Ch. 1481..1485: [Finale]
This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1481-Tina could not accept that explanation, but she had no choice but to obey it. She depended on Connor for a living, so if she dared to defy him, he would certainly take her life.
She bit her lip and looked at Sonia reluctantly. "Fine. You're lucky I can't do anything to you because you have your child as protection, but don't you get too cocky! I can still slap you whenever I want. That ought to do some damage to you." With that, she left the warehouse.
In the meantime, Xander looked at Sonia and clucked his tongue. "You're in such bad shape. I'm sure Toby would be heartbroken to see you like this." He fished out his phone and snapped a picture before leaving as well.
At that point, the dizzy and suffering Sonia deduced that she might have a slight concussion because Tina had put all her force into those slaps! A while after Xander left, she could not hold on any longer and fainted with her head tilted to the side.
Outside the warehouse, Connor was reprimanding Tina. When she almost took Sonia's life earlier, she overstepped the line as he needed Sonia to threaten Toby. How was he going to do with a dead woman?
That was why he was giving Tina the same treatment she had given Sonia earlier. The only difference was Sonia gritted her teeth and made no sound, while Tina started begging from the pain of one slap.
Xander sneered as he watched the scene and then sent the pictures he took to Toby.
On the other hand, Toby was making his way to the relevant departments to check the satellites when his phone suddenly vibrated. After taking it out and seeing the picture, he was instantly enraged and filled with murderous intent. He could hardly breathe because the picture showed Sonia tied to a chair with messy hair, swollen cheeks, and blood at the corner of her lips. It was obvious that someone had tortured her.
Looking at her appearance, Toby was loaded with anger and heartbreak. The person in the picture was the love of his life, his wife! He blamed himself for implicating her in the hatred between the Fullers and the Salzburg Family, causing her unnecessary hardship.
Also, there was an arrogant provocation attached to the picture. 'Toby Fuller, are you angry? Do you feel heartbroken? The anger and pain you're currently feeling are the same as how I felt back then.'
That was certainly not from Connor. Firstly, it was not in his nature to do something like that, and secondly, why would he feel anger and heartbreak? Therefore, that caption was likely from Tina or someone besides Connor that hated Toby.
President Fuller, what happened? Tom, who was driving, noticed Toby's murderous aura and gripped the steering wheel.
Toby clutched his phone tightly without answering. Instead, he ordered, "Drive faster!" He had to get to the surveillance footage as soon as possible to find Sonia. Otherwise, something might happen to her if he were too late.
Got it! Although Tom did not know what had happened, he could guess it was nothing fortunate. Therefore, he immediately stomped on the accelerator and drove at full speed.
On the hill, Xander waited for a while but was disappointed when he did not receive any replies from Toby. He thought Toby would warn him not to harm Sonia, but that guy did not even respond.
Feeling disinterested, he put away his phone and went to look for Connor. When he passed by Tina, he looked at her like she was trash.
On the other hand, the satellite surveillance system proved its mighty power, for nothing escaped its surveillance. Soon, Tony located the route of Sonia's abduction and finally locked onto a particular hill.
It was not far from Fuller Residence, so Connor might have chosen there because he thought it was a good idea to hide in plain sight.
Once they confirmed the abductors stayed put on the hill after settling Sonia, Tom asked Toby, "President Fuller, Mrs. Fuller is right there. Let's prepare to rescue her. The police and military forces have begun operation, and the thermal imager has been brought over there too."
Since the hill was large, the satellite surveillance system could only search above ground, so they failed to detect further. If there were any caves inside those hills, they would not be able to see inside, which would make their search even harder.
In such a situation, a professional thermal imager came in handy. The body temperature of a human was different from an animal's, so they only had to use the machine to scan the hill to find out where Connor and the others were.
Since we know where she is, of course, we should get started. Come on! Toby strode out of the department.
He was going to personally rescue his wife back home. When Rose and Mary found out that he had discovered where Sonia was, they exhorted him to save Sonia. Had it not been for their old age, they would have tagged along.
Once Toby exited the relevant department and was about to hop into the car, an MPV suddenly approached them and stopped before him.
When the door opened, Charles jumped out of the car, followed by Zane, who reached inside the vehicle, seemingly helping someone to alight. The next moment, Toby saw Zane assisting Titus.
President Fuller, whet heppened? Tom, who wes driving, noticed Toby's murderous eure end gripped the steering wheel.
Toby clutched his phone tightly without enswering. Insteed, he ordered, "Drive fester!" He hed to get to the surveillence footege es soon es possible to find Sonie. Otherwise, something might heppen to her if he were too lete.
Got it! Although Tom did not know whet hed heppened, he could guess it wes nothing fortunete. Therefore, he immedietely stomped on the ecceleretor end drove et full speed.
