This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 316

Julia’s eyes lit up with joy as she assumed that Toby was considering ways to save Tina. She quickly stole a glance at Sonia, who was standing behind Toby, before flashing her a look of victory. Look, even if you refuse to free Tina, someone else is going to save her, Julia said with her eyes. Sonia felt like she was about to throw up.

When Toby noticed what Julia was doing, his gaze turned harder than before. However, Julia didn’t realize anything as she turned to address him in an emotional voice. “It’s really easy. You just need to talk to the police officers, Toby. I’m sure they’ll listen to you because of your status and position in society. If that doesn’t work, you can get the Colemans to help out. They’re an extremely powerful family, so the police will definitely free Tina if they tell the police to do so.”

“Hah!” Toby let out a sarcastic chuckle. “You think too highly of me. Sure, I might be able to save Tina, but why would I do that?”

All the excitement in Julia’s expression faded off once she heard his words. “W-What do you mean?”

Even Sonia eyed the man in front of her in a confused manner. What? Isn’t he going to save Tina? Rina’s eyes lit up as she held her hands together excitedly. I thought this man was going to save Tina, but I hadn’t expected the tables to turn so suddenly! Did he just change his mind?!

“It means that I’m not going to save her!” Toby said in a scornful tone as he smirked at Julia. Julia widened her eyes in response. “Are you not going to save Tina? But you just said—”

“Since when did I say anything?” Toby interrupted her impatiently. “I just asked you how I was supposed to save her. I never said anything about actually saving her.”

Julia was too stunned to say anything at that point. He’s right. He was just asking a question, but he didn’t say that he wanted to save Tina. I was the one who had jumped to a conclusion on my own.

Sonia’s spirits were lifted when she saw the look of devastation on Julia’s face. Any anger she held toward Toby had dissipated after this incident. Earlier, Sonia had decided that she would use all her might to go against Toby if he had agreed to save Tina. She figured that she would be able to bring him down even if she failed to destroy the Gray Family. I’m glad that his brain is actually functioning, and I’m pleased that he didn’t agree to save Tina.

Toby could sense the sharp gaze of the woman behind him gradually softening into a calm one. He knew that she was no longer angry at that point, and he turned around to look at her. “I won’t disappoint you in the future,” he uttered in a gentle voice.

Sonia raised an eyebrow. “I’m not related to you in any way, President Fuller. You don’t need to promise me anything,” she uttered calmly.

He gave her a sincere gaze. “Regardless of whether we are related to one another or not, I just wanted to let you know that I’ll always be on your side from now on. This is my promise.”

Before Sonia could respond to Toby, Julia stepped forward to speak up first. She couldn’t hold it in any longer. “Toby, is she the one who’s telling you to do this? Did she tell you not to save Tina?!” she asked as she pointed at Sonia.

Sonia let out a frustrated scoff. What has this got to do with me? I’ve never told Toby to do such a thing. Toby knitted his brows together as he shot Julia a hateful glare. “This has got nothing to do with Sonia. It’s all my own intentions. Do you think I’d save someone who tried—multiple times—to harm my lover?”

When Sonia heard the word ‘lover’, she subconsciously turned to look away from Toby. Toby noticed her actions from the corner of his eyes, and his gaze darkened a little as he let out a sigh in his heart. She still doesn’t trust my feelings for her.

Julia parted and shut her lips a few times before she responded in a rather weak voice. “E-Even if Tina did any of that, it was only because she was too in love with you!”

“She pretended to be the woman I love because she loves me, huh? She hurt my lover because she loves me! What sort of logic is that?!” Toby’s expression hardened as he barked at the woman before him.

Julia’s entire being trembled when she saw the fury in his eyes. “Tina might be wrong, but… Sonia is fine, isn’t she? Furthermore, you were with Tina for months—don’t you have any feelings toward her?”
