Ch. 271..280

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 271

Titus smashed his phone on the ground in a fit of rage.

The screen on his phone smashed into pieces with a loud crash, which caused Julia to quickly come over to pat his chest. “What did Toby say to you that made you so angry?”

“He’s calling off the engagement!” he roared as he sat down angrily. “It seems like he’s really determined to call the engagement off this time and he’s even decided on the time to hold the press release.”

“What?! Does that mean we don’t have a chance to talk things through?” Julia’s mouth was agape while Titus sighed. “That’s right.”

“What’s going to happen to Tina now?” She couldn’t help but be anxious.

However, Titus didn’t answer her as he wasn’t in a good mood. What are they going to do? How would I know? If I have any idea, I wouldn’t be sitting here with all the pent-up anger!

The only reason why Triforce Enterprise could be one of the top ten enterprises in Seafield was solely due to the Fuller Group. Once Tina’s engagement to Toby was called off, Triforce Enterprise would immediately fall from its position and might even be pressured by other enterprises without the Fuller Group’s help.

After all, during these few months after she was engaged to Toby, Triforce Enterprise had been taking advantage of their relationship with Fuller Group to steal the resources of other enterprises, so Titus really didn’t want the engagement to be called off.

As he massaged his temples, Titus suddenly thought of an idea and turned toward Julia. “What if we secure a done deal for Tina and Toby?”

“Huh?” She looked confused as he explained with a dark expression, “As long as Toby has had a physical relationship with Tina, he would have no choice but to continue with the marriage unless he wants to be criticized for the rest of his life!”

She bit her lips. “Still… Wouldn’t that be illegal?”

“Of course. That’s the only way to maintain Tina and Toby’s engagement.” Titus stared at her intently. “Think about it. If the engagement is called off, other enterprises would start attacking us and their wives would laugh at us behind our backs as well. Do you want to be laughed at by others when you hang out with them? Don’t you want to spend money on clothes and beauty products as much as you like in the future?”

As soon as he said that, a fearful look flashed past Julia’s eyes before she quickly shook her head. “Of course I do!”

As she was someone born with a silver spoon, she never had to worry about money or inquire about the price of the things that she wanted to buy. So, she couldn’t imagine herself worrying about money whenever she wanted to buy anything in the future.

Moreover, all the other wives in their circle buttered up to her because of Toby. If he called off the engagement, her peers would stop treating her well and could even crack horrible jokes about her. She couldn’t help but shiver when she thought about that.

Upon hearing Julia’s reply, Titus smiled in satisfaction. “That’s why we have no choice but to do this!”

“Honey, how are you planning to do it, though?” she asked worriedly.

He narrowed his eyes. “It’s easy. I’ll get Tina to ask Toby to meet up at a hotel and ask her to drug him. When it’s about time, I’ll arrange for some reporters to head over there. If he still insists on calling the engagement off, he will definitely enrage the netizens and they will never let him or Fuller Group off the hook.”

“I get it now. You’re planning to use the public opinion to force Toby to marry Tina.” Julia nodded.

“That’s right. Now, I want you to contact Tina and get her to return home. We need to carry out our plans by tonight and we can’t delay it any longer,” Titus declared seriously.

She claimed with a conflicted tone, “Tina hasn’t been accepting any of my calls, though!”

Still, Titus couldn’t care less as he rose to his full height. “Continue calling her until she accepts it. After all, we don’t have much time.”

Immediately, Julia stopped talking and followed his instructions by contacting Tina.

On the other hand, a man was holding the ringing phone in an abandoned garage as he approached the other two men at the entrance.

“Mr. Lee, Tina’s phone is ringing again.” The man held her phone out while Carl glanced at it. “Ignore it. Just let it be.”34445

“Yes!” Upon hearing Carl’s words, the man kept the phone away again.

Meanwhile, Tim glanced at his phone. “It’s almost time now. You should head in and get them to start the operation. We’ll dump her somewhere with a crowd at night.”

“Understood!” The subordinate’s expression became serious before he turned around to enter the garage.

At this moment, Tim took his pack of cigarettes out from his pocket. Then, he took two cigarettes out and passed one to Carl, who didn’t reject the proffered cancer stick.

A terrified woman’s voice suddenly rang out from the garage behind them. “Who are you guys?!”0

Tina was finally awake.

0

She was forced to regain consciousness after a bucket of water was poured on her. When she woke up and realized that she was in an unfamiliar place with all of her limbs tied up, her face immediately paled.

She came to the realization that she was kidnapped again!

“Who are we?” The men standing in front of her snickered before all of them rubbed their hands in unison and replied, “We are ordered to give you a special treatment!”

At once, Tina’s pupils constricted. What is happening? Aren’t they supposed to look for Sonia? Why did I end up here?

“That’s enough. Why are you guys still talking to her? Get started. I still need to send the footage over to my client.” A man was holding a camera and he urged from a distance away.

Tina turned toward him. Her eyes widened the moment she did so and she recognized him almost immediately. “It’s you!”

That was the man who took her to the alley!

At this moment, the man’s gaze wavered a little before he quickly recomposed himself and faced the camera toward her. “Okay, I’m ready. Get started!”

“Alright. Let’s get this started.” The men rubbed their hands together again before they chuckled as they headed toward Tina.

At the same time, her heart sank as she instinctively knew what they were up to. As her face paled even more, she shrieked in panic, “Stop it! Don’t come any closer!”

Yet, they ignored her and continued to move toward her.

In no time, those men reached her and pushed her to the ground before securing her limbs in place.

Then, one of them took a syringe containing a pale pink substance in it.

As he flicked the syringe, he smirked at Tina before he teased, “Do you know what’s in this? This is enough to make a good girl become a bad lady.”

With that, he injected the substance into her arm under her fearful gaze.

Tina’s facial expression immediately changed as she started to struggle with all her might while she screamed, “Let me go! I’m warning you guys to let me go at this instant, or I’ll make you guys regret ever being alive!”

“You’ll make us regret ever being alive?” The men couldn’t help but snort while the one holding the syringe gave her a slap.

“Ouch!” Tina’s face was pushed to the other side from the force of the slap. She could feel her cheek burning as her brain buzzed and the corner of her lips started to bleed. She looked like she was in a mess.

Then, the man threw the syringe aside before he grabbed her by her hair and cured, “How dare you try to threaten us instead of begging us for mercy when you’re just our toy? Do you think that we are afraid to touch you? If that’s so, we can’t disappoint you now, can we? I can’t believe she used to be the Fuller Group president’s ex-wife. I’m getting tingly just at the thought of screwing rich women!”

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 272

The men became excited and they started to shred Tina’s clothes into pieces.

As she regained her senses, she shrieked with a twisted look on her face. “I’m not the ex-wife of the president of Fuller Group! You guys have mistaken me for someone else! I’m not Sonia!”

Tina finally understood why she was kidnapped and why these people claimed that they were going to give her a special treatment.

It was because these bunch of fools had mistaken her for Sonia.

As expected, the men stopped after hearing her.

The man who previously injected her asked as well, “You’re not Sonia?!”

Tina, whose eyes were reddened, quickly nodded. “No, I’m Tina. Your client’s friend!”

“Well…” All of the men turned around to look at the one with the camera.

However, the man who was filming replied nonchalantly, “Don’t listen to her; she’s lying. Our client had mentioned that Sonia has a red mole on her wrist and this girl clearly has it as well, so she’s definitely Sonia. Moreover, the client also said that she’s an intelligent girl, and she might try to fool us by claiming that she’s not just so that she can escape. You guys can’t be fooled by her!”

Upon hearing that, the men checked Tina’s wrist to see a red mole there.

Even Tina was dumbfounded.

She had always known that she had a red mole on her wrist, but she never knew that Sonia had one as well! Could this be a coincidence? It is extremely rare to have a red mole, not to mention them being in the same place. It’s just impossible! Something’s wrong.

Still, before Tina could figure out what was wrong, the man who injected her earlier slapped her on the other cheek and roared in anger, “How dare you lie to us?! Guys, let’s do the deed!”

Then, the other men nodded at each other before they all pounced on Tina as if they had been deprived.

Tim and Carl looked devoid of any emotions as they stood at the entrance of the garage while her pitiful shrieks continued ringing out from inside.

They both felt that Tina finally paid for her actions.

It was a shame that she tried to get Sonia killed in the first place!

……

Under the street lights’ illumination at night, a few suspicious-looking men carried a sack to the city. Then, they threw the bag onto the ground while no one was noticing before they quickly left.

