This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 739

Chapter 739 Cousin

“Sandstone?” Sonia blinked and looked at Toby. “Oh, I get it. You said that the Herrais family exists, but they don’t use that name. So your mother comes from the Sandstones, right?”

“Smart,” Toby praised.

Sonia looked embarrassed. “You’ve made it obvious, so if I can’t even guess that, I’m… That’s not important.” She waved her hand. “But there are a lot of families in the nation with the same last name. Which family did your grandfather come from?”

“The one in Westsanshire,” Toby answered.

“Westsanshire…” Sonia thought about it, then her eyes widened as realization struck her. “The one who’s friends with the Salzburgs?”

“Yes.” Toby nodded.

That was why his mother used to date Connor.

“I see. So the Sandstone Family is your mother’s family, huh?”

“Yes. Even though they’re the Sandstones, the lynchpin is actually a Herrias, so the guys in Westsanshire call them the Herrias Family,” Toby explained.

Sonia nodded. “I see. Since they’re in Westsanshire, I didn’t know the Sandstone Family was the Herrias Family, but I’ve heard rumors about your company being at odds with Sandstone Group. Is that true?”

“That is true,” he told her honestly, and he squinted.

The news shocked Sonia. “Wow, that’s real? I thought that’s your mother’s family. So why are they at odds with the Fullers?”

“Because the one in charge isn’t my grandfather.” He patted her head gently, but there was only an icy chill in his eyes.

Sonia could see that he was in a bad mood.

“My great grandfather had two sons. His eldest son was my grandfather. He inherited the family business, but he only sired one daughter, that was my mother. After they passed away, I was supposed to take over, but halfway through the succession, my grandfather’s brother showed up and took away the rest,” Toby said coldly. “My grandfather just passed away back then. I wanted him to rest in peace and keep things under control, so I didn’t fight them. I let them take the inheritance away.”

“Aren’t you mad about that?” Sonia looked at him.

Toby chuckled. “No. What they took was just something that’ll be obsolete in the near future. It just looked valuable back then. I think you’ve heard about their financials being in hot soup now, right?”

“Of course.” Sonia adjusted her position. “I read finance news a lot. Last week, I saw an analysis on their company’s situation. The news said they’re working on a sunset industry, and they’ll be booted out of the business world if they don’t change soon. I actually thought it was sad that an old company was going to be bankrupt. I thought they should go with the flow instead of stubbornly insisting on the old ways. Now that I know they’re actually robbers, I don’t feel sorry anymore.”

She could see that Toby hated the Sandstones, so she wasn’t afraid he would be upset if she said that. And as expected, Toby wasn’t upset at all. In fact, he smiled.

“You’re right. There’s no point pitying them now. They thought they got something good, but it’s really something I don’t care about. Even if they didn’t take it, I would have given them half of the inheritance and worked with them too. Before he died, my grandfather said he owed his brother a lot, so I would have given them half of the inheritance anyway, but…” Toby squinted.

Sonia looked at him sadly. “But they let you down.”
