Chapter 814


    Chapter 814 Can’t Wait to Kill Her Off


    Zane couldn’t help but feel that Sonia was hoping to have turned him into a cripple from that stomp she


    gave him. “Seriously?” The corners of his mouth made a small twitch. “Were you trying to immobilize


    me?! No wonder you went so heavy with your attack! I thought you had underestimated your strength by


    ident, but it turns out you did it on purpose!” he eximed as he bewilderedly pointed at her.


    Sonia pouted and let out a huff. “It was your fault for trying toe between Toby and me. That was


    disrespectful, okay?”


    Despite not looking like it, Sonia was, in fact, a little angry when she had heard Zane say those words.


    He was trying to make Toby seem like the bad guy by using him of being an emotionally vtile and


    violent man.


    As Toby’s girlfriend, Sonia would naturally get defensive when Zane, someone whom Toby considered


    his friend, started ndering Toby.


    Also, what kind of woman did Zane think she was, for him to suggest that she break up with Toby to get


    together with him?


    Did he think of her as the kind of wanton woman who would get together with anyone whenever she


    wanted?


    Who wouldn’t be mad after listening to such insulting words?! she thought.


    Her stomp on his foot was a result of her identally losing her temper. It was his little punishment for


    saying anything he wanted without a care.


    As Zane looked at the icy expression on Sonia’s face, he quickly realized that he had said things that he


    shouldn’t have. “I… I was just kidding,” he muttered while rubbing his nose in guilt.


    “You can’t joke about things like this.” Sonia red at him.


    Feeling remorseful, Zane lowered his head and took a seat beside Sonia. “I got it. I won’t do it again. I


    really don’t want to end up bing a cripple,” he said as he pointed at his leg.


    Even though the surface of his leather shoe was shining brightly, Sonia could see the dusty shape of a


    shoe print on it. There was also a wrinkled spot in the otherwise smooth surface as the left and right


    shoes didn’t even look like they were a pair then.


    Sonia finally burst outughing when she couldn’t hold it in after seeing howical the shoes looked.


    “It is good that you know. Not everything can be made into a joke.”


    “Alright, alright. I won’t do it anymore,” Zane sighed as he waved her off. He then quickly cast his eyes


    down to hide the dejected look on his face. Even though he was only fooling around with her earlier, he


    did put his true feelings into the words that he seemed to have mindlessly sputtered.


    He really did intend to gauge how deep Sonia’s feelings for Toby were, which was why he mentioned to


    her about Toby’s bad temper and how Toby might even hurt women when he became violent. Zane


    wanted to see whether she would start having doubts about the man she had chosen after hearing his


    words.


    If she had shown the slightest bit of hesitation, or if she started to wonder whether Toby really would get


    physical with a woman, that would mean that her love for Toby hadn’t returned to what it was during


    those 6 years. In that case, their rtionship this time around would probably break off before long.


    And that, of course, would be his cue to take his chance.


    Zane knew how despicable it was for him to tarnish Toby’s name in order to raise himself, but humans


    were selfish beings after all. It wasn’t as though he had done anything other than smear some dirt over


    Toby’s name. Zane was only doing what he could when he had the opportunity to. He didn’t think that


    there was anything wrong with him fighting for the woman he liked.


    Furthermore, if her love for Toby didn’t run as deep as Zabe thought and he still stood a chance to win


    her heart, he might just have to get involved and do something to make them split up quickly. At least


    that way, they wouldn’t have to drag on a fruitless rtionship that would eventually end with both parties


    being deeply wounded.


    On the contrary, Zane wouldpletely back off on his own ord if they were already head over heels


    for one another.


    Despite his hopes, he had proved that Sonia had deep feelings for Toby. Not only did she trust him with


    all her heart, she also defended him when Zane had talked about him behind his back. She was the kind


    of lover and protector Zane was envious of Toby for having.


    Maybe it really is time to let her go, he thought as a bitter smile appeared on his face.


    Even though he had told Toby that he was going to give up on Sonia, a small part of him couldn’t do it.


    His unwillingness only worsened when he saw her again today, which was why he momentarily set aside


    what he had promised Toby before, and went ahead to take a shot at Sonia again.


