Chapter 413
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 413 Double Standards âI canât believe this...â Sonia trailed off in a quivering voice as she gripped her phone even tighter while she tried to process how things had turned out.
She had been so eager to prove Taylor was a fraud and went to such great lengths only for reality to slap her hard on the face; in spite of all that she had done, Taylor turned out to be Titusâ biological daughter!
âCould something have gone wrong during the test?â Sonia chewed on her lower lip as she asked, although she knew well that there was a slim-to-
none chance that a mistake had been made.
The argument might sustain if they had only gone to one facility for the DNA test, but to have several facilities produce the same results, there was hardly any room for the possibility of a mistake.
At the other end of the phone was Zane, who shook his head. âNo, two out of these facilities are under the government. Titus couldnât even interfere with the tests, much less Taylor.â Having said this, he drew in a breath and added, âLook, Sonia, maybe Taylor really is Rina. Maybe, by some twisted fate or whatever, we have ended up reuniting Titus with his long-lost daughter.â
A speechless Sonia looked down in disappointment as her mind scrambled to understand this shocking event.
After receiving no response from her, he continued to say, âNow that Titus has the results, heâs already probably on his way over to confront you.
Donât worry, though, Iâll keep him in check.â
He realized, of course, that Titus would have easily picked a fight with him too had he not been part of the Coleman Family. That alone was the reason why Titus had hesitated and decided to back off strategically, which left him with no choice but to vent all his anger on her.
Sonia pursed her lips in thought, looking grim. âItâs okay, Iâll figure something out.â Then, she hung up the phone.
Toby took her phone. When he saw that she had ended the call, a curious look glimmered in his eyes as he asked, âWhat did you tell Zane?â
She rubbed her cheek in exhaustion. âHe told me that the results were out and that Taylor is, surprisingly, not Hal and Gretaâs daughter, but Titus and Juliaâs. As it turns out, Zane and I have somehow or another managed to locate and bring home the real Rina Gray.â
After that, she let out a hollow, self-deprecating laughâone that made Tobyâs heart twist with stabbing guilt.
However, he quickly clenched his fist and buried this sense of guilt before replying gravely, âWell, what do you know...â
âYeah.â Sonia tipped her head back and sighed wearily. âI thought something as dramatic as this would never happen in the real world.â
He parted his lips as though to say something, but at that moment, a furious and demanding knock came from the lounge door. Whoever it was seemed to be impatient and irritable like a grizzly bear.
âOpen the door, Sonia! Open the damn door right now!â Titusâ voice boomed from the other side of the door after a series of frantic knocks and he was clearly in a fit of rage.
It was just like what Zane had saidâTitus was here to confront her. She dug her nails into her palms and said through gritted teeth, âHelp me onto the wheelchair, President Fuller. Iâll open the door.â
âYou donât have to. Iâll get the door,â Toby offered, pressing her shoulder so that she would remain seated on the sofa. After that, he rose and walked toward the door before swinging it open.
Meanwhile, Titus had thought he would be greeted by Sonia right away. He was ready to slap the test results on her face when he saw Toby looking at him impassively instead. His rage died down before his brows furrowed as he asked begrudgingly, âI didnât think youâd be getting the door, President Fuller.â What the hell is this guy still doing here?
Toby released the doorknob, and as he towered over Titus, he looked down at the man imperiously. Then, his gaze flickered over to the stack of documents in the manâs hand. Toby narrowed his eyes as he asked, âWhat do you want with Sonia?â
âWhat do I want with her?â Titus sneered. âWhat else? I want to give her what she deserves after she accused Rina of pretending to be my daughter!
Now that I have the results in my hand, Iâm going to slap the truth on her face! I hope you wonât interfere, President Fuller, seeing as this concerns the feud my family has with Sonia.â
âIs that a threat?â Toby clarified with a raised brow.
Titus averted his piercing gaze. âNo, of course not. I wouldnât dream of threatening you, President Fuller! I have made it clear that this is my personal feud with Sonia. Since that doesnât concern you, maybe you shouldââ
âAnd what if I insist on interfering? What will you do then?â Toby challenged impassively, cutting the man off mid-sentence.
