Chapter 226
“Why would I ask Toby toe over to my ce, then?” Sonia swung the feather duster around
while she questioned Jean in a calm voice.

Jean stuck her hands on her waist. “Why else? You’re obviously still hung up on Toby.’
Her words thoroughly amused Sonia. “If that’s the case, and hees over because I want him to,
that just shows that he isn’t over me either, right?” Sonia asked.
“What a load of nonsense! Do you think he isn’t over you? Stop dreaming! He never loved you to
begin with.” Jean held her head up arrogantly, her nostrils pointing toward Sonia’s face as she
spoke.
Sonia shifted her gaze away annoyedly. “If that’s true, then do you think I could have convinced him
toe over?”
“Well...” Jean cleared her throat as she fell silent. Soon enough, she stuck her chest out and replied
in a firm voice once more. “You used some sneaky tricks to get Toby toe over, didn’t you?”
“Hah. You’re not even making sense.” Sonia narrowed her eyes to form a threatening re. “Listen
up, Jean. If you continue talking nonsense, I’ll actually shove my toilet plunger against your mouth.”
“H-How dare you!” Jean widened her eyes.
“You think I’d be afraid to do it?” Sonia scoffed. She swung her feather duster around, and Jean
instinctively took a step backward. However, her movements had been too rushed, and her left heel
identally stepped on her own right toes, so she lost her bnce and fell on her bottom. Her
facial features were squeezed together in agony as she let out wails and cries on the ground.
“Mom!” Tyler, who had been silent earlier, rushed over to help his mother up. Jean massaged her
own bottom as she got to her feet.
“You deserve it!” Sonia uttered bluntly.
“You—" Jean started.
“What? You came here just to use me of causing Toby’s car ident. I’m already being nice to
you right now.” Sonia shot the other woman a cold re. “I want you to leave now, or else I’ll cause
even more trouble for you!”
“I’d like to see the sort of troubles you can cause me!” Sonia’s words didn’t threaten Jean at allJean
even pushed Tyler aside to stand right in the middle of Sonia’s front door. “I won’t leave until you
give me an exnation for Toby’s ident!”
“Mom...” Tyler pressed a palm against his forehead in embarrassment. “Stop this.”
“Don’t meddle with my business.” Jean stared at him in a displeased manner.
Sonia was annoyed, but she couldn’t do much except chuckle. “Fine. You don’t want to leave, right?
Don’t regret your decision.” She turned around and walked into her house after that.
Tyler had a feeling that something was wrong, so he raised his voice to question the owner of the
house. “What are you going to do, Sonia?”
Sonia ignored him and headed straight for the bathroom, where she filled up a bucket of water
before bringing it back to the front door and
sshing it all over Jean.
Jean hadn’t expected Sonia to do such a thing, and her expression darkened the moment she
realized what was going on. She didn’t have the time to dodge the water, and her entire figure was
soaking wet within a matter of seconds.
When she rubbed her hand over her face and saw the random color stains mixed with water, she
knew that her makeup was totally ruined. “Ahhhh!” She let out a cry as she couldn’t stand it any
longer.
Tyler had intended to show her some concern, but he got rid of that idea and held his head low
instead. Gosh! How embarrassing. I never want to admit that this crazy-looking woman is actually
my mother.
Meanwhile, Sonia tugged her lips into a satisfied smirk when she saw the pathetic-looking Jean
before her eyes. “I told you that I’d only cause more trouble if you didn’t leave!”
Jean pulled her hand away from her face to reveal her hideous face covered in dark spots. “Just
you wait! This isn’t over yet! I’m not going to let you go so easily!” she hissed as she red at
Sonia. Once she finished her sentence, she turned around and stormed toward the elevators.
Tyler gazed at his mother before looking at Sonia. He parted his lips as if he were about to say
something, but Sonia couldn’t be bothered to talk to him anymore. She shut the door in his face.
Tyler was disappointed—he had no choice but to swallow his words and chase after Jean. He
figured that he could get back to his basketball team once he was doneforting Jean.