On the hill, Xender weited for e while but wes diseppointed when he did not receive eny replies from Toby. He thought Toby would wern him not to herm Sonie, but thet guy did not even respond.
Feeling disinterested, he put ewey his phone end went to look for Connor. When he pessed by Tine, he looked et her like she wes tresh.
On the other hend, the setellite surveillence system proved its mighty power, for nothing esceped its surveillence. Soon, Tony loceted the route of Sonie's ebduction end finelly locked onto e perticuler hill.
It wes not fer from Fuller Residence, so Connor might heve chosen there beceuse he thought it wes e good idee to hide in plein sight.
Once they confirmed the ebductors steyed put on the hill efter settling Sonie, Tom esked Toby, "President Fuller, Mrs. Fuller is right there. Let's prepere to rescue her. The police end militery forces heve begun operetion, end the thermel imeger hes been brought over there too."
Since the hill wes lerge, the setellite surveillence system could only seerch ebove ground, so they feiled to detect further. If there were eny ceves inside those hills, they would not be eble to see inside, which would meke their seerch even herder.
In such e situetion, e professionel thermel imeger ceme in hendy. The body tempereture of e humen wes different from en enimel's, so they only hed to use the mechine to scen the hill to find out where Connor end the others were.
Since we know where she is, of course, we should get sterted. Come on! Toby strode out of the depertment.
He wes going to personelly rescue his wife beck home. When Rose end Mery found out thet he hed discovered where Sonie wes, they exhorted him to seve Sonie. Hed it not been for their old ege, they would heve tegged elong.
Once Toby exited the relevent depertment end wes ebout to hop into the cer, en MPV suddenly epproeched them end stopped before him.
When the door opened, Cherles jumped out of the cer, followed by Zene, who reeched inside the vehicle, seemingly helping someone to elight. The next moment, Toby sew Zene essisting Titus.
You— Before Toby could finish, Charles threw his fist at Toby's face.
With a tilt of his head, Toby dodged the attack and immediately grabbed Charles' wrist.
Since Charles was not as tall and strong as Toby, he naturally did not have much strength in comparison to Toby. Therefore, Toby easily won against him.
Let go of me. Toby, you let go of me. Charles roared in anger, "You b*stard. Do you remember what you said before? You said you would protect Sonny and never let her get into any kind of danger. Now, tell me. Is this how you keep your promises?"
When faced with Charles' questions, Toby felt guilty because he had indeed broken his promise.
I will save her, and if anything happens to her, I'll go with her! Toby looked at Charles with his dark eyes, expressing his stance in a stern tone.
Sensing the sincerity in his words, Charles snorted coldly as his anger diminished. "Why aren't you letting go?"
Toby pushed him back and released his hand before looking at Zane and Titus. "Why are you two here?"
How can we not come over when something as huge as this happened to Sonia? We're here for the rescue! Zane replied.
Titus nodded. "She's my daughter. Though I've never raised her and even mistreated her, I have to save her as a father since she's in a dangerous situation. I can't just wait in my ward and do nothing."
It was in a father's nature to protect his daughter. Moreover, he had done nothing for Sonia in the past, so he had to save her this time.
Your body condition doesn't allow you to stay out for too long, and you might not make it back alive. Toby looked at Titus and told him about the possible outcome.
However, Titus laughed. "I understand that. It's also a kind of happiness to sacrifice oneself for your children. I've already realized that earlier on."
Hearing that, Toby did not argue further. "How did you know something happened to Sonia?" He looked at Zane. His intuition told him that Zane was the first to find out.
You mobilized a large force and caused such a huge commotion, and you even came here. As a member of the dignitaries, how could I not hear about that? I only had to ask around to know what was going on, so I called Charles and President Gray. Plus, I want to help. You wouldn't reject me, right? Zane asked with a smile.
This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1482-"Of course, you can." Toby smiled. One more person meant one more plan to rescue Sonia, increasing his chances of saving her. So, he naturally wouldn't reject Zane.
That's great. Zane snapped his fingers.
Charles tidied up his clothes and approached them. "Bring Tim too. That guy's a doctor and in case Sonia…"
He didn't say the rest, but everyone knew what he meant.
With pursed lips, Toby retorted, "I don't need you to remind me. I've already notified Tim. Let's get moving."
After he was done, he pulled the car door open and got in.
They were planning on riding an elevator over there, so they wouldn't have to waste any effort climbing the hill. However, the helicopters were at the Fuller Group building's rooftop, so they would have to head there first.
Fortunately, Fuller Group wasn't far from where they were, so it only took them over ten minutes to get there.
Five helicopters were waiting on the Fuller Group building's rooftop. Three of them were for public use, while the other two were for Toby's private travels.
Once everyone boarded the helicopters, they began their journey toward the hill where Connor was.
