This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“Psychological evaluation?” Her eyes narrowed as the police nodded on the other end of the line. “That’s

right. Miss Gray currently has serious mental issues and our country still doesn’t have a clear standard

operation procedure against people with mental disorders, so…”

“So, what you’re saying is that the mentally ill are not bound by the law?” Sonia’s grip on her phone

tightened before her pitch went higher.

The police sighed before he replied, “Yes, that’s why we have no choice but to drop the case. As for your

bag, we are still conducting our investigations, but there’s currently no lead on it, so there’s a high

chance that you might not be able to get it back. Please be mentally prepared, Miss Reed.”

The call ended at that point.

While she bit her lips, Sonia reluctantly lowered her phone.

When Charles looked at her, he asked again in a worried tone, “What’s wrong, darling?”

Then, she finally told him about the content of the call.

Upon hearing what happened, he slammed his fist on the table in anger. “What the f*ck? That’s so

shameless of them! How dare they try to get Tina off the hook by taking advantage of the law’s gray

area!”

“I know, right? I can’t believe they still have tricks up their sleeves.” Sonia massaged her temple in

exhaustion. So, that’s why Toby didn’t force me to not lodge a report. It looks like he always stood a

chance at protecting Tina whether I lodge a report or not. I miscalculated this time.

“No. I need to get an explanation from Toby!” Charles exclaimed before trying to leave.

However, Sonia stopped him. “Don’t. It’s useless even if you went. We are not his match.”

When he heard her, he paused. Then, he slouched; it was obvious he looked beaten.

A while later, he clenched his fists and turned around. “Sonia, do you think that it’s true that Tina has

dissociative identity disorder?”

Something flashed in her eyes. “I don’t know. Tim was the one who diagnosed Tina to have dissociative

identity disorder and you know that he wouldn’t lie. Still, I can’t bring myself to believe it, so I don’t want

to make any conclusions for now.”

Charles inhaled deeply. “If Tina really does have dissociative identity disorder, I’m sure that she would

still try to attack you considering her malicious intent toward you. Do you think that wouldn’t be illegal?”

Upon hearing that, Sonia smirked coldly. “That’s right because she’s suffering from a mental illness.”

“Hmph! Since she’s mentally ill, she should be in an asylum, not out here,” he sneered.

However, she rolled her eyes at him. “Do you really think Toby and the gang would let Tina stay in places

like that?”

Upon hearing that, Charles stopped saying anything while Sonia fell into silence as well.

A few moments later, he looked up at her with fear evident in his voice. “Sonia, are we really dropping

this? I mean, I still feel pissed off thinking about it as you almost…”

Although he had trailed off, they both knew what he was trying to say.

Sonia narrowed her eyes. “Of course not. How could I let Tina off hook when she tried to kill me? I’ll

remember this and return the favor along with the interest. Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who

would keep all the pain and sorrow that I’ve experienced to myself.”

Charles looked satisfied when he heard her answer. “That’s good. I’ll always have your back no matter

what you want to do.”

Sonia felt her heart skip a beat when she noticed how gentle his gaze was as he stared at her.

This was her first time seeing him being so serious.

“Alright.” She smiled before nodding.

At this moment, someone knocked at the office door before Sonia turned around. “Come on in.”

When Daphne entered the office, she shot a glance at Charles before reporting to Sonia, “President

Reed, a few people in charge from the Fuller Group are here and they’re trying to instigate a

collaboration with us.”

“The Fuller Group?” Sonia frowned.

“Yes.” Daphne nodded.

“From which subsidiary of theirs?” she asked before Daphne answered all the questions.

Sonia’s lips then curled upward. “Those companies, huh? I understand now; it’s probably Toby trying to

compensate me. Looks like he knows that protecting Tina is wrong.”

However, Charles’ face flushed red in anger. “Who needs his compensation? I want you to make them

leave,” he instructed Daphne.

Yet, Sonia stopped him before Daphne could say anything. “It’s fine.”

“Sonia, are you seriously considering this?” Charles stared in disbelief.

Sonia twirled the stainless steel pen in her hand as she answered, “Why not? These companies align

with the industry that Paradigm Co. is involved in, so it’s obviously for the best if we could collaborate.”

“However…” He felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, she looked at him with a serious gaze. “Charles, I know what you want to say. However,

you need to consider our situation as well. Paradigm Co. currently won’t be able to revive many of our

previous properties. That’s mainly because we do not have the money to do so and we don’t have

anyone to work with. I mean, why shouldn’t we make use of it when we could get both at the same

time?”

Upon hearing that, Charles’ lips moved slightly, but he stopped trying to argue.

Then, she added, “I don’t know why Toby decided to do this, but he’s lending help to us. Paradigm Co.

needs these collaborations to be able to develop further. Still, don’t worry because I won’t let go of my

grudges just because of these partnerships.”