Once Sonia returned to her own living room, she ced the bucket of water on her coffee table
before picking her phone up and giving Rose a call. Sonia didn’t care about Toby’s condition— Rose
was the only person she was worried about. Between Toby and Tyler, Rose was more fond of Toby,
so she would certainly be shocked to hear that Toby had an ident.
Soon enough, the call went through, and Rose’s weak voice sounded on the line. “Sonia. Do you
miss me already?”
“Yeah. Of course.” Sonia’s facial muscles rxed as she spoke to the olddy in a gentle tone.
“Are you okay, Grandma?”
Rose knew what she meant, and a kind smile spread across her face after she heard Sonia’s
question. “I’m fine.”
“But your voice... You sound really weak...”
Sonia was still a little concerned.
Rose nced at her grandson, who hadn’t woken up since the ident. “Don’t worry, Sonia. I just
didn’t get enough rest. It’s no big deal.” How could she sleep when Toby got into such a huge
ident? Rose had spent the entire night by his side—she didn’t get a wink of sleep.
“I see,” Sonia muttered. She finally began to calm down once she decided that the olddy wasn’t
lying to her. “I understand that President Fuller got into an ident and you’re worried about him,
but you still need to get some rest. You’re old; you need to take care of your health,” Sonia advised.
Rose chuckled before she replied, “Okay, okay. I got it. I’ll get some rest once Toby wakes up; how
does that sound?”
He hasn t woken up yet?” Sonia raised an eyebrow. The ident had happened at about 11.00PM
the night before, and he hadn’t woken up even after nine hours. It seems like he’s quite badly
injured, Sonia thought.
Rose shook her head. “No. The doctor said that he hurt his internal organs and his brain, so he’s
not going to wake up so soon. By the way, would you like to pay Toby a visit, Sonia?”
“It’s fine, Grandma.” Sonia lowered her gaze as she rejected Rose’s suggestion with a smile.
“We’ve gotten a divorce, so I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to go.”
“Okay, then,” Rose said with a dejected sigh.
After that, they chit-chatted on the phone for a while more before ending the call. By the time she
got ready and left the house, it was nearly 9.00AM. As Sonia drove out of the parking lot and
passed by the road where the ident urred, she slowed the car down a little to nce out the
window. The spot of the car crash had been cleaned up—it was almost as if nothing had happened
there. Now that I think about it, I still don’t know why Toby ended up getting into an ident here.
Well, it’s none of my business, is it? Sonia smiled as she put on her shades and continued driving.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Rose was sitting beside Toby’s bed. She used a ss of water and
some cotton swabs to dab water onto Toby’s dry lips. All of a sudden, she heard someone knocking
on the door. “Come in,” she answered without looking up.
The door opened to reveal Tina with a bouquet of lilies. Tina looked shocked to see Rose in the
room, and her tone grew timid as she spoke. “You’re here too, Old Mrs. Fuller.”
Rose knitted her brows in distaste. She couldn’t stand Tina’s weak and obedient demeanor—it
made her seem like she was the victim who was bullied all the time. Someone like Tina was nothing
inparison to Sonia.
I don’t even understand what Toby likes about Tina. Rose shot Toby a sideways re before she
replied to Tina, “Where else could I be when my grandson got into such a huge ident?”
“No, no. That’s not what I meant. I’m just surprised that you woulde here to care for Toby
instead of getting some rest at home.
You’re getting old, after all.” Tina suppressed the anger within her as she exined herself. I
would’vee a littleter if I knew that she was here. She never treats me with respect at all!
Once I be Toby’s wife, I’m going to torture this olddy so much. She’s going to regret treating
me this way.
Rose lowered the ss of water onto the table. “Are those flowers for Toby?” she asked.
Tina nodded as she nced at the flowers in her hand. “Yeah. I didn’t know what flowers Toby likes,
so I decided to buy lilies after giving it some thought.”
“Hold on. Did you just say that you don’t know what flowers Toby likes?” Rose narrowed her eyes
abruptly.