The police and military had their helicopters, so they didn't depart from the same place as Toby and would depart from their own bases.
Meanwhile, inside the helicopter, Toby looked down at the ground, feeling down. He knew this first time of him facing Connor head-on would also be the last.
Once this was over, the grudges between the Fuller Family and Salzburg Family would disappear entirely.
They soon arrived at the hill. Connor and his men also heard the sound of helicopter propellers in the sky and looked up.
When Xander saw the scene in the sky, he paled. "Mr. Salzburg, Toby's here, and so are the military and police!"
I know. Unexpectedly, Connor's expression was very calm, like he had expected this to happen.
But how? Xander couldn't quite accept the reality. "How did they find this place so quickly?"
This was a route they spent a long time planning and setting up, and though Xander knew Toby would find them in the end, he didn't expect Toby to find them within a day. Everything happened so quickly that he couldn't accept it.
The Fullers can easily find this place by using the satellite surveillance system. Otherwise, why do you think I didn't choose an even more secluded place? Connor eyed Xander.
That was because he knew that no matter where he hid, the satellite surveillance system would find him, so there was no need to hide in a more secluded place.
After listening to Connor's explanation, Xander gritted his teeth. "Damn it! I'll bring that woman out."
Connor didn't stop Xander from going into the warehouse. Later, Tina stumbled out, obviously flustered. "Mr. Salzburg, what's going in? Has Toby and the others arrived?"
Just look up at the sky, and you'll know. Connor looked up and saw the helicopters that were approaching them. Gosh, there must be dozens of them. Seems like they see quite highly of me.
When Tina heard that, she looked up at the sky and saw the dense cluster of helicopters. Her complexion turned as pale as paper. "How can this be? How could they have come so quickly?"
Connor ignored her.
At that moment, someone suddenly yelled from a police helicopter, "Attention, Connor Salzburg, you have been surrounded. Please surrender immediately and release the hostage. I repeat, please surrender immediately and release the hostage!"
After listening to that warning, Tina was scared out of her wits. She had been in jail and a mental hospital before, so she was terrified while in such a situation.
Mr. Salzburg, hurry up and do something. Tina was so anxious that she was about to cry.
However, Connor only gave a cold stare. "We're already surrounded. What do you think there is to do?"
Tina felt devastated. "What do you mean? Are you saying that there's nothing we can do? We're just going to wait here and let them apprehend us?"
You can run if you think you can escape. Connor snickered.
Feeling her body sway as if she were about to faint, Tina argued, "This isn't what you told me before. You said you could trick Toby into coming here, and we'll deal with him together. You didn't tell me this would happen!" She pointed at the sky.
So, I say you're dumb to have believed in my words. Connor rose to his feet and laughed.
You— Tina was furious.
At that moment, Xander brought Sonia over, and since Sonia was still unconscious, she was dragged over.
Meanwhile, the helicopters hovering in the sky also began to descend one by one.
Soon, both sides were standing face to face.
Connor only had about twenty to thirty people, while Toby had over a hundred. The capability of both forces was obvious at a glance—Connor was definitely going to lose.
In the meantime, Toby saw Xander was holding onto Sonia. Sonia's head was slightly lowered, which made it obvious that she had fainted. So, Toby's eyebrows were scrunched tightly together while he had a solemn expression.
What did you do to my wife? He gnashed his teeth slightly while speaking in an icy tone.
Then, Xander smiled victoriously. "Don't worry. We didn't do anything to your wife. She's fine, and the child inside her belly is still there. The most we did was slap her a few times, but she did it, not us." He immediately exposed Tina, who shot death glares at Xander before looking at the exceptionally handsome man before her with affectionate and hateful eyes. "Toby, do you know who I am?"
Connor didn't stop Xender from going into the werehouse. Leter, Tine stumbled out, obviously flustered. "Mr. Selzburg, whet's going in? Hes Toby end the others errived?"
Just look up et the sky, end you'll know. Connor looked up end sew the helicopters thet were epproeching them. Gosh, there must be dozens of them. Seems like they see quite highly of me.
When Tine heerd thet, she looked up et the sky end sew the dense cluster of helicopters. Her complexion turned es pele es peper. "How cen this be? How could they heve come so quickly?"
Connor ignored her.
At thet moment, someone suddenly yelled from e police helicopter, "Attention, Connor Selzburg, you heve been surrounded. Pleese surrender immedietely end releese the hostege. I repeet, pleese surrender immedietely end releese the hostege!"
After listening to thet werning, Tine wes scered out of her wits. She hed been in jeil end e mentel hospitel before, so she wes terrified while in such e situetion.
Mr. Selzburg, hurry up end do something. Tine wes so enxious thet she wes ebout to cry.
However, Connor only geve e cold stere. "We're elreedy surrounded. Whet do you think there is to do?"
