This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 1232 He Is Not a Bad Guy

Since Daphne didn’t have any friends or relatives, the man was suspicious for claiming he was there to help her

with her belongings.

“If you lie to us, I will call the cops on you. Moreover, Paradigm Co. is my territory. You might not be able to leave

this place if I said so.” As Sonia spoke, she stared at the man, seemingly as if she would fight back as soon as he

had any sudden movements.

Although she was not strong, she could still subdue him since there were so many people in the room. Not only was

Sonia ready to fight back, Rita and the others were just as ready to make a move. Some even took out their phones

and were ready to call the police.

At this moment, the man finally spoke. “I’m not Daphne’s friend or relative.” As he spoke, he turned and looked at

Sonia.

Before this, he always kept his head down, so Sonia couldn’t see who he was. Now that she had a good look at him,

she was stunned momentarily. This is strange. I feel like I have seen him before. He gives off a familiar vibe. Am I

seeing things?

Thinking about it, Sonia pursed her lips and went through her memories. However, she couldn’t pinpoint where she

had seen him before. Thus, she could only suppress the suspicion in her and stared at him. “If you are not her

friend or relative, who are you? Also, how did you get up here?”

To her, this was the most crucial part. Whenever a stranger entered the company, the receptionist would ask about

their arrival. When everything was fine, only then would they let the stranger in. However, before the receptionist

was allowed to let strangers into the company, they had to contact the department or person which the stranger

desired. Only then would they let the stranger in after getting approval. All of these processes would be included.

So, what excuse did the man make to have the receptionist approve of his arrival? Moreover, who did they contact

and give them the approval to let him up here?

Thinking about it, Sonia turned and looked at Rita. Immediately, Rita knew her intentions and took out her phone to

contact the receptionist. Before investigating this matter, she intended to leave the scene since she feared the man

would stop her from it.

However, to her surprise, the man only glanced at her before looking back at Sonia. He had no intention of stopping

Rita.

Then, he bowed slightly at Sonia and said politely, “I’m sorry that I didn’t introduce myself, Miss Reed. I’m Daphne’s

neighbor.”

“Neighbor?” Sonia looked at him questionably.

“Yes.” The man nodded. “Daphne had asked me to help her with her things before she went abroad. Since her

mother couldn’t walk easily, she could only ask for my help. You can contact Daphne or her mother if you don’t

believe me.”

When Sonia heard his words and saw that he had admitted them without hesitation, she started to trust him.

However, due to precautions, she still decided to ask someone to contact Daphne or her mother.

Then, she asked one of the secretaries to handle this. When the said person got Sonia’s order, she immediately

obliged.

At the same time, Sonia glared at the man and queried, “Even if you said it to this point, who knows if you are

trying to get our guards down? Although Miss Daphne had resigned, her belongings are still here. Since she had a

high-paid salary, most of her belongings were valuable. Maybe you are some thief who lives around Daphne’s

house and intentionally pretended to be her neighbor when you knew she had resigned and didn’t take her

belongings. After having them, you will sell her things for money. Hmph, just wait and see. I will give them a call. If it

isn’t the same as you said, you are doomed.”

“That’s right.” When the others heard her words, they nodded in agreement.

When the man noticed this, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. After all, he was just here to take Daphne’s

belongings because his boss had ordered him to do so. Never did he expect that it would be a difficult task. Since he

was a quiet person, he didn’t know how to respond. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dragged the time for so long and

didn’t explain himself. Seeing that they were demanding to verify his identity, he didn’t say anything more and

gestured to them to do it. Then, he fell silent.

Seeing that he was calm, Sonia trusted him even more. All she had to do now was to wait for the secretary’s

verification.

After two minutes, the secretary in charge of contacting Daphne returned with a complex expression. When the

others asked if the man was a bad guy or not, her face was awkward.

Then, she put down her phone, looked at the man, and smiled apologetically. “About that… I just called Miss

Daphne, but she didn’t pick up since it might be nighttime for her. So, I called her mother, and she said that Miss

Daphne indeed had asked her neighbor—that would be him—to take her belongings. I even asked what he was

wearing, and it was the same as this man.”

At that moment, everyone looked at the man awkwardly.

“Oh… You really are her neighbor…”

“It seems that we have misunderstood you.”

They smiled awkwardly as they spoke.

At that moment, Rita had also returned. After glancing at the man, she said to Sonia, “I have asked the receptionist,

Chairman Reed. They said he claimed to be Miss Daphne’s neighbor and was here to take her belongings.

Moreover, he even showed them the text Miss Daphne had sent him, which was her phone number. Thus, they

didn’t inform us and approved his arrival immediately.”

“I see…” Sonia nodded slightly and knew how exactly the man got here.

When Daphne was still working as Sonia’s secretary in the company, she was her right-hand man. So, the

receptionist could contact Daphne straightforwardly if anyone wanted to look for her without Sonia’s approval.

Since the man had the text message Daphne sent him, it would only be expected if the receptionist let him in

without telling her about this.

“Don’t worry. He is indeed here to help Miss Daphne. We had just asked her mother about it,” said Sonia as she

patted Rita’s shoulder.

When Rita heard her words, she sighed in relief. “So, that’s how it is. I’m glad that he isn’t suspicious. However…”

As she spoke, she stared at the man with dissatisfaction, “Since you have Miss Daphne’s text, why didn’t you show it

to us? Moreover, why didn’t you say that you are her neighbor?”

The others were unhappy too. “Yeah, you gave us the wrong signal.”

The man knew that it was his fault too, so he apologized to them. “I’m sorry that I didn’t think of showing the text.

However, I did say that I was here to take Miss Daphne’s belongings. It’s just that you guys don’t believe me.”

Moreover, you guys thought that I was a criminal and wanted to call the cops on me.

When the others heard his explanation, they were dissatisfied with it.

“What do you mean by us not believing in you? You only told us that you were here to take her belongings, yet you

didn’t say you were her neighbor, and she asked for your help. So, when a stranger came up to us and said such

things without any evidence, of course, we would refuse to let you in.”

“Yeah!”

Hearing their words, the man knew that it was his mistake for not clarifying it. So, he felt embarrassed and

squeezed out a smile, saying, “I apologize about that. I’m not good at communication, so—”

Before he could finish his words, one of the secretaries cut him off and said, “It’s fine, and stop explaining yourself.

Since we know your identity, come and take Miss Daphne’s belongings. We don’t have all day!”
