This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 802

Hurtful Words

“I was the one who told Anya not to say anything,” Sonia replied smilingly.

Charles frowned, unable to comprehend the reason for it. “Why?”

“Why else? What if someone got killed for real?” Sonia said, rubbing her temples.

Charles understood immediately, but he also fell silent.

Yes, it’ll be terrible if someone died.

“Ahem.” Nonetheless, Charles quickly regained his composure. He adjusted his tie and smiled again. “I
thought that woman didn’t say anything on purpose.”

“She wouldn’t dare to,” Sonia replied with assurance.

Anya would dare to misguide the netizens, but she would never be brave enough to hide her reasons
for apologizing.

After all, those were entirely different things.

Not everyone was smart enough to notice that she was misguiding the netizens, but if she refused to
explain her reasons for apologizing, everyone would be able to catch on.

As such, Sonia was very sure that Anya wouldn’t dare to do it.

“Alright, since that’s what you want, then I won’t say anything more. Sonny, just keep an eye on Toby
and don’t let him attract any more girls outside. If you can’t do that, you can just abandon him.
Otherwise, you’ll end up getting hurt yourself,” Charles said with a pout.



Meanwhile, Sonia didn’t know if she should laugh or cry. “Alright, I’m not a fool. I know what to do, so
don’t worry about me. Worry about yourself first.”

“Me?” Charles pointed at himself in confusion. “What is there to worry about?”

Sonia looked over to Daphne, who had her head lowered as she quietly listened to her call. Sighing in
her heart, Sonia prodded Charles over the phone. “Your love life, of course. Charles, you’re almost 31
now. Don’t you want to get a girlfriend?”

Upon hearing that, Daphne swiftly raised her head and stared at Sonia’s phone with a panicked look in
her eyes.

“Chairman…” Daphne called in a quiet voice. She feared that Sonia would recommend her to Charles
just then.

After all, Sonia was always supportive of her pursuing Charles.

If Charles didn’t dislike her and Sonia had recommended her, she would only be nervous instead of
scared.

However, it was true that Charles disliked her. If Sonia recommended Daphne, Charles would think she
had asked Sonia to do the recommendation. By then, Charles would hate her even more.

Sonia knew what Daphne was worried about with just a glance at the latter’s expression.

She shook her head slightly at Daphne while giving the latter a comforting smile. It was as if she were
saying, ‘Don’t worry, I won’t say anything unnecessary.’

Upon seeing that, Daphne finally managed to calm herself a little.

However, she hadn’t completely relaxed yet as her kept her gaze trained on Sonia’s phone.



After hearing Sonia ask about his love life, Charles had a darkened expression on his face. He then
said with a bitter smile, “Don’t you know me well enough, Sonny? I’ve never gotten over you, so how
can I find a new girlfriend? Even if I did, it wouldn’t be fair for her.”

“I know.” Sonia sighed. “But you can find a compatible woman to accept and love. Who knows, maybe
you’ll really fall in love with her in the end.”

“There isn’t anyone suitable,” said Charles disapprovingly while he shrugged his shoulders.

Sonia looked toward Daphne, and the latter tensed up once again.

Meanwhile, Sonia hastily averted her gaze and said tentatively, “Perhaps you haven’t looked hard
enough. You’re so handsome, and you have a good family background too. There should be lots of
girls who like you, so why don’t you try it out with a girl who likes you a lot?”

She discreetly turned on the loudspeaker just then, and Daphne could hear Charles’ voice clearly.

Charles still had that disapproving tone as he spoke. “It’s fine. Those women are all the same, and I’m
not interested in them one bit.”

Upon hearing Charles’ words, Daphne went pale in the face. Her anticipation was dashed to pieces,
and she felt so cold that she might as well be a popsicle.

Seeing Daphne like that, Sonia parted her red lips, feeling a deep regret in her heart.

She had wanted to test the waters in Daphne’s stead to see if Daphne had a future with Charles.

However, she had never expected Charles’ reply to be so hurtful.

Even though he hadn’t mentioned Daphne specifically, she was still one of the girls who liked him.



Nonetheless, Charles said that he had no interest in girls who liked him, so didn’t it include Daphne as
well?

Sonia deeply regretted her actions, for she shouldn’t have let Daphne suffer this damage by turning on
the loudspeaker.

She glanced at the other woman and eventually sighed. Then, Sonia furrowed her brows as she said
through the phone, “Charles, don’t you think your words are a little too hurtful?”

Charles leaned against his chair lazily as he said nonchalantly, “How hurtful could it be? It’s not like I’m
saying those words directly to them.”

“You—” Driven to anger by Charles’ reply, Sonia pinched the area between her eyebrows. “Fine, let’s
not talk about that anymore. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll hang up now.”

With that, she moved to end the call.

However, Charles stopped her. “Wait, Sonny.”

“What is it?” Sonia asked.

Charles sat upright. “It’s nothing too important, but my mom wanted to treat you and Toby to a meal
after she received news of you two getting back together. She wanted to do this some time ago, but I
told her you were busy, so she hasn’t asked you herself. I know she won’t give up and will probably ask
you in the future, so this is just a heads up.”

“Why would she want to treat us to a meal?” Sonia was surprised.

It was normal for Grace to treat her to a meal, but it wasn’t usual for Toby to be invited as well. Hence,
Sonia couldn’t help but overthink.



Charles smiled. “You two getting back together is no small matter, and my mom treats you like her own
daughter. It seems like she wants to invite the both of you to a meal so that she can have a word with
Toby. After all, Toby has taken her goddaughter away for a second time, and it’s only natural for her to
want to have a word with him.”

Sonia nodded and smiled. “I see. Alright, please tell Mrs. Lane that Toby and I would gladly accept her
invitation. Just tell us the date.”

“Sure,” Charles replied.

After ending the call, Sonia put down her phone and sighed slightly. She then looked at Daphne, who
had her head lowered so that no one could see her expression. Guilt washed over Sonia as she said,
“Daphne… I’m so sorry for what happened just now. I didn’t know that Charles would—”

“It’s okay, Chairman.” Daphne looked up, her eyes red and expression sorrowful. Despite that, she still
managed to squeeze a smile onto her lips.

It was a tight and difficult smile, however.

“I know you’re trying to make it work for my sake, so I’m not going to blame you. You did it out of
kindness, after all. I know you just want me to be happy. Still, I’ve always known what he’s like, so I’m
not surprised at all to hear him talk like that. After all, he doesn’t fancy girls who like him—especially
when it’s me.” Daphne’s voice was bitter.

After all, it was her fault for getting onto Charles’ bed while he was drunk.

Even though he was the one who held onto her and refused to let her go because he had mistaken her
for Sonia, the woman was sober. A grown adult should have enough energy to push a drunkard away
and even send the drunkard somewhere they could sober up.



However, she didn’t do that; she allowed him to do whatever he pleased and indulged in it herself.
Hence, it was why Charles hated her so much right now.

She did it to herself, and she deserved it very much.

Sometimes she would ask herself if she regretted not pushing Charles away that day.

She couldn’t deceive herself, and she felt nothing but regret.
