This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Rina had made a deal with Alice, in which Alice promised to be investigated by the police on her behalf,

and she repeatedly promised that she wouldn’t give Rina up. Despite that, in the end, who could

guarantee that it wouldn’t happen?

So, she had been on edge since the afternoon, and she was distracted when she went shopping with her

mother. It wasn’t until dinnertime when she saw from the news that Alice had been arrested that she

completely panicked. She was worried that the police would suddenly turn up to arrest her, the real

culprit.

Indeed—the person who harmed Sonia was actually her, not Alice.

The day before she planned to take action against Sonia, she happened to meet Alice. When she found

out that Alice desperately needed money to treat her son, she took the initiative to speak to Alice and

had struck a deal with her. She would pay for Alice’s son’s treatment, while Alice would take the blame

for her.

So, she came up with a plan. She bought a set of men’s clothes for Alice and brought them to the

department store. At 5.00PM, they met in the store’s restroom and swapped clothes. Wearing Alice’s

clothes, she went to Bayside Residence to destroy Sonia’s red mole, while Alice, posing as Rina, took a

taxi to Midbert Village to wait for her. After she destroyed Sonia’s mole, she went to Midbert Village to

swap back with Alice. This plan only worked out well because she and Alice were the same height and

weight. Otherwise, the police would surely notice that the person who attacked Sonia and the person

they arrested were different.

After changing back into her own clothes, she returned to the Gray Residence and broke the stick that

she used to attack Sonia, then wrapped it up in some old clothes before placing it into a black garbage

bag and throwing it away.

She brought it back to throw because she was afraid that the police would find it if she discarded it at

Bayside Residence. After all, there may be some fingerprints on it that she failed to clean. If they found

out, her plan would be useless.

She didn’t ask Alice to attack Sonia but did it herself instead because Alice was too timid, even more so

than Rina. When she heard that the task was to harm someone, she wasn’t willing to do it, so Rina had

no choice but to take matters into her own hands.

Although she wasn’t exactly a good person and was rather shrewd, it was still her first time hurting

someone. So, when she attacked Sonia, she was anxious and scared, but she had to go through with it

for the sake of her future. Surprisingly, she was no longer scared after it was done; she was only fearful

that she would be caught.

However, the news had said that Alice was arrested at around 4.00PM. Several hours had passed, but

the police hadn’t come looking for her yet, so it seemed like Alice didn’t expose her after all.

With this in mind, Rina’s restless and frightened heart calmed down a little.

Getting up, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, then looked out at the night sky and murmured,

“Miss Reed, please don’t hold this against me. I’m just doing this for my future. Since you and Mr.

Coleman brought me to this paradise and aroused my greed, then you have to be responsible for it. So,

the blame should be on you for being Rina…”

……

At 9.00AM the next day, Sonia asked Charles to take the morning off for her, then she prepared to go to

the police station to take a look at Alice.

Charles was unable to talk her out of it, so he could only agree and got a wheelchair before

accompanying her there.

They had just reached the parking lot when Tom pushed Toby over as well.

Seeing this, Charles placed both hands on his waist. “What, now? You want to go too?”

Toby didn’t deny it. “Am I not allowed to? I’m part of the reason she was caught, so it’s only right that I go

too.”

Charles pursed his lips. “If it wasn’t because of that, I’d do anything to stop you.”

“Okay, Charles. That’s enough. Let’s go.” Sonia couldn’t see, so she could only fumble around until she

found Charles. Then, she patted his hand and urged helplessly, “Don’t forget. We’re only free in the

morning.”

“Sorry, Darling. You know that I want to take jabs at Toby everytime I see him. I’ll help you get into the

car.” As he spoke, he took out his car keys and opened the door.

Beside them, Tom let out a light cough, then suppressed his laughter and said to Toby, “President Fuller,

let’s get into the car too.”

Toby murmured assent. Despite agreeing, he didn’t move, but kept staring at Sonia instead.

It wasn’t until Sonia got into the car with Charles’ help that he signaled for Tom to push him to their car.

With one in front of the other, the two cars arrived at the police station almost a dozen seconds apart.

Charles then pushed Sonia in.

The police station had received Toby’s phone call and knew that they were coming, so they wordlessly

brought them to see Alice.

Alice had been locked up in the interrogation room all this while, and the police planned to keep her there

for twenty-four hours, so they didn’t give her anything to eat, but only gave her water. They didn’t allow

her to sleep as well, and even kept her under strong light to oppress her so that she would break down

and confess.

It had been more than ten hours now, and Alice was obviously in a distressed state, but she still refused

to say anything, which was truly troubling the police.

After all, they rarely encountered people who were so perseverant. Usually, only those guilty of the most

heinous crimes would be so tough because they had too large of an involvement.

But Alice was just a regular citizen, and she had only made a small mistake, yet she was so resistant. It

really made them feel helpless.

“So, you’re Alice?” Sonia asked. After Charles pushed her into the interrogation room, he whispered to

her that Alice was right in front of her.
