Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 572

Upon hearing Nancy’s words, Sonia felt as if the whole world was spinning underneath her while there was buzzing in her head. Then, she facepalmed and staggered on her feet as she nearly collapsed onto the ground.

The moment Toby saw Sonia’s reaction, he quickly stood up and pulled her into his arms so that she could rest on his chest. “Watch out.”

“I’m fine.” Sonia shook her head while answering with a hoarse voice. After all, she didn’t think there was more to her father’s suicide because she had always thought it was due to the devastation from Paradigm Co.’s impending bankruptcy and the betrayal of Jessica and her mother running away with his money. Therefore, when Nancy told Sonia that her father killed himself because Jessica and Sandra had drugged him and coaxed him to take his own life, Sonia struggled to accept the harsh truth. No! How is this possible?'.

“Nancy, are you telling me the truth? You aren’t lying, are you?” Sonia freed herself from Toby’s arms and walked closer to Nancy, desperately seizing Nancy’s hands while waiting for an answer. Deep down in her heart, she wished Nancy was merely pulling her leg or telling a lie.

In the meantime, Nancy saw through what was on Sonia’s mind and sympathetically nodded. “I’m sorry, Sonia, but what I just said is the truth. I’m not lying at all. When I first heard this, I was just as shocked as you are right now. At that moment, I couldn’t help but wonder why anyone as evil as Jessica and her mother would ever exist in this world, as if patricide or killing one’s own husband was nothing wrong. However, I wasn’t aware of the relationship between you and Jessica until I learned yesterday that she is your half-sister. It was then that I realized she could be the one who drugged your dad and made him end his life, so I quickly came over to tell you the truth.”

When Sonia heard Nancy’s explanation, she knew that she could no longer fool herself by believing that what she heard was all a lie. Thus, all energy seemed to have been zapped from her and she collapsed onto the couch with dazed eyes on her pale face, feeling as if her body had just turned cold.

“Sonia.” Toby walked closer to her and called out to her in concern.

Sonia responded by looking at him for a few moments before she responded, “Jessica... How could she do that?! Where did she have the guts to drug our father and make him kill himself?! How could she have committed patricide even if Dad had never treated her well?! That was her father!”

Deep down in her heart, she reckoned that their father was never once mean to Jessica. Instead, it was Jessica’s rebelliousness that resulted in Henry often giving her a piece of his mind, but even so, Sonia believed that he still loved Jessica. That was the reason why she couldn’t accept what her half-sister had done.

Then, there was Sandra. Sonia condemned her in her heart and wondered what Henry had done to deserve a horrible death at his own wife and daughter’s hands. Did Dad ever treat both of them unfairly ? Nope. Did he ever deny them their pocket money ? No! He allowed them to spend as much as they wanted. Even when Paradigm Co. was in trouble, he never deactivated their bank cards, so why would they want to kill him? The more Sonia dwelled on those thoughts, the more she shivered with fear. In the end, she couldn’t suppress her emotions and ended up bursting into tears.

Meanwhile, Toby gently rubbed the back of her head and cuddled her in his arms while he spoke in a deep voice, “Cry all you want because after this, you’re going to avenge your father’s death, so you need to be strong and tough.”

She cried even louder when she heard that, her body stiffening from head to toe. Then, he gently patted her back while gazing at Nancy. “You said Jessica was talking on the phone with the person who supplied her the drug, right? Did you hear who it was?”

As soon as Sonia heard Toby’s question, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. After that, she freed herself from his arms and looked at Nancy too. Nonetheless, Nancy apologetically shook her head and replied, “Nope, Jessica didn’t address the person on the other side of the phone call, but she only mentioned some name that had the word ‘Gray’.”

“Titus Gray,” Sonia replied as she bit her lips.

“What makes you so sure?” Toby looked at Sonia in bewilderment.

A confident Sonia nodded. “The reason why Paradigm Co. landed into trouble six years ago was because Titus had set my father up. Back then, there was a piece of land that my father wanted to acquire, but Titus somehow found out about it. So, he connected my dad to his own friend, who then informed Titus that there was a decent piece of land in Easton City.”
