." He smoothed his clothes before putting on a serious look. "Toby, I came here to visit Sonia and see you about something. Is Taylor with you?"

Toby narrowed his eyes. "Why are you asking me this? Does it have anything to do with you?"

Of course. Zane looked at him. "You'd better not have forgotten. While it's true that Sonia and I plotted against her, I was the one who found her first. Now that she suddenly went missing and the police aren't taking any action, I'm guessing you're the only one who can stop the police other than officials like me. What exactly do you want?" He wasn't that worried about Taylor, but he was scared that Toby might act recklessly and get into trouble.

Toby pursed his thin lips into a straight line. "I won't keep it a secret from you since you asked about it. Taylor made a big mistake and nearly killed Sonia and the child. So, don't you think I should catch her?"

268627

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1428-Julia quickly urged.

At Julia's urging, Titus' hands shook. He couldn't grip the phone properly, but he still wanted to answer the phone quickly. So, he stretched out his hands to take the phone and put it to his ear. "Hello?"

It's me, said Toby.

Titus' eyes dimmed when he heard his voice.

0

Julia had a similar reaction.0

However, Titus was still rational. He quickly regained his composure and asked, "I know you are calling about what we talked about yesterday, right?"

0

On the other end of the phone, Toby looked down at his wife, unable to discern her expression. He lightly lifted his chin and replied, "Yes, I'm calling to tell you that my wife has agreed to meet with you."

At this, Julia immediately covered her mouth and burst into tears of joy. "Sonny agreed to see us. Titus, did you hear that? Sonny agreed. We… We can see her now… Sob…"

Although Titus didn't say anything, his usually dull eyes turned red with traces of tears in them. "Yes, I did. I heard it."

Titus' trembling voice couldn't conceal his joy and excitement.

After hearing their reaction on the other end of the phone, the usually composed and unemotional Sonia couldn't help but tightly bite her lip. She felt an indescribable sense of envy, fullness, and sweetness in her heart.

Even Toby couldn't help but feel emotional, thinking about how it was all a cruel joke of fate. If Titus hadn't been so bad, if Henry hadn't stolen the child, Sonia would have received as much love from the Gray Family as she had from her own.

Though there was no use thinking about it anymore since all of this was already in the past.

President Fuller, when will S-Sonny come to see us? Titus also followed Julia in addressing Sonia this way.

It was his first time calling her nickname, so there was inevitably some awkwardness and discomfort.

Toby looked at Sonia.

Her gaze fell on her phone, and finally, she said slowly, "Tomorrow."

Titus and Julia heard it.

Julia got too excited and simply took over the phone. "Okay, okay. Tomorrow, then. Sonny, you…"

She was about to ask about Sonia's current situation and her health. But before she could finish her sentence, she realized there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

She quickly checked the phone and realized the call had already been hung up.

Julia put down the phone in disappointment. "They hung up…"

It's okay. Titus held her hand and comforted her. "The child is not used to us yet, and she still can't let go of those things in her heart. It's normal for her not to talk to us. She doesn't know what to say and hanging up also avoids awkwardness. When we meet tomorrow, we will have the chance to talk about many things."

Encouraged by his words, she nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's better to talk face to face, which is more sincere than over the phone. I'm very happy that Sonny finally agreed to meet us. I thought she would never agree."

Yes, if that child can come to terms with this, I'm already satisfied. Titus nodded.

Julia put down the phone. "No, I have to buy some groceries and cook something delicious for her. I've never cooked for her before, so I don't know what she likes to eat. But I saw her buying blueberry cakes before. Since she likes such things, her taste must be similar to mine. I'll just make more of what I like. Titus, I'll buy the groceries myself. You rest here. If there's anything, call the caretaker or me. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, she picked up her bag and hurriedly left with joy.

At the sight of this, Titus couldn't help but smile.

He knew how much his wife loved their daughter. Due to their physical conditions, they thought they would never have a child in their lifetime because they had tried for so many years with no success and had even given up hope. However, one day, the hospital called and told them their IVF had been successful and they could proceed with embryo transfer. No one knew how excited and happy they were at that moment.

Afterward, his wife successfully became pregnant. Every day, she carefully protected their child. She sang to her and even did prenatal education.

As a couple, they eagerly awaited the birth of their child. They had even ordered a gift for her from a jewelry store in advance—a set of mother-daughter necklaces that embodied the father's best and most profound blessings for his daughter's arrival in the world.

Yet, who knew that their daughter would be taken away by Henry just a month after she was born? Since then, Julia's mental state had been greatly affected as she nearly went crazy. Even Titus himself was not in good shape mentally. If it weren't for the need to support the Gray Family and Triforce Enterprise, he might have gone crazy too. After all, she was his only child.

