Ch. 1..10
lunch box but was driven away by him with a cold face. With that, she immediately became the laughing stock of the whole company. All the employees knew that the husband did not take his wife seriously. And the few times she came after this, she was turned away right at the front desk.
Tom sighed. Toby treated his ex-wife with far less than a percent of the gentle treatment he had given Tina.
Hearing Tom’s reply, Toby only answered dismissively without speaking. After that, he lowered his head to continue looking through the files in front of him.

Right then, a phone call came.0
Toby glanced over and saw that it was from a friend, so he quickly connected the call. “What’s the matter?”
0
A frivolous young man’s voice spread from the other side of the line. “Toby, look at the latest headlines on the Internet.”
Toby didn’t know what the man was up to with this, so he unlocked his phone and glanced at it casually. In an instant, his eyes froze on an article.
It was a rather intimate photo of Sonia with that male model. He had his head down, while she was tilting her head upward. The angle of the picture made it seemed like they were kissing.
Along with the photo was an eye-catching red title—‘Breaking News! President Fuller Forced to Be Divorced While Popular Male Model Successfully Took His Place!'
This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 9
Toby’s face sank immediately as he remained speechless.
Zane Coleman seemed to have expected his mood and jokingly said, “Oh, I actually learned about your divorce from a trending chart. Well, how does it feel to be cheated on?”
Toby paused before hissing, “F*ck off.”
“Haha! I told you Sonia was a good woman, but you didn’t know how to cherish her. I think she was the only one who could bear with you for six years. If it were someone else, they would have probably dumped you long ago.”
Toby was upset. “I don’t love her anyway.”
“Yes, yes. You love that Tina girl, right?”
Zane had met Tina in college before.
After all, lookers-on would see the most clearly. At a glance, he could see that the young lady of the Gray family was not an easy person. But Toby…
On the other hand, Zane had a very good impression of Sonia. She was kind enough to Toby, and she kept the Fuller family in order; it was a pity that she worked hard but got nothing in return.
Toby’s face went dark. “You called just to ridicule me?”
“Well, I’m here to tell you that your ex-wife spent a lot of money to book the first floor of Celestial, and I was invited by her to go to the party. Alright, I don’t want to talk to you anymore—I want to watch some dancing.”
With that, Zane hung up the call from his end.
Toby looked at the phone blankly for a while, and then continued to busy himself with the files nonchalantly.
At the next moment, Tom suddenly came in. “Sir, Old Mrs. Fuller is back.”
……
Meanwhile, in Celestial.
Sonia actually invited Zane with a purpose.
Few people knew that Zane was the second son of the deputy mayor. His main business was located overseas, and this time, he came back to sign a contract with Paradigm Co.
However, the board of directors in Paradigm Co. did not even bat their eyes at this rising star at all and kept turning him away.
From this, Sonia knew that her chance was here.
With that in mind, Sonia held the wine glass and walked over to Zane with a smile. “Mr. Coleman, I hadn’t seen you in a year, yet you are still so handsome and good-looking.”
Zane had a pair of almond eyes; he was handsome and always had a natural smiley face on. “Miss Reed, you are the one that surprised me. It is hard to imagine that this beautiful, sexy, and elegant woman in front of me is the same person I knew two years ago.”
Sonia swirled her wine glass, smiling unabated. “People are always changing, and so we always have to look forward. Don’t you agree?”
Zane deliberately closed the distance between them as he lowered his voice and said half-jokingly, “I actually don’t understand something. Miss Reed, you know that I am a good friend of Toby’s, so why did you invite me? Is it because you are infatuated by my handsome appearance?”
Sonia knew that this man liked to make jokes, and so she wasn’t annoyed; instead, she went along with him and whispered in his ears.
Zane’s expression became serious in an instant after hearing the few words spoken softly by Sonia.
Immediately after that, he looked at her with a complicated look. “You are such a smart woman. Toby will definitely regret his behavior in the future.”
The smile at the corner of Sonia’s mouth faded. “Well, he is past tense now. What’s the use of mentioning him anyway?”
“You’re right. From now on, we two will be number one in the world! So, my beautiful Miss Reed, may I have this dance?” Zane continued his playful act with a cheeky smile, but as he stretched his hand over for a dance, he was soon interrupted by a voice.
It was Carl walking over with his long legs while holding a glass of juice, and without even looking at Zane, he swapped the wine in Sonia’s hand. “Sonia, you’ll get a headache if you drink too much.”
To Zane’s surprise, Sonia didn’t even reject it; she merely took the glass of juice naturally.
Immediately, Zane turned his gaze to the young man again and froze.
From what he saw, this young man had good looks and a great charisma; he deserved to be a popular and famous male model.
Goddamn… Right now, Zane seemed to have foreseen Toby’s future misery.This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 9