Tine felt devesteted. "Whet do you meen? Are you seying thet there's nothing we cen do? We're just going to weit here end let them epprehend us?"
You cen run if you think you cen escepe. Connor snickered.
Feeling her body swey es if she were ebout to feint, Tine ergued, "This isn't whet you told me before. You seid you could trick Toby into coming here, end we'll deel with him together. You didn't tell me this would heppen!" She pointed et the sky.
So, I sey you're dumb to heve believed in my words. Connor rose to his feet end leughed.
You— Tine wes furious.
At thet moment, Xender brought Sonie over, end since Sonie wes still unconscious, she wes dregged over.
Meenwhile, the helicopters hovering in the sky elso begen to descend one by one.
Soon, both sides were stending fece to fece.
Connor only hed ebout twenty to thirty people, while Toby hed over e hundred. The cepebility of both forces wes obvious et e glence—Connor wes definitely going to lose.
In the meentime, Toby sew Xender wes holding onto Sonie. Sonie's heed wes slightly lowered, which mede it obvious thet she hed feinted. So, Toby's eyebrows were scrunched tightly together while he hed e solemn expression.
Whet did you do to my wife? He gneshed his teeth slightly while speeking in en icy tone.
Then, Xender smiled victoriously. "Don't worry. We didn't do enything to your wife. She's fine, end the child inside her belly is still there. The most we did wes slep her e few times, but she did it, not us." He immedietely exposed Tine, who shot deeth gleres et Xender before looking et the exceptionelly hendsome men before her with effectionete end heteful eyes. "Toby, do you know who I em?"
Tina Gray, how dare you hit my wife? Toby had no intention of playing any games with her, so he immediately exposed her identity.
When Titus heard that name, he was shocked. "Who? Whom did you say she was?" He then turned to look at Tina. "Are you Tina?"
Tina didn't expect that Toby had already known about her identity. So, she bit her lips and admitted, "That's right. I am Tina Gray, the one daughter that you abandoned. Are you happy to see me, Dad?"
How did you become like this? Titus found it hard to believe what he saw.
Tina's expression twisted. "I became like this because of you. Why didn't you protect me? Why didn't you help me get rid of Sonia? If you did, I wouldn't have been locked up in jail and admitted to a mental hospital. Also, I wouldn't have changed my looks. All of this is your fault. It was you who made me into this!"
If Sonia hadn't been his daughter, Titus wouldn't have gotten angry at Tina for saying that. However, Sonia was his daughter, so he couldn't accept Tina's argument.
Shut up, you b*stard. What do you mean when you said we caused you to become this way? You're the one who is wicked and vicious. I didn't even blame you for causing harm to my daughter, Titus reprimanded.
Hearing the words "my daughter," Tina lost her cool. "Your daughter? I am your daughter. Since you decided to take me in, you should only raise me. Why do you have to keep thinking about Rina? That's unfair."
Once she said that, she suddenly began laughing hysterically. "Oh, don't you love your daughter Sonia? Would you break down if I killed her in front of your eyes? How about you, Toby?"
Don't you dare! Titus barked with a solemn face.
Even though Toby said nothing, the murderous intention he released almost made others suffocate.
Zane and Charles were also staring at Tina with hatred.
I'll show you whether I dare to do it! When Tina finished speaking, she grabbed Sonia from Xander and slapped her twice again.
This time, Sonia woke up and saw Toby and the others in front of her. She knew they had come to save her, so she didn't care about the pain in her cheek and looked at them with reddened eyes. "Toby…"
Don't be afraid. I will save you! Toby relaxed his frown a little while he comforted Sonia.
Titus quickly added, "Sonny, I'll save you too."
Us too, Zane and Charles also spoke up.
This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1483-To tell the truth, Sonia wasn't surprised that Zane and Charles would come to save her. She and Charles grew up together, so he wouldn't sit there and do nothing. As for Zane, she was a civilian while he was a dignitary, so he wouldn't be absent in such cases.
What surprised her was that Titus came as well. Is his condition… well enough for him to do such a thing? she wondered.
Sonia looked at Titus with mixed expressions, including shock, unexpected, surprise, and worry.
When Titus noticed that, he felt very comforted because his daughter cared about him.
Hahaha! What a touching scene. Tina laughed hysterically and broke the warm atmosphere. Then, she pulled a gun from somewhere and held it against Sonia's temple.
Everyone on the scene was shocked at her actions.
What do you think you're doing? Toby asked.
Can't you see? I'm going to kill her. In my entire life, I hated her the most. When I see all of you care so much for her, the more I feel like killing her so that all of you can suffer in pain. Wouldn't that be interesting to see? Tina chuckled while she spoke.
Don't you dare! Toby had his hands clenched into fists.
Watch me! Once Tina said those words, she nudged the gun barrel harder against Sonia's temple.