To calm his wife's emotions, he had no choice but to adopt an abandoned baby who was similar in size to their daughter from an orphanage. With the new baby, his wife's mental state did improve significantly, but he knew that his wife's love for Tina, their adopted daughter, was restrained even though she loved her.

Neither had Julia said she would cook for Tina nor did she cook for her, and she had never personally bought clothes for Tina. Julia understood the difference between a biological daughter and an adopted daughter, and she was only willing to give all her maternal love to her biological daughter.

Titus was the same. He knew he was not a good person, and the daughter he raised wasn't either, but he never advised his adopted daughter not to follow in his footsteps and not to become bad. It was only because Tina was not his biological daughter.

If she were his biological daughter, he would never let her become someone like him, because he could protect her while he was alive.

But if he passed away and his daughter had that kind of personality, who could replace him to protect her?

So, while he hated Henry, he also had to admit that Henry had taught his daughter well and shaped her into the kind of person he wanted. Titus wondered whether or not he could ever teach Sonia just as well as he wanted if she had been with him. Perhaps not.

Now, he had finally found his biological daughter, and Julia began to express all of her maternal love for Sonia. When she was pregnant with their daughter, she promised to cook for her, braid her hair, and buy her clothes.

But she never fulfilled those promises for Tina and Taylor after Sonia was stolen. Now, she finally brought up those promises again. The reason was her real daughter was back.

Finally, he saw the happy look on Julia's face again. It was the very same look she had when she first got pregnant with their daughter.

How wonderful.

Titus closed his eyes and smiled happily, but his smile disappeared after a while. Then, he took his phone and made another call. "It's me."

His assistant's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Yes, President Gray."

Go to my villa and bring me the safe from my study, Titus instructed as he massaged his temples.

The safe? The assistant was a little confused.

Titus nodded. "Stop asking so many questions. Just do it."

Okay. The assistant nodded and hung up the phone.

Titus put down his phone and sighed.

It's time to end everything.

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1427 -Sonia bit her lip. "Why would I ask you if I don't want to know the truth?"

Toby chuckled. "That's true. Alright, then I'll tell you my opinion."

Sure. She nodded in agreement.

He looked up at the ceiling. "Honey, I actually think you should go see him."

Sonia's pupils contracted slightly. She never expected his honest opinion to be like that.

Why? She looked at him in confusion. "You know about the grievances, hatred, and the complicated relationship between me and Titus. Why do you think I should see him?"

Because he is your biological father. Toby lowered his gaze from the ceiling back to her face. "Because he is a father who truly loves you. If he doesn't love you and minds that you have been raised by his enemy, of course, you can choose not to see him, but he is not that kind of person. On the contrary, he doesn't mind at all. He only knows that you are his daughter, and he is very happy about it. You should see him just for this reason alone. I believe that, apart from your hatred for him, your feelings for him are also complicated, right?"

He hit the nail on the head when it came to Sonia's feelings. Although she opened her lips, she didn't say anything.

Toby gently stroked her head. "So, go see him. He doesn't have much time left. Of course, I'm not saying that you should acknowledge him as your father. I just hope that you won't have any regrets and won't let yourself regret it in the future."

Why do you think I will regret it? Sonia squeezed her fists.

Because I know you well. You always have a soft heart. Titus is still alive and you cannot let go of the hatred between the Reeds and the Grays. But once he dies, that hatred will naturally disappear, and the pressure on you will be gone. At that time, you may think of him, the father who loved you deeply but never raised you or even hurt you. You will also know that he did not raise but hurt you, all because of the enmity of the past twenty-some years, because you were stolen by someone. But you know full well that if you hadn't been stolen, he would've cherished you like a treasure, and his love for you would never be less than that of Henry, perhaps even more. You will think of these things and regret not seeing him for the last time.

268628

Sonia closed her eyes and cried even harder.

Toby comforted her by patting her back. "Now, now, don't cry. I'm not telling you this to pressure you, but I just hope that you can understand and not have regrets in the future. You don't have to acknowledge him as your father, but you should see him. That way, even if you think of him in the future, you won't regret it."

I… I'll think about it, she said with a choked voice.

Although she knew that he was right, there were too many things between her and the Grays. She couldn't just agree to see Titus immediately after hearing Toby's words.

She had to calm down and listen to the voice of her heart to figure out what she really wanted.0

0

Toby knew what she was thinking, thus reached out and turned off the light. "Okay, that's perfectly fine. There's still time, so take your time, and don't rush. Go to sleep now."

Okay. Sonia nodded.0

The next morning, Titus woke up unusually early.

