This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 29

Zane ignored the gloomy face Toby was giving and asked again, “Also, why did you ask someone to send mangoes to Paradigm Co.?”

Toby furrowed his brows. “I didn’t.”

Toby’s face darkened even more after Zane explained how Jean scolded Sonia because of the matter about the mangoes. Then, he quickly called Four Seasons Orchard to look into it.

After looking into the matter, the person-in-charge quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, President Fuller, the delivery man wasn’t aware of your divorce and thought Miss Reed was still your wife, so he delivered the mangoes to Miss Reed’s company instead. My sincere apologies about that.”

Toby had put his phone on speaker, so Zane––who was sitting across from him––heard the content too. “Oh, poor Sonia. She was wrongly accused by your mother.”

Feeling vexed, Toby rubbed his eyebrows. He had never thought that someone would have the guts to secretly take pictures of him at Sakura Heights. Besides that, he had not expected that the mangoes would be delivered wrongly, which caused Jean to confront Sonia at Paradigm Co.

After waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes and walk out, Toby asked Zane, “Has Sonia talked with the person-in-charge from Rentoor?”

“Yeah. She’s going to visit Rentoor’s factory on Thursday.”

Zane even praised Sonia. “I think even if you didn’t give Rentoor a heads-up, they will still be willing to collaborate with Sonia given her eloquence. Although she has just entered the business circle, she’s a fast learner, and that is really something.”

“You think so?” All of a sudden, Toby felt like it wasn’t that he didn’t know Sonia well enough, but he just had not paid attention to her at all.

After having married Sonia for six years, all he could remember was the scene of Sonia being busy at home. As a responsible wife, she would prepare delicious dinners for him and iron his clothes.

Toby had never expected that besides doing house chores, Sonia was outstanding in other aspects too.

Zane shrugged. “You’ll understand when you see it for yourself next time. Your ex-wife is really something. But I don’t understand, Toby. Isn’t Paradigm Co. going to sign a contract with Dwells soon? Why did you still introduce Rentoor to them?” Zane asked. “You would owe Rentoor a favor by doing so, and Rentoor would surely bother you to return this favor in the future.”

“This overseas order is very important for Paradigm Co., which is currently very unstable,” Toby replied indifferently while eating. “Dwells is good at dealing with overseas orders, but Rentoor is even better, and they are more well-known than Dwells. If Paradigm Co. can establish a long-term collaboration with Rentoor, they won’t have to go look for orders as the business with Rentoor will be profitable enough.”

“Did I hear it right? Toby, are you helping your ex-wife to build connections?” Zane rubbed his chin.

Toby remained silent for a moment and said nonchalantly, “She did not ask for anything when we divorced. I’m doing so as compensation to her.”

“This compensation is too stingy. She has stayed with your family for six years. Having been ordered around by your mother every day for six years straight––if I were Sonia, even a billion is too little of a compensation.” Zane chuckled.

Before Zane could finish teasing Toby, the latter suddenly put down the cutlery and grabbed his blazer on the back of his chair. “I’m heading back to the office.”

Seeing Toby walk out, Zane yelled, “I’m just spitting facts. Did that bother you, Toby?”

As a response to him, Toby flung the door closed with a loud bang.

“Go ahead and fling it. I don’t have to pay for any damage caused anyway.” Zane shrugged and summoned the waiter to order more food.

…

Some staff of Paradigm Co. had secretly recorded the video of Jean causing a scene in the company, and that particular video had spread across the business circle.

Everyone was surprised that Toby, who was resolute and honorable in the business circle, actually had such a ferocious mother. Meanwhile, some thought Sonia was too much for treating her ex-mother-in-law that way after watching the second half of the video which had been deliberately edited.
