This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 1180 Teach Him a Lesson

Toby assumed that the beating was not because Connor murdered his father, broke his mother’s heart, and made

him lose both parents since he was young.

Toby’s resentment toward Connor was so massive that a simple beating would not be able to relieve his rage at all.

Sonia knew about this matter, so she wouldn’t have made up her mind to help him out because of this. Therefore,

he presumed that what Sonia meant by helping him out was a slight grudge that was much milder than his father’s

murder and his mother’s heartbreak.

Sonia tucked her hair behind her ear and glanced at Tom before saying, “Do you remember when I told you

yesterday morning that I wanted to talk to you?”

“Yes, I do.” Toby nodded.

Sonia sighed. “But we spent the night in the old manor last night, and we—”

At this point, she suddenly realized something and blushed. She glanced at Tom, who was looking back at her

curiously, and quickly blurted, “Anyway, we didn’t manage to have that talk last night.”

“So, did you plan to tell me about you beating up Connor?” Toby asked.

“Yes.” Sonia nodded. “Tom went to see you at Bayside Residence the night before when you came home, didn’t he?

You guys talked for a while. I didn’t know what you were talking about, but you looked quite upset when he left.

Obviously, something had happened, but when I asked you about it, you refused to tell me and even said that you

were fine. But, of course, I knew you weren’t okay, and you weren’t telling me because you didn’t want me to be

worried, so you decided to keep me in the dark. But how could you not know that I would still be concerned over

this even if you didn’t tell me anything? I didn’t sleep well that night because of this.”

“I’m so sorry.” Toby’s eyelashes fluttered as he gently embraced her. “I didn’t know about that.”

Indeed, he didn’t want her to be worried because of that incident, so he decided not to tell her, but he never

thought that she would be so concerned that it disrupted her sleep. So it was his fault for not thinking things

through.

As for Tom, who was in the driver’s seat, he lowered his head sheepishly and turned around quietly after hearing

what Sonia said. So he understood Sonia’s decision.

Oh gosh, it’s my unlucky day. Miss Reed will definitely tell Mr. Fuller that I was the one who told her about this.

At first, he thought that they had talked things out last night, but he didn’t know that they didn’t discuss the matter

at all.

Why didn’t they talk?! If Miss Reed talked to Mr. Fuller last night, and she told him that I was the one who told her

about it, Mr. Fuller couldn’t do anything to me because I wasn’t there! But it seems that I have run out of luck. I

didn’t expect them to talk about this when I’m right here! Under such circumstances, Miss Reed will undoubtedly

reveal the truth, and I can’t escape if Mr. Fuller wants to beat the cr*p out of me!

Oh dear… Tom prayed for Toby to be merciful.

Sonia had no idea that Tom was on pins and needles now. She made herself comfortable in Toby’s arms, nudged his

shoulder gently with her chin, and smiled as she looked out the window. “No, you didn’t do anything wrong. You

didn’t want to tell me because you didn’t want me to worry. I can understand your concern, and it wasn’t your fault.

So, the next day, when you returned home to take the USB drive, I asked Tom what he said to you last night.”

At this point, Toby could hazard a guess about what had happened. So, he narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze at

the driver’s seat.

Although Tom had already turned back and sat properly in his seat, Toby’s glare sent a chill down Tom’s spine, and

he shivered in fright.

Toby’s glare was so fearsome that it could scare him even if he didn’t meet his eyes directly.

“Did he tell you everything?” Although it was a question, it sounded more like a statement.

Sonia nodded. “Yes, he told me, but it was only because he was worried about you after I described your mood

after the meeting. He knew that he couldn’t persuade you, nor would you listen to his advice, so he suggested that I

comfort you. At the very least, you would listen to me.”

Tom, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, was touched.

Miss Reed, you’re the best! He knew that Sonia intended to tell Toby that he didn’t mean to spill the beans, and she

hoped that Toby would not blame him for this.

Toby pursed his thin lips before saying, “Don’t do it again.”

Tom knew that Toby was referring to him, so he nodded repeatedly. “Got it, Mr. Fuller. I won’t do it again.”

Tom heaved a sigh of relief.

He was over the moon because this comment indicated that Toby forgave him and would not punish him, and it was

all thanks to Sonia.

On the other hand, Sonia was upset, and her expression sank. “What do you mean by that? What if you encounter

a similar situation next time? Will you keep me in the dark again? Do you want me to be worried again?”

She wanted Toby and Tom to know they didn’t consider her feelings.

Tom gave Toby a helpless glance before turning his head again as if he had nothing to do with it.

Actually, it was indeed none of his business. They were a couple, and Toby was the one who misspoken, so he

should own up to his mistakes and handle the problem.

As his subordinate, Tom decided to be one with the background and provide mental support from afar.

Tom’s action infuriated Toby, and his face darkened, but what could he do? Could he shake Tom down?

Of course not. His priority now was to coax the angry Sonia and cheer her up.

Toby massaged his temples and looked at Sonia apologetically. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through. I promise I won’t

keep you in the dark again, okay? This will never happen again, and I’ll tell you everything, okay?”

Sonia side-eyed him and huffed. “That’s more like it.”

When he noticed the slight curl of her lips, he heaved a sigh of relief. Phew, she’s happy now.

Sonia was amused and slightly annoyed when she heard his sigh.

D*mn it, does he think that I’m so obnoxious and illogical? Why does he look like it takes a lot of effort to cheer me

up?!

After she rolled her eyes at him, she cleared her throat and continued where she left off, “When I found out from

Tom that you were upset because Connor had threatened you with your mother’s relic, I was pissed by the fact that

such a disgusting person like Connor actually existed in this world. They dated once, for goodness’ sake. Even if he

didn’t love her anymore, he shouldn’t drag her into this for the sake of their past relationship, not to mention that

your mother is dead. But he’s so awful. He threatened you with a deceased person’s relic just to save his

illegitimate daughter. This was just too much! So, I decided to teach that p*nk a lesson.”

“So, you asked someone to wrap him up in a sack and beat him?” Toby looked at her in amusement.

Sonia giggled sheepishly. “Yes. You know that my power is limited. I can’t do anything to do much, so I could only

use such a childish and direct method.”
