Chapter 521 Mrs Gray’s Curse
Sonia was sitting on the bench, unmoving. She gripped her bottle tightly and stared at the ground, immersed in her thoughts.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming over followed by a woman’s wail. “Tina! My precious baby girl!”
Mrs. Gray? Sonia quickly looked up and turned around. The Grays were coming over, but she wasn’t surprised. Tina might have cut off all ties with them, but they had been family for a long time, so naturally, they’d come here after finding out that she killed herself.
“Tina! My girl!” Julia was in the lead, but she was stumbling and beside herself.
Titus was holding her. “Slow down. You’ll fall.”
“How can I? Titus, she jumped off a building! She died!” Julia held his sleeve, roaring. Her eyes were red with sadness and fury.
Titus sighed. “I know. I’m upset about this as well, but you can’t get too worked up over this. If you fall sick, I’ll have to worry about you as well.”
Julia stopped talking, but she still sobbed sadly. Rina was walking slowly behind them, but she didn’t look sad. Instead, she looked impatient. Tina’s suicide had caught her by surprise as well, but that was it. They weren’t real siblings, so even though Tina had died, she didn’t feel the least bit sad about it. In fact, she felt happy, for it was a good thing for her. At least Dad and Mom won’t keep talking about her now.
A smile curled her lips, but when she looked around, she noticed Sonia from the corner of her eye, and her smile froze. “Miss Reed!”
The Gray couple was stunned to hear that Sonia was there as well, so they looked at where Rina was pointing. The sight of Sonia agitated Julia. She broke free of Titus’ grasp and went toward Sonia, her face contorted with rage.
When Sonia saw the look on her face, she knew Julia must be up to something, so she got on guard immediately. Before Julia managed to slap her, she reacted by grabbing her wrist and gripping it tightly.
Julia’s face contorted with pain. “Let me go!”
“Don’t be so confident, girl. You might end up regretting it.” Titus looked at Sonia darkly.
Sonia looked at him haughtily. “I might, but you won’t be there to see it.”
Titus looked shocked. “What do you mean? Do you—”
“Do I what?” Sonia crossed her arms.
Titus’ jowls trembled, then he stared at the ground to hide the darkness in his eyes. “Nothing. Let’s go.”
He couldn’t ask if Sonia knew about his failing kidney. If she knew nothing about it, he’d be giving her precious information he couldn’t afford to lose. Maybe she was talking about something else. He took Julia and was about to leave, since he might let something slip if he stayed for too long. Also, they needed to see Tina’s body and find out why she killed herself. I can’t waste my time here. I’ll leave this to another time.
Titus looked at her coldly and was about to leave, but just when he turned around, a stab of pain shot up from his waist. He grunted in pain and let Julia go, then he started falling.
For some reason, when Titus fell, Sonia reflexively extended her hand and held him. Sonia was shocked about it, and the Grays were too, especially Titus. He looked at Sonia’s hand, and his face trembled. “You…”
Titus’ voice made her snap out of it. She realized what she had just done, so she quickly let him go and took a step back. “Sorry, but I don’t have time to play along with your act, Mr. Gray,” she said coldly.
“Are you insulting me?” Titus huffed and puffed. He was not a man of virtue, but he would never stoop so low as to fake his illness.
