Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 600 Asher Dafoe’s True Colors

Asher’s expression immediately tensed up when Sonia mentioned bringing in an arbitrator to settle their dispute.

He was visibly starting to feel nervous because he knew that losing his shares meant losing his influence and position in the company. It would be equivalent to getting banished from Paradigm Co.!

“Sonia, you…”

Right when he was about to say something in an attempt to calm Sonia down, Jessica angrily interrupted as she loudly banged the table and cried, “Don’t go overboard, Sonia!”

Everyone’s heads whipped in Jessica’s direction at her sudden outburst.

“Oh? What did I do?” Sonia asked with her eyes narrowed.

“Stop playing innocent! Uncle Asher is our relative––not to mention, an elder. You should show him some respect. Your attitude is an embarrassment to the Reeds!” Jessica reprimanded. The way she pointed at Sonia made it seem as though Sonia had done something unforgivable.

Sonia could not help but let out a scoff at her sister’s answer. “Our relative? Jessica, you even had it in you to murder your own father. I doubt you really think of President Dafoe as an elder that you respect.” She then turned to Asher and reminded him, “President Dafoe, please don’t ever let down your guard around her. She did not hesitate to push her father to his death. You know it will be much easier for her to plan your death if she wanted to.”

As soon as Sonia said that, a guilty look flashed across Jessica’s panicked face as she shouted, “You better stop spouting nonsense! Who are you accusing of murder?!” Jessica’s heart felt as though it could stop at any time at that moment.

Did Sonia know something?

No, she couldn’t possibly have known about the poisoning. Sonia must be talking about the embezzlement incident that made their father take his own life.

Her eyes had started rolling around nervously at this point. Right. The embezzlement. That must be it. Stop panicking, Jessica. You can’t give yourself away now, Jessica convinced herself.

before Sonia could say anything to her people, Jessica quickly interjected, “Dad never said anything about giving me his shares, but as his daughter, I am a rightful successor of what he has left behind. Also, I am not wrong for trying to get back what originally belongs to me. The only reason I don’t have any of those shares is because I left Seafield too soon 6 years ago.