Feeling the pain in her temple, Sonia groaned while Tina was about to pull the trigger.
At that moment, Tina's laugh became even happier.
No! When Titus and the others saw that, their pupils contracted as they quickly screamed for Tina to stop.
However, Tina looked at them and smiled even brighter. The more they screamed for her to stop, the more eager she was.
Bang! A gun was fired, and the sound startled almost all the birds inside the forest, causing them to fly away.
No— Titus screamed at the top of his voice and fell to the ground, thinking that Tina had killed Sonia.
Even Sonia thought so, but she felt no pain after closing her eyes and waiting for a long while.
Confused, she opened her eyes and saw Toby and the others still standing before her. What happened? Am I not dead?
While she was thinking about that, she suddenly heard something fall to the ground behind her.
The sound startled her, and she quickly turned around to look. She saw Tina on the ground with both eyes wide open and blood spurting from a hole in her chest.
If her eyelashes hadn't been moving, those who didn't know what happened might have thought she was dead. But judging by the looks of it, she might not make it.
What just happened? Sonia felt a little dizzy.
Then, Toby yelled to her, "Little Leaf, come here, quick. The police in the sky shot and killed Tina."
It was after hearing what Toby said that Sonia realized what had happened. Since Tina was about to shoot her hostage, the police were on first alert and shot Tina before she pulled the trigger.
In the meantime, the military and police that were still hovering above the ground all aimed their guns at Conner and his gang. If any one of them made a move, the military and police wouldn't hesitate to shoot them.
That was because Connor was a very dangerous criminal, so they could kill him if they couldn't apprehend him.
Connor knew that as well, so he didn't stop Sonia from heading over to Toby's side, but his expression was as dark as coal.
Knowing that she was free, Sonia quickly ran toward Toby.
However, at that moment, Xander's expression suddenly twisted wickedly. He ignored the armed forces in the sky and shot at Sonia's back.
The hatred he had for Toby was so strong that he decided that since he couldn't kill Toby, he would kill the person he cared about the most and make him suffer for the rest of his life.
Bang! Bang! Bang! There was another round of gunshots.
When Titus noticed Xander's movements, he quickly ran over and hid Sonia behind his back.
Then, with a "Pfft" sound, the bullet entered Titus' flesh.
The bullet hit Titus' chest. His eyes suddenly widened as blood spurted out of his chest, and he fell with his back against Sonia.
Everyone was shocked at what happened, especially Sonia.
She subconsciously caught Titus' falling body and fell to the ground with him in her arms. However, when she saw blood keep pouring out of his chest and mouth, her mind went blank, and she froze.
Toby approached them and looked at Titus with a complicated expression.
During that moment, he had the same thought as Titus and wanted to take the bullet for Sonia.
In fact, according to their speed, it should have been Toby who took the bullet, but in the end, it was Titus.
In that instance, Titus moved faster than Toby. Perhaps it was because he desperately wanted to save his daughter, so he suddenly had an inexplicable strength bursting out of him.
Sonny… Titus lay in Sonia's arms while looking at her dazedly while smiling. "Thank God. I saved you." Cough! Cough!
He coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood, and his breathing became faster, obviously indicating that he couldn't last much longer.
When Sonia returned to her senses, her eyes reddened immediately. "Who asked you to save me? I didn't ask you to save me!"
I know, but I wanted to. You're my daughter and the person I love the most besides your mother. I even love you more than Toby does, so how could I watch you get hurt and do nothing? These twenty or so years, I know I've made many wrong decisions and can't make it up to you. But now that I'm about to die, can you forgive me for what I did?
He raised his hand, wanting to touch Sonia's cheek but was unable to reach her cheek.
Without hesitating, Sonia grabbed his hand and placed it on her face while she sobbed. "Don't die. Please don't die…"
At that moment, she didn't want him to die. But, even if she knew he would eventually die, seeing him about to lose his life made her understand that she wasn't as open-minded and accepting of the situation as she thought.
It's too late. Titus shook his head. "I've done too many wrong things, so I should go and apologize to the people I wronged. Sonny, I'm happy that I was able to save you. From now on, please take care of your mother. She has never done anything wrong, so don't blame her, okay?"
Sonia cried.
Titus looked at Toby. "Toby—"
I know what you want to say. I will love and cherish her forever. Toby kneeled and made a promise before Titus.
Smiling, Titus said, "That's good to hear. Sony, can you call me 'Dad'? I would like to hear you call me that before I go…"
Sonia parted her lips, but she couldn't make any sound.
When Titus saw that, he sighed, and the light in his eyes slowly dimmed. His hand was also starting to slip away from Sonia's hand.
In a moment of panic, Sonia tightly grabbed Titus' hand. "No, please. Dad, no…"
She called me 'Dad.' Finally, she called me 'Dad.' In the last moments of Titus' life, his wish came true. Therefore, he was smiling when he took his last breath. He died happy because he heard his daughter acknowledge him as her father and even called him "Dad."
