Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 997

Chapter 997

Sonia rubbed her forehead as she closed her eyes. "You have thought about it, and so have I. I'm very concerned about this, so I'm not planning to mortgage this building."

"That's good." Charles nodded, but his concerns remained. "What are you going to mortgage with if it's not Paradigm Co.'s building?"

As Sonia opened her eyes, she uttered, "The Reed Residence."

He was slightly taken aback. "Are you planning to give—"

"Yeah." She nodded. "That's right."

"But it's the house your mother left behind. Are you... sure about it?" Charles looked at her.

Sonia tucked her hair behind her ears. "To be honest, I didn't want to do it at first, but after giving it some thought, I don't think there's anything to be sad about parting with. It's the house my mother left behind. I spent my childhood there, and my memories are also tarnished by rats."

Charles noticed that she had narrowed her eyes in disdain and quickly knew what she meant. As he sighed, his heart ached.

"Jessica and Sandra."

"Yeah." She gripped the pen tighter. "You are correct. It's them. That house is supposed to be a cozy home for me, my mother, and my father. Ultimately, the space was filled with their vile atmosphere, which had ruined it. Because of this, I moved out to the Bayside Residence. I no longer feel anything that makes me think of my mother. I detest the Reed Residence now that it is solely filled with memories of their worst kind."

"You have a valid point." He sipped the water in front of him. "If I were you, I would have felt the same way. Because the house is an eyesore, I would have put it up for sale a long time ago. I'm impressed that you've kept the house for years."

Sonia's lips twitched. "It's because that's the house my mother bought before she passed away. And this is where she lived and where we previously stayed. Nothing else. Now that I think about it, I think my opinion was wrong because Mom might not want to keep it. After all, it is already tainted."

"There's no doubt about it." He nodded and looked at her. "You're her daughter, and she loved you so much that she gave you the house before she left. I'm sure she wasn't expecting Jessica and Sandra to show up after that. In that same house, they bullied you and poisoned your father! So, what makes her want to keep it? Sonia, I agree with your decision. It's not the same place it used to be. That way, you can also forget about the unpleasant memories."

"Yeah," she responded gently.

"Oh, have you had the house appraised?" Charles was keen to know.

Sonia sipped her coffee before responding, "Yes, I've contacted an appraiser a couple of days ago. Although it is an old building, its location, like this one, is very strategic. When she purchased this house, my mother used Grandpa's connections to invite the most famous master to view the property. There should not be a significant price difference compared to new homes. It should be worth at least 1 billion." She raised a finger.

He let out a chuckle. "Great. That will be more than necessary to solve the problem. Have you set up an appointment with the bank?"

"Yeah, I have. I will submit a loan application this afternoon." She placed her cup down.