Julia was surprised to see him awake so early. "Honey, why did you wake up so early?"

Ever since his condition worsened, he had only been awake for three to four hours a day, mostly in the afternoon.

It was very rare for him to wake up so early.

I can't sleep. Titus smiled weakly at her. "I'm waiting for a phone call."

He looked toward the phone placed on the side.

Julia also looked over and instantly understood whom he was waiting for. She became nervous and asked, "Titus, do you think Sonny will come to see us?"

Titus' lips moved slightly. "I don't know. That child is different from us."

He shook his head gently. "We have done many things that had hurt her, and the two foster daughters we raised have also harmed her. So, her hatred toward us will only be much greater than before she knew her identity. Even if she now knows that we are her biological parents, she may not immediately let go of all the resentment and accept us calmly as we hope. So, she may not necessarily meet us. She may still be holding a grudge against us."

She covered her face in pain. "It's all our fault. We didn't protect her and keep an eye on her well enough, so she was taken away by Henry. It's also our fault as parents for not recognizing her earlier. Otherwise, none of this would have happened. Tell me, Titus, why couldn't we recognize our daughter? She looks so much like her grandmother. Why didn't we suspect anything at the beginning?"

Because of Henry. Titus sighed. "Who would have thought that Henry, who hated us so much, did not kill our daughter and chose to raise her well instead?"

If it were him, he would never do what Henry did and bring up the daughter of his enemy as his own.

So, he naturally assumed that Henry was the same way and never thought that she was his own daughter, even though she looked so much like his mother.

After all, many people looked alike in this world.

Titus, what if Sonny doesn't want to see us? Julia was very worried and afraid.

Titus hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.

She wept miserably. "But I want to see her. I want to see my daughter. When I found out Sonny's my daughter, I was so happy. When I faced Taylor, however, I was completely indifferent and calm. But yesterday, I was so excited after learning that Sonny is my daughter. I couldn't sleep all night. I was thinking about meeting her, telling her how much I missed her, how much I love her, and how sorry I am. Titus, I love my daughter so much. I really want to see her and give her all the motherly love I haven't given her in the past twenty years…"

Looking at his wife crying like this, Titus also felt sad.

He also felt the same way as his wife.

However, as a man, he was able to restrain his emotions and reason more than she could.

In fact, only he knew that he didn't sleep well last night either. He also wondered how he could make it up to Sonia as her father if she was willing to acknowledge them.

Would she call him "Dad"?

Titus. At this moment, Julia lowered her hands and looked at him steadily. "If Sonny doesn't want to come and see us, shall we go and see her instead? As parents, we owe her a lot. We should be the ones that take the initiative to do things first, right? I want to see her, give her many gifts, and tell her that I've been preparing clothes and gifts for her all these years. I—"

She was interrupted by the ringing of Titus' phone, which was placed on the bedside table.

Julia quickly looked at the phone. "Is it Sonny?"

It's Toby, Titus replied, holding back his nervousness.

She was disappointed, but a glimmer of hope soon rose again. "It's Toby, that's good too. They're husband and wife, so his phone is also Sonny's phone. Maybe he called to tell us that she agreed to meet us. Quick, Titus, answer the phone."

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1425-Zane's expression changed drastically. "What? She almost killed Sonia and her child? What happened?" He felt like he had received a great blow.

Toby did not beat around the bush and told Zane the ins and outs of the incident.

After that, Zane took a step back in disbelief. "S-Sonia is Titus' daughter?"

That's right. Toby looked at Zane. "Actually, you guys must have long thought about it. You guys should have found something strange with Sonia's identity when we found that the necklace is in her hand. If Henry really killed Rina back then, why did he keep the necklace? Don't tell me it's for commemorative purposes."

Consequently, Zane was struck speechless. Yeah, Sonia has the daughter's necklace. It's very suspicious, but we never dwelled on it for long.

Why did everything turn out this way? His mind was in a state of mess. "No wonder you claimed that Taylor nearly killed Sonia and her child. She must be agitated after she learned the truth about her identity."

No one would remain calm after learning of such information, let alone Sonia, who was pregnant in the first place and not in the pink of health. It was a blessing that she did not die on the spot.

Are the Grays aware of this? After a long pause, Zane finally found his voice and raised an inquiry.

Toby leaned against the cold wall. "Yes, they learned about it today. I went and told them myself."

Why? Zane felt puzzled. "Isn't it enough to let only Sonia learn about it? Why did you tell them?"

Because I want to see Titus' attitude toward Sonia and whether he'll make a choice for her sake.

What do you mean?

