Chapter 1109 Old Memories
She really was afraid of Tina. Although she was no saint herself, she still could not bring herself to take a life. Yet, she found that Tina could do it effortlessly, seeing that she could kill her boyfriend of three years. Therefore, one could see how terrifying this woman was.
Not only that, Lynette almost died in her hands the last time she went to find Tina. She figured that if not for the relationship she had with Toby, Tina would have killed her back then. If that had been the case, it would have prompted Harry to have Toby investigate her death. Otherwise, Lynette might have really died in her hands.
All in all, she was absolutely terrified of Tina since then. Thus, she could only escape abroad while still harboring the feelings she had for Toby, all because she could not win against Tina.
However, she did not think that the universe was on her side until she heard that Tina had fallen into a vegetative state after getting into an accident not long after Lynette settled down abroad. Back then, she laughed for a good ten minutes when she heard the news; she even celebrated this fact at a bar the same night.
Since Tina was now in a vegetative state, this meant that there was nothing to fear, so she did not have to stay abroad any longer. She could return anytime and continue to be around Toby, in hopes that he would fall for her.
Yet, before Lynette could return, she heard that there was another woman called Sonia, who blackmailed Toby into marrying her as gratitude for saving Tina from the accident. The most absurd thing is that Toby actually agreed!
When she came to know this, she was so utterly furious that she bought the flight tickets straight away, intending to return.
However, the moment she arrived at the airport, her grandfather called her and stated that the genius doctor, Tim, had gone abroad to further study on neurosurgery and psychiatry in hopes of saving Tina.
Tim was a world-renowned doctor. Although he was still young, his surgery success rate was a hundred percent as he had never failed an operation so far.
Old Master Fuller also informed her that before Tim went abroad, he had people check up on Tina’s condition. After the check-up, he was confident that there was a seventy percent chance of waking Tina up upon the completion of his studies.
This meant that Tina was destined to be healed. During this whole time where Tina was still in a vegetative state, Toby had people move her to a place nobody knew of in order to protect her.
At that moment, Lynette was livid and jealous.
Does Toby really love her this much? Even when she’s in a vegetative state now, he still wishes to protect her from any possible harm.
Also, that genius doctor, Tim. He would actually further his studies just to rescue Tina.
It was as if Tina was the daughter of some God.
Knowing that Tina would eventually wake up, Lynette—albeit reluctantly—could only give up returning home. Eventually, she tore the flight ticket and left the airport.
Although she did not manage to get rid of Sonia who was then married to Toby, she was not in a hurry, for she thought that Sonia would be finished the moment Tina woke up.
As expected, Tina woke up after six years. The instant she woke up, Toby divorced Sonia for Tina.
Hearing this, Lynette found herself happy and troubled at the same time.
The happy thing was that the woman who threatened Toby was finally gone. The troublesome thing was that even though Sonia was gone, Tina was a headache in comparison because she was a nightmare to deal with.
Tina struck fear in Lynette so much that she even wanted to give up on pursuing Toby, for she did not have confidence in winning against such a fearsome woman.
Unexpectedly, Tina and Sonia started to fight just as she was contemplating this.
Her grandfather had been helping her to keep an eye on the two women. She then knew that Tina could not accept the fact that Sonia was married to Toby when she was in her vegetative state, so she repeatedly tried to harm Sonia to her demise.
Catching wind of this made her overjoyed as she could not wait for the women to start fighting amongst themselves.
Although she did not think that Sonia would be able to win against Tina, Lynette knew that Sonia was not a simple woman, judging by how she could threaten Toby into marrying her. She thought that even if Sonia lost against Tina, she would still be able to hurt her somehow.
Then, she might win if she struck right after Sonia defeated her.
Therefore, Lynette had the thought of remaining as a bystander while she held her hand and observed the two women.
The reality was that Sonia was not an easy opponent either, for she could actually survive going against Tina. She even managed to retaliate, which inspired confidence in Lynette, who thought that Sonia might even win.
As expected, the women fought fiercely. Their ploys were all aimed at each other’s life. Though it was only Tina who wanted to kill Sonia with Sonia defending or retaliating, this proved that Sonia had some capability to be able to survive against Tina. In the end, she really did win against Tina and successfully made Toby feel disgust toward her. Canceling the engagement, Toby even managed to find out evidence that Tina was not the real daughter of the Grays, resulting in her expulsion from the family.
Tina, who was completely defeated, not only lost Toby, but she also lost her status as a Gray and became a loner. In the end, she was convicted of her crimes and went insane in prison. Transferred to an asylum, she committed suicide in the end. What a happy ending.
Yet, just as she was feeling joyful of this, Lynette also had chills running down her back. It was because of Sonia.
If Sonia could even dominate such a terrifying opponent like Tina and corner her to commit suicide, how scary is she actually?
If she could threaten Toby into marrying her, she might be able to coerce him into reconciliation since Tina is not an obstacle now.
Once again, she was proven correct because not long after Tina’s death, she heard from her grandfather that it was Toby who was courting Sonia. He wanted to get back together with Sonia.
That’s impossible!
Although Toby did not love Tina in the end, he would never fall in love with Sonia.
Otherwise, he would have fallen for her the six years they had been married and not after their divorce!
Perhaps, there’s something nobody knows as to why Toby would court Sonia.
Or, she might have threatened Toby again, forcing him to have no choice but to agree to the reconciliation.
Or, she might even want him to court her due to the six years of cold shoulder he gave her. What a shameless hussy.
Only she knew how much she wanted to go back and help Toby chase away Sonia so that he would not have to live under her oppression.
Yet, this woman gave her pressure that surmounted that of Tina’s, causing her to retreat from causing any conflict.
Thus, Lynette decided to hold it in and observe the situation from abroad since Harry and Grayson also supported her, advising her to not be rash.
Due to the time spent abroad, she grew innately frustrated, especially when she saw articles about what Toby and Sonia were up to. The affection they displayed for each other publicly made her green with envy.
The more she read about it, the more jealous she became. In the end, the feeling of envy forced her hand.
This was the first time she struck, and it was also a testrun for her.
Since she had never gone up against Sonia, she could not gauge how difficult her opponent would be until they were in the battlefield.
