Chapter 256 Moment of Truth,Boss, Your Wife's Asking for A Divorce, Again!

The sound of Toby's footsteps sounded as if he was stepping on Tina's contracting heart, filling itwith fear and panicking her. At the same time, she subconsciously stepped back, her lips tremblingin silence. Seeing her reaction, Toby couldn't help but feel disgusted with it. “What's wrong? The catgot your tongue? Let me answer the question for you. That's because you never lived in Marina City;you never kept a pet dog, and neither did you ever have a stepmother and sister. So, tell me now.Do you still insist that you are Maple?”

At that moment, a loud thump was heard when Tina collapsed onto the ground with a blank gazeon her face. In the meantime, Toby only fixed his eyes on her, immediately knowing what hergesture meant because she could no longer cover up her wrongdoings. “Tina!” Julia quickly camecloser to her daughter and hugged her, placing her hands on her shoulders. “Are you alright, Tina?"Nevertheless, Tina only puckered her lips, wanting to say something, only to swallow her own wordseventually. Feeling helpless and panicked, Julia turned to Toby and asked, “What was it that youwere telling Tina, Toby? What's all that about posing as Sonia and Maple? I don't understand asingle thing about that matter at all.”

Without looking at the woman, Toby kept his eyes on Tina and replied to Julia, saying,

“Your beloved daughter posed as the person whom I had always thought to be the woman of my lifeand enjoyed what was not rightfully hers for six years.” “What?! So, you're saying you don't love Tinanow?" Julia raised her voice. However, Toby responded with a cold grunt and said, “I never lovedher, in fact. Sonia has always been the one I've loved because she is the one who's truly my pen pal,and the only reason Tina got to be with me was that she posed as her. Why else do you think I'dconfess my love to someone like her, whom I never met six years ago?” “Well...” Julia was tongue-tied as she began to recall what had happened. While she knew the two of them had never seeneach other due to the inequality between their statuses, she quickly realized it was actually Tobywho wasn't aware at all about her existence.

On the other hand, Tina had truly seen Toby before, judging by how he was an outstanding man anywoman would dream of marrying. One day, Toby unexpectedly showed up at the Gray Residenceand confessed his love for Tina, which Julia found to be strange because he had never seen herbefore, especially with his sentimental gaze. Nonetheless, she quickly dismissed it as a reason thathe fell in love with Tina at first sight. Furthermore, their young age served to convince Julia evenmore that both of them were just a young couple who desperately sought some unforgettableromance. However, now that the truth had been uncovered, she was shocked to discover that it washer daughter who had been scheming to take Toby away from Sonia all along.

At the thought of that, Julia cast a strange gaze on Tina, who guiltily looked away before the latterstood up and seized Toby's arm in a tearful manner. “I'm sorry, Toby. This is all my fault. I'm so sorry!I shouldn't have posed as Sonia, but I just couldn't help it because—I love you!” Knowing she couldnever get away with the fact that her scheme was exposed, Tina decisively apologized to Toby andbegged for forgiveness. After all, she reckoned she still stood a chance to win his favor if she couldhave his forgiveness. “You love me?” Toby chuckled in irony while pinching Tina's chin hard. “Youposed as Sonia and took what was hers away from her because you loved me. Well, if everyone justtakes anything they want from others just because they love them, what kind of world would we beliving in?!” Toby pinched Tina's chin harder this time.

As Tina was overwhelmed by the painful twinge, tears began to roll down her cheek. Meanwhile,Toby felt a stab of pain in his heart when he saw her tears, but it wasn't because he felt sympathetictoward her, but because the same thing that happened at the restaurant the last time was nowhappening again. Therefore, Toby made up his mind to bear with the pain he was going through onthe inside because he was never going to tolerate Tina ever again. After that, he shook off her chinand took a handkerchief from his breast pocket to wipe his fingers with a disgusted look on his face.Upon wiping them, he even threw the handkerchief away as a gesture of revulsion.

