This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 116

I didn’t know that Tina would be so shameless as to pretend to faint.

“President Fuller, I believe she will wake up soon,” Sonia uttered coldly while resting her arms on her chest.

Now that she was still in Toby’s arms, Tina could not help but exert more pressure on her hand that hung in the air. What does she mean by that? Could she have noticed that I am faking it?

Toby seemed to have understood what Sonia was implying, for he lowered his eyes and gazed at Tina for a while.

After failing to detect any oddity, he looked up at Sonia. “What do you think I should do?”

She smiled. “It’s simple—just release her. If she has really fainted, she’d definitely react when she lands on the ground. Why don’t you try it out on her?”

Upon hearing that, Tina’s heart pumped even harder. How could Sonia force me to wake up with that horrible suggestion? She’s cruel and malicious!

Toby frowned at the suggestion and replied, “What kind of idea is that? Have you ever considered that Tina would be injured if I let go of her while she is unconscious?”

Tina let out a relieved sigh. Great, looks like he won’t listen to Sonia.

Sonia’s gaze swept across Tina’s forehead, where Tina’s worried wrinkles were smoothened after being ‘saved’ by Toby. A smirking Sonia added, “If you don’t have the heart to test it out, why don’t we use another method?”

“What is it?” he questioned and Tina, who was in his arms, perked up too.

“You will know soon.” Sonia flashed a mischievous grin and tapped on her phone screen before approaching them.

The sound of Sonia’s footsteps had caused Tina to panic. Sonia, what are you cooking up this time?

No matter what would happen next, Tina was determined to endure it to prevent from exposing herself.

Sonia walked up to Tina and under Toby’s watchful gaze, she placed her phone by Tina’s ear, after which she tapped the ‘play’ button on the screen.

Bang!

A loud sound exploded from the speakers, causing Toby to tense up from the shock. He was close to releasing his grip on Tina and causing her to land on the ground.

Thankfully, he was acutely aware of the fact that he was holding someone, which allowed him to avert the crisis.

Much to Sonia’s great surprise, even though he was frightened by the loud sound, Tina didn’t move whatsoever in his arms with her eyes closed, as though she had really fainted.

Her lack of reaction caused Sonia to frown. An average person who pretends to faint would definitely jump when he or she hears the loud sound.

Despite what had just happened, Tina had suppressed her natural reaction, which required a lot of effort on her part.

Sonia could only accept her defeat in the face of Tina’s sheer persistence. “I apologize, President Fuller. Looks like I have made a wrong guess. Miss Gray seems to have fainted for real.” She kept her phone away and smiled.

If Tina would not wake up after being frightened by the obstreperous sound, Sonia figured that it was useless to insist on proving Tina wrong. Any attempt to do so would only amplify her own insensibility.

If she wanted to lodge a police report on Tina, she could do that anytime because she had the recording in her hands.

When Tina heard that Sonia had thrown in the towel, she silently let out a huge sigh of relief. It appears that Sonia will not try to expose me anymore.

Anyway, Tina made note of Sonia’s prank on her, determined to exact revenge by inflicting double the torture next time.

“I will call you when Tina wakes up.” Toby gave Sonia a deep look as he said those words. He did not blame Sonia for delaying Tina’s treatment because he subconsciously felt that Tina could be faking her situation as well..

Alas, he seemed to have misunderstood Tina.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt guilty toward Tina as he gazed at her.

“Alright. I shall wait for your call,” Sonia answered with a smile.