Not long after their departure, someone stumbled upon the sack and went to investigate out of curiosity to find a naked girl inside before he quickly filed a police report.

The news of the daughter of Triforce Enterprise’s president being found naked and seemingly assaulted went viral on every social media platform.

In no time, everyone on the Internet was discussing it.

At the same time, Sonia, who was about to head to bed, received an unexpected call from Tim. “Check the Internet!”

“Why?” She was confused.

Then, he adjusted his glasses. “Remember that I told you that I was going to subdue Tina today? You can check the Internet for the results.”

Upon hearing him, the exhaustion in Sonia’s eyes immediately disappeared as she got off her bed and walked toward her study room.

As soon as she opened her laptop, all of the related articles about Tina popped up before she could even search for them.

Sonia saw a video footage after she tapped into the news article.

Although the footage lasted less than a minute, it contained a huge load of information.

She could see a naked woman being released from the sack by a female police officer. Then, the female police officer covered the naked woman with a rug and escorted her to a nearby waiting ambulance.

The footage ended shortly after the ambulance left.

Although the woman’s appearance was masked with mosaics, Sonia could still recognize that the woman in question was Tina.

“Did you get your men to discard her there?” Sonia took her phone again to ask Tim.

He nodded slightly in response. “Yes.”

“Aren’t you afraid of being found out?” Sonia raised her eyebrows.

Nonetheless, he chuckled. “Are you worried about me?”

“I’m not,” Sonia answered lightly.

Still, Tim merely shrugged and he wasn’t angry at all.

After all, how could he be exasperated with his guardian angel?

“Don’t worry, no one will discover me,” he replied while he stared at Carl, who was seated in front of the computer and tapping away on the keyboard.

As Sonia was unaware of his situation, her eyes narrowed. “Are you sure?”

“Of course!” Tim nodded once again.

His response had caused Sonia to purse her lips. “If that’s the case, good luck to you.”

“Thank you.” He chuckled with a deep voice before he asked again, “Do you like the result?”

Since she knew that he was asking whether she liked seeing Tina in this state, she smirked a little before replying, “If I’m being honest, I actually do. Still, I’m not one to promote using violence to settle issues. Instead, I would prefer for her to be imprisoned.”

After seeing the footage, Sonia finally came to believe that Tim wasn’t on Tina’s side, which was why she was willing to speak more with him now.

“I know what you mean. However, we don’t have any criminal record of Tina or any evidence of her committing her crimes even when we all knew what she did to you. We can only do this to subdue her since there’s no way to send her to prison,” Tim explained as he massaged his temples.

Since he used to mistake Tina for his angel, even when he knew that Tina had done something against the law, he would never leave any evidence of her doing so and even helped to clear her mess.

At this moment, Tim really regretted having done so in the past.

Sonia sighed. “Yeah, we don’t have any evidence. The only evidence I previously had on Tina was also snatched by you too!”

If she had the evidence, she would have sent Tina to prison a long time ago.

Even if Toby had wanted to protect Tina at that time, he wouldn’t have been able to!

After all, Tina’s voice in the recording was clear and she sounded logical. It was obvious that she wasn’t schizophrenic based on the recording.

34446

A glimpse of guilt and awkwardness then appeared in Tim’s usual cold eyes as he rubbed the tip of his nose. Then, he apologized, “I’m sorry!”

“It’s fine. It’s too late anyway. What’s Tina’s situation right now?” Sonia waved her hands before changing the topic to what it was.

Tim’s glasses reflected the light in the room as he answered, “Her condition is rather bad. She was completely battered as her ovaries were badly injured and had to be removed. She won’t be able to get pregnant for the rest of her life.”

This was the result that Tim had received after checking on Tina before he asked his men to throw her in the city.

Sonia inhaled a cold breath. “Seriously?!”0

0

The removal of ovaries was an extremely cruel thing to do to a woman.

Still, she figured that it wasn’t as bad as Tina wanting to take her life away.0

After recomposing her emotions, Sonia yawned before saying, “Alright. I should sleep now since it’s already late. I’ll see what happens tomorrow.”

“Sure.” Tim nodded. “Go to rest.”

After hanging up, she turned off her laptop and went back to her room.

At the same time, Tina was being wheeled out of the operation room and pushed to her ward.

At the side of the hospital bed sat Julia; she was a sobbing mess as she looked at a completely pale Tina, who looked like she was dead. “Tina! My dear Tina… Sob, sob…”

Meanwhile, Titus, who was also in the ward, was smoking by the windowsill when he heard Julia’s cries, which further annoyed him.

After throwing his cigarette butt on the ground and flattening it, he scolded, “That’s enough. Stop crying, it’s annoying!”

Julia then stopped crying before giving Titus a furious look. “Titus Gray, how dare you become annoyed when I’m crying because of what happened to our daughter? Are you insane?!”

“You—” Titus was too stunned to speak before his head started to ache. As a result, he merely sighed. “Alright, alright. Do whatever you want!”

Immediately, she started to cry again. “Titus, look at what happened! Why did this befall Tina? This is not how it’s supposed to be!”

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 273

Titus’ face darkened as he stared at an unconscious Tina. “Exactly! How could something like this happen to Tina? Our plans are ruined now!”

Julia glared at him. “Is this still the time to worry about your plan? Aren’t you worried about your daughter?”

“I won’t be here if I’m not worried, alright? I’m just stressed out. Now that Tina’s news is all over the Internet, Toby would find out about this and the engagement would surely be called off.” He pinched his forehead.

When she finally realized the degree of the situation that they were in, she stopped crying and urged, “What… What can we do now?”

Nevertheless, Titus looked depressed. “What else can we do?”

Even if Toby really loved Tina, he would surely call the engagement off after what had happened to her since no one would want to be cheated on.

Moreover, everyone else would make fun of him.

“Is the engagement really over?” Julia was in disbelief. How would the others perceive me now that the engagement is over?

“Obviously. We have no choice but to agree to call off the engagement to Toby. In fact, we should be the ones who call it off. Now that everyone in the circle knows about what happened to Tina, they would make fun of us even more and look down upon us if we don’t do it. They might even say that we are leeching off the Fuller Family,” Titus explained with a tired look.

Meanwhile, Julia started to cry again. “Why did this happen to us?”

Nevertheless, he didn’t say anything as he stared at Tina in displeasure. Why did this happen to us? Who else can we blame besides Tina? Why must she leave the house when she could have just stayed at home? Great, everyone is going to make fun of us now.

At this moment, someone outside the hospital ward knocked on the door before the door opened to reveal his assistant walking in.

“What’s wrong?” Titus turned toward his assistant and asked.

Then, the assistant answered, “President Gray, this is bad. Many reporters have gathered outside the hospital to get the latest news on Miss Gray.”

Upon hearing that, Titus’ face immediately darkened while Julia’s face flushed red from anger. “What?! Make them leave!” How dare those media reporters try to use my daughter to be on the trending news?! These people are heartless!

“Get the security to make them leave! Lodge a police report if they refuse to leave. I’ll sue these people for harassment!” Titus snapped.

Then, his assistant nodded. “Alright, President Gray. I’ll immediately handle it.”

With that, he turned around and left.

The doctor entered the ward moments after the assistant’s departure.

“Mr. Gray, after using Miss Gray’s bodily fluid to conduct a test, the results showed that there were six men involved,” the doctor reported before he shot Tina an odd look.

In the past, he didn’t believe that the circle of elite people was wild, but he now believed it.

“Six men?!” Julia stood up in shock when she heard the doctor’s words before her body started to tremble.

Even Titus was horrified that his daughter was assaulted by that many men.

“Tina… My poor Tina…” Julia fell on Tina’s body and she started to bawl her eyes out.

Titus, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the wall. “F*ck!”

“Titus, you must avenge our daughter!” She looked up at him.

At this moment, Titus took a deep breath to suppress his raging anger and he nodded with a grim look. “Of course, I’ll immediately lodge a police report and send those six a*sholes to prison!”

Then, he took his phone out and called the police as Julia pondered for a moment before she followed suit.

Since Tina’s engagement with Toby wasn’t called off yet, Julia figured that she should still inform him about what happened to Tina since the two youngsters were still legally engaged. What if Toby suddenly feels pity toward Tina after what has happened and doesn’t want to call the engagement off anymore?

Julia contacted Toby with that in mind.

When Toby accepted Julia’s call, he asked with a cold voice, “What happened?”

“Toby, something has happened to Tina. You—”

“I know,” he calmly answered as he sat in the living room and stared at the television in front of him.