Toby looked at him indifferently. "Little Leaf broke down when she learned about her identity because she's tied up in the grudge between the two families, and she's having complicated feelings toward her biological parents. So, she doesn't know whether she should avenge the Reeds. If she doesn't, she wouldn't be able to repay her debt to the Reeds for raising her. If she does, it means that she's going to send her biological parents to prison, but she can't take it either. Being stuck in the middle, it's very likely that she'll try to kill herself just to avoid everything. Even if she doesn't do so, she'll be depressed for the rest of her life until she loses herself. I don't want to see my wife succumb to such a painful end, so I told Titus everything today."

What happened then?

Well… Toby pursed his thin lips. "I wanted to see if Titus will show some fatherly love for Little Leaf after he learned that she's his daughter. If he does, he'll realize how much pain will befall Sonia at the moment. After that, he'll definitely do something to not let Sonia suffer such pain. The thing he must do is give up treatment. If he chooses to die, Sonia's hatred toward the Grays will disappear. She won't think of taking revenge again, and she won't be in pain because of the grudge between the Reeds and the Grays."

Zane finally understood Toby's thoughts, so he nodded. "So, Titus should really know about this. If he dies, everyone will gain peace in the end. This is indeed an excellent resolution, but will Titus agree to it?" That was what he was most worried about. At the end of the day, it was a fact that Sonia was raised by the Reeds.

If Titus felt no fatherly love for Sonia because Sonia was raised by his enemy and hated him to the core, then Toby's scheme would fail. So, the thing he was most worried about was whether Titus had agreed to it or not.

He agreed to it.

Toby's answer made Zane go from anxious to excited all of a sudden. "What? Titus agreed?"

Yeah, that's right. Toby nodded. "After I left Titus' place, he called me and said yes, but he wants to see Sonia before that."

He actually agreed to it. Zane clenched his fists. He was filled with both joy and surprise. "I didn't expect him to accept the fact that Sonia was raised by his enemy, and he's fine with it even though Sonia hates them. He agreed to it so straightforwardly."

It's most probably the only good thing about him. Toby elaborated lightly with pursed lips, "I've got to say that we've underestimated Titus. We always thought that he was a stingy, narrow-minded, envious, and intolerant person. We felt that he has nothing good about him, but surprisingly, he cares about his family so much."

It was what they had expected, but it came as a surprise too.

Well, it worked out in the end. Titus accepting Sonia will only do good for her, but is she aware of it? Zane inquired.268629

Toby shook his head. "I haven't told her yet, but I'm planning to tell her later."

You'd better tell her no matter what. After all, they're her biological parents. Although there are many obstacles between them, and she may choose not to see them as her parents, they're the ones who gave birth to her. She may never see them again if she rejects it this time around.

Well, I know. I'll tell her, but I'll support her no matter what choice she makes in the end, Toby stated lightly.

Zane nodded. "That's true."

0

Okay, I've told you everything. Just go if there's nothing else. Toby started driving Zane away.0

Zane's lips twitched slightly. "Wait, there's one more thing. Let me see Taylor."

0

Why? Toby narrowed his eyes.

Regardless, I was the one who found her and hired her previously. I should see her, and I've got some questions to ask her too, Zane replied.

What kind of questions?

Of course, I want to ask her if she regrets her choice back then. Don't worry. She nearly killed Sonia, after all. I won't let her go.

Toby gave him a firm look. After a while, he beckoned his bodyguard over. The bodyguard then led Zane to Taylor. After that, he closed the door and went back into the ward.

When Sonia noticed that he was back, she put down the phone in her hand. "Did you see him off?"

Yes. Toby walked over and sat on the edge of the bed before he pulled her into his arms. "You're scrolling on your phone again."

I'm bored, and I've got to check my phone because I want to know what happened out there too. Sonia smiled at him.

Toby caressed her face, but he did not intend to take her phone away. Although he disagreed with her action of playing with her phone because of the radiation, she was right. He could not stop her from playing with it because it was just too extreme.

Darling, there's something I want to tell you. Toby hugged her and leaned against the headboard.

She leaned against his chest and stated, "Go on. I'm listening."

I didn't go to the company today. I went to Trifecta Hospital instead, he confessed.

Sonia appeared confused. "Trifecta Hospital? Why did you go there?" Is there anyone receiving treatment there? Was he there for a visit?

He pressed his thin lips together when he noticed her confusion. "Titus is there."

Her eyes narrowed abruptly as she did not expect to hear Titus' name all of a sudden.

Toby could feel her stiffen briefly in his arms, and he sighed. "Darling, please don't get too agitated. Calm down, okay?"

