This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 98

“Hey, Tina.” Cynthia’s voice broke. “What should I do now? Sonia’s going to file a lawsuit against me soon!”

Tina didn’t see that coming either, so she was getting a headache over it. “Alright, Cynthia. You don’t have to worry.”

 

“How can I not?” Cynthia stomped her foot in agitation. “As soon as she presses charges against me, I will have a blemish in my record. How will people in the upper class society perceive me if that is the case?”

Nobody would accept someone who had a criminal record as their wife. If she couldn’t marry into a rich family to help Stone Incorporated, her father would hate her and bring his illegitimate daughter back home.

The more Cynthia thought about it, the more she feared. She gripped onto her phone tightly. “Tina, you have to save me. I only did all of this for you.”

Tina bit her lip in dismay. What does she mean she did it for me? I only implied to her that she should help me deal with Sonia, but I didn’t mean it for her to do it like that. Despite what Tina thought, she couldn’t say that out loud. Instead, she forced a smile. “I know. I’ll get you out of this mess.”

 

“Great! That’s great to hear!” Cynthia wept in joy before asking, “By the way, Tina, didn’t you say you would beg for President Fuller’s mercy? As long as he’s willing to help, Sonia won’t be able to do anything.”

“I know, but he turned me down last time. This time…”

 

“Tina, please talk to him about it again. He will agree to it since he loves you so much.” Cynthia couldn’t bear being rejected, so she cut Tina off.

A dismal look fleeted across Tina’s gaze before she replied hesitantly, “But…”

“Tina, you said you would save me.” Cynthia cut her short again.

Even though Tina was getting impatient, she sounded as if she were about to go all out. “Alright, I’ll try again.”

“Thank you, Tina.” Cynthia heaved a sigh of relief.

After hanging up, Tina left her room to drive to Fuller Group.

“President Fuller, Miss Gray is here.” Tom knocked on the door before entering the office.

Toby was going through some documents then. Upon hearing that, he lifted his head. “Let her in.”

“Okay,” Tom answered.

Soon, Tina came in. When she took in the faint smell of cigarettes, she frowned. “Toby, were you smoking?”

Toby nodded. “I had one.”

“Why would you smoke? I hate the smell of cigarettes.” Tina fanned herself using her hand.

All the while, Toby was examining her. “You hate it? Weren’t you okay with it? I had asked you in the letter if you minded that I smoked, to which you replied that you didn’t mind. You even suggested that I smoke mint scented ones, and this is it.”

Tina panicked for a moment, but she didn’t let it show. She excused herself with a smile. “That was a long time ago. I was comatose for six years, so I could no longer stand the smell of cigarettes.”

Upon hearing that, Toby ceased his doubts, thinking that it made sense.

“I know, but I can’t bear to see her like that.” Tina heaved a sigh.

Toby combed his fingers through her hair. “Don’t worry. Although Cynthia broke the law, her crimes aren’t that severe, so she will only be detained for a few days at most.”

Tina nodded. “I guess that’s it then. Cynthia acted rashly, so this will be a lesson for her.” Since Toby had made up his mind to sit things out, Tina had no way to stop the prosecution.

So it seems that Cynthia will have to go behind bars. I guess there’s no getting around this. I’ll have to placate her once she is released. Upon reaching that conclusion, Tina pointed at a corner of the office. “Toby, do you mind if I use your washroom?”

“Sure.” Toby nodded.

Tina headed to the washroom. Once she got inside, she took out her phone to give Cynthia a call.

On the other hand, Cynthia had been waiting for good news from Tina, so she picked up immediately as soon as Tina called. “How did it go, Tina? Did President Fuller agree to help?”

Tina shook her head in regret. “Cynthia, he didn’t agree to it. I’m sorry. I already tried my best.”

“How could this be…” Dumbstruck, Cynthia’s body swayed as she almost fainted. President Fuller isn’t going to help me. What should I do?

“Cynthia, you—”

Before Tina could finish her sentence, someone was heard knocking on Cynthia’s door. After putting down her phone, Cynthia questioned, “Who is it?”

“Delivery,” the person outside answered.

Cynthia didn’t doubt it, so she went over and opened the door, only to realize that the person outside wasn’t a delivery man, but two policemen in uniforms. Shoot! Knowing that the police were there to arrest her, Cynthia’s first reaction was to close the door, fear evident in her eyes.

Promptly, the policemen held the door open as one of them showed her his ID. “Good morning, Miss Cynthia Stone. Miss Sonia Reed reported you for defaming her, so we would like you to come with us.”