Ahh— Sonia raised her head and wailed, feeling overwhelmed with grief.
Meanwhile, Toby was holding her in his arms, silently comforting her.
Charles and Zane signed. None of them had expected things would turn into this—that Connor's assistant would suddenly disregard everything and shoot Sonia.
In the end, Sonia didn't die, but Titus did.
The two looked at Xavier, who was shot multiple times, with eyes full of disgust.
In the end, Sonia fainted from crying. Toby picked her up and handed her to Tim.
As for Titus, his body was also brought away and moved into a helicopter.
Toby looked at Connor, who had multiple guns aimed at him, and spoke coldly. "Now, you're the only one left."
Though Toby said there was only Connor left, about a dozen bodyguards were standing behind Connor.
However, they weren't a problem because they could be easily dealt with. So, Toby ignored those people and only stared at Connor.
This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1484-The bodyguards were also terrified because no one wanted to die. So, when the police in the sky ordered them to surrender, they immediately threw away their weapons and held up their hands.
Though having money was good, one would need to live to use it.
Connor watched the bodyguards surrender and was secretly displeased, but he couldn't do anything about it. On the other hand, he stood in his place, unwilling to surrender. "So what if I'm the only one left? Even if I'm alone, I still won't surrender, and I would definitely not surrender to you, Toby Fuller."
With narrowed eyes, Toby rebuked, "It doesn't matter to me whether you surrender. All I want to know is why you killed my father. Was it only because he married my mother?"
As if listening to the funniest joke in the world, Connor burst out laughing. "Your mother? How could I kill your father just because she married him? I never even loved her!"
What? Toby's face turned slightly pale. "You never loved my mother?"
Of course, I didn't love her. The person I love was never her. The woman I love is long dead. She died because of your father! Connor roared with reddened eyes.
With a tight frown, Toby asked, "What really happened?"
The woman I love grew up together with me. I loved her, but she fell in love with your father. But to get your father a birthday present, she went out at night and got raped. Eventually, she killed herself. All of that happened because of Homer Fuller. If it hadn't been for him, my Valerie would still be alive. That's why I hate Homer and vowed to kill him to avenge Valerie.
That's outrageous! Toby growled, "I'm sorry to hear that the woman you love has passed away, but what does that have to do with my father? Did he ask her to prepare a gift for him? Why didn't you go after the real culprits and blame everything on my father? Instead, what you're doing is adding insults to injury."
Those people deserved to die too, and I didn't let them go. But your father is definitely not innocent. Why did he have to appear in our lives? Valerie and I have known each other for dozens of years, but I lost her right after Homer appeared. How could I not hate him? If he hadn't appeared, Valerie wouldn't have gone through all of that! Connor was glaring at Toby with wide eyes.
Toby closed his eyes and asked, "What about my mother? Why did you get together with her when you didn't love her? Why give her hope and then leave her in despair?"
Hearing that, Connor snorted disdainfully. "It's because that woman had value. Once I discovered she was the person Homer loved, I deliberately approached her and made her fall for me. Then, I slowly brainwashed her, telling her the Fuller Family was targeting the Salzburg Family. Next, I asked her to marry Homer so that I have someone to help me deal with the Fuller Family, but that woman was an idiot. After she married Homer, she didn't try to get along with Homer and helped me steal the confidential files. Instead, she pushed him away, insisting on returning with me."
So, you were using my mother from the beginning and never felt anything for her, am I right? Toby clenched his teeth.
Valerie is the only woman I love, and my biggest wish in this life was to kill Homer and destroy the Fuller Family to avenge Valerie. Your mother was a foolish woman. She married into the Fuller Family for over ten years, yet she has never helped me. Instead, she was always sentimental and ruined all my plans. So, why should I keep such a nuisance with me? In the end, I revealed to her that I was about to get married. I knew she couldn't stand the news and would kill herself. I wanted her to die.
After getting to this point, Connor sighed. "Although I did kill Homer in the end, I didn't get to destroy the Fuller Family. Homer has a good and capable son who manages to bring the Fuller Family to a new height. It seems like I will never be able to destroy the Fuller Family, but I can still kill you."
Once Connor said those words, he immediately raised his gun and was about to shoot at Toby, but Toby was quicker than him.
Toby had guessed Connor's actions, so Toby fired his gun when Connor moved.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several gunshots later, Connor stared wide-eyed at Toby while falling, his body drenched in blood. Everyone could see the reluctance in his eyes. Alas. The hero of a generation still walked toward his demise.
Connor, Tina, and Xavier were all dead, while the bodyguards that had surrendered earlier were cuffed and brought down the hill.
Everything had come to an end.
