Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 573 Toby’s Confession

“And?”

“Then…” Sonia trembled a little as her expression implied that she was blaming herself. “Then, I asked him how he was, but he said he was fine, so I thought he was just bothered by the situation that Paradigm Co. was in. Had I insisted on taking him to a doctor, I would’ve known that he was drugged and he wouldn’t have taken his own life as a result. It’s all my fault; I could have saved him, but I missed my chance to do so because I was negligent. Am I a terrible daughter, Toby?”

“No, you aren’t.” Toby held her hand and looked at her in a serious manner. “After all, no one in the world can predict what will happen the next minute, and neither did it occur to anyone that your father was mentally ill because he was drugged. So, all of this isn’t your fault and you need to stop blaming yourself for that. Furthermore, I believe your dad wouldn’t want you to beat yourself up either. In fact, what you need to do now is to stop dwelling on what you think was your mistake and gather the evidence that can prove your father was drugged.”

Sonia’s eyes widened in response as he seemingly managed to talk some sense into her. She then pulled herself together and acted like a tough cookie. “You’re right. I need to pull myself together and avenge my father!”

“Now, that’s the spirit.” Toby gently caressed her hair and asked, “Are you hungry? You haven’t eaten anything since this morning, so I bet you’re probably starving, aren’t you?”

Sonia was about to say that she wasn’t hungry because she had lost her appetite after learning the shocking revelation. However, before she could speak her mind, her stomach started to growl, prompting her to cover it with her hands with an embarrassed look.

Toby chuckled and stood up before he held her hand and led her to the dining area. “Come on, let’s grab something to eat first. You need to keep your strength up so that you have the energy to go on with your day, and that includes avenging your father.”

She puckered her lips in silence and obediently followed the man. After breakfast, he went out to take care of his work, although he had a wedding ceremony to attend. Therefore, he didn’t stick around to accompany Sonia.

Meanwhile, Sonia stayed behind in the estate to wait for Nancy’s news. When the clock struck 3:00PM, Nancy’s call came through where she informed Sonia about Jessica’s location. Sonia learned that Jessica had been deported from Kosovo to the Republic of Mesania where she held citizenship rights. Therefore, she was currently on a plane back to the Republic of Mesania.

Jessica’s whereabouts, Sonia furrowed her eyebrows because she was already one step behind. After all, she had planned to make her way to Jessica’s current location and interrogate her, but was surprised that the Lazuli Family had beat her to it

Therefore, she reckoned she would be less busy by then and would have more time to locate Jessica. Thinking that Jessica could lead her to more discoveries about Titus’ wicked plan back then, Sonia believed she should start her investigation with her half-sister.