At the same time, the television was reporting the news of what happened to Tina. Still, Toby looked extremely calm as if she was merely a stranger and not his fiancée.

Unable to accept his attitude, Julia snapped, “Toby, since you knew what has happened to Tina, how could you still be so calm?!”

“Why not? What am I supposed to do then?” he retorted coldly.

His response caused Julia to tighten her grip on her phone. “Can’t you visit her at the hospital?”

Yet, his phone was snatched right when he wanted to say something.

Jean had Toby’s phone in one hand while she rested her other hand on her waist. Her chubby figure and the way she stood made her look comedic. “Why should he visit her? What’s in it for us to visit a discarded trash?” she yelled into the phone with a disdainful tone.

While she used to love Tina a lot, her impression toward Tina had completely changed after the assault.

There was no way a tainted woman would be able to marry Toby and enter the Fuller Family!

The moment she heard Jean’s voice, Julia was so pissed off that she felt like she was about to faint. “H-How dare you insult my daughter like that!”

“Am I wrong? She was played with and thrown to the streets completely naked! Even the prostitutes here don’t do something as outrageous as she did!” Jean continued to yell.

Julia trembled as she protested, “H-How dare you…”

As she was born in a wealthy family, she never stood a chance against Jean, who came from a poor family, in a screaming match.

After copping a few insults from Jean, Julia had completely lost her ability to fight back.

Jean sneered at this moment. “What makes you think that you can force my son to visit that trash you call your daughter? Stop dreaming!”34447

Then, she hung up and returned Toby his phone; her anger had completely dissipated before a smile appeared on her face. “Toby, don’t visit Tina, do you hear me?”

A ghost of a smile flashed past his gaze before he nodded a little. “Don’t worry, I wasn’t planning to visit her either.”

“That’s good to know!” The smile on Jean’s face deepened while he lowered his gaze. “I’m planning to call off our engagement.”

A stunned Jean quickly nodded. “Of course. The engagement must be called off now that Tina has been assaulted. I’ll introduce you to more girls once the engagement is over.”

0

However, Toby frowned. “Let’s not discuss that now, Mom. You should head to rest now.”0

“Sure, I’m tired anyway. I’ll head back to my room now.” Jean yawned before she started to head upstairs.

0

Yet, he remained seated on the couch as he continued to stare at the television, which was still reporting details about Tina’s assault.

It was mentioned that she was found naked in a sack in the city, which made something obviously wrong with this.

Usually, an assailant would bring the woman whom they wanted to assault to somewhere without any surveillance so that they wouldn’t be found out.

However, it was different for Tina. Those men who assaulted her had stuffed her into a sack and threw her into the city as if they wanted people to learn that she was assaulted as soon as possible so that news about it would spread.

Toby narrowed his eyes.

Although it was already obvious that the person behind this aimed to destroy Tina’s life, the identity of the person still remained unknown.

As he pondered about this issue, Toby’s phone rang again.

Toby saw it was a call from Tom after glancing at his phone.

“What’s wrong?” Toby asked after he answered the phone.

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 274

Tom’s helpless voice rang out. “President Fuller, I have received many calls from different news outlets wanting to have an interview with you. I’m guessing that all of them want to know your thoughts about Tina’s current situation.”

Toby frowned. “Which media outlets?”

“All of them besides the biggest few.”

He pursed his lips. “Warn them that they should be prepared for their company to face bankruptcy if they want to interview me!”

“Yes!” Tom nodded without any hesitance.

To be honest, he thought that those media outlets deserved what was coming to them. How dare they try to secure an interview with President Fuller at this time just to stay valid! Are they serious?

“By the way, President Fuller…” He thought of something and asked, “Remember when you wanted me to ask Miles whether he knew that your heart belongs to Quentin? I’ve already asked him and it seems like he has always known about it. That’s why he has been secretly observing you for the past six years and immediately appeared after the effect of the hypnosis on you weakened.”

Toby nodded a little. “I see!”

“Besides that, he will come to the company tomorrow to help to remove the hypnosis and the ideomotor effects as well as releasing your blocked memories,” Tom continued with his words.

After Toby hummed as a response, he asked, “Have you completed your investigation on Quentin’s death?”

“No.” Tom shook his head regretfully. “It happened six years ago after all, so it’ll be hard to investigate it again. I’ve already contacted the transport department and asked them to look for the footage of Quentin’s accident back then. If they can locate it, we will be able to start our investigation based on the surveillance. However, it will be arduous if they can’t find it.”

Toby’s gaze darkened. “You can try by investigating Tina.”

“That probably won’t work.” Tom sighed. “If Quentin’s death is really related to her, she would never admit it. Even if she did, she could still argue in court that we forced her to admit that she was guilty since we can’t produce any decisive evidence. By then, she would still be released without any charges!”

Upon hearing that, Toby’s frown deepened.

Indeed, it was hard to sentence Tina without any concrete evidence against her. If it weren’t the case, he would have thrown her behind bars when his hypnosis weakened.

Still, Toby had no evidence of her trying to harm Sonia. Although Charles and Zane had witnessed what Tina did, they were Sonia’s acquaintances. It would make it easier for Tina to argue in court that those two were taking Sonia’s side.

Of course, Toby could always do things his way if the law couldn’t make Tina pay for what she did.

At the thought of that, his eyes glistened a little before he coldly instructed, “Alright. Continue investigating Quentin’s death. Also, generate a report based on all the past projects between us and Triforce Entreprise. I want it ready before the press release tomorrow.”

As he understood that Toby was preparing to completely sever ties with Triforce Enterprise, Tom nodded. “I’ll get to it!”

After that, Toby placed his phone down and stopped saying anything else.

The next morning, Sonia prepared to head to her office after freshening up and wearing her shoes.

Nonetheless, she noticed the man leaning against the wall right after she opened the door.

“It’s you?” Sonia was stunned as she frowned instinctively before she asked in a displeased tone, “Why are you here?”

After he straightened his back, Toby handed the paper bag that he was holding toward her. “Have you eaten breakfast?”

She eyed the paper bag and asked, “Are you here to bring me breakfast?”

He nodded a little. “I also want to see you as well.”

“That’s funny.” Sonia chuckled coldly. “I don’t want to see you, though!”

At this moment, Toby’s gaze dimmed a little before he quickly recomposed himself and gently explained, “I bought you mango porridge and mango sago, which are your favorites. Why don’t you try them?”

Nevertheless, she wasn’t surprised when he knew what her favorite foods were since she mentioned them in the letters after all.

“Did you used to prepare these for Tina as well?” She raised her eyebrows and asked after she refused to accept the paper bag.

Although Toby had realized that Sonia’s question would be the death of him, he still opened his mouth and truthfully answered, “Yes!”

There was no point to lie since he really did it before.

Still, he didn’t know Tina was impersonating Sonia at that time!

On the other hand, Sonia was surprised by Toby’s honest answer.

However, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted by the fact that he had prepared the same breakfast for Tina and her even though he was being honest.

“President Fuller, I think you should bring these for Miss Gray since I don’t want them anyway. I don’t like to eat these anymore.” Then, Sonia walked past Toby and wanted to leave.

Nevertheless, he suddenly grabbed her hand with an apologetic look. “I’m so sorry that I wasn’t considerate enough. Next time, I’ll—”

“There’s no next time!” Sonia interrupted him before she exclaimed coldly, “Don’t you understand me, President Fuller? I just don’t want to receive things from you, that’s all!”

Toby pursed his lips.

It was obvious what she meant, but he refused to acknowledge it.

“President Fuller, can you let me go now?” Sonia’s voice rang out.

As he blinked slightly, he came back to his senses and released his grip on her.

Then, Sonia started to smoothen her sleeve as if something had dirtied it.

When Toby saw that, his hand that was holding the paper bag clenched up a little. Does she really hate me that much?

“Alright, President Fuller.” Sonia glanced at Toby nonchalantly after she patted her sleeve. “I hope you won’t come over to my place anymore because your action bothers me. Why can’t you accompany your fiancée now? I’m sure she really needs your company after what happened yesterday night. Won’t you feel sorry for her since you keep running back to your ex-wife?”

“I didn’t do anything wrong toward her.” His face darkened as he hated whenever she kept trying to push him toward another woman. “Besides, she won’t be my fiancée after today.”

“What do you mean?” Sonia’s eyes widened in shock.

Then, she recalled Tyler contacting her a few days ago to inform her that Toby was planning to call off the engagement to Tina. So, Tyler was actually being serious? This isn’t a joke?

As expected, what Toby said in the next second proved that her thought was correct.

