This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698 A Warning to Jean

Sonia implied that Jean would still retaliate against her despite her verbal promise to leave her alone. In fact, Sonia was right about Jean, as she was indeed not going to let it slide like that. After all, her strong grudge and ego wouldn’t allow her to swallow the humiliation that Sonia brought upon her.

Nonetheless, Sonia, who knew Jean well, directly pointed out what was on her mind in front of Rose, catching her off guard and forcing her to give up the idea of retaliation.

Upon hearing Sonia’s words, Rose glared at Jean with a cold and sinister gaze. “I doubt she dares to do that, but if she ever has the guts to mess with you, you must let me know.”

“Thank you, Grandma.” Sonia seized Rose’s arm, resting her head on the old lady’s shoulder with a smile. “Thanks for backing me up, Grandma.”

“Don’t mention it, girl. We are a family, and you’re Toby’s future wife. If I wouldn’t help you, who would?” Rose gently caressed Sonia’s hair as the latter responded with an affirmative hum.

Meanwhile, Jean was fuming at the sight of their warm interaction that she had to take a few moments to calm herself down. Then, she decided to excuse herself and make a move. “It’s getting late, Mom. I came here to see how well you’ve recovered, but since you’re fine, I guess I should probably get going. After all, I still need to get back to the Fullers’ Residence to do some cleaning before Tyler returns in a few days.”

Fearing that Sonia would abet Rose in giving her a hard time, Jean decided not to stick around anymore. At that moment, she began to understand that everyone in the Fuller Family was on Sonia’s side while she was on her own.

I’m just one woman, and how can I hope to fight so many of them? I’m going to find a chance to make Sonia pay when she marries into the family later. I spent six years keeping her under my thumb, so I could do it again. At the thought, Jean lightened up just when the irritated look on her face disappeared.

“Alright, please go. I don’t want to see you any longer either.” Rose impatiently waved her hand.

Jean was rendered speechless, nearly biting her own tongue when she heard Rose’s reply. That is mean! I’m her daughter-in-law too, so what have I done to deserve such a harsh attitude from this old lady?! Was it because I was a mistress? But I thought she knew I was a different mistress from the others, so why does she hate me so much?

Unlike her nonchalance when interacting with Jean, Rose’s loving attitude to Sonia created a huge contrast that stabbed Jean’s heart like a blade. A few moments later, she closed her eyes, thinking she had seen enough, so she grabbed her purse and left.

Sonia kept her eyes on Jean’s back as she walked away with a gleeful expression that flashed across her face. Soon, she stood up beside the bed and said, “Grandma, let me see Mrs. Fuller off.”

“Why would you want to do that?” Rose furrowed her eyebrows and asked.

Sonia smiled and replied, “Well, she is still Toby’s stepmother who raised him up, whether I like it or not, and that is something I can never deny. So, I’ll be right back.” Sonia went after Jean as soon as she finished her sentence. Soon, she managed to catch up with Jean not far from the ward’s door. “Mrs. Fuller.”

Jean stopped in her tracks and turned around, letting loose of the anger she had been bottling up in the ward while glaring at her like a madwoman. “What’s wrong? Did you come out here to gloat?”

“For what?” Sonia walked up to her.
