This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“This is sudden.” Sonia frowned. “Isn‘t it your dream to become an internationally–known top male

model? Did something happen, Carl?” How else could one explain his sudden wish to give up on his

dreams? Sonia wondered.

Carl‘s eyes glistened as he spoke. “It‘s nothing. I just feel drained, and I just feel like taking a break.

That‘s all.”

“Is that so?” Sonia narrowed her eyes. She clearly didn‘t believe him.

Carl waved her off with a smile. “Alright, now. Let‘s not talk about this. The doors are open so we should

go in.” Sonia turned to look at the doors leading into the court and realized that Carl was right. “Okay.

Let‘s go,” she said with a nod. The three of them, along with some other individuals who got seats in the

court, made their way in.

Titus and Julia arrived just a while later. Sonia saw the burning hatred in both their eyes as she looked in

their direction. She wasn‘t afraid of them at all–she even spread her lips into a smirk. The look on her

face only made Titus and Julia more furious than ever.

There was a live stream for the entire trial, so people on the Internet were all able to witness the process.

Soon enough, Tina was brought up onto the stand. She had been kept in the detention center for the

past few days, and she hadn‘t got much food or sleep. On top of that, she was suffocated by the stress

she had been facing due to this incident. All of these

factors contributed to her significant loss in weight. If it weren‘t for Tina‘s paler skin tone, Sonia might

have thought that the person she was looking at was Taylor. Right now, Tina looks exactly like how Taylor

did when she first came out of the village. She looks malnourished and like she would topple if she was

struck by the wind.

Upon seeing the drastic change in her daughter‘s appearance, Julia held her hand over her mouth and

began to sob. Although Titus had felt a huge sense of resentment toward Tina throughout this period of

time, he no longer had the energy to hate her then. He merely shook his head helplessly.

Smack! Once the judge pounded the gavel, the trial officially began. The entire trial was rather pointless

since everyone had seen proof of Tina attempting to harm Sonia. The trial was, therefore, more of a

procedure than anything else. Charles recalled something as he watched Tina arguing with Sonia‘s

lawyer. “Baby, I have bad news that I think I should tell you,” he turned and whispered to Sonia.

“What is it?” Sonia shifted her gaze toward him. Carl had an idea of what Charles was about to say. “I

think he wants to tell you what the lawyer told us before you arrived,” Carl uttered with an icy look in his

eyes.

“What did the lawyer say?” Sonia‘s expression turned serious when she saw the stern looks on both their

faces. Charles pinched the bridge of his nose before he spoke. “Well, before you arrived, I spoke to your

lawyer for a while. He told us that Tina’s sentence might be less severe than what we expected she

might not even be sent to jail. The chances are that the court might just give her a probation order.”

“All she might get is a probation order?” Sonia tightened her fists–she was clearly displeased by this

news. What Sonia intended was for Tina to be sentenced to jail, not to receive some probation order.

Charles understood Sonia‘s wishes, which was why he told her that he had bad news.

“That‘s right. A probation order. It‘s a fact that Tina attempted to harm you, but the lawyer said that you

didn‘t encounter any actual harm throughout the process. Her crime of intentionally harming someone is

therefore turned into a crime of attempted harm, which reduces the severity of her punishment,” Charles

explained.

“What nonsense is that?!” Sonia‘s face was flushed with rage.

Charles sighed. “I know, right? Furthermore, the lawyer said that the outcome would be the same even if

she had tried to frame. you. The main reason for this is her health. She would receive a sentence out of

prison even if she was sentenced, and this naturally translates into a probation order. That‘s why the

lawyer said that Tina would end up receiving a probation order.”

Sonia bit her lip without commenting any further. A probation order? This is so ironic! All along, my intentions have been to send Tina to jail. I thought that I finally succeeded this time around, yet they are telling me that all she is probably going to get is a probation order! What could possibly be more disappointing than this? Sonia‘s heart felt heavy, and her aura was no longer as strong as before. Carl

and Charles both understood the reason for this.

They were both dissatisfied by the outcome, but they knew that it was how their nation functioned. Even

if a mother were

to kill her own daughter, she would only be sentenced to jail for up to five years. The outcome of court

trials was, oftentimes, less than ideal.

Eventually, the trial came to an end. The result of the trial was as the lawyer had predicted–five years of

probation. Within the five years, Tina wasn‘t allowed to leave Seafield, and she would have to wear

fetters that would keep her under police surveillance. If Tina attempted to commit any crime, she would

be sent to jail.

However, if Tina played by the rules, she would be safe. She might even get the chance to reduce her

sentence if she was a good citizen. In other words, Tina remained free despite being constantly watched

by the police. She would go on with her life as usual–she simply wouldn‘t be able to do anything illegal.

Sonia couldn‘t accept this outcome at all. She wanted to appeal the court‘s decision, but her lawyer

stopped her from doing so.
