Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 78

Tina’s eyes went wide in disbelief. He admitted to it. Is he really courting Sonia?

Other than Tina, Melody and Cynthia were also stupefied. In fact, Melody was staring at Zane like she was staring at an idiot. Both of them hailed from prestigious families, so Melody looked down on him for falling for a woman who had once divorced. He’s bringing shame upon all of the upper class society!

“Mr. Coleman, are you sure you should be doing this? Miss Reed is...” Tina bit her lip as if there was something about Sonia that she should refrain from commenting about.

Sonia let out a snort of incredulity. “Go on, Miss Gray. What is it that you want to say about me? Are you trying to convey to Zane that I have committed certain atrocities by trailing off mid-

sentence as if you’re trying to hide something?

Tina panicked, as she never thought Sonia would expose her intentions directly, which caught her off guard. Therefore, she shook her head while explaining herself, “No, that’s not what I mean. It’s just that Miss Reed is Toby’s ex-wife, and you’re Toby’s friend, so isn’t it a bad idea to go after Miss Reed?”

“Nope. I think it’s a nice idea,” Zane refuted with a smile. “Although Sonia is Toby’s ex-wife, they’re already divorced, so it’s just normal that I would pursue her.”

“But—” Tina seemed to have something else to say.

However, Sonia cut her off. “Is my popularity that much of an eyesore?” “No, I wasn’t—” “If that’s not the case, you have no reason to stop Zane from pursuing me. If you think Zane shouldn’t be courting his friend’s ex, don’t forget that you and I used to be coursemates in uni. According to that line of thinking, aren’t you in the wrong for going after my ex?” Sonia wore a half-smirk while observing Tina.

Right away, Tina fell silent as the expression on her face changed drastically. What could I tell her anyway? No matter how I retort, I will only be humiliating myself.

“I guess Miss Gray has nothing to add. Let’s go,” Sonia told Zane.

Zane nodded while gazing at Sonia with a smirk on his face. It’s obvious that Tina is trying to play the victim. Toby is the only one who’s too blind to see that. Heck, he even thinks she is kind and innocent. I don’t understand why he would see Tina with such rose-colored glasses.

Right before they could leave, Melody detained them. “Hold on.”

Sonia narrowed her eyes. “Do you need something, Miss Stryder?”

Both Tina and Cynthia also looked at Melody, who had her arms crossed. With an arrogant look on her face, she demanded, “Are you not going to apologize to Tina?”

“Why should I apologize?” Sonia met Melody’s gaze.

Melody snorted. “You had your suitor kidnap Tina, which led to her being hospitalized. Shouldn’t you apologize considering what you have done?”

“What? Did you have someone kidnap Tina?”

Zane was practically shrieking.

Upon hearing that, Sonia rolled her eyes at him. “Do you think that’s possible?”

“I think you might just do that.” Zane nodded in all seriousness.

Sonia’s lips quivered. “Get lost!” With a shrug, Zane fell silent. It wasn’t until then that Sonia returned her gaze to Tina and Melody. “Why would you accuse me of having someone kidnap Tina?”

“Tina told us she heard the kidnapper saying that you’re the mastermind,” Melody replied.
