Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 484 Replacement

Toby noticed that something was off with Sonia after she got out of the car just now. Obviously, she was shaken,

and he was worried something had happened to her.

Charles stopped swinging his arm around and sneered at Toby. “Hey, Fuller. I thought you had given up on her.

You’re staying away, aren’t you? So why are you asking me all these questions? Decided you wouldn’t give up after

all?”

Toby’s face darkened. “That’s none of your business. You just need to answer my question—what happened to

her?”

“Why should I? Since you have given up on her, whatever she does is none of your business. You have no right to

question.” Charles crossed his arms, thinking that Toby couldn’t do anything if he refused to answer.

Toby squinted coldly. “Do you really think I can’t find out for myself just because you refuse to talk, Lane?”

Charles was stunned. “What are you talking about?”

“I know she went to your place, so…” Toby whipped his phone out and made a call.

It went through a moment later, and a familiar voice said, “Hello, Mr. Fuller.”

“Mom?” Charles was stunned that his own mother was taking the call. He looked at Toby incredulously. “How did

you get my mom’s number? And why are you guys staying in touch?”

Tom adjusted his glasses and smirked. “Oh, you don’t know? Your mother and the madam used to go to the same

college.”

“My mother was his mother’s college mate?” Charles’ pitch rose. “Impossible!”

“But that’s the truth.” Tom shrugged. “Not only did they go to the same college, they were good friends as well.

Your mother and the madam worked together to set up that beauty parlor, you know. But after the madam’s

demise, President Fuller inherited her share, so he’s also your mother’s business partner as well. That’s why he has

her number.”

The corner of Charles’ lips twitched after hearing that explanation. “Holy cow. I never thought something like this

would happen.” And I had no idea about it.

Toby was surprised after hearing Grace recounting the incident earlier. “What? You told her about the truth?”

When Charles heard that, he went over and grabbed the edge of the window that was rolled down halfway. “You

know Sonia isn’t the Reeds’ real daughter, Fuller?” He stared at Toby.

Toby ignored him as he continued, “I see. Thank you, then.” After that, he put his phone down.

Charles gritted his teeth and repeated, “Fuller, you knew Sonia isn’t the Reeds’ real daughter, don’t you?”

“None of your business.” Toby looked at Tom. “Drive.”

“Yes,” Tom replied and pulled Charles away from the window.

Toby took the chance to roll the window back up.

“Don’t go, Fuller!” Charles banged on the window. “Roll down the window and tell me the truth. How did you know

Sonia is not the Reeds’ real daughter? And when did you find out? Tell me, Fuller!”

Toby heard his questions, of course, but he ignored Charles and closed his eyes as he thought about something.

Tom got into the driver’s seat and drove away despite Charles’ angry protests.

Charles stomped his foot furiously when he was forced to bite the dust.

Tom looked in the rear-view mirror and saw Charles flailing his arms, and he smirked. However, that smirk faded

quickly, then he looked at Toby’s reflection in the side mirror. “Who would have thought Mrs. Lane knew about this

as well. And she even told Miss Reed about it.”

Toby nodded. “That is indeed a surprise.” He thought this secret was only known to Henry and Lina. Since they were

long gone, nobody else would have found out about it. However, he never expected Grace to be one of those who

knew about the truth, and she actually told Sonia about it. I wonder why she told Sonia.

Toby was frowning pensively. Tom noticed that, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked, “President Fuller, do

you think Mrs. Lane told Miss Reed that the Grays are her real parents?”

“I don’t think so.” Toby shook his head. “I sounded her out just now, and she told me the Reeds got Sonia from an

orphanage, so I guess she doesn’t know that Henry took her from the Grays instead of the orphanage. Perhaps not

even Lina knew about this.”

“Henry kept the secret well then, since his own wife didn’t know about it.” Tom was surprised.

Toby pursed his lips. “I’m wondering why Henry kept Sonia and raised her like she was his own.”

Tom nodded as well. “I have the same question. The Reeds and Grays were already enemies back then. Titus stole

Paradigm’s tech and almost bankrupted them, and he was behind the death of one of Henry’s workers. That was

why Henry took Miss Reed away and tried to kill her as an act of vengeance, but he stopped at the last possible

moment and raised her himself. That’s odd.”

Toby tapped his finger against his knee, but he said nothing.

Tom suddenly asked, “Oh, right. Now that Miss Reed knows the truth, she must feel awful. Is it really okay if we just

leave her alone?”

“I know Sonia well. She’s upset and in pain, but she doesn’t need our concern. All she needs is silence. This is her

fight and hers alone. She must get through it herself, and nobody can help her. Any help we give is external and

weak. It’ll eventually wear off, so she must accept the truth herself. That’s the only way she can recover, but I

believe that she will get through this fairly quickly.” Toby smiled calmly, but he had a confident look in his eyes.

Since Toby was so confident, Tom shrugged and said nothing.

On the other hand, Sonia threw herself onto the couch after she came back, then she stared at the ceiling for the

longest time before blinking. That was the only proof she was a human instead of a doll.

The things that Grace told her hit her hard. I’m not my parents’ daughter. I’m just her replacement. My identity, the

love I got, and even my name do not belong to me. She was nothing but a replacement for the dead baby. All she

had now belonged to the real Sonia, and she was nothing but a stand in.

Her eyes turned red, and a drop of tear rolled down her cheek and fell onto the couch, drenching a small part of it.

But then, from the corner of her eye, she saw the box she tossed onto the coffee table. Since it was her mother’s

keepsake, she quickly sat up and took the box to open it.

She wanted to know what was inside it, and why her mother left her this box. The box was opened shortly

thereafter, but much to her surprise, there were no photos or DNA test results inside. Instead, there was a CD.