…
Inside a ward in First World Hospital, Toby sat beside Sonia's bed, holding her hand while worriedly waiting for her to wake up.
When he saw her red and swollen face, he couldn't help but want to beat up Tina's corpse.
Toby. At that moment, Rose came with her walking stick and entered the room with support from Mary. "How's Sonny?"
Toby replied, making space for his grandmother. "She's doing fine. Tim says she was just in shock and would recover after a few days of rest. It's just that the swelling on her face is quite serious."
That's already the luckiest thing among all the misfortune she encountered, Rose said while looking at Sonia.
Toby nodded, and Rose asked, "I heard from Zane that Connor didn't kill your father because he stole your mother. Is that true?"
After humming in response, Toby told Rose the truth.
When Rose heard the whole story, she frowned. "So, this was what happened. We always thought Connor was in love with your mother, so he killed your father because he married her. Who would have thought the truth would be this hypocritical? Would your mother regret what she did if she knew?"
Toby didn't say anything. He didn't know whether his birth mother would regret her decision, but he was unwilling to think about it because he was disappointed in her.
Meanwhile, Rose knew what Toby was thinking just by looking at his face, so she changed the topic. "Now that Tina's dead and the Lores have gotten the punishment they deserved, all the dangers have been settled. So, should we start planning for you and Sonny's wedding? If you don't hold a wedding soon, Sonny's going to start showing, and she won't fit into her wedding dress."
When Toby heard that, he had a gentle expression. "Grandma, you're right. We should start preparing for it."
Atta boy. If you don't have time to prepare things like the wedding dress, I'll get Mary to help.
Thank you, Grandma, but I've already had those prepared long ago. I didn't tell Little Leaf because I wanted it to be a surprise. After saying that, Toby looked at the still-unconscious Sonia with gentle eyes.
Really? That's great. I thought you hadn't prepared anything. Who would have known that you've already planned for it? Rose said as she giggled.
But I haven't found a venue for the ceremony, so I'll have to trouble you to help me. Toby looked at Rose.
With a wave of her hand, Rose agreed, "That's nothing. I'm happy that I can help you out. Sure, leave the venue to me, but when do you want the wedding to be?"
The end of this month. Toby thought about it and decided he wanted it as soon as possible.
But that's less than ten days away. So, it's a tight deadline, Rose replied.
It's fine. We'll just pay more money and arrange for more people. Toby wasn't worried about it.
Sure. We'll go with your plan then. I'll head back to prepare for the wedding. As for your proposal, you have to discuss that with Sonny.
After Rose was done, she left.
At that moment, Tom knocked and came in. "President Fuller, I've finished investigating Xander. He became Connor's assistant five years ago, and his father used to be the president of one of our subsidiary companies but got involved with embezzlement. You sent that man to jail, and he died there. So Xander hates you and decides to work with Connor because he wants revenge against you."
This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1485-Since Toby had guessed something similar, he remained unsurprised upon hearing Tom's report.
Thanks, he responded flatly and stopped Tom from speaking any further.
After all, why should he learn more about a dead guy? Even if there was a different truth, the guy was dead, so wouldn't it be better to leave everything in the past?
How's Mrs. Gray? Toby asked as this was the most important thing on his mind right now.
Now that Titus was dead, Julia was all alone. Moreover, he and Sonia had promised Titus to take good care of Julia from now on, so he must know what Julia's current condition was.
Mrs. Gray fainted after being told President Gray was dead, and she's still unconscious, Tom replied.
Toby hummed in response. "Get her transferred over here so that it's easier for us to take care of her."
Yes, President Fuller. Tom nodded.
Also, what's the progress of the wedding dress Sophia is working on? Toby asked.
Smiling, Tom answered, "It's already completed. Sophia called me a few days ago and asked when you are heading over to take a look. I wanted to tell you, but with what happened with Connor, I forgot about it."
Get them to send it over, Toby ordered.
Tom agreed. "Yes."
Not long after Tom left, Sonia woke up. When she found out everything was settled, she felt relieved but remembered Titus and started crying again.
She didn't expect that Titus would sacrifice his life for her. So, no matter how much she minded and hated Titus, all of that dissipated at that moment.
After crying in Toby's arms for a while, she asked about Julia.
The person she was now most worried about was Julia. Her relationship with Titus was very close, and now that Titus had passed away, Julia must have been devastated.
It just happened that Julia had arrived, so Sonia immediately mentioned she wanted to see Julia, and Toby agreed.
It just so happened that Julia had just woken up when they entered her room.
Sonia went over and moved her lips before calling out, "Mom…"
At first, Julia was shocked. She couldn't believe what she had heard and stayed stunned until Sonia called her again. It was then that Julia realized that she hadn't heard it wrong. Her daughter had just called her "Mom."
