This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 Kowtow

Knowing that this was the personal matters involving the Reeds Family, Sonia did not hope for Toby to be a part of it as she wanted to resolve it herself.

Hence, he respected her wishes and was willing to wait for her here.

She smiled at him before turning around to walk with Daphne to her father’s grave.

Jessica was kneeling in front of the grave. Since she did not have an umbrella, her body was completely drenched from the rain, which made her look like a mess as her hair and clothes stuck to her skin.

Of course, the cruel, savage expression on her face made her look worse.

“So-nia!” she said through gritted teeth when she saw Sonia walking toward her. Then, she exerted some force on the ground to try to stand up.

However, as soon as her knees left the ground, the two bodyguards immediately pressed on her shoulders to force her down.

With a loud thud, Jessica’s knees slammed into the ground once again, making her yelp in agony. “Let me go! I’m the vice president of Paradigm Co.. If you dare to treat me this way, I’ll fire you! You better believe me!”

With that, she turned around and fiercely glared at the bodyguards behind her.

Both of them shot fearful glances at Sonia, who waved and looked at them calmly.

Then, she turned her gaze to Jessica before speaking in a cold voice, “You can’t even fire them. First of all, you only have the title of being a vice president. Even though you have the right to fire them, as long as I, the chairman, defend them, you won’t stand a chance at all.”

“You…” Jessica glared at Sonia before she smiled sarcastically. “Fine, Sonia. I admit that you are a step ahead of me and that I’ve lost. How ruthless you are!”

Sonia merely looked at her icily, but she had no intention to continue with the topic. In the same tone, she asked, “Do you know why I brought you here?”

Jessica chuckled coldly. “Who the hell knows what has gotten into you?”

Sonia’s face darkened. “I thought by asking them to detain you here, you would at least look at the grave in front of you. Unexpectedly, you didn’t even glance at it even though you’ve been kneeling for so long!”

She felt truly for her father.

Jessica rolled her eyes upon hearing Sonia’s words. “Are you out of your mind? The reason for you bringing me here to this creepy place is just to ask me to look at the grave in front of me? Hah! How ludicrous! Why would I want to see something like this?”

“Something like this?!” Sonia was now truly triggered. Clenching her fists tightly, she glared at Jessica with reddened eyes she howled angrily, “Is Dad’s grave just an insignificant thing to you?”

“Dad’s grave?” Jessica’s eyes narrowed before she suddenly jerked her head toward the grave in front of her. When she saw the inscription—Rest in Peace, Henry Reed—on the tombstone, her expression suddenly became more conflicted. She looked guilty, flustered, and fearful, but contrary to what Sonia hoped, there was not a tinge of remorse or sadness on her face.

“Jessica, you are really heartless. Your biological father is buried right in front of you, yet you aren’t sad at all. In fact, your apathy and callousness is rather terrifying.” Sonia looked at Jessica as though she was a monster.

Of course Jessica understood what was being implied. Her gaze wavered slightly before she retaliated loudly, “Callous? Me? That’s because he deserves it!”

Staring fixedly at the grave in front of her, she continued, “We are both his daughters, but he has treated me so harshly and you so lovingly. What did I do to deserve that? I just feel that it’s incredibly unfair! Since he, as a father, was biased toward his kids, he had no right to blame me for not treating him as a father!”

“Sure enough, your thoughts have remained unchanged.” Sonia looked at her in pain. “I have already told you before that he had treated us both the same. However, since you were rebellious and took the wrong path in life, he treated you more harshly in the hopes of making you a better person. However, you have really misunderstood his intentions. I really feel sorry for him.”
