Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471 Zane’s Good News

“No.” Sonia shook her head lightly. “Do you think I’d get picked on so easily? The only reason Rina got me previously was because of luck, as I wasn’t prepared. Now that I’m aware, there’s no way that she can pull another dirty trick on me anymore.”

Upon knowing that Rina didn’t get physical with Sonia, Toby felt relieved. “That’s good to know.”

“President Fuller, did you contact me just to ask me about this?” Sonia blinked before asking, while Toby nodded. “I was worried that you might get taken advantage of.”

Somehow, Sonia felt happy about it as the corner of her red lips lifted unconsciously while her tone softened. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”

“Yeah,” Toby replied, after which was followed by silence, as none of them spoke.

Sonia realized it had been extremely awkward for the two of them ever since they fell from a cliff. She didn’t know how to put the present situation in words. Currently, she wasn’t as cold toward Toby as she was in the past, which changed the way they communicated. Perhaps this is why everything seems odd. Like, right now, I don’t know how to continue this conversation with him. What should I say? I can’t keep quiet like this forever.

In the past, Sonia would have already hung up without even saying anything, and she wouldn’t hesitate when throwing offensive comments at him, but it was different now. Sonia couldn’t do so any longer, seeing as he saved her and she owed it to him. She at least needed to say goodbye before hanging up.

At the thought of that, Sonia took a deep breath, tightened her grip on her phone, and said to the man, “President Fuller, I’m reaching soon, so I’ll hang up now.”

She didn’t know what to say to Toby, but she knew she couldn’t keep quiet forever, and the best way to resolve their awkwardness was to say goodbye and hang up.

Knowing that, Toby pursed his lips a little before he answered with a hoarse voice, “Alright.”

After the call ended, Sonia put her phone down and started zoning out as she looked outside of the window.

In no time, Sonia reached Bayside Residence. She took her luggage and entered her house after paying the cab fare. I should take a shower and rest…

However, the doorbell rang after she placed her luggage down.

“Who is it?” Sonia frowned before using the couch’s armrest as leverage to get up and headed toward the entrance to get the door.

In front of the door stood Zane, who had both his hands on his knees, as he gasped for air and looked as if he was completely exhausted.

Right then, Sonia stared at him in disbelief. “Did… Did you run up using the stairs?”

Zane’s mouth opened a little as he had his hand on his back and shook his head. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but nothing came out because he was too tired to speak. He was so anxious he even stomped his feet.

At this moment, Sonia felt like laughing before she patted him a little. “Alright, alright. You need to rest a little. Speak when you’ve calmed down.”

Staring at her, Zane nodded before he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. A while later, he finally calmed down, and his breath became less ragged. Standing up straight, Zane asked anxiously, “Sonia, are you alright?!”

“Huh?” Sonia tilted her head. “What do you mean? Why are you asking me this?”

“Well, I heard you fell down a cliff with Toby,” Zane said while scanning her up and down to see if she was injured.

Finally realizing what Zane was talking about, Sonia shook her head softly. “I’m fine, but how did you find out that I fell down a cliff with Toby?”

Charles and Tom had covered the incident about our fall so that gossip won’t spiral on the internet. I wonder how Zane found out?

“Alright. Let’s drop this topic. Why did you come over?” Sonia lifted her glass to take a sip, while Zane leaned back on the couch. “I just wanted to check up on you and make sure that you’re alright after I found out that you fell off a cliff.”

Although Toby told him that Sonia was fine, he was still worried because he hadn’t seen her, so he hung up after talking to Toby, who sounded gloomy, and came over to look for Sonia.

“I see.” Sonia nodded before she smiled softly. “Thanks for checking up on me. I’m doing fine.”

“Why would you even thank me for that?” Zane waved her off. Then, he thought of something and leaned forward before grinning mysteriously. “By the way, I have good news.”

“What kind of good news?” Sonia got interested and raised her eyebrows.

Narrowing his eyes a little, Zane said, “I’m heading over to Westsanshire for a meeting this time, and I heard that they’re preparing to investigate ten random companies in the nation.”

“What do you mean?” Sonia looked confused.

Inching forward to reduce the distance between them, Zane explained, “It means that the officials are preparing to investigate ten companies with poor reputations within the country. They want to use this as a warning for others and eliminate those shady enterprises.”

“I see.” Sonia had a look of realization on her face as she bit her lip.

Zane held two fingers up. “Well, there are two companies in Seafield that are targeted.”

Upon hearing that, Sonia felt her heart skip a beat. “Which two companies?” Paradigm Co. wouldn’t be one of them, right?

In the past months, Paradigm Co. had been under fire online because of the Gray Family feud, so their reputation was definitely bad.
