This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

In fact, Fuller Corporation was built on the wealth of Toby’s grandmother’s in-laws. It thrived under Toby’s

grandfather’s political influence and while the old man had since passed away, the Fuller Family still

maintained their connections with both the army and the government. Consequently, the family had

amassed a fortune so large that they could go bankrupt a hundred times over and still remain standing.

“Well, desperate times call for desperate measures,” Julia said as she narrowed her eyes.

Titus snapped out of his thoughts as he and Rina turned to look at her. “What do you have in mind?”

Julia flashed a smug look as she drawled with feminine mystique, “A woman’s strategy is something men

could never come up with. Now, when a man loves a woman, it’s almost always superficial; if we can find

someone prettier than Sonia to seduce Toby and make him fall in love, then Sonia would be left without

her precious shield, right?”

In retrospect, she hadn’t been so infuriated when Sonia repeatedly went after Tina. Now that she wants

to take Rina away from me, I simply won’t let her get away with this! I have missed out on twenty-six

years with my own daughter; Rina is my baby and I will not lose her again!

When Titus heard Julia’s plan, his eyes lit up before he lowered his voice as he approved, “I must say,

that sounds like a pretty good idea. We should give it a shot.”

“And so we shall, right after we go back and work on the details.”

The three of them walked into the elevator and their conversation continued behind closed doors.

Meanwhile, in the lounge, Toby gave Sonia a triumphant look after the ruckus earlier had arrived to an

end. “See? I was right; Titus coughed up the money.”

“And? Do you want me to praise you?” she asked him witheringly.

He chuckled. “No, but I won’t refuse a compliment or two.”

“Yeah, you’re getting nothing,” she said as she turned with her nose in the air. However, that didn’t last

long as she turned to face him once more, and she looked a little pensive as she muttered, “Thank you

for what you did earlier.”

“Hmm?” He didn’t seem to understand what she meant.

Sonia elaborated with a resigned sigh, “Thank you for speaking up for me.”

“It’s nothing. I can’t just let Titus pick a fight with you.” Toby sat down on the sofa and gazed at her with a

sentimental look in his eyes.

She couldn’t see him, but she felt his piercing gaze on her all the same and it made her skin prickle. With

a frown, she pointed out, “You didn’t have to speak up for me, though. I know what Titus was going to do.

He probably wanted to mock my pride with those DNA test results before sending me to jail for defaming

him. I could have handled it on my own without your interference and I’d still leave him helpless.”

When she was done speaking, he pressed his lips into a grim line. Is this her way of telling me that I put

my foot in where it didn’t belong? “And what would you have done?” he asked, the challenge clear in his

tone.

A stubborn Sonia shook her head. “I can’t tell you that; it’s a secret.” With that, she took her phone and

passed it to him. “Could you help me to dial Wanda’s number, President Fuller? It’s getting late and I

should head home.”

She had come here to expose Taylor as a fraud, but seeing as the girl unexpectedly turned out to be the

real Rina, there was no point for Sonia to linger around anymore.

Toby took her phone, but he did not make the call and instead crouched down in front of her. He looked

up at her and his eyes were dark with emotions as he asked, “I take it that you’ve heard my earlier

conversation with Titus?”

Sonia hummed in response and nodded, but she was a little flustered as she asked, “Why are you

asking me this, President Fuller?”

He set her phone aside and reached out to clasp her hand in his.

She jumped at the sudden gesture and demanded, “What are you doing?”

Although she tried to withdraw her hand, his grip was tight, but it surprisingly didn’t hurt her. That being

said, his palm was extremely warm and it felt like he might burn a hole through the back of her hand if he

held on any longer. Now that she was growing uncomfortable, she snapped with furrowed brows, “Let go

of me, Toby!”

Toby did not oblige. “Sonia, I meant every word that I said earlier. I’m truly in love with you, so could you

please give me one chance to make things right with you and let me be in your life once again?”

In the six years that they had been married, she was always the one who chased after him. Now, it was

only appropriate, and somewhat ironic, that he should do the same.

A chance? Sonia let out a small laugh and responded, “Sorry, President Fuller, but I don’t think I can give

you that chance. First of all, we’re divorced and reconciliation has never been on the table in the first

place. Secondly, why would I give you a chance to pursue me romantically when I don’t even love you?

Would you do the same if you were in my shoes?”

Toby’s lips twitched, but he found himself at a loss for words.

She took advantage of his speechlessness and ended the conversation curtly. “That’s enough now,

President Fuller. Give me back my phone; I’ll call Wanda myself.”

He handed her the phone. “I’ve already texted Wanda and she said she’ll be back in a jiffy.”

Having said that, he nodded at Wanda, who had been standing silently in the corner all this while.

With light footsteps, she traipsed over to the doorway and gently opened the door, acting as though she

had only just returned. She bowed at Sonia and apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss Reed. There was an

emergency I had to attend to, so I left for a bit. Please understand.”

“It’s fine, just bring me home.” Sonia waved her hand dismissively and she didn’t seem to mind the fact

that her caretaker had left without notice earlier.

Wanda repeatedly thanked her before she shot Toby a knowing look before she wheeled Sonia out of the

lounge.

Toby walked behind them, but he had only just stepped out of the lounge when he stopped abruptly.
