Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 817

Chapter 817 Too Late for Regrets

Zane was someone from the organization, which was why he would know first-hand how there was no existing law that mentioned anything about having to escort the criminal out right after court had been adjourned. That had been something that he had made up on the spot to stop Sonia’s suspicious mind from wandering.

He did notice how the bailiff, as Sonia suspected, seemed to have tried her absolute best to stop Jessica from revealing information about Sonia’s birth parents.

By right, it didn’t matter whether it was before or after the court session, but the defendant had the right to speak as long as they hadn’t been restricted by the court.

However, the bailiff had suspiciously stopped Jessica from speaking.

The only plausible speculation Zane could come up with was someone had gone to the people of the organization before the court hearing today, and had specifically mentioned to keep an eye on Jessica in case she blurted out the truth about Sonia’s birth.

As for who that ‘someone’ was, he could already somewhat make a guess.

There were only a few influential figures in Seafield who could get the organization to help with silencing Jessica, one of them being his own father and the other the political head of the Coleman Family.

However, it didn’t seem plausible for either one of them to interfere with the matters of a woman they didn’t know.

There was one more person other than them that had the ability to do this—Toby.

Zane was sure that Toby was the one who had talked the organization into it.

However, why would he do this? Zane wondered quietly. He didn’t understand why Toby wouldn’t let Sonia know who her birth parents were. Does Sonia’s parents have some kind of secret they can’t let her know?

The lingering question remained in his head all the way to the cafe, where he only snapped back to reality after Sonia waved in his face.

Seeing that he was gradually coming back to earth again, she put down her hand and asked, “What are you zoning out for?”

“It is nothing,” Zane replied with a smile before taking a sip of water from the glass in front of him. “What do you want to drink?”

He then put down his glass and passed the menu to Sonia.

She didn’t take the menu, and instead shook her head. Then, she looked at the waiter standing beside their table. “I don’t need the menu. Black tea with milk, please.”

“Alright.” The waiter took down her order and waited for Zane to place his.

Zane took the menu again and flipped through it for a while before finally ordering an Iced Americano.

After the waiter left to prepare their drinks, Sonia took out the file containing the sperm donors’ information and gave it a careful read.

“I was super serious when I gathered this list for you. These guys are all highly educated. There are a few that are from a poor family, but they have good character. I’m sure you will find at least one satisfactory one from the file,” he confidently said after seeing her scan through the papers.

Sonia’s eyes never stopped looking as she flipped the papers. “Indeed. These guys are great.”

“No, they are the greatest! These kinds of genes are treated like treasure at the sperm banks. Those without a net worth of at least ten billion aren’t even taken into consideration. I heard that a lot of women abroad want these genes to give birth to quality babies, but they were all rejected because their worth isn’t high enough. These sperm banks target rich clients who don’t want to get married, but still need a successor to inherit their legacy.”

Sonia gently closed the file and smiled after hearing his words. “Seems like we will need Jessica to play the role of a rich woman with a ten billion net worth.”

“It seems so,” he chuckled and took a sip of his cold drink. He then asked, “Oh right, which one do you fancy? I’ll book the person for you first in case some other rich lady comes along and brings that semen away.”

“Let’s go with the third one,” she concluded as she handed the file back to him. “I’m satisfied with what I have seen. He must be a smart guy, for him to be a university professor. And it says here that he is an orphan that is about to pass on soon because of his sickness. This is wonderful. At least the child won’t have any contact with its father in the future.”