“I'll cancel our engagement as soon as possible, Tina, but be warned that I will not go easy on youfor the lie you fed us in the past six years, so you'd better pray hard from now on.” Toby finished hiswords while fixing his cold gaze on Tina like a sharp blade that pierced through her soul. It was onlya few moments later that he took his eyes off her and left the mansion. The moment Tobydisappeared from sight, Tina went weak in her limbs and collapsed onto the ground like she wasexhausted from days of starvation. While her face was covered in a cold sweat, she couldn't stopthinking about Toby's intimidating gaze because he seemed as if he was going to make her suffer ina living hell.

At the thought of that, she curled up and hugged herself. “What's going on?” Julia sympatheticallylet out a sigh and asked. “Mom.” Tina held her mother's hands and agitatedly asked, “What should Ido now, Mom? What should I do?" As Julia started to feel Tina's fingers tightening around her palm,she began to see red marks, whereupon she tried to free herself from her daughter's grip.Nevertheless, Tina simply wouldn't let go, as if she was waiting for her mother to suggestsomething. In the end, Julia helplessly endured the pain and said, “I didn't know about this at all.After all, you did pose as Sonia, and you can't really blame Toby for being mad about it. Anyway,why didn't you tell your dad and me about this back then? We both had always thought that Tobywas truly in love with you.” In fact, Julia and her husband had always thought it was Sonia who triedto take Tina's place. “What's the point of saying those things now?!” Tina shook off her mother'shand and screeched, “Toby is going to cancel our engagement now, and I can't let that happen! Iwent through a lot before I got this far, so I'm never going to let this opportunity slip away. I'drather die if that happened!” She then frantically stretched her arms to reach for her own face,leaving red scratch marks on the skin.

Fearing that Tina could disfigure her face, Julia immediately restrained her hands and consoled her."Okay. Okay, we won't let that happen. I'll call your dad and talk to him about this.” As soon as shefinished her words, she instantly gave Titus a call. In the meantime, Tom approached Toby with anumbrella when he saw him coming out of the house. “Have you told her everything, PresidentFuller?” “Take me to Bayside Residence now.”

Toby didn't answer Tom's question, only closing his eyes tiredly after getting into the car. Seeing histired look, Tom was left with his mouth wide open as he went ahead to start the engine and leavehis question behind him. An hour later, they arrived at Bayside Residence, whereupon Toby knockedon the door at Sonia's apartment. At that moment, she happened to be writing when she heard theknock on the door. Thus, she put down her pen and went to replace out who it was. “Who is it?” On theother hand, Toby was able to hear her voice but didn't respond to it. After all, he knew she wouldn'topen the door for him if he did. At the same time, Sonia yawned and went ahead to answer thedoor without even looking through the peephole.

When she saw Toby, she was stunned for a split second before she knitted her eyebrows and closedthe door. However, Toby was quick enough to stop it by placing his hand on the door, pitifullybegging her not to turn him away. “Please don't close the door. I have something to tell you.” “Whatis it?” Sonia knitted her eyebrows. Knowing she wouldn't close the door, Toby put his hand downand set his eyes on Sonia in an emotional manner before he wrapped his arms around her.

Shocked by the man’s sudden behavior, Sonia took a few seconds to process what was going on,whereupon she tried to shove him away with a pair of widened, angry eyes. “What're you doing,Toby? Let me go!” However, Toby showed no signs of letting up at all but instead hugged her eventighter. I'll never let you go, Sonia! You're the woman I love!

Meanwhile, Sonia grew angrier and angrier when Toby's drenched shirt was beginning to dampenher clothes because of his refusal to let go. In the end, she bit her lip and stomped on the man's toe,hurting him as he moaned in pain with a pair of furrowed brows. Nonetheless, he still didn't let goof Sonia, which angered her even more and prompted her to raise her hand in the air before shegave him a slap.