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1429 -Although Titus hadn't committed any crimes in the first two decades of his life, he hadn't done any kindness either. In the next twenty years, he was blinded by his envy and lost his reason. Also, he was unable to withstand the criticism of others who claimed that he could only inherit the family business while his childhood friend was a self-made entrepreneur. Though they had grown up together, he could not beat Henry no matter how hard he tried, and he was never as good as Henry.

Titus could ignore these words the first few times, but after some time, he was unable to accept them any longer. He didn't want to admit that he was not as outstanding as Henry, and he didn't want to admit that he could not compare with Henry in any aspect. Even though he was always better than Henry in their studies when they were young, why were these people saying that he was nothing compared to Henry?

His resentment grew, and as time went by, his envy and hatred turned him into an entirely different person. Particularly, he once found out by chance that one of Henry's subordinates had improved one of their technologies, and once it was spread to the public, Paradigm Co. would completely overtake Triforce Enterprise.

This was undeniably a huge blow to him, and it certainly made him feel threatened. This was because he knew that if he allowed Paradigm Co. to overtake Triforce Enterprise, it would further confirm the fact that he was not a match for Henry.

Hence, he decided to stop Henry from using this piece of technology. Then, he hired someone to bribe the staff so that they would jump ship to Triforce Enterprise with the technology he improved, but the staff was unexpectedly loyal to the core and refused his offer no matter what they said.

Left with no choice, he finally sent someone to steal the piece of technology. As long as Paradigm Co. did not have it, they would never overtake Triforce Enterprise, and the outsiders would have no reason to say that he was nothing compared to Henry.

At first, Titus' plan was going well, but he hadn't expected the staff to be so frail psychologically, and they soon ended their own life. At that moment, he was stunned and panicked as he had never wanted to take anyone's life. He only wanted to steal the piece of technology, and he had never planned to harm anyone, but the staff's death was irreversible.

The death of Paradigm Co.'s staff caused their stocks to take a nosedive, and Paradigm Co. was facing a crisis. To take revenge on him, Henry stole his daughter. At first, he thought that as long as Henry returned his daughter, he would compensate the staff's family regardless of the cost. However, before he could convey his intentions, Henry had thrown his only daughter into the river.

Since then, his heart completely darkened and he had no remorse even if he had caused all of this to happen. Henry could've taken revenge on him using other methods, so why did he set his target on his daughter? Hence, he swore that he would never let Henry off easily for the rest of his life.

Hence, in the past two decades, he continuously tripped Henry over and bribed Henry's wife, Sandra, to poison him so that he would know what true pain felt like.

Other than confronting Henry, Titus fought Paradigm Co. as well. In the end, Henry was unable to withstand his revenge that had lasted over twenty years and coupled with his mental state weakening from the poison, he jumped off a building and took his own life.

Back then, Titus genuinely felt exhilarated as he had avenged his daughter. However, he was no longer able to feel joy after that day, and he didn't even know why his heart constantly felt stuffy.

It was only now that he knew the reason why this happened. He had grown up with Henry as each other's closest friend, so it was impossible for the two not to have any friendship between them.

However, it was all because he was selfish and close-minded that he slowly drifted away from Henry until they eventually became mortal enemies. However, after he had taken Henry's life, he didn't feel the slightest bit of joy that he thought he would feel, and he would even dream of Henry on many nights.

Titus knew that he actually felt guilty toward Henry, but he couldn't admit it. If he did, it would mean that everything he had done was a mistake, and he couldn't accept that, nor would he admit that he was in the wrong.

Hence, he could only continue to deal with the daughter Henry left behind, thinking that he would only lose the effect Henry had on him and stop dreaming about him after he had gotten rid of the entire Reed Family so that he would not see any of them anymore. He firmly believed that his actions were right, and so, after Henry died, he continued to take revenge on Sonia.

The reason why Sonia was picked on by Jean for six years was his doing as well. He had sent someone to whisper lies into her ear, nurturing her hatred for Sonia so that she would make Sonia's life difficult.

However, everything turned out to be a huge joke, for Sonia became his daughter.

Twenty years ago, Henry had not actually taken revenge on him and he had not killed his daughter either. Instead, he raised his daughter into the woman he wanted her to become.

Didn't that show that Henry had always considered him a friend, and other than doing it for Lina's sake, he wasn't able to finish the child off because she belonged to his friend?

Perhaps that was the case. He'd always been soft-hearted since he was young, and he would easily pity others. This wasn't something that Henry couldn't do, but him? Compared to Henry's foolish sympathy, he truly was cold-hearted.

Henry hadn't killed his daughter and even raised her, but he had killed him and even fought with his own daughter. His hands were stained with blood, both from someone who used to be his closest friend and from his daughter.

