Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385 The Complexity of Men

Toby was right.

Sonia took the call. “What is it, Charles?”

“The portrait’s done, babe,” Charles said solemnly.

Sonia sat up straighter. “Really? Who’s the culprit?” She couldn’t see, so there was no point in sending her the portrait. Besides, she knew Charles must have looked into the culprit’s identity the moment the portrait was done, so it was easier asking him for the answer.

“You know her too. It’s Rina, the Grays’ daughter,” Charles answered more somberly than ever.

Sonia’s eyes widened. “Impossible!” she answered reflexively. Taylor? That’s impossible! That’s the spy Zane and I hired!

“Why? Do you know her, babe?” Charles frowned in suspicion.

Sonia answered, “Yes. I’m sorry for keeping this a secret, but Rina isn’t the Grays’ daughter. She’s a woman called Taylor. She’s a spy Zane and I hired to keep an eye on the Grays.”

“What?” Charles raised his voice. “You kept this thing a secret from me? That’s huge!”

“Sorry, Charles.” Sonia stared at the ground, embarrassed. She didn’t divulge it to Charles because she didn’t see the need to. After all, this was a grudge between her, the Colemans, and the Grays. It had nothing to do with the Lanes, so she didn’t want to drag them into this. Besides, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. That would keep the chances of exposing Taylor to a minimum.

After Sonia apologized, Charles calmed down and thought about the reasons she kept it a secret. He could understand her stance, but it still made him uneasy, since he felt alienated. In the end, he pursed his lips. “Forget it. I can understand why you kept this a secret, but babe, the culprit really is R… I mean Taylor. I let Alice see the portrait. She didn’t admit it, but her expression told me everything I needed to know. Your spy betrayed you.”

Sonia gripped her phone tightly, apparently still in shock. “Impossible…”

“Not impossible. Let me guess. She comes from a poor, misogynistic family, doesn’t she?” Charles asked.

“Yes.”

“Of course she’d betray you.” Charles sighed. “You and Zane overlooked something important—human greed. Think about it. You hired someone who grew up poor to act as a rich family’s daughter. Once she has a taste of that kind of wealth, there’s no way she can stay loyal to you.”

“That’s…” Sonia didn’t want to believe it, but Charles was right. Taylor had a taste of unimaginable wealth, and she didn’t want to let it go. However, that wouldn’t be easy, since there were two people who would get in her way. Me and Zane. That reason was enough for Taylor to turn her back on them.

Ah, so that’s why Alice said I’m a threat to the culprit. After all, I can expose her true identity, and that’s a big threat. No wonder she attacked me, but why did she want to get rid of my birthmark? What does this have to do with her? That’s still a mystery. Sonia pursed her lips.

Charles continued, “I had no idea Taylor was your spy. I thought she was really Rina and she attacked you to avenge Tina, but it turns out she only did it so she can stay as Rina forever. We must get her, babe.”

“I know.” Sonia stared at the ground. I’ve been far too kind, and far too naive. She thought Taylor was weak and could be easily controlled, but she never thought Taylor was just putting on an act. To make things worse, she had fooled Sonia and Zane, and now she had become a threat.

Sonia touched her bandage and blinked, her eyes glinting with murder. We can’t undo our decision, but we can cut our losses. Taylor must go. “Charles, keep an eye on her, and don’t let her know we found out she’s the culprit. I’ll handle it once I get back,” Sonia said coldly.