Titusâ eyes nearly bulged out of its sockets. âPresident Fuller, that would be most improper of you! Why would you put your foot in somebody elseâs business for no good reason? Thatâs almost tyrannical if I do say so myself!â
âYou know what, it doesnât matter what you say because as far as Iâm concerned, my foot is already in.â Toby eyed Titus like he was merely a pest.
âDonât think I am unaware of what you plan on doing to Sonia. Let me warn you, Titus. Sonia happens to be someone I love, so I wonât just watch while you make her suffer. Youâll just have to let me interfere with this entire thing and Iâll make one thing clearâthe Fuller Family will be standing behind both Sonia and Paradigm Co., so if you have any intention of striking her or the company with a deadly blow, you better think twice about it or Iâll personally deliver you to hell!â
He couldnât let Titus and Sonia continue with this ridiculous feud; otherwise, the tension between them would only worsen and the hatred as well as vengeance would no doubt multiply. At some point, all hope for a fresh start would be as good as gone.
âYou!â Titus seethed; he was so astonished by Tobyâs warning that he grimaced menacingly while shuddering with rage. âAre you really going through with this, Toby?â
âComedy is not my forte,â Toby drawled sadistically.
A lump was forming in Titusâ throat and he thought his heart had stopped as he hissed, âSonia accused my daughter of being a fraud and tried to tear my family apart! That itself is committing a crime worthy of imprisonment, so Iâm just doing my duties as a civilian if I were to send her to jail! How dare you stop me! More importantly, why didnât you interfere when she tried to have Rina thrown into jail for assaulting her?â
Toby regarded him with the same look as one might regard an imbecile. âWhy would I interfere? Itâs not as if Taylor is the one Iâm in love with.â
A sputtering sound escaped Titus and he looked like he could collapse there and then. He could find no rebuttal against Toby before taking a long, deep breath to calm down. Then, he spat through gritted teeth as he glowered at Toby, âSo, thatâs it? Youâre standing by Sonia?â
âIâm not so much standing by her as I am defending her out of love.â Toby pursed his lips before elaborating, âIâm just pouring out all the love that I mistakenly had for Tina bit by bit on the person who actually deserves it, so you should think twice before messing with me, Titus. Itâs not as if you can anyway. Got it?â
He had as good as told Titus that Sonia was fully under his protection and if anyone so much as tried to hurt her, he would not hesitate to draw blood.
Titus, on the other hand, was frigid. Blood rushed to his already stormy face at a time when he was at a loss for words.
He was in no position to challenge Toby, not after that warning and insidious threat. He was helpless, and so was the rest of the Gray Family against the Fullers; it wasnât as if they had ever stood a chance even back in their heyday.
As such, Titus was forced to surrender. He glared past Tobyâs shoulder at Sonia, who sat stoically in her wheelchair, and mocked, âWell played, Sonia. Looks like you have a thing for taming men. I canât believe you actually made someone like President Fuller your lap dog, so much so that heâs willing to go against me and my entire family.â
Sonia understood that Titus was mocking her for hiding behind a powerful man who could stand up for her and defend her honor, but she maintained her indifference even as her anger deepened. In response to his words, she smirked coldly and countered, âLooks like youâre a little jealous of me, Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again ï¤Chapter 412 There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia)
ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending President Gray. In that case, maybe you could try to subjugate President Fuller. If you succeed by some stroke of luck, he might even become your most loyal knight and defend you against the world!â
âSonia!â Toby frowned and snapped at her in unhappiness as he didnât fancy the way she phrased her words.
Steam was coming out of Titusâ ears and his face turned the color of beetroot as he pointed an accusing finger at Sonia. âY-You littleââ
âWhat did I do? Did I say something wrong?â She tipped her head to one side, looking her most innocent as she added in a singsong voice, âI just thought you seemed rather envious of me when you said what you did, President Gray. One might even say youâre jealous. Thereâs nothing wrong if I offer you some kind advice, donât you think?â
A loud thud sounded throughout the room. The man had collapsed and his body twitched like he was suffering from a seizure as he lay on the ground.
The sound of his fall had slightly shocked Sonia and she quickly asked, âWhatâs wrong with him, President Fuller?â
