This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 704

Chapter 704 Producing Evidence

Toby wasn’t an idiot. Sonia pointed out that Henry had no intention of remarrying, yet Henry got married again in the end—there had to be a reason why. Judging by the look on Sonia’s face, Toby could tell that something bad must have happened in between.

Indeed, Sonia lowered her head as she revealed the truth. “Yeah. My dad was tricked into this. Back then, he went out to meet a client for business, and Sandra happened to be a waitress at the hotel he was at. She was attracted to my dad, so she drugged my dad’s drink and lured my dad into her trap. The next day, Sandra sneaked off before my father woke up, and she only reappeared in front of him when she was pregnant with Jessica. My dad is an extremely responsible man—he had to take responsibility for Sandra since she was pregnant with his baby. That was why he decided to marry her,” Sonia explained.

“I see!” Toby was surprised by Sonia’s story.

Sonia bit her lip before she continued, “I recall my dad drinking a lot of alcohol the night he decided to marry Sandra. He hugged me and sobbed for a long while, and he kept apologizing to my mom and me. Jessica was right about one thing—my dad was never very nice to Jessica and her mother.”

“How could he forgive Sandra after she tricked him into such a huge thing?” Toby parted his lips to speak calmly.

To this, Sonia nodded in agreement. “You’re right. My dad hated Sandra for what she did. Although he despised her, the most he did was to keep his distance away from her. He was never violent to her, and he always made sure to take care of her. My dad might not be as loving and gentle with Jessica, but Jessica’s still his child, and it’s clear that he cares for her. That was why Dad was so strict with her. However, Jessica perceived Dad’s strictness as his lack of love for her, and she even…” Sonia clenched her fists as the muscles in her face trembled. Hatred and anger were written all over her face.

Right then, Toby gave her hand a gentle squeeze to make her calm down. “Sandra cheated on your father because he wasn’t intimate with her at all, right?”

“Yeah. My dad never treated her like a wife; he only treated her like a colleague. Sandra eventually felt lonely, so she cheated on him with another man. Although my dad didn’t love her, he couldn’t stand the idea of being cheated on. He got furious and gave Sandra a huge scolding. After that, Sandra no longer dared to cheat on my dad, but she started acting oddly around him. He never loved her, so he never bothered to fault her for her odd demeanor. I didn’t think much about it in the past, but now… Now that I know Sandra drugged my father, it seems like that incident was when Sandra really started hating him. Both she and Jessica only decided to drug Dad after that incident!”

At this point, Sonia’s gaze was filled with a mixture of fury and agony. Toby slowly pulled the woman into his arms as he comforted her. “Don’t worry. You’re going to avenge your father’s death.”

“Yeah,” Sonia muttered as she leaned against Toby’s shoulder. He caressed her smooth hair as he continued speaking. “Jessica’s acts of revealing your identity online and starting rumors about you seem to be done with the intention of getting the public to side with her so that she can force you to hand your shares over. What are you going to do about this?” Toby was planning to step in if Sonia didn’t know what to do, but he believed that she would rather deal with this matter on her own.

His assumptions were right—Sonia narrowed her eyes for a while before she replied, “Jessica thinks that I’ll collapse under the pressure if netizens bad-mouth me for being an illegitimate daughter, but I’m not going to let her get her way. She’s trying to use the power of netizens, but she didn’t think this through. Doesn’t she realize that the netizens will turn against her once I step forward to expose her lies? The netizens would realize that she was just using them, and she’d receive double the criticism that I received on the Internet. Jessica only dares to make such statements online because she thinks that I don’t have the evidence to show that I’m not an illegitimate daughter.”

“Are you saying that you have evidence?” Toby lowered his gaze to look at Sonia.

She nodded. “Of course. My parents adopted me, so there has to be a letter of adoption. Once I provide them with this document, I’ll be able to show that I wasn’t a product of an extramarital affair. That way, Jessica’s first lie would be exposed. Also, do you remember what I said about Jessica and her mother bullying me? My dad had placed CCTV cameras in the house for the sake of me; do you still remember that I told you about it?”

“Of course!” Toby smirked. “I’d never forget anything about you.”
