Chapter 755 Jessica’s Threat
Jessica clenched her fists, trying to hide her fear while looking at Toby. “Of course, I wouldn’t be in a place to make deals with you if Sonia’s parents were just ordinary people, but what if I say her parents are Titus and his wife?”
While Tom took a deep breath upon hearing the lady’s words, Toby squinted with a darkened look on his face. So, it’s true that this lady knows Titus and his wife are Sonia’s parents.
“President Fuller!” Tom immediately looked at Toby.
Nonetheless, Toby raised his hand, gesturing to his assistant to keep quiet, whereupon Tom nodded and stepped back.
However, Jessica appeared to be satisfied with the two men’s reaction, smiling with glee. “How does that sound, Mr. Fuller? Is this secret surprising enough to you?”
In the meantime, Tom, who was standing right behind Toby, rolled his eyes upward in response, thinking the lady was a fool because she didn’t know that Toby was already aware of who Sonia’s biological parents were.
So, Jessica really thinks she can trade this secret with her freedom through a deal with President Fuller. How laughable that is!
With a darkened expression on his face, Toby quickly calmed himself down and asked gloomily, “What makes you so sure that Titus and his wife are Sonia’s parents?”
Meanwhile, Jessica failed to notice anything wrong with Toby and Tom’s expressions, as she still thought that everything was under her control. Thus, she began to get carried away and jutted her chin, saying, “In fact, I didn’t know that until I was kept here. Then, I recalled the conversation that I overheard between Tina and Sonia in the hospital that day. When I found out that Tina wanted Sonia to donate her kidney to Titus, I got curious and wondered why Sonia and Titus’ kidneys were so conveniently compatible with each other, so I investigated the matter further by skimming through Sonia’s medical report.”
“So that’s how you found out that Sonia isn’t the Reed Family’s biological daughter?” Toby had known about that from Sonia long ago, but decided to play Jessica’s game to see where she would lead him. Unknown to Jessica, she didn’t know that she was, in fact, the clown and still believed that she was the one in control, which Toby found laughable.
“That’s right.” Jessica nodded before a hideous look showed on her face. “I didn’t read too much into Sonia’s relationship with Titus at that time. Instead, I was simply too excited about the fact that Sonia is not my father’s biological daughter. It was not long before my impulse got the better of me and prompted me to spread the news all over the internet. Although I subsequently ended up here because of that, I suppose it was still a blessing in disguise because it gave me enough time to figure out that Sonia is actually Titus’ real daughter.”
She gritted her teeth and added, “Right after I read Sonia’s medical report, I went on to peek at Titus’ report as well and realized that they both shared the same blood type. More importantly, Titus’ peculiar physical condition and blood type made it hard for him to find a compatible kidney donor unless he had help from anyone related to him by blood. While my excitement about the fact that Sonia is not my father’s daughter blinded me from realizing that, I’m sure I would have figured their relationship out sooner had I thought about it calmer. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be trapped here.”
Thinking that she could just reveal the truth to make Sonia fall apart, Jessica was grateful that it wasn’t too late for her to figure out the untold story.
“Oh, I see.” Toby reacted with a glacial look, catching on to how Jessica came to know so much. I thought someone told her all these things, but it turns out that she figured everything out by herself. He looked down a little to hide his expression, coldly asking, “But why should I believe that you’re telling me the truth?”
“Of course, I’m telling you the truth. If you don’t believe me, you could arrange a paternity test for Sonia and Titus. With what you’re capable of, you can easily do that without them even knowing it.” Jessica gazed at the man.
“Is that so?” Toby fiddled with his fingers, his emotions barely fathomable.
Soon, something seemed to spring to Jessica’s mind as she said, “You can also start from the imposter, Tina. I don’t know how she could keep her cover from being blown for so long, but once you find her, you’ll know that Sonia is actually Tina, since even she had to talk Sonia into donating her kidney to Titus. For that, it’s obvious enough that Sonia is, in fact, the one who belongs with the Gray Family instead of Tina.”
“That’s not a bad idea,” Toby replied with a bleak voice.
Still unable to sense anything awry, Jessica thought Toby was complimenting her and smiled even wider. “What do you think, Mr. Fuller? Is this secret worth the trouble of getting me out of here? After all, you and I both know how much the Reed Family and the Gray Family hate each other, yet Sonia, who should have been with the Gray Family over the years, grew up with the Reeds. Ironically, her vendetta has always motivated her to cripple the Grays, in order to avenge the Reeds. So, Mr. Fuller.”
The lady gazed at Toby and continued to say, “Do you think Sonia will be so heartbroken that she may commit suicide upon learning the truth that the person whom she has always wanted to seek revenge on is her father? After all, she has spent years trying to achieve her quest for vengeance, only to be disappointed because this so-called revenge that she prioritizes so much and even considers her life goal turns out to be nothing more than a joke. If that happens, which do you think she’ll choose? Will she go ahead with her revenge or not? If she is going to do that, her parents are going to end up behind bars or even meet their demise, which will leave her stigmatized because she will have become the one who kills her parents. Do you think that’s not going to haunt her conscience for the rest of her life?”
While Toby’s expression became even more and more darkened, Jessica became more and more excited. “But if she gives up her quest for vengeance, she’ll let the Reed Family down after all those years they spent raising her and educating her. You know what’s sarcastic? Sonia may be Titus’ daughter, but she is nothing like this evil, cunning, and vicious man. Instead, she has Henry’s hypocrisy, but knowing her, I’m sure she’ll be weighed down by her conscience for the rest of her life too, even if she decides not to seek revenge on the Grays because that means she’ll be living in guilt until she dies. No matter which choice she makes, it won’t end well for her. In fact, she may even…”
“In fact, she may even what?” Toby radiated an intimidating aura.
Jessica smiled and answered, “She may even take her own life in order to avoid the fate of having to make a tough choice. Knowing Sonia, I’m quite convinced that she’ll commit suicide after learning the truth. Although this is what a dumb coward would do, it is a good way to resolve the vendetta between the Grays and the Reeds. For that, I believe my analysis has enlightened you about why you shouldn’t let Sonia know that she is Titus’ daughter. Am I right, Mr. Fuller?”
As much as Jessica would hate to admit Toby’s love for Sonia, she could tell that the man wouldn’t let the truth break Sonia’s heart, unless he was willing to watch her fall apart and kill herself. Therefore, she was confident that Toby would agree to get her out of detention.
“Is this a threat?” Toby squinted warily.
Jessica smiled and replied, “Come on, Mr. Fuller. How is this a threat to you? I’m trying to make a deal with you instead. Once you get me out of here, break up with Sonia and become my man. Then, I’ll make sure Sonia knows nothing about her actual identity. Considering your love for her, I’m sure you’ll do anything for her. Right, Mr. Fuller?”
“Oh, come on. Where is your sense of shame?!” Tom could no longer stand Jessica’s brazen attitude, pointing at her with his finger while lecturing her. “You want President Fuller to get you out of this place, as if you don’t think it’s too much to ask at all; now, you’re even thinking you can be with President Fuller when you get out of here. Lady, you really know how to push your luck, but the question here is—do you think President Fuller is going to agree to your terms?”
