This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 714 The Public’s Suspicions

Sonia’s words made sense to the crowd. It was a fact that Jessica had been making claims without

providing any evidence to the public. No one knew whether what she said was the truth or not. All she

had given the public were words, after all.

As long as she hadn’t produced any evidence, it meant that no one could determine the validity of her

statements. If the truth couldn’t be proven, why would Jessica continue to emphasize that Sonia had

done something wrong?

Previously, the crowd hadn’t realized what was going on. However, after they heard what Sonia said,

they realized that her words had some truth to it. It did seem like Jessica was doing all the talking in

order to brainwash them and make them believe that Sonia had done something bad. Then, Jessica

got the public to point their fingers at Sonia, so that everyone would label Sonia as the illegitimate

daughter and evil sister who bullied Jessica.

Once the public realized this, they also realized that they no longer knew who was the evil person in

that situation. Even if Sonia had actually done bad things, the public could tell that Jessica was no

innocent saint either.

At that thought, many of the reporters and audiences turned to Jessica with looks of astonishment on

their faces. One reporter broke the silence to ask Jessica a question. “Miss Jessica, since you claimed

that Miss Reed has bullied you and your mother since you were a child, you probably have some

evidence, right?”

“Yeah. You also mentioned that Miss Reed isn’t your father’s biological daughter, but you didn’t provide

us any solid proof for that. If you can’t give us any evidence of this, and if you can’t prove that your

father’s ex-wife had Sonia with another man, then we have enough reason to question your motives!

Would we be wrong to suspect that you’re harming Miss Reed intentionally because you’re displeased

by the fact that she has more shares than you?’ one reporter cried.

“That’s right, Miss Jessica. Please explain yourself. If you can’t provide us with sturdy evidence, then

whatever you said online can be considered as defamation. You’d have to face the consequences of

the law.”

When Jessica saw all the reporters turning to interrogate her, she felt her chest heaving up and down

as her eyes turned red. She had been sneakily enjoying herself while the reporters interrogated Toby

and Sonia just moments ago, and she hadn’t expected the tables to turn so quickly.

Unfortunately, Jessica didn’t have the evidence that the public wanted. “Why aren’t you answering us,

Miss Jessica? Are you hiding something?” The reporters began to question Jessica when they saw her

staying silent. Even the online audiences discussed it in the livestream chat.

‘Did you see that? Miss Jessica sure looks frantic when she’s questioned by the reporters,’ one

commented.

‘I don’t think she’s frantic. I think that’s a look of guilt on her face. My brother always looks like that

when he does something wrong and doesn’t want to admit it. I know that expression too well,’ another

one replied.

‘Are you saying that there’s something wrong with Miss Jessica?’ someone asked.

‘Of course! I’m 100 percent sure that what Jessica said was a lie. If it were true, why wouldn’t she give

us evidence? She could have given her evidence to the police after reporting about this online

yesterday. Yet, she didn’t take any action or show any evidence—all she did was whine on the Internet.

A normal person wouldn’t do that, would they?”

‘You’re right. I would’ve made a police report if I were Jessica,’ another one replied.

Although Jessica couldn’t see the comments that were being written about her in the live stream, she

could tell from the demeanors of the reporters that the situation online probably wasn’t looking too good

for her. With her fists clenched and her eyes darting around anxiously, Jessica attempted to reply to the

reporters. “It’s true that I don’t have evidence of Sonia bullying me. After all, I mentioned that this

happened when I was young. How am I supposed to find evidence for my childhood incidents?”

“You also said that Miss Reed isn’t your father’s biological daughter. Do you have proof of that, Miss

Jessica?” The reporters held their microphones up to her. Jessica took a glance at Sonia who was on

the stage. In an instant, the fear and panic in Jessica’s face were replaced with a smirk.

“Of course I have evidence for that,” she replied. She expected Sonia to panic the moment she uttered

those words. I’m about to expose Sonia’s true identity in front of the whole world, so she should be

afraid of me now. Everyone’s going to know that she’s not a child of the Reed Family.

But to Jessica’s surprise, Sonia didn’t show a hint of fear in her eyes, and she even began to giggle

and chat with the man beside her. No one heard what Sonia said to Toby, but Toby turned to give her a

fond gaze. Jessica gritted her teeth in anger when she saw the man gazing at Sonia affectionately. You

guys can laugh all you want now! Jessica thought as she looked away. We’ll see who’s the one

laughing in a while!

At that thought, Jessica spread her lips into an arrogant smile once more as she held onto the

microphone and stared directly at the reporters’ cameras. “It’s easy to prove if Sonia is my father’s

daughter or not. We can run a DNA test.

I’m my father’s biological daughter, so if Sonia does a DNA test with me, it’ll tell whether we are

biological sisters. If the results show that we aren’t, then it’ll prove that Sonia isn’t my father’s daughter.

It’ll prove that she’s a product of her mom and some other man.”

“That does sound like a good plan.” The reporters nodded agreeably. Jessica took another glance at

Sonia as she lifted her chin to provoke Sonia. “Would you dare to do that with me, Sonia?”

Everyone turned their attention to Sonia as they anticipated her answer. Sonia responded with a calm

smile. “Of course I would dare to do that. However, there is no need for it.”

“What do you mean?” Jessica knitted her brows together. “Are you trying to hide the truth from

everyone and lie your way out of this situation?”

“When did I say anything about hiding anything from others?” Sonia raised an eyebrow while glaring at

Jessica coldly.

Jessica let out a resentful scoff. “If you’re not trying to hide, then why did you say that there’s no need

for a DNA test?”

“There’s a simple answer to that—it’s useless to run a DNA test because it’s true that we’re not sisters.

The test will not indicate that we’re related to one another, so it’s pointless to run the test.” Sonia flicked

her wrist dismissively. Meanwhile, Toby reached his hand out toward Daphne, who was standing

beside them. Daphne knew what he wanted, so she quickly lowered the files that she had been

hugging in her arms.

Once Toby took the file, he slowly flipped through it. The contents were related to the procedures the

Reeds went through to adopt Sonia. Meanwhile, Jessica and the reporters were equally shocked when

they heard Sonia. “Miss Reed, it sounds like you’ve known this all along. How long has it been since

you knew that you’re not Jessica’s biological sister?”

Sonia held onto one of the microphones. “I’ve known this all along, but I only obtained this information

about two months ago.”

“Miss Reed, doesn’t that mean that your mother actually did it with another guy…” The reporter trailed

off. She knew how offensive this statement could be to some individuals. Of course, the reporter

wouldn’t have had to consider so many things if Sonia had been alone. However, since the man beside

Sonia was a person who held power over everyone, all of the reporters had to be especially cautious

when they spoke.

At that very moment, Toby frowned in response to the reporter’s question. The reporter who had posed

the question could feel her heart racing. She even regretted asking the question. But the world was

filled with idiots, and the reporter was just one of them.

When Jessica saw the reporter chickening out, she decided that she would step forward to complete

the reporter’s questions. “Sonia, the reporter is asking if you knew that your mother had given birth to

you after sleeping around with another man.”

“Jessica, you—“ The reporter hadn’t expected Jessica to complete her question. She even highlighted

that I, the reporter, was the one who asked this question. Isn’t she just trying to sabotage me? The

female reporter stared at the couple on stage with fear in her eyes. Her chest tightened when she saw

the icy look on both Toby and Sonia’s faces.