“I’m calling off my engagement to Tina during my press release at 10:00AM. You must watch it!” he said.

However, Sonia frowned. “Why should I watch it? I’m not interested in your issues.”

Still, Toby wasn’t angered by her rejection. Instead, he smiled lightly and continued, “It’s fine if you don’t want to. I’ll call you and tell you everything that happened during the press release after it ends.”

Then, he stared at Sonia for a little longer before he turned to the elevator.

34448

As she watched him leaving, she responded, “I don’t want to listen to your explanation on what happens afterward. I’m telling you, I won’t accept your calls!”

At this instance, Toby paused before he acted like he didn’t hear her words and quickly entered the elevator.

When Tom saw Toby returning downstairs with the paper bag still in hand, Tom wasn’t surprised. He remarked in an attempt to console Toby, “As expected, Sonia would accept anyone’s gifts besides yours.”

Although Toby knew that Tom was correct, his expression still darkened. “Even if you don’t speak, no one will say that you are a mute!”

“Haha!” Tom scratched his head and chuckled.0

0

Toby suddenly threw the paper bag at him. “Finish all of them!”

“A-All of them?!” Tom reached out to catch the paper bag clumsily as he raised his voice in disbelief.0

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 275

Toby nodded emotionlessly. “That’s right. All of them!”

Tom’s lips twitched. “President Fuller, wouldn’t that be too much? I just ate breakfast not long ago—”

“Eat!” Toby interrupted.

At this moment, Tom looked like he was about to cry as he held the breakfast with a portion enough for two. Revenge. This is definitely a revenge for what he said earlier! If only I knew how petty he was, I shouldn’t have said so much! I really miscalculated this time! While he stared at the paper bag that he held, he couldn’t help but shake his head bitterly.

As the time slowly passed by, it was soon 10:00AM. When Sonia finished dealing with her documents, she gave them to Daphne before turning to the computer and contemplated whether she should watch Toby’s press release.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to take a look. I mean, why not? It would be a waste if I miss out on watching the cancellation of Tina’s engagement.

With that, Sonia navigated her mouse toward Fuller Group’s official website. In the livestream, Toby was standing on the podium of the meeting room with a microphone in his hand while he stoically stared at the reporters below him.

Meanwhile, his gaze had intimidated all of the reporters present, which rendered the initially noisy meeting room quiet almost immediately. On the other hand, the entire barrage screen was filled with comments that complimented him for his looks as well as those who were curious about the context of the press release.

Still, many of the viewers had already figured that the press release would be related to Tina. After all, it was obvious as to why Toby held a press release almost immediately after what had happened to her yesterday night.

“Have you guys finally decided to shut up?” Toby finally asked as the reporters below him bobbed their heads up and down like elementary kids, causing all of the online viewers to laugh.

It was a well known fact that reporters could be really annoying and courageous and they would risk everything including their own life for juicy information. Yet, they looked like they were mice that had seen a cat when they saw Toby. As expected, nothing was invincible in this world.

“Since everyone is silent now, I shall now explain why I have decided to hold a press release today, which is related to my engagement with the Gray Family. I hereby announce that my engagement with Miss Gray has officially ended from today onward!” Toby declared in a calm manner as he stared at the camera.

As expected, none of the reporters or the livestream viewers were shocked as it was something predicted. It was normal for Toby to call off the engagement because of what happened to Tina. It was already hard for a man to accept the fact that his significant order was assaulted; it would even be exceptionally arduous for elite families due to their reputation. Hence, none of the audience members thought that it was wrong for him to revoke the engagement.

Still, there were a few who thought that he went overboard as he shouldn’t have called off the engagement when she was in such a situation. It would’ve been devastating for her to additionally deal with the pain of her engagement being called off. Nevertheless, these people were quickly shut down by the other netizens who were more level-headed.

At the same time, Sonia, who was watching from her laptop, understood at that moment that Toby was no longer associated with Tina from now on. However, she couldn’t help but feel like laughing as Tony and Tina were engaged in a highly prolific manner only three months ago. Although she had ruined their engagement ceremony in the end, the entire world was still aware that Toby and Tina were officially engaged. Now, the same couple that used to flaunt their relationship everywhere became everyone’s laughing stock.

The news of Tina being assaulted became everyone’s gossip material and she probably wouldn’t want to leave her house anymore. As for him, no one dared to make fun of him because of his status. However, they would definitely laugh at him behind closed doors for being cheated on.

At this moment, Sonia had a gloating look in her eyes as she played with her pen.

On the other hand, Carl, Charles and Zane were all watching the livestream at their respective houses as well. Upon hearing Toby’s announcement that he was calling off his engagement with Tina, all of them were not elated with the news—even though the three of them had different expressions. They all really wanted Toby to be trapped with her forever. However, they also knew that it was impossible, so they could only watch as he called off his engagement with Tina.

At the press release, one of the reporters asked, “President Fuller, are you calling off the engagement on your own accord? Or, have you discussed it with the Gray Family?”

Toby glanced at the reporter. “What’s the difference between those two? Stop asking questions that are wasting everyone’s time. Next!”

Immediately, the reporter’s face flushed before he sat down.

Another reporter then stood up as well. “President Fuller, I’ve heard from my sources that you’ve been wanting to call off the engagement with Miss Gray for a while now. Is that true?”

As soon as that question came forth, everyone’s eyes brightened. President Fuller already had the intention to call off the engagement with Miss Gray previously? Looks like there’s more to this than meets the eye.

Toby narrowed his eyes. “Where did you hear that from?”

Instead of hiding the truth, the reporter answered, “I have a friend who works in Triforce Enterprise. He overheard it when President Gray was on the phone with someone else.”

At that, Toby raised his head a little. “You’re right; I was already preparing to call off the engagement with Miss Gray before yesterday night’s events.”

What he said immediately shocked all of the reporters as well as the livestream viewers. At the same time, they all couldn’t help but wonder why Toby wanted to do so. Even Sonia was curious about it.

Although Tyler had mentioned that Toby was preparing to call off his engagement to Tina, he didn’t mention the reason behind it, so Sonia was quite curious to know about it as well. Apart from her, Charles, Zane and Carl were just as inquisitive as they intently stared at Toby on the screen.

“Could you tell us the reason why, President Fuller?” the reporter asked without bothering to mask his excitement

Toby pursed his lips before he answered, “I can’t continue being together with a calculative and vicious woman who takes advantage of me.”

This immediately caused an uproar. Calculative and vicious. These two words were enough for everyone to imagine all sorts of things.

At the same time, Titus, who was still in the hospital ward, was so pissed off that he almost threw the remote control toward the television when he heard that.

Julia started to tear up. “How could Toby say that? Isn’t calling off the engagement already enough? Why would he still say those words to destroy Tina’s image? Is he trying to ruin her life?”

Since Toby had publicly made his claim, most would definitely assume that his words were true—Tina was a vicious woman. After all, no one would believe that a president of a huge enterprise would lie in front of the public.

Tina, who had been labeled as a vicious woman, would be placed under the spotlight right after. Even if the news of her assault would soon be forgotten, people would still remember her as a vicious woman and no one would dare to approach her. Moreover, her familial education and her parents’ attitude would be brought into question as well. People would start to keep their distance from the Gray Family and might even discriminate against them.

While Julia, the family housewife, was worried about all these, Titus had already pondered the possibilities of it happening as he gritted his teeth and glared at Toby from the television screen. However, Titus didn’t say anything and no one could tell what he was thinking about.

At the same time, Sonia, who was still at Paradigm Co., never expected Toby to reveal that Tina was vicious in front of the public. Although he didn’t reveal what Tina did, his accusation alone was enough to trigger everyone’s imagination to wildly roam.

What Toby just did had pushed Tina off the cliff, making it hard for her to rise in society again. Sonia thought, Why would he do that, though? Is it just because Tina has impersonated me?

Even Zane was shocked. Still, a knowing smile appeared on his face after he overcame his initial shock. “You desire for the ones whom you love to live and the ones you hate to die. Toby Fuller, you’re indeed a terrifying man!”

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 276

On site, the press conference was still going on. The reporter continued to ask, “President Fuller, why did you say that Miss Gray is heartless? Did she do something? Can you explain in more detail?”34449

Reporters from the other media companies and the audience watching the live broadcast were all looking expectantly at Toby. For them, apart from the gossip of the entertainment industry, gossip about the wealthy was the next thing that interested them most. They were especially curious because such experiences were out of their reach.

