This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 79

How should I know what to do? If I had known about it, I wouldn’t be so nervous right now. How did Sonia know that something would happen to the Stryders? Tina bit her lower lip, her eyes dark as she glanced in the direction where Sonia left.

Meanwhile, Sonia arrived at the surgical department with Zane’s help. The doctor in the department was surprised to see her. “Didn’t you just come to change the dressing on your head last night? Why are you here again?”

Sonia didn’t expect the doctor to recognize her, so she cleared her throat awkwardly. “I came to have my leg checked this time.”

“Your leg?” The doctor bent down and looked around the corner of the table toward her feet. Upon seeing her swollen ankle, he shook his head sympathetically. “Miss, you are really having a streak of bad luck. You sprained your ankle when the injury on your head has yet to heal. You’d better go get an exorcism.”

“Pfft!” Unable to contain himself, Zane burst into laughter.

Sonia was already blushing because of what the doctor said, and when she heard Zane’s laughter, she was even more furious. Therefore, she elbowed him squarely in the waist. “Shut up!”

“Ouch!” Zane clutched his waist in pain, his face contorting with agony. “Woman, you hit hard!”

“You deserved it for laughing at me.” Sonia glared at him coldly.

With a pout, Zane muttered, “Fine, fine! I won’t laugh at you anymore.”

Sonia only let him off the hook after letting out a huff. While the doctor helped Sonia relocate the joint in her ankle and applied some medicine on it, Zane was busy finding out what happened to the Stryders.

When he learned that the current head of the Stryder Family was taken away by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, while other members of the Stryder Family were also being investigated, he turned his head slightly to check out Sonia in astonishment. It’s odd that she caught wind of what would happen to the Stryders when even I didn’t foresee that.

Having overheard Zane’s phone call, Sonia knew exactly why he was staring at her like that. A smile tugged on her lips as she spoke. “You’d like to know how I knew something would happen to the Stryders, right?”

“Yeah.” Zane nodded rapidly. “Tell me about it.”

“Nope!” Sonia rejected his request smilingly.

For a moment, Zane choked on his own words before leaning in with a cheeky smile on his face. “Don’t be like that when I helped you out during your confrontation with Tina and her gang earlier.”

“I guess you’re right.”

“So tell me. What exactly happened?”

Upon realizing that Zane was indeed curious about what happened, Sonia stopped teasing him and gave a summary of the incident. “Wasn’t Tina kidnapped? It seems like the kidnapper was one of my suitors. Therefore, Tina was convinced that I was the one who orchestrated the incident to avenge myself for this.” Sonia pointed at the bandage on her head. “Meanwhile, Melody used her status as the daughter of the Stryders to get several major banks in Seafield to reject my loan application in order to seek revenge against me in Tina’s stead.”

“Hold on. You’re saying that Melody used her status…” Zane’s eyes widened in shock.

Sonia nodded. “Yup.”

It took some time for Zane to collect himself before letting out a wry chuckle. “I see. Interfering with political affairs in other cities is generally a taboo among government officials. Not even her father dared to do that, but she did it nonetheless. Her father must be utterly vexed when he knew his daughter dragged him into such a huge hole filled with crap.” His comical description elicited from Sonia a laugh, which made Zane stare at her. “Were you the one who reported it?”
