This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 699 Rose’s Contemptuous Pity

Jean was rendered tongue-tied by Sonia’s words, not knowing how she should respond. Which of us matters more? While the answer was obvious to Jean herself, she was reminded of Toby’s words that she was not as important as Sonia, although she was his stepmother. Therefore, she had no idea how to reply to Sonia.

Noticing Jean’s bitter look, Sonia chuckled and said, “It looks like you know the answer yourself, so do you really think that I don’t have the courage to do that?”

While Jean shivered and glared at Sonia without saying a word, the latter snapped her fingers and calmly said, “I’m only warning you for the sake of those years that you spent raising Toby, but instead of a warning, I prefer the word, advice. I’m advising you to be more polite to me from now on. Forget about whatever monkey business you’re up to; otherwise, you’ll end up like I just told you.”

“You’re only so arrogant because you think you’re protected by Toby’s love for you.” Jean clenched her jaw. “If Toby no longer loves you, I bet you don’t even have the guts to show me any disrespect, so you’d better pray that Toby loves you forever because I’m going to come after you otherwise.”

“Thanks for the reminder.” Sonia squinted with a smiling face. “But don’t you worry about that because that day will never come. Even if Toby doesn’t love me anymore, I’ll be sure to make my move against you before you can do anything to me.”

“You…” Jean was speechless once again with a pale face. Deep down, she knew she could never win in a battle of argument or a physical fight against Sonia. Therefore, she stomped the ground and left, thinking she had had enough of Sonia’s haughty attitude.

In the meantime, Sonia kept her eyes on Jean as the latter walked away, stroking her chin with a pair of smiling eyes on her face.

Well, I have to admit that playing a bad girl to warn someone feels especially satisfying. No wonder everyone likes to give others a stuck-up attitude nowadays.

Soon, she responded with a grunt and made her way back to the ward as soon as Jean disappeared from sight in the elevator.

On the other hand, Rose was reading a magazine when she happened to hear footsteps coming closer. Without even looking up, she asked, “Did you manage to say goodbye to her?”

“Yes, I did,” Sonia replied with an affirmative hum.
