This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1479-After comforting Mary, Toby began to inquire Rose about the current situation. She knew earlier than him that Sonia had been taken away and sent people to look for her as well, so it was the best option to ask her.
As expected, although Rose hadn’t found Sonia’s whereabouts, she knew their escape route.
“In the mountains?” Toby narrowed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down.
If he wasn’t calm in a time like this, he wouldn’t be able to think of anything and would only aggravate himself even more.
It made sense—to escape in a situation like that, Connor’s men could only leave from the mountains. If they took the main road, the surveillance captures could capture them at any time. Hence, the mountains were the only safe option.
“I already sent my men to search the mountains, and we found some footsteps and tire marks. They prepared a car on the other side of the mountain to switch transport, and my men are already investigating the direction in which the car had left. There should be news soon,” Rose said.
When Toby heard this, he felt a little more at ease. He then pulled out his phone and contacted the authorities, intending to look into the satellite surveillance system. The satellite was able to detect the movements of all the people and cars. Even if there weren’t any cameras on that road, the satellite would still be able to capture it, making it the best way to find Sonia.
After receiving Toby’s call and learning about his intentions, the authorities immediately agreed to help him look into the footage. First of all, Toby was one of the country’s major contributors, so they had no reason not to agree. Other than that, his grandfather was a founding minister of the country, and Connor was a heinous criminal himself, so naturally, the authorities wanted to find him quickly as well.
With the satellite cameras deployed, it would most likely take less than two hours to find Connor. Swallowing their worries for now, they waited for the news from the authorities.
On the other hand, in a deep mountain, Connor sat on a small stool outside a temporarily built warehouse with his phone in his hand. While he stared at something on his phone, Xander reported next to him, “Boss, Toby has already settled the issue at Fuller Group.”
“I know.” Connor was unperturbed. “This may be a huge issue for a small company, enough to make them go bankrupt, but for a behemoth like the Fuller Group, it’s nothing that a conference, an apology, and an appropriate compensation can’t solve. I was never planning to make Fuller Group go bankrupt in the first place. It was just to divert Toby and hold him back.”
Xander hummed in reply before asking, “But Toby should be aware that we’ve taken Sonia by now. Do you think that he’ll be able to find us?”
Connor lifted his head and looked at the sky without replying. Seeing that, Xander felt nothing but crippling anxiety.
Just then, Tina ascended the mountain. Her legs were not suited for climbing, so Connor had sent someone to carry her up.
Now, Tina could only be described as pitiful. Connor did not hire a doctor for her face, and she could only wrap her face tightly in bandages to prevent it from deforming even further, turning her into a living mummy that was wrapped in gauze. Tina felt nothing but hatred regarding this; she hated Connor for ruining her face, but she despised Sonia even more.
Hence, upon seeing Connor, she immediately demanded, “Where’s Sonia?”
Connor raised his head. “You’re looking for her?”
“I want her to see what I look like now. I want her to know that I look like this all because of her,” Tina growled through gritted teeth.
Hearing that, he chuckled. “She’s inside. Go on.”
Without another word, Tina immediately headed toward the warehouse. Connor gave Xander another look, and he nodded before following her.
In the warehouse, Tina switched the lights on and instantly caught sight of the woman who was bound to a chair. The moment she saw the woman, her expression turned twisted, and the hatred in her eyes was like daggers.
She quickly strode over and slapped Sonia viciously across the face. The crisp sound reverberated through the warehouse exceptionally loudly, even causing an echo.
Sonia had already been stirring awake, and when she felt the burning sensation of pain on her face, she instantly opened her eyes and lifted her head.
Upon seeing the tightly bandaged and monstrous face before her, she jolted in shock and yelped. “Who are you?”
“Who am I?” Tina laughed heartily. “I’m the person who hates you the most and wants you dead!”
“What?!” Sonia was taken aback by her words.
There was only one person who hated her the most, enough to want her dead, and it was no other than…
“You’re Tina!”
She remembered now—when she and Mary were on their way to the old manor to celebrate Rose’s birthday, she had been taken away by Connor’s men. Right, Tina is on Connor’s side as well.
“That’s right, I’m Tina. I can’t believe you recognize me.” Upon hearing that Sonia recognized her immediately, Tina was a little taken aback, but she quickly recovered to her senses.
There was no harm if she knew; she couldn’t escape anyway. This time, she had to end this woman’s life.
Sonia didn’t reply to Tina and looked around her surroundings instead. Seeing that she had been tied up, she twisted her body urgently. “Where is this place?”
She didn’t tell them to let go of her as she was well aware that this was impossible. Hence, instead of telling them to free her, it was a better option to probe them and find out where she was so that she could see if there was a way to contact Toby.
“You don’t need to worry about where this is. Worry about what’s going to happen to you next instead.” Tina lifted Sonia’s chin, her eyes filled with malice.
Sonia attempted to shake her hand off, but Tina clenched her chin tightly, making it impossible for her to escape her grip. In fact, the more she struggled, the harder Tina pressed, even digging her nails into her chin and causing Sonia to whimper in pain, her face scrunching up in agony.
“Let go! What do you want?” Sonia shouted.
Tina looked at her face and barked, “What do I want? I want your life! But, before that, I’ll let you experience my pain tenfold. Do you see my face now?”
Sonia stared at her. “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” Tina let out a crazed laugh. “My face has been ruined, and I can’t fix it anymore. All of this is your fault!”
“You must be insane,” Sonia declared, losing her temper. “What does it have to do with me if your face is ruined? Did I do that?”
“That’s right, you did.” Suddenly, Tina roared, “If it weren’t for you, I would’ve already married Toby and become the young mistress of the Fuller Family! I won’t have to fake my death to make my escape either and even go through plastic surgery to change my appearance. Do you know how tormenting plastic surgery is?”
“You don’t know, do you? When I’m lying on my bed, unable to sleep because of the pain, I realized that everything I had been through was because of you. I will definitely never let you go. Now, my face has been ruined because of you too. Why are you the Gray Family’s daughter?!”
She wrapped her hands around Sonia’s throat and growled, “It’s because you’re the Gray Family’s biological daughter that I paid close attention to and approached them, or Connor wouldn’t have set his target on me either and ruined my face. In other words, my entire life has been ruined because of you. Why can’t you just drop dead already?”
“Why didn’t Henry just drown you to death back then? If you died, I wouldn’t have to go through any of this, I’ll still be the Gray Family’s daughter and the young mistress of the Fuller Family and my face wouldn’t be ruined either. It’s all because of you; you did this to me!”
Raving mad, Tina tightened her hands as if she wanted to end Sonia’s life right then and there.