Toby pursed his thin lips. “No. All you need to know is that this is the real reason I broke off the engagement. There’s no need to know anything more. Alright. This is the end of today’s press conference!” With that, he set down the microphone, placed his hands in his trouser pockets, and strode out of the conference room.

The main reason why he didn’t want to reveal Tina’s revolting deeds to the public was because he didn’t want to push Sonia into the limelight. Even if Sonia was the victim of Tina’s actions, some people with ulterior motives would wonder whether Sonia had done something that made Tina treat her like that.

Toby’s departure made things difficult for the audience watching the live broadcast and the media personnel at the press conference. He had aroused their curiosity by dropping a heavy bomb, but without showing them what was inside, he walked off instead. It simply wasn’t a reasonable thing to do. However, they dared not stop Toby, so they could only turn their hopeful gaze to his assistant, hoping that he could give them an answer.

When Tom saw the look in their eyes, the corners of his lips kept twitching. He could tell from a glance what these people were thinking. If he was being honest, he felt that his boss was being a little unreasonable too. He left during the climax of the situation and left Tom to handle the mess. Nevertheless, Toby was the boss!0

After silently sighing, Tom picked up the microphone and started to deal with the media. Of course, the media wasn’t going to get any information out of him. In the end, they were left with no choice but to leave the Fuller Group and head to Triforce Enterprise in hopes of interviewing Titus to see if they could dig something up.

0

However, Titus didn’t agree to being interviewed; he simply posted a video on his official page. In the video, Titus’ eyes were red, and his expression was haggard, painting a proper image of the grief caused by the incident involving his daughter.

Looking at the camera, he said, “Hello everyone, I’m Titus Gray. In the past two days, the matter of my daughter being bullied has been widely discussed on the Internet. I’m sorry for occupying Internet resources. At the same time, I also hope that all the netizens would stop paying attention to this matter. My daughter is the victim. She’s still in the ICU ward and has not woken up yet. If she wakes up and sees so many people on the Internet talking about her tragedy, she would be devastated!”

At this point, he raised his hand, wiped the corner of his eye, then said, “As for what President Fuller said just now at the press conference about my daughter being heartless, that was completely slander. I admit that my daughter has some personality flaws, but she’s definitely not heartless. Did she harm someone? Isn’t everyone doing just fine? So, I urge everyone not to believe President Fuller’s statements and to stop posting those cold-hearted comments on the Internet. You should know that your comments may turn into a knife that could kill my daughter!”

Taking a deep breath, Titus stared into the camera, as if he was looking at someone through the lens. “President Fuller, I don’t know why you would say such things about Tina, but you’ve loved each other before. In some way, it’s unfair for you to say that about her. Of course, I know that Tina being bullied has brought you humiliation, so you were eager to break off the engagement. I understand and I accept it. From now on, the Fullers and the Grays are no longer acquainted. Okay, that’s all I want to say. Thank you everyone!”

With that, he gave a deep bow at the camera, and the video ended.

Regardless of whether they were originally disgusted with Tina’s behavior or were merely passers-by, netizens who watched the video changed their attitude toward the situation.

‘That’s right. Tina is the victim, and it’s not like she wanted to be bullied. Yet, those netizens are still scolding her for being shameless and saying disgusting remarks such as ‘it takes two to tango’. I really doubt whether they have any ethics. Aren’t they worried that the victim would commit suicide after seeing these comments as soon as she wakes up?’

‘These keyboard warriors aren’t scared. They just care about themselves. They don’t care about how the victim feels.’

‘I think that President Gray made sense. President Fuller called Tina heartless, but we didn’t see her do anything evil. So, whether this is true or not remains to be proven. Not to mention, he and Tina were in love before, so whatever the case, him saying such things about her is considered quite lacking in class too.’

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet. Some believed in Toby, while some scolded him. Nevertheless, all of them now sympathized with Tina.

In the president’s office at the Fuller Group, Toby read these comments without the slightest expression on his face, but his body exuded an air of coldness.

Standing behind him, Tom pushed his glasses up and said, “I have to say: Titus is quite skillful. He placed all the blame on you and the people who bullied Tina. They’ve become purely victims, not at all at fault.”

Originally, after Toby revealed Tina’s true colors, people on the Internet seemed to believe that she was indeed such a person, so even though Tina was bullied, they weren’t sympathetic and applauded Toby for breaking off the engagement.

However, now that Titus’ video had been published, the situation was reversed. Netizens began to wonder whether Toby’s statements were true, but most of them reckoned he wasn’t telling the truth. It was mainly because they didn’t see what Tina had done, so she was once again the victim of this incident. And people often subconsciously sympathized with the weak and the victims, so currently, all the bad comments about Tina on the Internet had ceased, and Triforce Enterprise’s stock market had also risen. In short, Titus killed two birds with one stone! In fact, it was more like killing three birds with one stone!

Titus had also retaliated against Toby for breaking off the engagement, because what Titus said just now clearly meant that Toby had deliberately slandered Tina. As a man who defamed his ex-fiancee after breaking off his engagement, he would naturally trigger the netizens’ malice. Now, many netizens were starting to scold him. As most people would say—the older, the wiser.

Thinking that, Tom ruefully shook his head.

Similarly, another person who understood all of this was Sonia. She was even more aware than anyone that the old fox, Titus, wasn’t easy to deal with. Therefore, she couldn’t lower her guard just because she had defeated Titus several times before, or else she would be taken out in a flash. At this thought, Sonia slightly narrowed her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, her expression solemn.

Meanwhile, Carl had turned off the computer and was on the phone with Tim. “When do you plan to release Tina’s video? Titus has completely cleared her name.”

“There’s no hurry,” Tim replied, light reflecting in his eyes. “I’ll make a decision after Tina wakes up. She’ll definitely do something, so when the video is released then, she’ll be pushed into the abyss again.”

Carl nodded thoughtfully. “All right.”

Then, Tim asked, “Have you taken care of the surveillance footage?”

“Yes. I’ll send it to you in a while,” Carl replied.

Tim answered, “Okay.”

At the Fuller Group, after reading the summary of all their cooperations with Triforce Enterprise, Toby handed them to Tom. “Release a notice stating that, starting today, all cooperations with Triforce Enterprise are canceled!”

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 277

Since Titus raised Triforce Enterprise’s stock price at his expense, Toby would return the favor!

“Understood, but the liquidated damages—”

“Just pay the penalty!” Toby said with pursed lips.

Titus must have made those remarks in the video because he figured that Toby wouldn’t cancel their cooperation due to the liquidated damages.

It was a pity that Triforce Enterprise wasn’t as rich as the Fuller Group, and Titus wasn’t as rich as he was; he didn’t care about this penalty at all.

“Okay.” Tom nodded and went to carry out the task.

About half an hour later, Titus received a notice about the cancellation of their cooperation, and their finance department received payment from the Fuller Group for the liquidated damages as well.

At this moment, Titus was completely dumbfounded.

He knew that what he said in the video would offend Toby.

But he didn’t expect that Toby would rather pay for the liquidated damages than continue his cooperation with Triforce Enterprise!

Suddenly, Titus started panicking.

It was worth noting that Triforce Enterprise’s situation had long started going downhill, and the reason why it was still among the top ten enterprises in Seafield was because of their cooperation with the Fuller Group.

Now that their cooperation was gone, Titus dared not even imagine what Triforce Enterprise’s downfall would be like, and the company’s directors wouldn’t let him off the hook either.

Speak of the devil—there was a knock on the office door, and Titus’ assistant came in anxiously. “President Gray, I have some bad news. Director Walker and the others have called for a meeting and are requesting your presence.”

Titus’ pupils shrank, and his heart fell.

Then, he got up from the chair with a wry smile; he seemed to have aged a decade.

“I see. Let’s go, then!”

At the Fuller Group, Tom reported Triforce Enterprise’s current situation to Toby.

While going through some documents, Toby grunted an answer without raising his head to indicate that he had gotten the message.

At this moment, Tom’s phone rang.

“President Fuller, I need to answer this call,” Tom said while looking at Toby, who gave a slight nod.

“Go on.”

After getting permission, Tom took out his phone and raised his eyebrows when he saw the caller ID before answering.

Two minutes later, he hung up the phone and looked at Toby. “President Fuller, Mr. Snyder is here!”

Upon hearing this, Toby stopped moving the pen in his hand, then raised his head and narrowed his eyes while urging unabashedly, “Bring him in!”

“All right. I’ll go get him,” Tom informed before going out to fetch Miles.

In no time, Miles Snyder appeared in Toby’s office, expressionless as usual in a white shirt and trousers.

