This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Asher was caught between a rock and a hard place; if he were to walk out on Paradigm Co., he would immediately be replaced and with Toby blacklisting him in the industry, he wouldn’t be able to join any other enterprise. He would have nowhere to turn to and his whole career would be done for. More to the point, he never intended to leave in the first place. At this moment, Toby kept his eyes on Sonia as he asked, “So, what do you think?” As much as she disliked the idea of keeping Asher around, she was more apprehensive toward the idea of having Toby’s people working in the company. With that in mind, she nodded and answered flippantly, “Well, President Dafoe did say that he was only joking, so I’ll take his word for it and brush this incident off.” Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query “Alright, then.” Toby was slightly dejected by this and pressed his lips into a grim line. He had hoped that she would agree to his suggestion and allow Asher as well as his subordinates to leave Paradigm Co. That way, he could send his team over as promised and use that as an excuse to see her as often as he would like. Meanwhile, Asher let out a huge sigh of relief after hearing what she had said. Thank heavens she has the good sense to say all the right things; otherwise, I’d be doomed! Sonia eyed him impassively.

Are you still planning to oppose my decision to delist, President Dafoe?” He snapped out of his thoughts. He didn’t want to concede, but when his gaze flickered over to Toby, he swallowed his retort and was immediately agreeable. “Of course not, Sonia. You can do whatever you want.” “In that case, I’m going to put the word out. Now, is there anything else you’d like to discuss, President Dafoe?” She had as good as told him to get out of her office. Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query The corners of Asher’s lips twitched slightly. “Not at all. Carry on with your work, Sonia. I shan’t bother you anymore and take my leave now.” The moment he spun around, the smile on his face was replaced by a menacing grimace. He had walked into her office with the thought that he could wheedle Sonia into giving up her share of authority by threatening to leave the company if she didn’t. What he hadn’t expected was for Toby to put his foot in and ruin his plans. As things were, Toby would rise to Sonia’s defense for as long as their collaboration was an ongoing concern. It will only make it harder for me to deal with that wench, Asher thought, gritting his teeth. I have to find a way to ruin their collaboration! After Asher left in defeat, peace and serenity returned to the office once more. Sonia tucked her hair behind her ear as she thanked Toby for speaking up for her. Toby gave her a bemused look. “You’ve already thanked me half a dozen times today.” She took her seat and said, “I know, but it’s only polite for me to do so.” In truth, she was sure that she could have handled Asher on her own even if he hadn’t interfered.

medium enterprise. As long as the company remained, there was still a chance that it could flourish and eventually regain its former glory as a conglomerate. Toby rounded her desk and took the seat across from her. “You don’t actually have to thank me out of courtesy. I know things have been tense between you and Asher; you could have taken the chance to throw him out of Paradigm Co. if you wanted to.” Sonia’s gaze darkened. “I know that, but I didn’t think there was a need for such desperate measures.” “Is that what you truly think? Or, do you just hate the idea of having my people under your nose?” He stared at her intently as he asked. She opened her

today. “Fine.” He rose from his seat and walked out to the balcony to make the call, only to return a few minutes later with a sullen look on his face. At the sight of this, she felt her skin prickle with a bad premonition. “What is it? Did the department say no?” “No, nothing like that.” He kept his phone away and explained, “It’s just that there is a whole crowd of reporters waiting by the company’s entrance. I’d say there are about forty or fifty of them.” Toby had only brought with him a mid-sized team of bodyguards and while the dozen of them were all tough and capable in their own right, they couldn’t possibly hold back a crowd of reporters. As such, before he returned to the office, he rang the security company and had them dispatch another two mid-sized teams to the scene, but they wouldn’t arrive until at least ten minutes later. Upon hearing that the reporters were here, Sonia felt the beginnings of a migraine. “I bet this has something to do with Tina’s livestream. When she uploaded the post on social media earlier, about twenty or thirty reporters alongside crazed netizens showed up to demand statements and comments from me. I had Daphne call the police to bring those netizens away, but the reporters have the freedom of press, so we couldn’t do anything about them.” As long as the press was not gathered in a strictly off-limits area, the police could not exercise jurisdiction against them, which was a sore point for many. Toby lifted his chin and muttered thoughtfully, “That explains it.” Tom had told him earlier that there were a couple of netizens who brought wreaths and razor blades for Sonia as some passive-aggressive form of threat. However, when Toby had arrived, he didn’t see those netizens at all. As it turned

at some point. Now, the buzz around Sonia easily surpassed those of controversial celebrities. Some fans of those celebrities even made it a point to thank Sonia in the comments section of her social media platform, claiming that her evil deeds had made their idols’ crimes pale by comparison. That being said, most of the comments on her page were brutal and vicious. She knew that Tina had only pulled such a dirty trick to destroy her and have her burned at the stake. She thinks she can pin all these accusations on me because I don’t have the means or evidence to clear my name, but whether she’ll get away with it depends on Tim and his willingness to come up with an explanation. As she snapped out of her thoughts, Sonia glanced at the time displayed on her computer screen and saw that it was nearly 12:30PM. Tim wouldn’t come out in broad daylight to clarify things or confess his role in all this. She would
