Upon seeing the ridiculous comments that popped up in support of Tina’s false sob story as well as the wretched girl’s triumphant smirk, Sonia clenched her fist and slammed it on the desk in blatant fury. The loud bang that followed echoed around the room, sending ripples across the stifling silence. Toby instantly reached for her wrist and lifted her hand for inspection. What are you doing?” Sonia pulled away and shot him a wary look. When he saw how defensive she was of him, he was a little hurt.

It wasn’t like the content would favor Sonia anyway.
Sonia released her mouse and coldly looked up at Asher. “That’s right. I’m sure Miss Daphne has already given you all the details.”
Asher was furious as he struck the desk. “How dare you pull something off like this without any permission!”
“Oh, I dare to do so and I have done it!” She rose from her seat and glowered at the man while being unaffected by his tantrum. “Because lest you forget, I am the biggest shareholder in Paradigm Co.!
