This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 247

“No.” He stared down, hiding the laugh in his eyes. Nicely done.

Tina stared at him in disbelief. “What? Why?”

Carl and Sonia looked at him as well. Yeah, he didn’t even help her when we insulted her. I thought he loved her and would do anything for her. Why did he let us do what we wanted? Odd.

Toby could guess what Sonia was thinking from the change in her expression. He wanted to tell her he didn’t love Tina, so whatever happened to her wasn’t his business. However, he had a hunch that something bad would happen if he said that, and the feeling was too strong for him to ignore. In the end. Toby let Tina go and put his hand in his pocket so he could clench it without anyone seeing. “Because it’s a bit hard to handle,” he said coolly.

“Why?” Tina was curious.

Sonia arched her eyebrow. She too wanted to know his answer.

Toby pursed his lips and lied, “Sonia didn’t call you a dog. You did it yourself. If I defend you, that means you’ll be really nothing but a dog.” He deliberately emphasized the word ‘dog.’

Sonia thought she was hearing things. Is he emphasizing the last word? What? Why? Does he think she’s a b*tch too? Sonia was amused by that thought, and she shook her head. Impossible. I must be hearing things. He loves her more than anything. There’s no way he thinks she’s a b*tch.

Tina didn’t notice the emphasis, so she bit her lip and nodded. “I see.” She thought something was off, but she couldn’t put a finger on it, so she put it behind her.

Now that she wouldn’t throw a tantrum, Toby stopped frowning. I get the gist now. As long as she stays calm, I won’t have to follow her every whim and desire, nor will I get punished for disobeying her. Toby rubbed his fingers. “Since we can’t solve the mystery, we’ll let the cops handle it. As for you guys…” He looked at the manager.

The manager stood up straight. “We’ll cooperate with the cops.”

Toby nodded, then he looked at Sonia, his gaze mellow. “What do you think?”

Sonia didn’t answer, for she was surprised.

Carl nudged her on the shoulder. “Sonia?”

“Huh? Oh, sorry. I was thinking about something else. What is it?” She snapped out of it and smiled apologetically. However, she was shaken to her core, for she could see the old Toby for an instant when he was looking at her earlier.

Carl didn’t notice her shock, and he answered gently, “President Fuller said to let the cops handle this since we can’t solve the mystery ourselves.”

“That works. Sure.” Sonia nodded.

“That’s great, then. So why do you look so down?” Julia looked at her in confusion.

Tina gritted her teeth. “It’s his driver. Got the exhaust smoke all over me.”

Julia gave her a glass of honey water. “That’s nothing to trouble yourself over. Just tell Toby to fire him. Don’t waste your time getting angry over that. Here, have some water.”

Tina took it and had a sip without even saying thank you. “Where’s Dad?” she asked.

Julia pointed upstairs. “Working in his study.”

Tina nodded. “I see.”

Then a servant came downstairs. “Madam, the room’s ready.”

“Are we expecting guests today, Mom?” Tina put her glass down and looked at Julia.

Julia touched her necklace, smiling gently. “No. It’s for your sister.”

Tina was shaken, and she asked stiffly, “Rina’s coming back?” Dammit. They couldn’t have found her, right? Why else would they set a room up for her?

“No.” Julia sighed. “No news yet, but I want to set it up so she can live in it right after she comes back.”

“I see…” Tina forced a smile, “celebrating” the occasion.
