This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 1418 Only Child

Hearing Toby's question, Tom instantly lowered his head dejectedly. "President Fuller, I'm heartbroken."

Toby was stunned by this sudden piece of information. "Since when were you in a relationship?"

As his superior, he was confused as to why he didn't know about this earlier.

Tom instantly choked miserably. "Just recently, but it's an online relationship. We haven't met in real life yet."

Toby raised an eyebrow. "Online relationship? Are they trustworthy?"

His words were like a sharp arrow, viciously shooting into Tom's heart.

Tom clutched his chest, feeling even more despondent. "Not at all. I saw how good your relationship is with Mrs.

Fuller, and I'm already thirty-one, so I wanted to find a girlfriend for myself. The thing is, I was too busy to look for

an actual one. Hence, one of my friends told me to look for one on the internet. I thought it sounded interesting, so

that's what I did. I met a girl with a nice voice and a good sense of humor, and after talking to her for some time,

we started dating."

"Then, what?" Toby asked, looking at him. He had a feeling that things didn't turn out that simple.

"Then…" Tom covered his face in pain. "Then, while we were dating, I kept sending her money. I'd spent over a

hundred thousand on her, but when I asked her for an offline meetup yesterday, she rejected me. Then, I looked at

her personal details and found out that she's actually a guy… Sob…"

At this point, he finally broke into tears. He bawled, hard. Anyone else would've broken down if they encountered

something like this during their first romantic relationship. After all, he had truly given his heart away.

At the sight of Tom sobbing sorrowfully, Toby looked at him in disdain. "You're just stupid. Why didn't you figure out

whom he is before getting into a relationship? If you waited to think of this after you sacrificed your time and

money, who's to blame other than yourself?"

Tom was speechless, unable to refute. Toby was right. He was too eager to get into a relationship and had dove into

one without looking his partner up. It wasn't at all surprising that he got cheated.

"A hundred thousand isn't a small amount; it already qualifies as a scam. Best if you lodge a police report." Toby

then opened the door to the back seat and got into the car.

Tom hurriedly entered the driver's seat before he continued, "I've already made a report. They're looking into it

now and said they would contact me in a few days. This is so frustrating. If I get to see that guy, I'm gonna teach

him a lesson. How dare he lie to me."

"You were too impulsive. He was wrong, but aren't you too?" Toby shot him a look.

Tom instantly gave in. "You're right, I am."

"I've decided." Toby rubbed his temples before saying, "After I've dealt with Connor, I'll give you a month off, so go

and take a good rest and find a real girlfriend. Then, you can transfer to one of our subsidiary companies and work

as the CEO there. That way, you'll have the time to settle your romantic relationships."

Toby was aware that Tom would not have any time to date anyone if he continued to work for him, and it was what

he owed Tom as his superior. Hence, he decided to let him go so that he could find a partner, or he would soon turn

forty if he kept dragging it on.

Hearing that, Tom instantly cheered up, his eyes brightening as he said, "All right. Thank you, President Fuller."

"Right, start driving." Toby lifted his chin.

Tom inhaled deeply and collected his thoughts before he began to maneuver the car seriously. An hour later, they

arrived at Trifecta Hospital.

Toby made a beeline for Titus' ward, and when he arrived at the doorway, he heard Julia's urgent voice from inside.

"Titus, what should we do? The police don't have any information about Rina. Where on earth did she go? Why did

she disappear all of a sudden?"

The door was ajar, and Toby easily pushed it open. Inside, Julia was standing by the bed with her back toward him,

while Titus lay on the bed, as thin as a rake. Though he was awake, he looked extremely worn out. "Calm down now.

Think carefully where Rina could've gone."

"I have, but I can't come up with anything." Julia was about to burst into tears.

Although she could not become close with Rina, she was still the child that she had finally given birth to after trying

for a long time, not to mention she had waited for over twenty years for her to return to her side, so how could she

not love her? As for why they weren't as close as she hoped them to be, it was probably because they didn't spend

much time together, so they didn't know much about each other yet.

"Stop looking. She's with me." Toby spoke up, interrupting the voices in the ward.

Julia and Titus simultaneously looked in his direction.

When Titus saw Toby, his expression shifted, his gaunt face seeming even more horrifying due to his shock. "It's

you? Why are you here?"

Julia was shocked as well, but she quickly calmed down as someone had told her the day before that Toby would

come over today. She had already told them that she didn't welcome Toby and didn't want him here, but the person

said that her opinion didn't matter, and she couldn't stop him from coming. As expected, he showed up.

"What are you here for?" Julia warily stood in front of Titus to protect him, fearing that Toby would hurt him.

After all, Toby was now Sonia's husband, and Sonia was their sworn enemy, so there was no telling whether Toby

had shown up to take advantage of Titus' inability to move and end his life to avenge Sonia. Hence, Julia couldn't

help but feel nervous.

However, after entering the ward, Toby stopped by the foot of the bed, not showing any intention of moving

forward. His actions made Julia unable to figure out what his intentions were.

Just then, Titus' feeble voice sounded from behind her. "Lia, move aside." Lia was a nickname he gave Julia.

Julia turned around and shot him a glance. "But, Titus…"

"It's fine." Titus flashed a grimace at her. "I don't believe that Toby would dare to do anything to me today."

A sneer emerged on Toby's lips. "You're right. I'm not here today to do anything to the both of you. I just wanted to

tell you a secret."

"A secret?" Titus' murky eyes widened and fixed intently on him. "What are you trying to say? You aren't here to tell

us a secret. You're here to check if I'm dead, aren't you?"

Toby remained expressionless as he said, "Don't you know how simple it is for me to know if you're dead? I have my

men to inform me, so I don't even have to come over personally."

"You…" Titus' breathing turned rapid with anger at his words.

Julia was panic-stricken. "Titus, don't get too emotional. Did you forget about your current state of health?"

At the end of the day, Titus still wanted to live, and he knew that his body couldn't handle emotional fluctuations at

the moment. Hearing Julia's words, he immediately calmed himself down and said, "You're right, President Fuller.

So, what secret do you want to tell? But before you tell us, I need you to explain to us why my daughter is with you

and what you're planning to do with her. Even if you intend to avenge Sonia, you can just come at the two of us.

Why harm my daughter? My daughter has nothing to do with the feud back then."

"It seems like you really love your daughter." Toby looked at him with a conflicted gaze.

Titus replied coldly, "Why wouldn't I love my own child? Besides, she's my only child, the one that only came back to

me after she was lost for over twenty years! I'm willing to do anything for her!"
