This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 352
This discovery sent jitters all over Rina. She had no idea why Sonia would turn out to be the realRina Gray, and she had less clue about the feud between the latter and the Grays. Nevertheless, she knew that there would be no room for a fake Rina like her to exist once Sonia’s real identity was exposed.
Sonia only hired me to pose as Rina Gray because she didn‘t know that she was the real Rina Gray herself, but once she finds out about it, she might not let me continue with the pretense anymore, she thought. If I were her, I wouldn‘t allow someone else to pose as myself. Nobody would like someone else to be posing as themself.
Once Sonia found out that she herself was Rina Gray, she would return to the Grays without a doubt, and even though she had a feud with them, all of it would disappear in the eyes of blood relation regardless of how deep the feud was before. Then, when the Grays acknowledged Sonia as their daughter, Rina would have to return home and go back to her dark, hopeless life.
No, I‘m not going back to that life! I finally walked out of that suffocating family and managed to have this wealthy life now. There‘s no way that I‘m going back! Rina thought, and the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Her body started trembling like a leaf in the wind, with the blood all drained from her face.
Looking at her curiously, Sonia asked, “What’s wrong?”
Rina’s eyes kept flashing as she stammered, “I–I‘m fine. It‘s just that I suddenly feel a little unwell.”
“Unwell? Did you fall sick?” Sonia asked in concern.
Beneath the table, Rina‘s hands balled up tightly, but she forced a smile on her face. “Yeah, I just have a stomachache all of a sudden.”
“I see. I‘ll take you to a doctor‘s, then” Sonia offered without a single shred of suspicion for Rina‘s words because she really looked unwell.
However, Rina appeared terrified and shook her hands frantically. “T–That‘s not necessary, Miss Reed. I can manage it myself. Also, my driver is waiting for me outside, and I can just ask him to send me to a doctor‘s,” she said while pointing outside.
Hearing that, Sonia turned around and saw a luxury car waiting outside through the class window, whereupon she nodded with a smile. “Alright. Go quickly, then.”
“Okay, I‘m leaving now, Miss Reed. Let me know if you need anything in the future.” After bowing lightly to Sonia, Rina then started walking toward the door, but she had just taken a couple of steps when she suddenly held her head while her body swayed, as though she was about to pass out.
Seeing that, Sonia sprang up hurriedly. “Are you okay?”
“… I feel a little dizzy…” Rina answered meekly, and in the next second, she fell toward Sonia without any warning.
“Hey!” Sonia cried out in surprise and rushed forward to catch her.
In the end, Rina leaned against her shoulder, and in a corner where Sonia‘s eyes couldn‘t see, a grim look flashed across her eyes, but it disappeared very quickly. After that, she placed her hand on Sonia‘s shoulder and moved it near her hair a little before stopping abruptly.
All these were done behind Sonia‘s back, so she didn‘t see anything at all.
On the other hand, Sonia patted Rina‘s face anxiously. “Rina, don‘t pass out! Hang in there. I‘m getting
your driver here!”
“That’s okay, Miss Reed.” Lifting her head, Rina forced out a meek smile on her ashened face. “I’m fine now. Thanks for catching me, or I would have fallen on the floor.”
“You‘re fine?” With her brows knotted tightly together, Sonia added, “But you don‘t look fine.”
“I‘m fine, really. It‘s my gastric acting up again. Plus, I have low blood sugar; that‘s why I almost fainted. You know how my life used to be, Miss Reed. It‘s not surprising that I have these issues. I‘ll be fine after resting a while,” Rina said.
However, Sonia was still worried as she asked again, “Are you really fine?”
“It‘s true. You can let me go, Miss Reed. I can stand by myself” she replied while nodding her head firmly.
Seeing how determined she seemed, Sonia decided not to say anything else and released her grip on her arm.
“Thank you” Rina said and straightened her back as she withdrew her hand which was on her shoulder.
Suddenly, Sonia yelped in pain, and her face cringed.
“What happened, Miss Reed?” Rina asked anxiously.
“My hair!” Sonia said, holding her scalp with one hand and pointing at Rina‘s hand with her other hand.
Lowering her head to look at her hand, Rina saw a few strands of long hair tangled on her ring, and her eyes grew large. Then, she hastily bowed and apologized. “I‘m sorry, Miss Reed! I‘m really sorry! I didn‘t know that my ring got tangled in your hair. I‘m terribly sorry.
She looked so anxious that she was about to burst into tears, with guilt and self–blame written all over her face. In addition, she even looked a little afraid, as though she was scared that Sonia would reprimand her.
Rubbing her scalp, Sonia waved her hand helplessly. Although she was unhappy that her hair was ripped out for nothing, she couldn‘t do anything against Rina‘s tear–filled eyes. “Forget it. You didn‘t do it on purpose, anyway. Nevermind.”
“You really don‘t blame me, Miss Reed?” Rina asked while blinking.
“Yeah, it only happened because you were feeling unwell. I‘m not so petty that I would argue over something like this with a sick person.”
“That‘s great! Thank you, Miss Reed.” Filled with gratitude, Rina‘s face broke into a smile.
Grinning, Sonia replied, “Okay. Go to your driver now. Low blood sugar and gastric are not small issues, either. You‘d better have that checked out.”
“Yes, I’ll get it checked right now,” Rina said. She bobbed her head before waving her goodbye and leaving.
Upon closing the door after entering the car, the smile on Rina‘s face disappeared all of a sudden, and a vicious expression washed over her face instead.
Lowering her head, she removed the hair tangled on her ring, grabbed a piece of napkin, and carefully
wrapped the hair in it.
She was planning to use these hairs in a maternity test to determine if Sonia was the real Rina Gray.
It will be great if she‘s not, but if she is… Rina thought as her eyes gleamed, and her fist tightened.
Soon, she reached the Grays‘, and after she got out of the car, she stared at the huge, luxurious mansion in front of her with an unmistakable look of ambition and greed in her eyes.
Never had she imagined that she would move into a house which was like a palace to her, let alone have sumptuous food, sleep in a big soft bed, put on branded clothes paired with the most glamorous jewelry, nor attend the most sophisticated classes.
She thought that she could continue to enjoy all these, but she just realized that she could lose everything she had at any time, and she didn‘t want to lose anything!
Holding her fists stubbornly, she thought, That‘s just how humans are; it‘s fine if I‘ve never had it, but since I‘ve already had a taste of this life, I don‘t want to ever lose it.
Furthermore, she had already gotten used to a life like this. Therefore, she was unwilling to live that poor and hard life without any future.
Sonia, since you‘ve given me this life, showed me so much of the world, and brought me to this heaven, then don‘t even think about sending me back to hell. “So, hopefully you‘re not the real Rina Gray, Miss Reed. Otherwise…” she muttered with steely eyes.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the grim thought in her mind and stepped into the mansion. “Mom, I‘m home,” she greeted Julia, who was eating fruits in the living room.
Turning her head around, Julia asked, “Where have you been, Rina?”
“I went out shopping.” After she put down her handbag, she paced over to Julia and hugged her affectionately, placing her arm on her shoulders in a spoiled manner.
Turning to her in surprise, Julia asked, “Rina, why are you so intimate with me today? Ever since you returned, you‘d almost never taken the initiative to get close to me. What made you change your mind today?”
Although surprised, she was still delighted. These days, she had always been the one who was trying to be close with Rina, but the latter had almost never taken the first step to do the same. Even though she knew that this daughter of hers wasn‘t familiar with her, she was a little upset that she didn‘t receive a proportionate return of her affections.