Toby looked at him in an equally indifferent manner.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and Toby was the one to break the strange silence.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know that the heart I have now belonged to your brother,” Toby stood up and said.

Miles’ silver-gray eyes landed on his chest. “Quentin gave it to you willingly, so you don’t have to say sorry to me.”

Willingly?

A gleam flashed across Toby’s eyes.

Perhaps Quentin had indeed given it to him willingly, just as Quentin had willingly fulfilled Tina’s wishes and got Miles to hypnotize him.

However, he still reckoned there was something fishy about Quentin’s car accident.

And Miles didn’t seem to realize that there was a problem.

Oblivious to what Toby was thinking, Miles looked at Toby and asked, “Can we start now?”

Toby returned to his senses and nodded slightly. “Yes.”

Forget it. I won’t tell him for now.

It wouldn’t be too late even if he waited until the results of his investigation came out.

Miles motioned for Toby to sit down.

After sitting down, Toby suddenly thought of something and pursed his thin lips. “Tim said that I have a memory that has been sealed. What kind of memory is it?”

Previously, when he had a headache, the image that flashed through his mind was definitely his sealed memory.

But, the image flashed past so fast that he couldn’t capture it at all, so he still didn’t know what memory it was.

There was no change in Miles’ expression and eyes as he replied coldly, “It’s your memory of discovering that Tina isn’t Maple.”

“What?” Toby’s pupils shrank, then he looked gloomily at Miles. “You mean I’ve long discovered that Tina isn’t Maple?”

34470

“Yes!” Miles replied while putting on his gloves.

Toby clenched his fists, and his whole body exuded a strong pressure.

Miles glanced at him. “Sorry.”

Hearing his apology, Toby narrowed his eyes, then quickly suppressed his anger and calmed down.

If he was being honest, when he heard that Miles had sealed his memory, he was furious and wanted to kill the latter.0

0

However, when he thought of the fact that the heart he currently had belonged to Miles’ younger brother, he could only let the matter go.

“Let’s get started. Undo the hypnosis and the spiritual block, and unbind the memories,” Toby said a little tiredly as he waved his hand.0

Miles gave a slight nod. “Close your eyes.”

Toby did as he was told.

All of a sudden, he heard the sharp sound of fingers snapping, and his head grew dizzy.

In the next second, he completely lost consciousness and plunged into darkness.

He wasn’t aware of how long it lasted, but he saw a white light in the darkness, so he subconsciously followed it. Then, he woke up.

Looking at Miles, who was sitting across the desk while drinking tea, Toby rubbed his temples. “It’s done?”

“It’s done!” Miles put down his teacup. “I’ve already gotten rid of the hypnosis and the spiritual block. You won’t be affected in any way in the future. As for your memory, I’ve also unlocked it. If you think about it, you’ll be able to recall that memory.”

When Toby heard this, he rubbed his thumb, then lowered his gaze and tried to recall it.

After a while, he saw the image in his mind that used to flash past rapidly now slowly appear.

Toby conformed the images and obtained a complete memory.

Six years ago, shortly after he met with Tina to confirm their relationship, he had already discovered that she wasn’t Maple.

The flaws in Tina’s character were so obvious that it was hard not to notice.

However, just when he was about to ask Tom to find out where the real Maple was, he met Miles. Then, Miles hypnotized him, causing him to forget the memory of when he discovered that Tina wasn’t Maple.

Toby’s eyes turned red; his fists were tightly clenched, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

It turned out that he had already known that Tina wasn’t Maple, but he forgot it because of Miles.

If Miles hadn’t taken action at the time, he and Sonia would never have gotten to this point!

Thinking of this, Toby turned his darkened gaze to Miles, and his voice was cold and apprehensive as he spoke. “If it weren’t for Quentin’s heart, I would never let you off the hook!”

Miles remained calm, seemingly not fearful of Toby’s threat.

This was one of the symptoms of Schizoid Personality Disorder. They tended to not have much response to any emotions, and they might not even flinch.

Couldn’t help being a little frustrated, Toby massaged his temples. “As for the hypnosis of my family and Tom, when did you do it?”

“Six years ago, shortly after hypnotizing you, I purposely located them and hypnotized them, then made them forget they saw me,” Miles replied.

Toby pressed his thin lips together in a cold manner. “Undo it all.”

“It’s not necessary. Their hypnosis is very light, so it just prevents them from discovering the flaws in Tina. If you tell them that Tina’s isn’t Maple, their hypnosis will naturally be relieved.”

I see.

Toby lifted his chin and gave a dismissive wave. “Alright. You can go now.”

Tom then sent Miles off.

When Tom returned, Toby ordered, “Contact Miles’ teacher and say that Miles doesn’t need to be confined anymore. Treat it as my repayment for Quentin’s heart!”

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 278

Not too surprised with Toby’s decision, Tom gave a slight nod. “Understood!”

“Go on, and take these documents with you too!” Toby pinched the bridge of his nose.

Tom looked at the stack of documents, then reached out and picked them up.

Soon after he left, Toby’s phone rang. It was Tyler calling.

“Toby, I watched your press conference!” On the other end of the line, Tyler was wearing a basketball uniform and was sweating profusely on a bench by the court, obviously flushed after exercising.

Toby leaned back. “And?”

“Congratulations, of course!” Tyler wiped off his sweat. “Toby, congratulations on getting out of the depths of misery!”

Toby’s thin lips curled up. “Yeah, I know. You have a good game. I’ll hang up first.”

Listening to Tyler’s slightly rapid breathing, Toby guessed that he must be playing.

During this period of time, the under-17 exhibition match was at fever pitch, and there were two to three games daily, so Tyler probably made this call during the break.

Tyler threw his towel aside and hurriedly called out, “Toby, wait! Don’t hang up!”

Toby frowned. “Is there anything else?”

“It’s not a big deal. I just wanted to ask you about what they’re saying on the Internet… About what happened to Tina, is it true?” Tyler asked curiously.

He had just seen the news on the Internet, but he didn’t read it in detail, so he still didn’t know whether or not it was true.

Toby answered, “Yes, it’s true!”

“Damn…” Tyler took a deep breath, feeling utterly shocked.

But, he quickly calmed down, then curled his lips and said, “Sure enough, if you do bad things, you’ll get retribution. She’s done so many bad things to Sonia, so this is her retribution.”

Something flickered across Toby’s eyes.

Tyler’s statements reminded him that Tina’s greatest enemy was Sonia, so perhaps this incident had something to do with her.

Of course, he didn’t mean that Sonia did it. With her character, even if she retaliated against a person, she would only use legal means instead of using such methods. However, this wouldn’t necessarily be the case for the people around her.

So, is it Charles or Carl? Or is it… Zane?

As Toby thought of the way the three people looked at Sonia, his face darkened, and he felt irritated.

These three men had thoughts about Sonia that Toby found annoying, and it was indeed possible for them to do such a thing to Tina for her!

“Toby? Toby?” Tyler raised his voice and shouted after not hearing Toby’s voice for a long time.

Toby’s eyes flashed, and he came back to his senses. “What’s the matter?”

“I just asked you something, but you didn’t respond even after I called your name several times. What are you doing?” Tyler pouted and said unhappily.

Toby rubbed his temples. “I was thinking about something. What did you just ask?”

“I said, why did you break off your engagement with Tina after you were discharged from the hospital?” Tyler repeated his question.

He didn’t believe that it was because Tina was heartless, as his elder brother had said at the press conference.34471

Didn’t Toby already know that Tina is evil? Why didn’t he break off the engagement earlier, but waited until after he got discharged? There must be another reason!

He didn’t ask Toby last time, so this time, he must get a clear answer.

“You should know that I got together with Tina in the first place because I thought she was my pen pal, right?” Toby said bleakly while staring at the computer screen.

Tyler nodded vigorously. “I do!”

0

Although he was still young at that time—he was only ten years old—he knew that his elder brother had a pen pal and had fallen in love with her.0

It was just that he didn’t know Toby’s pen pal’s name. He was a kid after all, so he wasn’t interested in such matters.

0

“I know now that Tina is a fake. She wasn’t my pen pal. My real pen pal was Sonia.” When Toby spoke of Sonia, his voice obviously softened.

“Damn!” Tyler jumped up from the bench in surprise, which startled his coach and teammates, who were next to him.

“Fuller, what are you doing?” His coach warned with a stern expression. “Be quiet. Everyone’s resting.”

Only then did Tyler realize that his reaction was too big, and he smiled sheepishly. “Sorry, coach. My bad.”