    However, what Zane had received in return for his perseverance was, yet again, another rejection. It


    seemed like fate was not going to give him what he wanted. Toby you lucky dog, he sighed.


    For the same woman whom Toby hurt before to somehow end up falling for him again, Toby must have


    had some kind of otherworldly good luck that normal people did not possess.


    Sonia didn’t know what Zane was thinking about, after seeing how sincere he was when he apologized,


    her anger began to subside.


    It didn’t take long after she had calmed down that she was overtaken by feelings of guilt.


    It was her fault for hurting him even after he had put his all intopiling the list ofpatible donors


    she needed. She hadn’t even repaid him yet!


    As she thought about that, she gave Zane an embarrassed look and apologized, “I’m sorry about earlier.”


    “Hmm?” Zane took a second to catch what she was apologizing for, and he quickly waved her off with a


    smile. “Don’t worry about it! It was my fault for saying something I shouldn’t have. It is understandable


    why you reacted the way you did. You don’t have to apologize.”


    Sonia tucked her hair behind her ear as she listened to Zane’s words. “Regardless of that, I did step on


    your foot. Are you hurt? If you are—”


    “Nope,” he interrupted with the shake of his head before she could continue saying the words he knew


    she was about to say. “It will probably bruise a little, but it won’t affect my gait. I’ll be okay in a few days,


    so stop feeling guilty over nothing!”


    “But—” Sonia, with a frown on her face, was about to say something again when Zane pointed at the


    crowd that was gradually spilling into the courtroom. “We’ll talkter. It is about to begin,” he said in a


    hushed voice.


    Sonia turned to look at the entrance and she immediately swallowed her words down her throat when


    she saw the rted personnel entering the room. Her own expression soon became stern.


    It didn’t take long after the court hearing began for Jessica to be escorted by a bailiff into the room.


    She was dressed in a yellow prison uniform from neck to toe. Sonia also noticed how both Jessica’s


    hands and legs had been bound by cuffs.


    Her hair that had been cut short partially covered her downcast head, and even though her expression


    didn’t show much of how she was feeling, anyone could see how disheartened she was from her body


    language.


    Her wrists that peeked from her sleeves were so scrawny that it was obvious how much weight she had


    lost during her stay in the detention cell—something she had not been coping well with. The uniform she


    had on looked extremely baggy on her torso.


    For their father’s sake, Sonia would probably have feltpassion for the pitiful Jessica in front of her if


    she was her biological sister, or if she had never poisoned their father.

    However, despite how pathetic Jessica looked, she was not worthy of Sonia’s pity. She was undoubtedly


    the sinner who had caused their father’s death.


    And so, Sonia only took a short nce at her before turning away.


    Unbeknownst to Sonia, the moment she had looked away, Jessica suddenly lifted her head and stared


    directly at Sonia. The hatred in her eyes was so raw that even her face seemed twisted as she red at


    her sister.


    She probably would have charged at Sonia and ripped her throat out with her bare hands, if not for the


    bailiff beside her and the locked cuffs on her limbs.


    The female bailiff escorting Jessica didn’t miss her gaze at Sonia. Her eyebrows crinkled and she coldly


    barked amand. “Stop looking around and keep walking!”


    The bailiff’s ring voice seemed to have reminded Jessica that they were in court, as she quickly


    shrank in fear and lowered her head. She was back to being the cowering, timid Jessica who entered the


    courtroom a moment ago.


    “Jessica was ring at you,” Zane suddenly whispered to Sonia as his gaze rested on Jessica, who was


    standing behind the defendant’s table.


    “I know,” Sonia replied in an equally hushed voice, but her eyes were looking ahead. “I can feel it. I bet


    she can’t wait to kill me off.”


    Zane let out a soft ‘tsk’ at that. “What an interesting woman. She was the one who came for your neck,


    but how is she the one looking daggers at you like you owed her something after she lost? Did she think


    you would just take it lying down?”


    The corner of Sonia’s red lips curled into a snarl. “That is the kind of person she is. Nothing weird about


    that.”


    “To be honest, there is something that I really don’t understand,” Zane suddenly eximed, in which


    Sonia turned to look at him and ask, “What don’t you understand?”
