This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Minutes ticked by, and Toby finally said in a cold voice, “You’re right. She has none of these qualities,

and she has no right to assume Maple’s identity.”

Upon hearing this, Tom felt something click in his mind. He pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and

asked, “Have you discovered something that made you doubt Miss Gray’s identity as Maple, President

Fuller?”

It‘s no wonder then that President Fuller‘s been cold and distant to Miss Gray for the past two days. That

makes sense, seeing how he was only

kind and loving to her because he believed she was Maple. If the opposite were true, then he would

naturally grow indifferent toward her. After all, Miss Reed is the one he’s truly in love with.

Toby narrowed his eyes pensively without answering Tom’s question and asked instead, “You were the

one who collected Maple’s letters on my behalf when I was too tied up with work before, so you would

know her postal address, right?”

Tom nodded hastily. “I remember her address. Do you want me to drop by the place and find out if Maple

truly isn’t Miss Gray?”

“Yes” Toby replied.

“I’ll get right on it, sir,” Tom said dutifully. “I’ll head over to Marina City right away and-wait!”

QORON

He broke off, and his eyes widened as the sudden realization that something was off dawned upon him.

Toby frowned at this. “What is it?”

“There’s something odd going on here. President Fuller, Maple lives all the way in Marina City, but the

Gray Residence is in Eastbourne. Both these cities are practically sixty kilometers away, and the Gray

Family has been in Eastbourne for the last twenty years; they never once moved. It’s as clear as day

now that Tina really isn’t Maple!”

Toby stiffened when he heard Tom’s deduction, and his eyes widened by a fraction as he pondered on

this new revelation. That’s right. If Tina really was Maple, then the postal address would have been

Eastbourne and not Marina City

While Toby was deep in thought, Tom spoke up again from across the desk, “I remember you mentioned

that Maple used to have a pet dog, President Fuller.”

Toby’s chin jerked slightly. “Bucky.”

“That’s the one. However, the Gray Family has never had any pet dogs. You also mentioned that Maple

has a stepmother and a sister, but Mrs. Gray has always been the first wife. All these aside, I caught a

glimpse of Tina’s handwriting last month when she got bored in your office and scribbled a couple of

things. While she didn’t often write after she was discharged from the hospital, I noticed that her

penmanship is completely different to Maple’s,” Tom informed solemnly.

Tom had never read any of the letters Maple wrote to Toby, but she did pen the address on the

envelopes, which was enough to make him come to the conclusion that she had understated and refined

handwriting. It was distinct and easy on the eyes, unlike Tina’s, which was as plain as it was common.

Granted, a person who had been comatose for

six years would not necessarily have the best handwriting, having not touched pen and paper for so long.

However, muscle memory would kick in as the body recovered, and the person’s handwriting would

eventually start to look the way it had before. As such, it made no sense that Tina’s handwriting could

have changed so drastically even after she had been hospitalized for six years.

Tom felt goosebumps raised along his skin at the thought of this. “It gets stranger and stranger the more I

think about it, President Fuller. How could we not have realized that there was something off when these

doubts have been present all along? Besides, there were cracks in Tina’s behavior and stories that

should have made us suspicious, so why did it take us this long to look back and discover this

despicable charade?”

00000

Toby lowered his gaze and fell silent. When Tom was speaking earlier, it was as though a veil that had

been obscuring Toby’s sight was finally lifted. It was like the lights had shifted at that moment, and he

could finally see the world with sharp clarity

Indeed, how could I have missed all the cracks and inconsistencies in Tina‘s stories and behavior? More to the point, how did Tom manage to overlook all these, too? All these questions flooded Toby’s mind,

and he grew unsettled at how wrong everything was.

Even as he thought this, he knew well the reason why he never saw through Tina’s pretenses-it was all

because of that strange and mysterious force. That being said, he didn’t think Tom would be influenced

by it as well.

“Why are you looking at me like that, President Fuller?” Tom asked uneasily.

Toby pursed his lips and said hoarsely, “No reason. Anyway, drop by Marina City tomorrow and find the

real Maple.” She‘s the person I‘m truly in love with!

“Yes, sir!” Tom nodded. Then, seemingly remembering something, he paused and added, “So, about

Tina…”

A dangerous gleam flashed in Toby’s eyes as he replied ominously, “T’ll take care of it. I’ll let her know

that Maple isn’t just some mask she can put on at her own whim and fancy!”

There was an insidious undertone to his voice that made Tom shudder. He knew at that moment that

Tina was done for.

But she‘s definitely getting what‘s coming for her. She should have thought better than to pretend to be Maple and deceive President Fuller for the past six years.

Dark glee rose within Tom as he adjusted his glasses and turned to leave the study.

When the door closed, Toby rose from his seat and crossed over to where the French windows to the

side of the room, whereupon he stared out at the night scene with his brows drawn together as all the

doubts plagued him. What is that mysterious force? How did it manipulate me into loving Tina? And what other secrets is Tina hiding?

All these questions seemed to crack the strange rose-colored glass that had shielded Toby from reality.

He had believed that he was fine, but what he had not expected was that he would be unknowingly

pulled into the drowsy depths of the mysterious force.

As soon as he thought of this, a sharp headache attacked him. For a moment, he thought he might have

seen the light at the end of the tunnel, but that was before the dizzying halos came into his vision.

Submitting to the inexplicable pain that overcame him, he couldn’t help but lower his head in hopes of

finding quick relief.