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 10
Carl nodded at Zane politely. Then, facing Sonia, the corners of his lips were slightly raised. “I heard from Charles that you took dance lessons before. Could you teach me?”
Sonia was in an unexpectedly good mood. “Not a problem.”
Hence, the two went onto the dance floor hand-in-hand. As Zane came back to his senses, he shook his head again and sighed. “This male model is something else, huh?”
After all, Carl was a model, so he could learn to dance with ease.
He had asked the DJ to change the color of the lighting a long time ago, and the two danced in-sync on the star-lit stage.
Meanwhile, Charles whistled while drinking.
It had been years since Sonia last danced; her heel was unstable at the last move, and she fell all of a sudden.
Carl was quick as he placed his big hands on her back to support her. With that, he fished her whole body into his arms.
Sonia pressed close to him. At this moment, she could vaguely hear his heart beating rapidly.
And this was what Toby saw when he came in.
The woman, who was usually gentle and dignified, was now lying in the arms of another man, like a charming and sexy minx.
Toby’s face froze instantly—it turned all gloomy and terrifying.
Carl whispered in Sonia’s ear, “Sonia, he is here.”
Sonia had long spotted the man in the large glass mirror opposite her. Nevertheless, she smiled as if she didn’t see him and tugged the messy hair behind her ears. “Hmm. I’m a little hungry. Let’s get something to eat first.”
Hearing that, Carl let go of her and left the dance floor with her.
When passing by Toby, he paused slightly and raised his eyelids.
From Toby’s point of view, this was obviously a provocation.
“Sonia Reed, stop right there!”
Sonia halted with her back facing him. She turned around, and the corner of her lips raised into a shallow arc. “Why did you come, Mr. Fuller? If I remember correctly, you weren’t on the invite list, right?”
Toby glanced at Carl first; he squinted at the young man’s slightly hostile gaze.
He then said to Sonia, “I think you should be a little more careful. You have so many scandals right after the two of us divorced. Though it probably doesn’t matter to you, the Fuller family still has to take care of our reputation.”
Sonia was amused by what he said. “Well, even so, it’s not your place to lecture me. Besides, who I am with does not have anything to do with you.”33813
“You are wrong. I’m not one to be nosy, but your high-profile gossip has already reached my grandmother’s ears.” Toby stood there with a calm face while his gaze melted into the night.
Sonia’s smile froze. “Old Mrs. Fuller is back?”
“Well, not only that—she wants to see you.” Toby twitched his lips coldly and glanced at Carl behind her. With a sarcastic tone, he said, “Of course, if you are too busy dating, you don’t have to go.”
After saying that, he left without looking back. Sonia’s expression was complicated; after considering for a moment, she decided to follow Toby.

“Sonia.”0
Seeing that Carl wanted to follow along too, she turned around to reassure him, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
0
Looking at Sonia leaving from a distance, the light in Carl’s eyes dimmed.
At this moment, he noticed the figure in the corner.
Zane walked over with an embarrassed look and coughed slightly. “Um… I heard their conversation when I was smoking outside.”
Carl, who was wearing an indifferent expression, ignored him.
Zane touched his nose, amused at Carl’s hostility toward him. “You are in love with Sonia, aren’t you? Don’t worry, man. I don’t plan to steal her from you.”
Carl only glanced at him coldly. “It’s windy outside, Mr. Coleman. I think you should go back early.” After speaking, he left.
Zane was taken aback for a moment. After that, he shook his head and laughed.
