The Truth Behind the Past
The police officer came from a reputable family. His family was also involved in politics, and their base of operations was in Westsanshire.
With that police officer protecting Henry, how could Henry possibly be defeated?
Even though Henry was arrested at the time, it wasn't long before he was released.
Titus was not willing to accept this. Henry had taken the life of his daughter, a precious human life that hadn't even had a chance to open her eyes to see the world.
Why was it that Henry had killed his daughter but was only held for a few days before being released?
Therefore, he hated Henry and vowed that he would not rest until he avenged his daughter. Between him and Henry, only one could survive. He eventually accomplished this, but he never imagined that his daughter was still alive and had been raised by Henry!
"Yes. If you didn't know, you would indeed have reason to hate him. That year, before implementing his plan, Henry found that police officer and told him about his plan. At the time, that police officer didn't agree to it. However, after Henry begged him earnestly, he eventually agreed. This was only because that police officer had once owed Henry a favor. Afterward, the plan was carried out smoothly. Henry lured you to the river with a toy and then threw the toy into the river to make you think that your child had died. This achieved his goal of revenge against you and also allowed him to completely make Sonia his daughter. Later, that police officer arrested Henry for a few days and risked losing his job to release him."
"So, that's what happened!" Julia whispered repeatedly.
Titus didn't say anything and lowered his head while lost in thought.
Toby continued, "With Sonia's company, Henry's wife made a full recovery, and he also gradually accepted Sonia and treated her as his daughter. The name Sonia was specially chosen by him after searching many dictionaries. It represented beauty, wisdom, and happiness. He hoped that she would grow up to become a beautiful, wise, and happy woman in her future life. This showed how much hope he had for her."
"So what?" Titus gritted his teeth. "Do I have to thank him for that? I didn't ask him to steal my daughter, and she doesn't need him to raise her. I love my daughter, and she will only be happier living with me than with the Reed Family. The love I give to my daughter will be more than what Henry gave her."
Julia also looked at Toby with anger. "Yes, we don't need him to raise our daughter. He stole our daughter, separating our family for over twenty years. We will only hate him more instead of being grateful to him."
Toby was not angry either as he smirked. "Are you sure you shouldn't be thanking Henry? First of all, don't forget that you were the ones who went after Henry, causing his employees to die and almost causing Paradigm Co. to go bankrupt. Henry only took Sonia to get revenge on you. He was not wrong. In fact, he raised Sonia as his daughter and made her into the beautiful woman she is today. Have you ever thought that if you hadn't gone after Henry, would he have taken Sonia? If he hadn't taken Sonia, she would definitely grow up with you. However, under your excessive pampering, do you think that the current Sonia will not become Tina?"
This sentence completely stunned Titus and Julia.
He was right. If Sonia had grown up with them, she would have become just like Tina under their doting love.
Tina was an example.
They loved Tina because they treated her as a replacement for their daughter and as a source of comfort for their hearts, which was why they pampered her so much.
In fact, they were well aware that raising Tina like that was bad and that they were not perfect themselves.
But, so what? Tina was not their biological daughter, to begin with. They raised her for emotional comfort, so even if she turned out to be bad, it wouldn't matter to them.
However, just the thought of them raising Sonia like that was unacceptable.
This showed that they still had a moral compass and could differentiate good from bad, and right from wrong.
Their marriage had reached a point where they couldn't change their thinking. But they still hoped that their child could be happy and kind.
So, they really couldn't imagine what it would be like if Sonia grew up by their side and became like Tina.
Looking at the reaction of Titus and Julia, Toby sneered and said, "It seems you realized that it's not good if Sonia becomes like Tina, so shouldn't you thank Henry?"
Titus tightly clenched his fists and wanted to say that he would never thank Henry in this lifetime, but the words were stuck in his mouth.
At this moment, Julia suddenly walked toward Toby.
"Lia." Titus saw this and quickly stopped her. "What are you doing?"
She turned around and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Titus, you know I miss our daughter. Even though Taylor pretended to be Rina and returned to our side, I have never accepted her in my heart and have never treated her as my daughter. I didn't know what was going on before. I thought I was too cold as a mother. She was my long-awaited child. We were simply separated for over twenty years, but how could I have no feelings for my daughter? So, in these past few months, I've been blaming myself. Only now did I realize that it wasn't that I don't have any feelings for my daughter; I just don't have feelings for someone who isn't my own daughter. Do you know what happened just now when I heard that Sonia is my daughter? My heart was racing; I was so happy because I finally knew who my real daughter is."
Titus' lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.
As a husband, he knew exactly how his wife had been feeling these past few months.
In fact, he was no different from his wife in this regard.
Although his reaction wasn't as severe as his wife, he couldn't get close to Rina either as he always felt that something was off, but he just couldn't figure out what was wrong until now when he realized that they lacked blood ties.
Without blood ties, it was inevitable that something was missing.
"Toby…" Julia stood in front of Toby and she was eager as she looked at him. "Tell me, how is Rina—"
"Her name is Sonia," he corrected her.
Her expression immediately became sad.
After all, Rina was the name she had chosen during her pregnancy, but now she couldn't call Sonia that anymore.
However, Julia also knew that they owed Rina too much and didn't have the right to call her by that name.
"Okay, Sonia. How is she now?" she asked, clasping her hands tightly together.
Titus also stared at Toby with a tight gaze. It was clear that he wanted to know the answer.
Even though they were ashamed to face their daughter, they really loved her.
As parents, how could they not be agitated and nervous when they heard that their daughter nearly miscarried and lost her life?
Moreover, the person that had caused their daughter harm was raised by them.
They raised two adopted daughters and both of them had hurt their biological daughter. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Even they as parents treated her the same way.
They were really unqualified and not worthy to be Sonia's parents!
"She's fine for now, and the baby is safe," Toby replied calmly as he looked at Julia.
