This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 815 The Lust for Freedom

Zane cushioned both arms behind his head and started complaining, “I don’t understand how the two of you grew up to be so different when you were both raised by the same father! I know that you aren’t sisters by blood, but how did you turn out so good while she became so bad?! Were you taught differently growing up?”

Sonia let out a chuckle at that. “Of course we were taught the same thing. The only different thing is our genes.”

She then took a small pause as her eyes slowly fell on Jessica. “Sandra wasn’t a good person, either. She only got married to Dad after her carefully planned pregnancy. Also, she… Never mind. Anyway, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. A daughter born from a woman like that can’t be much different from the mother. Even if she was taught the right things growing up, it is impossible to remove the bad genetics she had received from Sandra.”

“That is an interesting way to put it.” Zane nodded his head in approval. “Is that the reason why you are insistent on finding a good man? So that you can erase Jessica’s bad genes?”

Sonia nodded in return and said, “That is about right. If we are going to make an heir for the Reed Family, we can’t be sloppy about getting the right genes. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to raise a kid who will eventually turn into a second Jessica.”

“You are doing a great job,” he supportively reassured her, but just as he was about to give her a pat on the shoulder, he seemed to be stopped by his thoughts and only let his hand hover over her shoulder. With a disappointed look on his face, he curled his fingers before nonchalantly tucking his hand into his bag. He then continued asking, “Why are you raising Jessica’s kid for her after all the bullying she has put you through?”

“I’m not doing it for her. I’m doing it for the Reed Family.” She shook her head as she lightly pressed her throbbing temples. “I may be a Reed in name, but it is for a fact that we are not bonded by blood. For Jessica to poison Dad and do all the other evil things, I’m sure she will stay in prison for life without having the chance to get married nor have kids. Also, I don’t want to see her get married. She is definitely too much for any man to handle. This is the only thing I can do to continue the Reeds’ bloodline.”

After listening to her explanation, Zane looked at her with a complicated look. “But really, the reason you are doing this is because you feel guilty about continuing the family name yourself because you aren’t related to them by blood, correct? I doubt you’ll ever feel at peace if you were the successor.”