Perhaps because his end was nearing, the kindness that he had long thrown away was beginning to return, and now his heart was filled with guilt, self-resentment, and regret.

Titus wondered, had he been slightly kinder and more magnanimous, would his friendship with Henry not have ended, and would their daughter grow into the world's happiest girl under their shared affection?

After all, they had made a promise in high school that no matter which one of them had a child in the future, the other would be the child's godfather. Henry had fulfilled that promise, but he failed to keep his. Those outsiders were right—he was not a match for Henry, whether it was their character or their abilities.

Now that his daughter had returned, he knew that he should put an end to everything.

Thinking of that, Titus picked up his phone again and made a call. "Hello? Is this the police? I'm Titus Gray, and I want to confess…"

The call lasted for a long time, and Titus established an agreement of some sort with the police so that they did not immediately send someone over to capture him at the first notice. After all, according to the usual procedure, even if he was currently a patient on his last legs, as long as he confessed his crimes, the police would still show up for him. However, this time, they surprisingly agreed to let him remain in the hospital, and they would only head over after some time.

Moreover, the police did not hide things from Toby, and after ending the call with Titus, they instantly contacted Toby to inform him of the matter.

After finding out, Toby was a little surprised, but it seemed to be within his expectations as well. Titus did love Sonia, enough to choose her over his life. Hence, it wasn't that astonishing that he would confess all of the crimes he had committed.

That's good news. Toby lowered his gaze and muttered.

At the very least, it showed that Titus' conscience had reawakened at his final moments, and it was enough to let Henry rest in peace from now on.

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1426-Sonia remained silent in his embrace for a while before relaxing her stiff body. "I'm not getting agitated. It's just that suddenly hearing that name made me feel complicated."

If this was the past, she would've been filled with hatred upon hearing that name.

Now that she heard the name again after finding out he was her biological father, there was a complicated feeling on top of hatred, and she didn't know how to face the matter.

There was even a sense of avoidance.

If only Titus didn't bear so much affection for his daughter, Rina, she wouldn't have behaved like this. But unfortunately, he…

I know. Toby gently patted Sonia's back.

She held onto the man's clothes tightly. "Why did you go and see him?"

Her intuition told her that he went to see Titus because of her.

As expected, Toby's next response confirmed her guess.

He gently stroked her. "I went to see Titus because of you, so after considering it for a while, I decided to go."

You told him about my identity? Sonia looked at him.

Besides that, she couldn't think of any other reason why he would see Titus. He couldn't just be visiting his father-in-law, could he?

What a joke. If she had complicated feelings toward Titus and didn't want to see him, Toby, who wasn't even blood-related to Titus and had even agreed with those who disliked him, couldn't possibly have a reason to meet him.

So, there could only be one possibility he went to see Titus: he must have told him everything.

Sure enough, under Sonia's gaze, Toby nodded slowly. "Yes, I told him."

Why? She clenched her hands.

Toby did not hide anything and replied directly, "It's better to be straightforward since this matter can no longer be concealed."

And then? Sonia stared at him. "What was their reaction?"

She suddenly wanted to know how the Grays felt when they found out that she was their daughter.

Would they continue to hate her as before, or…

They were glad and happy, Toby answered.

Her eyes trembled. "What? Happy?"

She could hardly believe it.

He nodded. "Yes, they were very happy. To be honest, when I saw their reaction, I was also a little surprised. No matter how much they love their daughter, if they heard that their daughter is the long-time enemy that they have hated, or that she was raised by their enemy, their feelings should be complicated. But, the Grays, well, they weren't in a dilemma for long and merely accepted the fact while being elated. It was especially so for Mrs. Gray as she asked me a lot about you."

Is that so… Sonia opened her mouth, but she spoke with a hoarse voice as she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Is it happiness?

Perhaps there was some happiness, because who wouldn't like to hear that their biological parents had feelings for them?

While she did feel somewhat happy, there was greater pressure on her now, because the more Titus and Julia cared for her, the more she didn't know what to do.

Did you tell her? Sonia asked as she lowered her eyes.

Toby shook his head. "No, I didn't tell her much about you. I only told her you are doing fine now and the child is safe. She's happy and relieved."

I see. She bit her lip, feeling even more uneasy. "Why did you tell them about my identity?"

She wanted to know the answer to this question the most.

He stroked her hair and replied, "Because I want to know how they will feel about you being their daughter and whether they will sacrifice for you or not."

What do you mean? She looked at the man.

He didn't hide anything from her and directly told her his thoughts. "I want to know if Titus will choose to give up his treatment for you. If he really loves you as his daughter, he will understand the pain you are facing and will naturally choose to end his life early to prevent you from being trapped in the feud between the Reeds and Grays, unable to extricate yourself from them and suffering for a lifetime."

