Chapter 535 We Lost Her

That’s not possible, Sonia thought, still alarmed by Toby’s proclamation. If it’s true that Tina never truly loved him, then why was she so possessive of him?

As though reading her mind, Toby elaborated grimly, “She never truly loved me for me! After I blacked out from that particular car accident, I had Tom look into Tina, and we discovered a crucial piece of information.”

“What was it?” Sonia asked anxiously.

Tom interjected, “We found out that, at that point, she had known for quite a while that she wasn’t Titus’ biological daughter.”

“Yes. Tina discovered at the age of eighteen that she was not Titus’ biological daughter, which means there was a chance that he wouldn’t pass Triforce Enterprise to her. Even if he would, she knew her lack of skills in running a business would only jeopardize the company. There was a real likelihood that Triforce Enterprise could go bankrupt or be taken over by the shareholders, so in order for her to keep up her lavish lifestyle, she began to set eyes on all the successful men in the industry.”

Sonia’s jaw dropped when she heard Toby’s explanation. “No way.”

“It’s all true, Miss Reed. I looked into the men Tina had set her eyes on and found that they were bachelors from and heirs to some of the most elite families in the industry,” Tom began elaborating. “Our President Fuller happened to be the cream of the crop, but with the Gray Family’s standing back in the day, they were far from being in his league. Tina couldn’t find a way to even get close to President Fuller, until she discovered that he was pen pals with you, Miss Reed.”

“Pen pals…” Sonia’s face fell as she remembered something. So that’s what happened! Tina and I went to the same university, and she was even my roommate!

The scene of Tina catching her writing letters flashed in Sonia’s mind. They had been in their first year of university then, and she recalled Tina making fun of her for using such archaic methods to communicate with someone. Following this, Tina even rallied the other students from the course to join in the teasing.

But one day, Tina suddenly showed interest in Sonia’s pen pal and started asking questions about him. She had always been reproachful of Sonia’s letter-writing, but out of nowhere, she claimed to have plans on finding herself a pen pal as well.

Perhaps that had been the precise moment when Tina, by some way or another, discovered Toby and Sonia were pen pals. Then she had the idea to impersonate me so that she could finally get close to Toby!

At the thought of this, Sonia closed her eyes and bit out angrily, “It was my fault for not seeing through her schemes at the beginning.”
