Chapter 484
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 484 Replacement Toby noticed that something was off with Sonia after she got out of the car just now. Obviously, she was shaken, and he was worried something had happened to her.
Charles stopped swinging his arm around and sneered at Toby. âHey, Fuller. I thought you had given up on her. Youâre staying away, arenât you? So why are you asking me all these questions? Decided you wouldnât give up after all?â
Tobyâs face darkened. âThatâs none of your business. You just need to answer my questionâwhat happened to her?â
âWhy should I? Since you have given up on her, whatever she does is none of your business. You have no right to question.â Charles crossed his arms, thinking that Toby couldnât do anything if he refused to answer.
Toby squinted coldly. âDo you really think I canât find out for myself just because you refuse to talk, Lane?â
Charles was stunned. âWhat are you talking about?â
âI know she went to your place, so...â Toby whipped his phone out and made a call.
It went through a moment later, and a familiar voice said, âHello, Mr. Fuller.â
âMom?â Charles was stunned that his own mother was taking the call. He looked at Toby incredulously. âHow did you get my momâs number? And why are you guys staying in touch?â
Tom adjusted his glasses and smirked. âOh, you donât know? Your mother and the madam used to go to the same college.â
âMy mother was his motherâs college mate?â Charlesâ pitch rose. âImpossible!â
âBut thatâs the truth.â Tom shrugged. âNot only did they go to the same college, they were good friends as well. Your mother and the madam worked together to set up that beauty parlor, you know. But after the madamâs demise, President Fuller inherited her share, so heâs also your motherâs business partner as well. Thatâs why he has her number.â
The corner of Charlesâ lips twitched after hearing that explanation. âHoly cow. I never thought something like this would happen.â And I had no idea about it.
Toby was surprised after hearing Grace recounting the incident earlier. âWhat? You told her about the truth?â
When Charles heard that, he went over and grabbed the edge of the window that was rolled down halfway. âYou know Sonia isnât the Reedsâ real daughter, Fuller?â He stared at Toby.
Toby ignored him as he continued, âI see. Thank you, then.â After that, he put his phone down.
Charles gritted his teeth and repeated, âFuller, you knew Sonia isnât the Reedsâ real daughter, donât you?â
âNone of your business.â Toby looked at Tom. âDrive.â
âYes,â Tom replied and pulled Charles away from the window.
Toby took the chance to roll the window back up.
âDonât go, Fuller!â Charles banged on the window. âRoll down the window and tell me the truth. How did you know Sonia is not the Reedsâ real daughter? And when did you find out? Tell me, Fuller!â
Toby heard his questions, of course, but he ignored Charles and closed his eyes as he thought about something.
Tom got into the driverâs seat and drove away despite Charlesâ angry protests.
Charles stomped his foot furiously when he was forced to bite the dust.
Tom looked in the rear-view mirror and saw Charles flailing his arms, and he smirked. However, that smirk faded quickly, then he looked at Tobyâs reflection in the side mirror. âWho would have thought Mrs. Lane knew about this as well. And she even told Miss Reed about it.â
Toby nodded. âThat is indeed a surprise.â He thought this secret was only known to Henry and Lina. Since they were long gone, nobody else would have found out about it. However, he never expected Grace to be one of those who knew about the truth, and she actually told Sonia about it. I wonder why she told Sonia.
Toby was frowning pensively. Tom noticed that, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked, âPresident Fuller, do you think Mrs. Lane told Miss Reed that the Grays are her real parents?â
âI donât think so.â Toby shook his head. âI sounded her out just now, and she told me the Reeds got Sonia from an orphanage, so I guess she doesnât know that Henry took her from the Grays instead of the orphanage. Perhaps not even Lina knew about this.â
âHenry kept the secret well then, since his own wife didnât know about it.â Tom was surprised.
Toby pursed his lips. âIâm wondering why Henry kept Sonia and raised her like she was his own.â

ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending Tom nodded as well. âI have the same question. The Reeds and Grays were already enemies back then. Titus stole Paradigmâs tech and almost bankrupted them, and he was behind the death of one of Henryâs workers. That was why Henry took Miss Reed away and tried to kill her as an act of vengeance, but he stopped at the last possible moment and raised her himself. Thatâs odd.â
Toby tapped his finger against his knee, but he said nothing.
Tom suddenly asked, âOh, right. Now that Miss Reed knows the truth, she must feel awful. Is it really okay if we just leave her alone?â
âI know Sonia well. Sheâs upset and in pain, but she doesnât need our concern. All she needs is silence. This is her fight and hers alone. She must get through it herself, and nobody can help her. Any help we give is external and weak. Itâll eventually wear off, so she must accept the truth herself.
Thatâs the only way she can recover, but I believe that she will get through this fairly quickly.â Toby smiled calmly, but he had a confident look in his eyes.
Since Toby was so confident, Tom shrugged and said nothing.
On the other hand, Sonia threw herself onto the couch after she came back, then she stared at the ceiling for the longest time before blinking. That was the only proof she was a human instead of a doll.
The things that Grace told her hit her hard. Iâm not my parentsâ daughter. Iâm just her replacement. My identity, the love I got, and even my name do not belong to me. She was nothing but a replacement for the dead baby. All she had now belonged to the real Sonia, and she was nothing but a stand in.
Her eyes turned red, and a drop of tear rolled down her cheek and fell onto the couch, drenching a small part of it. But then, from the corner of her eye, she saw the box she tossed onto the coffee table. Since it was her motherâs keepsake, she quickly sat up and took the box to open it.
She wanted to know what was inside it, and why her mother left her this box. The box was opened shortly thereafter, but much to her surprise, there were no photos or DNA test results inside. Instead, there was a CD.