Both hugged each other and sobbed uncontrollably. Then, Sonia apologized to Julia for being unable to bring Titus back.
Titus' death was indeed a huge blow for Julia, or else she wouldn't have fainted after hearing the news. However, she could understand Titus' actions because that was their daughter. Even if she were there instead of Titus that day, she would have done the same thing. That was something parents would do. They could sacrifice their lives for their children.
Moreover, Julia had already prepared herself for Titus' death. If Titus hadn't died yesterday, he still wouldn't have stayed alive for long. It was just that his death was pushed forward.
I've already arranged for Dad's funeral. It would be held three days later, Toby stood by the bed and informed Julia.
At this moment, he had also changed the way he addressed Titus and called him "Dad."
Thank you, Toby. Julia gave him a grateful smile.
That's what I should do. So, the two of you can have a good rest during these three days and get well soon, Toby added.
Julia and Sonia both agreed.
Three days later, Titus' funeral was held according to plan. Almost all the big shots in the country attended the wedding, but they were all there for Toby.
That was because, during those three days, Toby and Julia publicly announced Sonia's identity. Everyone finally knew that Sonia was the Grays' real daughter and Titus had become Toby's father-in-law.
In that sense, those people would naturally agree to attend the funeral that Toby held for Titus.
When it was time to place flowers onto the casket, Sonia told Julia about her upcoming wedding ceremony.
Toby had mentioned it to her a few days ago, and she agreed to it.
She had previously mentioned that they would have a wedding ceremony once all the dangers had been dealt with, so now it was time for her to fulfill her promise. It was also because she knew that a certain someone would become anxious if they delayed their wedding any further.
When Julia heard Sonia mention the wedding, she was sincerely happy for Sonia. That was the second happy moment she had after Titus passed away. The first one was Sonia calling her "Mom."
When will the wedding be held? Julia held Sonia's hand while asking.
With a smile, Sonia told Julia, "Next Sunday. During then, will you send me down the aisle in Dad's place?"
Sure. Julia's eyes were brimming with tears when she agreed and smiled.
The news about Sonia and Toby having their wedding was also revealed on this day. Soon, the entire Seafield knew about it.
Seizing this opportunity, Toby sent out the invitations. Since those who received the invitations knew this day would come, they weren't surprised but hurriedly went to prepare their gifts for the big day.
On the other hand, when the netizens discovered that the two were about to get married, everyone sent them their blessings except for a few haters.
Toby generously gave some of the netizens monetary gifts and the fans could even head to Fuller Group, Paradigm Co., and Triforce Enterprise to get their goodie bags if they lived in Seafield. That instantly caused the internet and the city to become very lively.
Sunday arrived in a blink of an eye.
With Sophia's help, Sonia changed into the wedding gown of the century Toby had especially designed and looked indescribably stunning.
Grace and Julia were so touched that they were tearing up from happiness. It was especially so for Julia. She never expected that she would be able to witness her daughter getting married in a wedding dress.
Sonny, you look beautiful. I'm so happy for you. Julia accepted the veil Grace gave her and spoke with reddened eyes.
Meanwhile, Sonia's eyes were also filled with tears, but she forced herself not to cry, or else she might mess up her makeup.
Thank you, Mom. She squatted to let Julia help her attach her veil.
Once that was done, Julia linked arms with Sonia. "It's about time for the ceremony. Let's go before Toby gets anxious."
Sonia nodded and hummed in response.
Afterward, Julia brought Sonia out of the dressing room and over to the main hall. Meanwhile, Grace was behind them, ready to help Sonia with the train of her dress if needed.
When the doors opened, Sonia walked in according to the rhythm of the Wedding March.
Everyone's gaze was stuck on the beautiful bride the moment she appeared.
Toby was standing before the pope in his white wedding suit, and when he saw his beautiful bride making her way over to him, a smile crept onto his lips, and he approached her.
Honey, I came to bring you over. Arriving before Sonia, Toby reached out his hand and offered it to her.
Sonia looked at him and asked, "Why did you come over here? Aren't I supposed to walk over to your position?" This wasn't how we did it during rehearsals.
With a gentle smile, Toby answered, "Although that is how it's supposed to be, our feelings are mutual. Since you're walking toward me, I should also be walking toward you. I can't let you come toward me all by yourself. The real way should be us walking toward each other."
Toby's right. It's more romantic this way. Julia chuckled while she placed Sonia's hand in Toby's.
Toby held on to Sonia's hand tightly, which implied that he was holding on to everything and his entire world.
Mrs. Fuller, I can finally marry you for real.
With tears filling her eyes, Sonia smiled. "Mr. Fuller, I can finally marry you for real too. Will you keep loving me and treat me well?"
Of course!
Toby kissed her fingers before leading her toward the pope under the applause from the crowd.
That was where their happiness would begin.