What? That's your purpose? You…

Toby pressed his forehead against hers and said, "Honey, please don't think I'm heartless. Titus caused the death of your father, the employees of Paradigm Co., and many people in the mine. He deserves the death penalty, even if he's not sick. Now that he's sick and the disease is incurable, I'm not asking him to commit suicide, but rather to give up treatment and wait for the disease to take him away. It's already a gesture of goodwill. You should understand, right? And this way of dying is also the most dignified way for him."

Sonia was speechless because she knew everything the man said was true.

For all the crimes Titus had committed, he deserves the death penalty. But we're letting him choose to give up treatment and wait for the disease to take him away, which means we're not planning to report him to the police or send him to jail. Instead, we're letting him wait for death on his own. For a person like him who had committed heinous crimes, this is indeed the most dignified way to go. But…

Toby seemed to understand what Sonia was thinking and kissed her hand. "If he really loves you, he will understand that what we're doing is for his own good and to fulfill our filial piety. He should also go along with it to make up for the harm he had caused you in the past."

She closed her eyes as tears started streaming down her face.

268642

Even though she hated Titus in her heart, she was in a dilemma after knowing how much he loved this daughter of his.

Besides, Titus isn't going to live for much longer anyway, Toby added.

She choked up. "I know… I know…"

He agreed, he continued.

What? She looked up at him abruptly. "You mean, he—"0

0

Yes. Toby nodded. "After he knew the reason why I went to see him, he didn't hesitate for long before agreeing. He wants to make it up to you by giving up his life."

H-He really agreed? Sonia asked.0

Really, Toby confirmed. "But he said he wants to see you. Are you willing to see him?"

I don't know. She bit her lip.

If Titus was still just her enemy, she might have agreed to see him. After all, this enemy wouldn't live much longer, and she could see his miserable end.

However, now that Sonia knew Titus was her biological father, a father who loved her dearly at that, she suddenly lacked the courage to see him.

It was because she didn't know if she should meet him as the daughter of the Reeds or the daughter of the Grays.

Even if she met Titus, what kind of attitude should she use to deal with him? The same attitude she had been using in the past, or should she treat him like how she treated Henry?

She figured she couldn't bring herself to do it either.

She simply buried her face in the man's arms, wanting to hide like an ostrich.

Toby wasn't surprised by her reaction. "It's okay not to know. Take your time to think about it. If you want to see him, then see him. If you don't want to, then don't. I'll support you either way."

What about you? Her voice sounded muffled as she spoke up from his embrace. "Do you want me to see him? Should I see him?"

She was eager to hear someone else's thoughts and opinions right now because she didn't want to face it alone. It was too oppressive and overwhelming.

Toby looked at the top of Sonia's head and inquired, "Do you want to know the truth?"

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1430-While she ate from a fruit platter, Sonia heard Toby mumbling in a corner and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Toby, what were you muttering about earlier?"

He placed his phone down and turned around to send her a gentle smile. "Nothing, just something about work."

He decided not to tell her about Titus turning himself in, thinking that it was best to let Titus tell her himself. If he told her, it wouldn't be as sincere as compared to Titus telling her personally.

Upon hearing that it was about work, Sonia nodded and did not question him any further.

Just then, Tom knocked on the door before entering with a large pile of documents that required Toby's signature. Seeing that, Toby pointed at a small office table where he worked, indicating for Tom to leave the documents there.

While he was there, Tom placed the documents down before turning back toward them and sending a nod toward Toby in greeting. "President Fuller."

What is it? Toby asked indifferently as he looked at Sonia's health report.

Meanwhile, Sonia was still holding a platter of slightly sour strawberries and ate from them while looking at Tom.

Tom replied, "Lynette's second trial just ended this morning."

Hearing that, Toby stopped his hand that was flipping through the report.

Sonia placed the fork in her hand down and asked, "Oh, right, looking at the date, today is the day of her trial, but why didn't the court notify us?"

I instructed them not to some time back so that they wouldn't interrupt your rest. Toby placed the documents aside as he replied, "But I ended up forgetting about it myself."

Sonia was amused at his words. "You keep circling around me these days; I'm sure there's a lot you've forgotten."

She then looked at Tom. "This is the final trial, right?"

Yes, Mrs. Fuller. Tom nodded. "This is the final trial, and Lynette's verdict is still the same as the first trial, which is the death penalty. She disagreed and made a fuss, and she even tried to appeal again, but her request was denied."

