Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1367

Chapter 1267

If she had bumped into someone else just now, they might not let her go due to how bad her attitude was.

What about this woman who managed to defeat Tina and Melody?

Cynthia's heart was beating so fast that it threatened to jump out of her throat as she panicked. "Miss Reed—"

She was about to beg for mercy again when Sonia raised her hand to interrupt her. "Enough. All you did was verbally abuse me back then. Besides the flashlight incident, you didn't cause me any harm, and I already got my revenge for that incident, so you're spared this time. Anyway, you have nothing against me now. Beating a drowning dog isn't something I would do unless they are a hopeless cause. I won't bother to waste time on someone like you."

Although she was unhappy that Sonia made her sound worthless, Cynthia felt relieved that she did not intend to pursue her on this matter.

"Miss Reed, are you letting me go?" Cynthia clenched her fists and asked excitedly.

Sonia raised her chin and questioned, "Did you not hear what I just said? I am not someone who would beat a drowning dog unless they are a hopeless cause. I won't even spare a glance at someone like you. Are you self-proclaiming that you're a hopeless cause?"

Cynthia shook her head like a rattle before uttering, "You are well aware of what I did not do to you when I was friends with Tina, except for that one incident. I would usually just verbally abuse you, but after Tina left, I never appeared in front of you again or got in your way. I'm not a self-proclaimed hopeless… cause…"

She forced the last two words out of her lips even though she felt ashamed.

With an arched brow, Sonia questioned, "Why are you still standing here, then? Do you want me to—"

"No!" Cynthia shook her head fervently before forcing an awkward grin. "I will leave right now." With that, she turned around immediately to leave.

However, the moment she turned around, something popped into her head, and she turned back to Sonia.

Seeing that, Sonia narrowed her pretty eyes. "What? Want me to punish you?"

"No, no, no." Cynthia waved her hands in denial.

"Then what?" Sonia frowned.

Cynthia's gaze darted around the room before she bit her lower lip and asked in a subdued voice, "Erm… Do you still hate Tina?"

Sonia squinted her eyes skeptically and questioned, "Huh? Why do you ask that?"

Cynthia squeezed her fists and rephrased her question, "I mean, even though she is dead now, you should not have forgotten what she did to you, right? So, do you still hate her? Or do you still want to take revenge on her?"

Sonia couldn't comprehend why she was asking questions like this. Her eyes flickered as she replied softly, "Why would I still hate on a dead person? Do you think I could resurrect her to get my revenge even if I wanted to?"

Hearing Sonia's answer, Cynthia finally released the breath she had been holding. After taking a deep breath as if to muster up her courage, she looked Sonia in the eye and said, "If you still hate her and want to take revenge on her, I will tell you a secret."

Then, she stepped forward.

Sonia's heart sank as she made a guess in her mind, but on the surface, she pretended like she was calm. "What secret?"

Cynthia stopped in front of her, covered half of her face, and whispered, "I suspect that Tina is not dead. That corpse is fake."

Sonia's pupils dilated. I was right, she mused.

When Cynthia suddenly asked her those questions and said that she would tell her a secret, her first thought was that Cynthia would tell her Tina wasn't dead.

Her suspicion was proven to be correct the next second.

However, Sonia wasn't surprised by the secret at all since she had already known from the get-go that Tina was not dead. She was more surprised that others knew about it. How many people knew about it? And how did Cynthia find out?

Judging from Cynthia's firm appearance, she seemed to be quite certain that Tina was alive, which was strange.

Sonia intended to throw some bait at her, so she didn't let Cynthia know she was aware that Tina was still alive.

Otherwise, she might not elaborate on the information she had.

Thinking of this, Sonia was shocked. Although she wasn't excellent at acting, she could at least fool Cynthia.

After all, Cynthia was not someone who could tell whether Sonia was acting or not.

She thought Sonia truly found the information shocking, so seeing Sonia's surprised face made her feel proud. As a result, she wore a smug expression on her face.

Hah. How could President Fuller's fiancée not be aware of that? Cynthia mused triumphantly in her mind.

Perhaps she had been too transparent with her emotions that they were painted across her face. Sonia couldn't help rolling her eyes at her, but as expected, Cynthia did not notice her subtle expression. Smiling at Sonia, she asked, "What do you think? This secret is shocking, isn't it?"

Sonia nodded. "It is shocking, but it must be fake. Tina's suicide by jumping off a building is known all over the country, and that night, I went to see her body in person. How could it not be her?"

"It's not her." Cynthia waved her hands in denial. "When you went to see her body, her face was covered, wasn't it?"

"Yeah." Sonia nodded in agreement.

"That's it." Cynthia clapped her hands together and explained, "Although I did not witness the scene with my eyes, I heard about the details of when Tina jumped from the building. They are saying that when she jumped from the building, she was facing backward. In that case, she should've landed on her back after falling. How could she possibly fall face-down and ruin her face?"

Sonia stroked her chin and agreed to her words, "That sounds plausible."

"There's more to it," Cynthia added. "They quickly closed the case of Tina's suicide. Even if it had been a genuine suicide, they would have looked into it further. Doesn't it all seem too hasty? It's so obvious that there is a problem with this that they don't want people to know. That's why they closed the case as soon as possible and sealed the file to cut off the clues to prevent anyone from investigating it."

Sonia looked at her in surprise, as if to say, I didn't expect you to be so smart.

Of course, that went unnoticed by Cynthia. Instead, she continued, "I heard that her suicide has something to do with Melody. Melody went to meet Tina, and the latter committed suicide, implying that Melody was also involved in Tina's suicide case. And Melody was also the one who found a female corpse to replace Tina's body."

Sonia's eyes sparkled. "How did you know about this?"

Cynthia was right about everything. Tina was alive, but she had feigned her death to escape. It was also true that Melody assisted in her plan.

After they discovered that Tina had escaped instead of lying dead, they immediately traced Melody down.

Melody explained everything truthfully, but she didn't know where Tina went. It then became Sonia's biggest regret.

"Melody told me," answered Cynthia.

Question marks popped into Sonia's mind. "Melody told you that?"

"Yeah."

"Isn't she in jail?" Sonia frowned. "How did she tell you?"

Although the authorities decided not to make Melody's offense public because of the Stryder Family's past contributions to the country, everyone knew about her imprisonment. She was still in jail right now!