After that, he walked out of the court with his phone and went to a quiet area before continuing, “Toby, did you say that Sonia was your pen pal?”

Toby gave a noncommittal grunt.

Tyler scratched his head. “So, Tina pretended to be Sonia?”

Toby grunted in response again.

Tyler angrily pounded the wall. “Damn, Tina is really shameless. I’ve never seen anyone more disgusting than her. She’s truly like a dog in the manger. But, how did she know you and Sonia corresponded?”

“She and Sonia were roommates in university. She read the letter I wrote to Sonia and guessed my identity based on the information in the letter, then pretended to be Sonia.” Toby’s expression was dark as he explained, and his voice was filled with resentment for Tina.

“I see. So, she peeked at Sonia’s letter… Wait—letter?”

At this point, Tyler raised his voice, and his eyes widened as he suddenly remembered something.

Three months ago, he saw a lot of letters at Sonia’s place, and the envelopes were all yellowed, showing that they were obviously timeworn.

Were those the letters…

Gulping, Tyler squeezed the phone with both hands and asked tentatively, “Toby, what were both of your pen names?”

“Why are you asking this?” Toby frowned.

Tyler stomped his feet. “Hey, Toby, answer me first. It’s important!”

Hearing the urgency in his tone, Toby pursed his lips, then slowly uttered two names, “John and Maple!”

Tyler’s head shot up, and he sucked in another breath. “It’s really John!”

“What do you mean?” Toby narrowed his eyes. “Do you know something?”

Tyler lowered his head and replied in a low voice, “Yes. Three months ago, Sonia bailed me out after I got into a fight, so I followed her to her apartment. I saw a lot of letters there, and I just took one to take a look. The name of the sender was John. I even brought the letter home. You’ve seen it too, Toby.”

When he said this, Toby remembered that one night three months ago, he saw a letter in Tyler’s room.

The envelope was the same as the one he used to send to Maple in the past. At that time, he vaguely felt something and had picked up the letter, but before he could read it carefully, the letter was snatched back by Tyler.

It turned out that that letter was really one he had written to Maple!

At this moment, Tyler knew that he had messed up. His brother and Sonia could have recognized each other earlier, but it was delayed until now because of him, causing him to feel guilty.

“Toby, I—”

Toby’s grip around the phone tightened as he hissed coldly, “Why didn’t you let me read that letter back then!”

Tyler’s neck shrank back with guilt. “I… I took the letter back from Sonia’s place because I really wanted to show it to you. I wanted to tell you that Sonia actually had a love correspondence with someone, but afterward, I realized that she wasn’t as annoying as I initially thought, so I was afraid that after I told you, you’d be angry at her, so…”

He trailed off, but Toby understood what he meant.

He squeezed the phone, as if trying to suppress something. A few seconds later, he hung up the phone and placed his hands on his eyes, his demeanor overbearing.

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 279

It turned out that three months ago, he had the opportunity to know that Sonia was the real Maple.

Three months ago, he had just divorced Sonia. If he had known that Sonia was Maple back then, Tina wouldn’t have gotten the chance to attack her, and he might have gotten Sonia back a long time ago.

However, there were no ifs in life.

He had indeed lost his chance to recognize Sonia because of Tyler.

Nevertheless, he must also admit that he was also part of the reason. If he had stood firm and snatched the letter back when Tyler took it away, the situation wouldn’t have gotten to this point.

It could only be said that God was messing with him!

Meanwhile, Tyler was a nervous wreck after Toby hung up on him. Walking around with his phone in hand, he muttered, “This is bad. This is bad. Now, Toby must really hate me!”

He also regretted not letting Toby read the letter back then.

If Toby had read it, Tina wouldn’t have gotten into the picture, and he and Sonia would’ve already remarried.

In the end, he had messed everything up!

“This won’t do. I have to find a way to fix this.” He pondered a little before giving Sonia a call. “Sonia, help!”

Sonia was in the midst of processing documents, so she didn’t look at her phone at all before answering the call. To her surprise, it was Tyler, and the moment she picked up, he even cried for help.

“What’s the matter? Have you been arrested again?” Sonia asked faintly after clamping the phone between her ear and shoulder.

Tyler exclaimed, “Bah! Why would I get arrested? Sonia, can’t you expect better of me?”

“It’s not that I don’t expect better of you, but you seem like you’re prone to getting arrested,” Sonia answered while signing her name.

Tyler’s face flushed. “Sonia, you’re crossing a line!”

“Okay, I was just kidding. What’s the matter? I’m still working.” Sonia closed the signed document, placed it aside, then took another document to go through it.

Scratching his head, Tyler replied dully, “The thing is, Toby might hate me now!”

Immediately afterward, he told her about the letter.

After he was done, Sonia’s hand stopped moving. Only then did she get to know that something like this happened after Tyler took the letter.

Seeing as Sonia wasn’t speaking, Tyler became anxious. “Sonia, Toby really hates me now. You must help me!”

“I’m sorry, but this is your family’s affair, so I won’t interfere.” With that, Sonia continued to read the documents.

Not expecting Sonia to refuse, Tyler blinked in astonishment. “Why? It’s also about you. If it wasn’t because of me—”

“Okay, stop talking!” Sonia interrupted him with a slight frown. “I know what you wanted to say. You were going to say that because of you, Toby and I didn’t recognize each other, right?”

Tyler nodded repeatedly. “Yes. If I had let Toby read the letter, maybe both of you would have remarried long ago.”

“You’re wrong!” Sonia turned the document, her face blank. “Even if you showed the letter to Toby at that time, he and I wouldn’t have remarried.”

“Why?” Tyler asked in surprise.

Sonia’s red lips opened slightly, and her voice was cold as she replied, “There’s no actual reason. But, if you really want to know why, it’s because I don’t love him. Why should I remarry a man I don’t love?”

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

Without lifting her head, she spat out, “Come in!”

Daphne placed her hand down and walked in before stopping at her desk. “President Reed, the police station called just now and asked you to go there. They’ve caught the person who cast the scary image on your floor-to-ceiling window!”

Upon hearing this, Sonia suddenly raised her head. “They caught the culprit?”

“Yes!” Daphne nodded.

Hearing that, Sonia smiled.

Since the police station didn’t respond for so long, she thought it was because they didn’t manage to catch the culprit and had secretly closed the case.

“I see. I’ll be right there!” Sonia put down her pen, then picked up her bag and walked toward the office door.

As soon as she left her office, she saw Carl walking toward her.

“Sonia, are you going out?” Carl asked after seeing the bag on Sonia’s shoulder upon stopping opposite her.

Sonia nodded slightly. “Yes. I’m going to the police station.”

“The police station?” Carl narrowed his eyes. “Sonia, did something happen?”

“It’s not a big deal. They caught the culprit who cast an image of a skeleton on my floor-to-ceiling window in the middle of the night!” Sonia replied concisely.

Carl’s face darkened. “Someone cast a skeleton image on your floor-to-ceiling window in the middle of the night?”

“That’s right!”

“Sonia, why didn’t you tell me about this?” Carl took Sonia’s hand, his eyes full of disapproval. “What if that person has malicious intentions?”

When Sonia saw how nervous and concerned he looked, warmth filled her heart. Smiling, she patted the back of his hand. “Don’t worry. I’m fine, aren’t I? And they’ve already caught the culprit.”0

“I know you’re fine, but just because you’re fine this time doesn’t mean you’ll be fine next time!” Carl was still worried.

Sonia chuckled. “Okay, okay, I know. If anything happens next time, you’ll be the first to know, all right?”0

Only then did Carl nod in satisfaction while grunting his approval.

Sonia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Okay, I’ll go to the police station first. If you have something to discuss with me, we can talk when I come back.”

“There’s nothing. I just came to see you. Since you’re leaving, then I’ll go with you.”

For fear that she would refuse, Carl directly took her hand and walked to the elevator after saying that.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Sonia suddenly remembered something, so she turned to look at Carl, who was driving. “By the way, Carl, I told you last time that Rebecca needed your hair, right? You said you’d think about it, so have you given it some thought?”

When Carl heard this, something flickered across his eyes, but he quickly recovered his cool and replied with a gentle smile, “I think it’s better to forget it. My parents gave birth to me, so how could I be someone else’s son? As for what she said about me looking like Gordon, it’s probably fate. After all, not many people in the world look alike.”

“That’s true.” Sonia propped her head on her hand. “I’ve seen photos of your parents. You really look a lot like them. Maybe Rebecca’s mistaken. I’ll talk to her later and get her to stop having the idea of getting your hair.”

“Okay.” Carl nodded with a smile.

