This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 1148 Put a Sack Over His Head

“I do keep in touch with them.” Charles touched his nose sheepishly. “Well, you know him too. His name is Lance

Walters, and he used to be my subordinate while in high school.”

“I know. He seemed silly, but he was righteous and a pretty strong guy too.” Sonia nodded. “That’s right. After I was

reprimanded by my dad, I had to leave the gang and entrusted the gang to Lance. He wasn’t good in his studies,

but he was street smart and was able to lead the gang well.

On top of that, he had great strength—that was why all of the members below him didn’t dare to go against him.

Although I haven’t asked about how the gang has been doing all these years, I do keep in contact with Lance, so I’m

still aware of a thing or two about them. Although they aren’t the biggest gang within Seafield, they are considered

notable locally, so it wouldn’t be an issue to ask for their help,” said Charles reassuringly.

Hearing that, Sonia responded, “In that case, it shouldn’t be an issue. I’d like to get a few people to put a sack over

his head and beat him up. That would be satisfying.”

“Sonny, I see that you have gone astray,” he said teasingly while staring at her.

“I don’t have a choice; what he did was frustrating.” She coughed embarrassedly when she noticed his gaze.

“I can tell. If not, someone as docile and kind hearted as you wouldn’t have resorted to doing this. It just proves that

Connor must have done something unforgivable.” He threw his hands up and continued, “Sonny, what did he

actually do to make you want to teach him a lesson in such a way?”

“I won’t reveal to you about what he’s done, but I can tell you that he has done bad things to Toby, which is why I

want to teach him a lesson on Toby’s behalf. All this while, Toby has been helping me out a lot, but I never got to do

much for him. Since my abilities are limited, there’s only so much I can do for him, so every little thing counts.”

Sonia chuckled.

Hearing that, Charles pursed his lips and responded sourly, “So you’re doing this just for Toby? I thought Connor

offended you again.”

“Alright, so would you be willing to help me out?” She laughed as she patted his shoulder.

“How could I reject you when you’ve already asked for my help?” He glanced at her before adding, “It’s not a big

deal, so Lance would agree to help out if I ask him to.”

“Thank you.” Sonia raised her tea cup at him in place of wine.

Noticing that, he raised his tea cup and clinked it with hers. “There’s no need to thank me.”

“I should be thanking you since there’s a risk for doing this.” Sonia took a sip of tea and placed the cup down before

raising her concern, saying, “Since Connor is the head of the Salzburg Family, he is powerful enough to find out

who’s behind it. By then, it might complicate Lance …”

“Don’t worry.” Charles knew what she wanted to say and waved his hand nonchalantly. “Lance has proven to be

highly capable, for he has managed to stay in the gang up until today. Don’t you think it’s unusual that he hasn’t

been removed by the authorities until now?”

“Unusual?” Sonia was surprised, but she soon figured it out. Her eyes lit up as she pointed upward. “Are you saying

that Lance is associated with the authorities?”

“That’s right.” He nodded and lightly patted the top of her head. “Sonny, you’re so smart to be able to figure this

out in no time.”

“Enough with the flattery.” She slapped his hand away and glared at him.

Charles laughed and responded, “Fine. I’ll stop patting your head, but you’re indeed smart to be able to figure it out

that quickly. Although Lance is involved with the gang, he is an ethical person; the gang didn’t end up being vicious

like the other gangs under his leadership. Most importantly, he would assist the authorities by reporting other gangs

to them. He has been immensely helpful and has saved them a lot of problems. Hence, Lance’s gang is technically

associated with the authorities. As long as he doesn’t go overboard with whatever he does, the authorities would

typically close a blind eye and even help him clean his mess. It wouldn’t be good news to the authorities if Lance is

gone, for no one would be able to manage the gang and it would soon deteriorate.”

“I understand.” Sonia scratched her cheek with her index finger. “Lance’s existence is like a pawn, where he is used

to suppress other dark organizations. As long as he lives and doesn’t turn vile, the other organizations will be fearful

of him. Since they won’t be arrogant enough to cause trouble, the crime rate will be greatly reduced, and the

authorities can also take a break.”

“That’s right.” Charles snapped his fingers. “That’s what I meant. Simply put, there won’t be any problems if we ask

Lance to get some men to beat Connor up. Even if the authorities know about it, they won’t care. Even if Connor

finds out in the end, he can’t take his revenge that easily. After all, Lance’s gang is backed by the authorities to

balance the underground forces, so they won’t allow Connor to be involved and break this balance.”

“If that’s the case, then I’m relieved.” Sonia let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

“When do you want to teach Connor a lesson? Where do you want to do that?” Charles raised his fists and

stretched them.

“When?” Sonia lowered her gaze and thought for a while. “Of course, the sooner the better as I don’t know when

he will leave Seafield. Well, as for the location, you can let Lance make the arrangements. He must have the most

suitable place in mind where his men can easily escape after doing the deed. Anyway, I just want to see the result.

”

“Okay, I’ll contact him in a moment. Is there anything else?”

“No.” Sonia shook her head.

“Alright then, I’ll take my leave. I’ll inform you immediately when it’s done.” Charles stood up.

“Alright.” Sonia smiled and walked him to the door.

When they got to the door, Sonia opened it and wanted to walk him to the elevator, but he pressed on her

shoulders and said, “Just stay here. I can go out by myself.”

“Alright then, drive safe.” She paused her footsteps and smiled at him.

“Got it. Okay, I’m leaving.” He yawned.

“Sure.” She nodded and watched him walk out.

After he left, she closed the office door and walked back to the desk. Meanwhile, Charles hummed a song while

walking briskly. He had his hands in the pockets of his pink suit trousers. He would dashingly twirl, hop, and dance

over to the elevator.

When he passed by the door of the secretary’s office, a sudden exclamation came from the inside. “What? You’re

saying that Daphne might be pregnant?”

Charles immediately paused his footsteps and turned to look at the secretary’s office as he narrowed his gaze.

What did I just hear? Is Daphne pregnant? That can’t be! The hands in his trouser pockets clenched into fists at this

moment, and his expression was grave.