The court was already being generous by giving her a chance to appeal the hard evidence, so why would they waste their resources to give her a third chance? Toby asked with an apathetic expression, his voice filled with disdain toward Lynette.

Tom nudged his glasses. "You're right, President Fuller. That's why things have been nailed down this time, and the court has already issued an official announcement. After all, many netizens are paying close attention to the outcome of this matter, and after the trial ends, they definitely have to give the public an explanation."

Let me see. Upon saying that, Sonia fished out Toby's phone from his pocket.

Her phone had run out of battery, and Toby refused to help her charge it as she might start playing mobile games out of boredom. As a matter of fact, Toby did not completely forbid her from using her phone, but it was because she would easily lose her restraint from having nothing else to do. That was the real reason why Toby did not charge her phone for her.

However, this time, he only watched as she took his phone without stopping her. Either way, she was just reading the news, so he could take it back from her once she was done.

Sonia excitedly leaned against Toby and turned on his phone to look this incident up on the internet. As expected, the moment she opened the web page, Lynette's case instantly appeared without her searching it up.

Upon seeing the comments filled with the netizens' exhilarated cheers, Sonia smiled, not thinking that they were going overboard in the slightest. What Lynette had done was terrible, and it was impossible for one not to be furious. After all, she had cost many people their lives.

Although the Wallace Family were not good people either, they did not have any grudges against her, and her actions were indiscriminate murder. To the netizens, her character would only get worse. The fact that she indiscriminately murdered people meant that Lynette was a sociopath in nature, and there was no telling if she would unleash a rampage on the streets one day. Hence, the death penalty was the best outcome for someone like Lynette.

Sonia voluntarily returned Toby's phone to him before looking at Tom and asking him, "When is the execution?"

A month later, Tom replied.

That's fast.

The death penalty is carried out immediately. Tom explained, "If not because there are other convicts queueing up before her, she would've been executed even sooner and not a month later."

Sonia nodded, indicating that she understood. "Her parents are probably devastated."

Grayson and Amelia must have taken the hardest blow from this news.

Tom nodded. "Actually, they attended the trial this time. Mrs. Lore couldn't withstand the shock and had a stroke on the spot. She's still being resuscitated in the hospital at the moment. As for Mr. Lore, he didn't seem to be in his right mind either, and it looked like he's gone a little off the rails."

This is the punishment they deserved. Toby said indifferently, "Although they haven't done anything, they raised such a monster, which, in a way, makes their sins even worse. Now, they're naturally paying the price for the monster they had created."

You're right, President Fuller, Tom agreed, thinking that Toby was making a lot of sense.

Sonia rubbed her stomach and mused, "We have to teach our child well in the future."

Of course. Toby lifted his chin. "We will naturally guide our child well, and I believe that our child will not disappoint us."

Why are you so certain? Sonia looked at him in amusement.

Toby rubbed her stomach. "Because he's our child."

Hearing that, Sonia didn't know if she should laugh or sigh at his words.

As he watched the two lovebirds being lovey-dovey in front of him, Tom gritted his teeth in envy. President Fuller is the worst. He knows that I just got my heart broken, but he's still acting lovey-dovey with Mrs. Fuller in front of me.

Suddenly, Sonia recalled something and asked, "Right, what about Harry?"

Tom replied, "He's still in the detainment center, and it'll take some time before they begin investigating his case."

Then, does he know about Lynette?

He doesn't. President Fuller instructed the police not to inform him, Tom replied with a shake of his head.

He's not young anymore. If we tell him now, he might die of shock on the spot. Then, the police would have no way of investigating his case. That would've been an easy out for him, Toby explained.

Sonia thought he had a point, so she stopped asking questions.

In any case, the Lore Family's downfall was set, and both Lynette and Harry would certainly meet their doom this time. As for Grayson and Amelia, it depended on whether they had the courage to carry on living.

However, this was not enough to garner anyone's pity. Even if their family seemed pitiful, didn't they bring all of this onto themselves? If they'd been a little kinder, they wouldn't have met their current end.268641

In any case, they could forget about the Lore Family from now on, and their real target was now Connor and Tina. Only after dealing with these two could she and Toby finally live a peaceful life.

As for Titus… Sonia's eyelids drooped. Her eyes looked conflicted.

Time passed quickly, and Sonia was woken up by Toby the next morning.

Toby looked at her and asked if she remembered what they had to do today. Although Sonia did not respond, it was impossible for her not to know what was about to come.

She had agreed to meet Titus and Julia, and she had insomnia last night because of this. After Toby fell asleep, she remained awake and stared at the dark ceiling for a long time until she eventually drifted off to sleep. However, even after she slept, she was plagued with all kinds of complicated dreams.0