When Sonia turned toward the car window to look at the scenery outside, the smile on Carl’s face disappeared instantly, and his expression twisted with hatred instead.

That old man, Gordon Hayes, had abandoned him and his mother back then. Now that he was dying, he had come to look for him again after knowing that his other sons were unreliable.

Does he really think he can be at ease after I return? Oh, how naive!

Carl was even more eager for Gordon to die than his other brothers!

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the police station.

Carl parked the car. Just as Sonia opened the door, another car suddenly came and honked to signal for her to get out of the way.

Frowning, Sonia took a few steps forward, and the car followed as well before finally stopping at the empty space where she had just stood.

Soon, the car door opened, and a person Sonia was familiar with came out of it. It was none other than Titus!

He had already seen Sonia when he was in the car, so he wasn’t surprised at all.

They looked at each other, then Titus asked with a gloomy face, “What are you doing at the police station?”

“This is my personal matter. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, President Gray,” Sonia answered with a faint smile.

Carl was even more direct. After casting Titus a sweeping glance, he said, “Sonia, there’s no need to waste time on people who aren’t important. Let’s go in first.”

Sonia nodded slightly.

However, just when she was about to turn around, Titus suddenly narrowed his eyes and called out, “Stop!”

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 280

Sonia stopped. “Is there anything else, President Gray?”

Carl, too, looked back at Titus.

Titus then walked a few steps in front of the two while staring at Sonia with a pair of dark eyes. “Are you the one behind what happened to Tina?”

At first, he really did think that it was just an accident.

However, after he had managed to calm himself and analyzed everything carefully, he found that what happened was not just a coincidence after all.

If what happened was purely accidental, then the person who went after Tina would have never just left her in the city, because they would be afraid of getting caught.

However, whoever did it left Tina in the downtown area and deliberately exposed her to the public in order to destroy her reputation. Therefore, it only seemed more likely that someone was pulling the strings.

And it was most likely to be Sonia.

Only she had immense hatred for Tina!

Hearing Titus’ interrogation, Sonia was furious, but she also found it amusing. “What, now? You can’t find the real culprit, and so you’re just trying to blame everything on me instead?”

Carl, who was next to her, did not speak and only lowered his eyes.

Titus snorted coldly. “I’m not blaming it on you, but my instincts tell me that this must all be related to you!”

Sonia’s eyes flashed slightly.

He was right—this matter was indeed related to her.

Although it was Tim who made it happen, he only did it for her—so it was only right to say that she had something to do with it after all.

But so what? She could just not admit it anyway.

With this in mind, Sonia curled her lips. “Accusing me just based on your instincts, huh? No wonder Triforce Enterprise is going downhill. I heard that President Fuller has canceled all cooperation between Fuller Group and your company. Should I say congratulations to you?”

“You!” Titus glared at Sonia for a while before he sneered. “What a smart mouth.”

This lady was obviously ridiculing him by insinuating that he was managing Triforce Enterprise with mere luck and that he had no real ability!

At the same time, she was ridiculing him for posting the video and offending Toby, thinking that Toby would not cancel the cooperation just because of this, but ended up getting a hard slap in the face by the man.

This lady is indeed a tough nut to crack!

Titus looked at Sonia gloomily.

Sonia wasn’t afraid, but instead looked over to him with a smile. “Thank you for the compliment. I honestly don’t think there is anything wrong with having a smart mouth. At least I could use it on someone I hate and have my way with them. Don’t you agree, President Gray?”

The corners of his mouth twitched—how could he not see the meaning behind her words?

But he couldn’t get angry; otherwise, it would be the same as admitting that he was weak!

Thinking of this, Titus took several deep breaths before he reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a fake smile. “Whatever you say goes!”

“Pff!” Hearing that, Carl laughed aloud without giving him any face.

Titus stared at him suddenly, as if trying to burn two holes in him.

Carl noticed it, so he slowly put away the smile on his face while looking at him calmly.

Looking at Carl’s dark and cold eyes, Titus felt as if he was looking at a wolf, which made his heart tremble and his scalp go numb.

What‘s going on? How could a mere model have such terrifying eyes? The look in his eyes is exceptionally familiar… It’s as if I have seen them before—but where?

Titus frowned, unable to recall.

Sonia looked at the time. “Alright, Carl. Let’s go!”

A smile appeared on Carl’s face again, and he answered with a gentle hum.

With that, the two walked forward.

Titus finally regained his senses. He looked with disdain at their backs and yelled, “Sonia Reed, you’d better pray to God that I won’t find out about you having a hand in Tina’s downfall. If I ever find out that you are any part of this, I will ruin your life even if it’d be the end of me!”34491

After all, Tina was planning to marry into the Fuller family, but now that this happened, even if he forced Toby to marry Tina, it would not work.

This meant that his years of hard work had gone down the drain—how could he not be livid?

Sonia paused when she heard Titus’ threats, then she replied in a cold voice without looking back, “Oh, really? Then I’ll be waiting.”

Carl didn’t speak, but only turned his head around to look at Titus. His eyes were the same as before—he was staring coldly at Titus, as if he wanted to imprint Titus’ figure firmly in his brain. He only retracted his gaze upon reaching the stairs.

Outside the interrogation room, Sonia stood in front of the door. Through the glass door, she saw the suspect inside—an ordinary-looking man with a small build.0

The man was sitting on a chair, wrapped in a gray trench coat; with his neck and shoulders curled together, he looked extremely terrified and uneasy.

0

Well, he was under arrest in the police station—it would only be weird to not be afraid.

“Is he the one who cast the image on my window?” Sonia looked at him for a while, and after retracting her gaze, she asked the male police officer next to her.

However, Carl continued to stare at the man—no one could tell what he was thinking.

Sonia didn’t take that to heart, but instead, she looked at the police officer and waited for his answer.

The police officer nodded. “Yes, we have checked the surveillance of several road sections and finally found him. His name is Davin Scott; he’s a paparazzi!”

“A paparazzi?” Sonia raised her eyebrows.

No wonder when I spotted this man that night, he immediately hid the tools of the crime in his clothes and ran away.

She felt that the action was very familiar at the time—it was the same way paparazzis ran away when they were found stalking artists.

“Did he explain why he cast horror images on Sonia’s window?” Carl didn’t look at Davin anymore, but turned to ask the police officer.

Sonia patted her forehead. “Oh, yes. I almost forgot to ask.”

“Yes, he did. After he was arrested, he confessed immediately when we asked him. He said that he was bribed by a lady named Cynthia Stone, who spent 100,000 for him to do so, and the purpose was to scare Ms. Reed.”

“Cynthia?” Sonia and Carl exclaimed at the same time.

It was obvious that neither of them thought that Cynthia would be the one behind this.

On the way here, they were still guessing that maybe Tina was the one who asked this man to do it.

It turned out to be beyond their expectations—it was Cynthia who was behind all these!

“If that’s the case, did this Davin tell you why Cynthia wanted to scare me?” Sonia asked again, pursing her red lips.

The police officer shook his head. “This, he didn’t say, and he probably didn’t ask. If you want to know, you can only ask Ms. Cynthia in person.”

“I see.” Sonia rubbed her temples. “Although this is not a serious criminal case, it has already constituted a crime of intimidation. In this case, can I file charges under the crime of intimidation and get Cynthia in here?” Sonia looked at the police officer.

The police officer smiled. “Of course. I’ll tell them to bring her in—you can take a break in the meantime.”

Sonia replied, “Okay, thanks a lot.”

With that, the police officer left.

Sonia and Carl went over to the row of chairs next to them and sat down while waiting for Cynthia to come over.

As for the man in the interrogation room, Sonia was not at all interested in going in to meet him. Whatever that she wanted to ask had already been asked by the police.

Moreover, that man was only doing what he was told for money. She knew she wouldn’t be able to get any information out of interrogating him, and she would only waste her time.

In the hospital, Cynthia was going to go home after visiting Tina. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she received a call from the police station.

“Are you Ms. Cynthia Stone?”

“Yes, speaking. Who am I speaking to?” Cynthia asked with a face full of doubt, inexplicably beginning to feel uneasy.

“I am calling from the police station.”

“Police station?” Cynthia raised her voice all of a sudden, attracting the curiosity of nearby patients and medical staff—among them was Tom, who was holding a bag of medicine.

“Um… is there anything you want to see me for?” Cynthia gulped and asked in a trembling voice.

After being detained for half a month last time, she was now scared whenever she heard from the police station or any word related to the police station—especially since she had recently done something that she didn’t even know was considered an offense.
