This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

There was something incredibly gratifying about being praised. Rina had spent the last twenty-six years

of her life being subjected to abuse and she never understood parental love until she arrived at the Gray

Residence, whereupon she discovered how potent and enthralling it was to become the object of

parental affection. Why can‘t such wonderful parents be my biological family?

“How did it go, honey? Has Toby agreed to reinstate our partnership and the engagement?” Julia asked

nervously, clutching her hands together like she was in prayer. “If the engagement were to resume,

would he choose Tina or Rina?”

Upon hearing this, Rina became tense and watched Titus with wary eyes.

Titus, on the other hand, tightly clenched the cup in his hand as his features twisted into a grimace. If the

cup wasn’t made out of glass, he would’ve squeezed it into pieces. “No, he has not!” he finally bit out

through gritted teeth, rage and spite coloring his voice.

Julia froze. “He hasn’t? As in, he doesn’t want to reinstate both the partnership and the engagement?”

He practically threw the cup onto the table as he answered gloomily, “Yes, that’s what I meant. He hasn’t

agreed to do anything at all!”

“How is that possible, though?” A stunned Julia covered her mouth with a shaky hand.

While standing at one side, Rina was elated to hear this. She was more than relieved to know that the

engagement would remain canceled. She had neither wanted to marry into the Fuller Family nor have

Toby reinstate his engagement with Tina; she didn’t want Tina to marry well, for fear that it would only

make it harder to throw that infernal girl out of the Gray Family.

And as for me… The silhouette of a cavalier and lean figure flashed in Rina’s mind and she couldn’t help

the blood that rushed to her face as her heart began to race.

Since she was afraid that Titus and Julia would catch her looking flustered, she quickly looked down and

hid her face from their view.

However, it was clear that neither Titus nor Julia were paying attention to her, so they were unaware of

how flushed she looked right now.

Julia dug her nails into her palms, growing antsy as she demanded, “Why in the world would he turn us

down? We have evidence of his affair and he should know better than to refuse

us”

“Why should he know better?” Titus let out a hollow, self deprecating laugh. “His name alone is enough

to keep anyone from aggravating him, even if we were to publicize all proof of his affair. The most

damage he’d get out of it would be a couple of scathing remarks made behind his back, and as for the

netizens…”

He broke off in a contemptuous scoff, then continued, “Toby would probably have liaised with all the

media powerhouses and social media platforms before we could even air his dirty laundry on the

internet. And our plan to use the netizens to tarnish his reputation would be stymied. From how I look at

it, there’s no way he would be threatened by the mere likes of us.”

“But.” Julia was rendered speechless by her husband’s sour analysis. She stammered to filter her

thoughts into words, but in the end, she could only manage hoarsely, “So, we were excited over

nothing?”

“Pretty much,” Titus agreed with a sigh.

They had believed that they could finally one-up Toby with evidence of his scandal and needle him into

giving them what they wanted, but as it turned out, their plan was only good on paper.

As she sobbed into her hands, Julia wailed, “At this rate, what’s going to happen to our enterprise?”

Titus thoughtfully narrowed his eyes. “If push comes to shove, then we‘d have to settle for a merger. We

could let go of some of our shares, but at the great risk of losing control over the enterprise, and that

would be the end of the Gray Family’s reign over the company.”

If that happened, then Triforce Enterprise would no longer be the Gray Family’s business; they would be

reduced to the same standing as any other shareholder.

Triforce Enterprise was Titus’ brainchild and after having poured his blood, sweat and tears into building

it up from scratch, he could not sit by and watch it slip through his fingers like fine sand. However, he

could not obtain a loan anywhere even from financial institutes. As things stood, he had to resort to

desperate measures, even if it meant settling for a merger, which was something he would never have

considered otherwise.

Julia stared at her husband, her heart twisting when she noticed how withered he looked. “Honey-”

“Right, it’s getting late and we should all get some rest. When Tina comes home from the hospital

tomorrow, keep an eye on her so that she doesn’t cause us any more trouble.” He rose from his seat and

rubbed his temple tiredly. “I finally realized that she is no match for Sonia, not even in the slightest.”

With an obedient nod, she replied, “Alright.”

The darkness of the night slowly passed and when the morning arrived, Charles showed up at the

hospital to escort Sonia.

She eyed him in askance. “Did you come alone?”

“Who else were you expecting?” He cast her a sideways glance.

Sonia stood next to her bed and placed a hand on her lower abdomen, which was still sore from the

procedure. “I just thought Carl might come along with you.”

“I called him to ask if he wanted to, but for some reason, couldn’t get through his phone. I don’t know

what he’s up to either, so I figured I’d just come here without him,” Charles explained with a casual shrug.

Then, a sudden thought crossed his mind before he asked, “By the way, did something happen between

you and Carl yesterday?”
