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

Chapter 61

“Of course!” Sonia nodded with a smile before looking at Tina. “Thank you, Miss Gray. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have so many benefits.”

Silently, Tina chewed on her bottom lip.

Slinging an arm around Tina’s waist,

Toby said, “Let’s go.”

“Safe travels, President Fuller and Miss Gray! I’ll see you in Seafield!” Sonia waved them off with a grin.

Gloomily, they left

After shutting the door behind them,

Charles came back quickly. “That was

amazing, baby. You cheated him out of

Ocean‘s Heart, and now you’ve cheated him out of a whole port and a plot of land. They looked so upset when they left. I was tickled to death!”

Picking up a glass of water by her bed, Sonia took a sip using a straw before answering, “Well, it’d be a waste if I didn’t take the chance when they were offering it to me.”

“That’s true.” After a chuckle, he looked at her seriously. “But are we really

dropping this matter?”

“Yes.” She nodded. “We could send

Tina to prison but there’s no need for

that, and Toby’s right-actually doing

that would exacerbate the situation

between the Gray Family and Paradigm

Co. Out of desperation, the Gray Family

would try to crush Paradigm Co.”

Currently, Paradigm Co. was still too small to be the Gray Family’s opponent.

Thus, she absolutely could not go head-to-head with them.

Seeing the logic in that, he fiddled with

his phone absent-mindedly before

saying, “What a pity! But it’s a good

thing that we at least got a lot out of it. Especially that plot of land. Titus would no doubt hit the ceiling if he found out

about it.”

At his description, she couldn’t help

laughing. “I heard from the grapevine a long time ago that he intends to build villas in Seafield because he wants to create the first villa district there. Now that we‘ve taken his villa district away, he will no doubt feel the loss.”

Gleefully, Charles gloated with his arms spread wide open, “Serves him right for having a daughter who harms her own father and her own fiancé!”

Harms her own father and her own

fiancé?

If Sonia thought about it, it was indeed true. Previously, Tina’s attempt to slander her ended up costing Titus his carefully prepared banquet to celebrate her recovery and Toby his carefully

selected Ocean’s Heart necklace.

Now, Tina caused Sonia to fall and it cost Toby a trade port and Titus a plot of land. With all the losses they were suffering, how could Tina’s actions be described other than actively harming her father and her fiancé?

At the thought, Sonia tutted, suddenly feeling pity for Titus and Toby.

“By the way, baby,” Charles leaned in

close as he murmured, “-what do you

intend to do with that plot of land?”

Expressionlessly, she lifted a hand and

pushed his face away from hers. “Build

a factory. Paradigm Co. needs its own

factory as well. We can’t keep working with other companies to produce our goods.”

She had yet to forget how impolitely Mr. King and the others had treated her

at Sakura Heights, as well as how

difficult they had made things for her.

It was not an experience she was keen

to repeat, nor did she want to keep knocking on doors just to find someone to produce her goods.

“Very smart to think in the long run, baby. Not bad. I support you.” He

patted her shoulder.

“Thank you,” she answered with a smile, permitting him the rare opportunity to keep his hand on her

shoulder.

The next day, they returned to Seafield.

The moment Sonia got off the plane, she hurried to Paradigm Co. to meet

with Ryan

As he sat down in front of her desk in her office, he gave the bandage on her head a surprised look, saying, “What happened, President Reed?”

As she felt the wound on her head, her

eyes flashed coldly. However, a moment later, she placed a cup of

coffee in front of him and answered

with a smile, “A rat attacked me.”

“I see.” Ryan dropped the topic with a

faint smile.

After receiving the document that Daphne handed her, Sonia began, “Here is Continental Co.’s acquisition contract, President Drew. Please go over it and let me know if any revisions are needed.”

She placed the contract on the table,

thereafter turning it around and pushing it toward him.

Ryan then flipped through it. Only when NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

he reached the end and saw the part

stating that Paradigm Co. would

neither interfere with Continental Co.’s internal affairs nor change the company name did he nod with satisfaction. “It looks fine to me.”

Reassured, she smiled before uncapping a fountain pen and handing it to him. “If that’s the case, please sign

here, President Drew. The finance

department will have the funds put into

your account within half an hour.”

Humming his agreement, Ryan took the pen and signed his name on the

appropriate line.

From then on, Continental Co. would

be a subsidiary of Paradigm Co.

Flipping the contract shut, Sonia handed it back to Daphne and said, “Keep it safe.”

“Yes, President Reed.” With the contract in hand, Daphne left the office.

Finally, Sonia stood. ” It’s getting late, President Drew. How about I treat you

to lunch?”

Waving his hand, Ryan rejected her offer and said, “I’ll take a rain check. I have an appointment elsewhere.”

Of course, Sonia didn’t push him and

only saw him off at the elevator before

returning to her office.

Right then, her internal telephone line

rang.

Letting go of her computer mouse, she picked up her landline receiver. “Hello?”

At the other end of the line, Daphne spoke up. “Someone from the Fuller Group is here, President Reed. He says he’s here to deliver a land deed. Do you want to see him?”

Slowly, Sonia smiled. “Of course. Why

wouldn’t I? Whom did they send?”

She never thought Toby would be so

proactive as to send someone over

with the deed the moment she

returned.

“President Fuller’s assistant, Tom

Brown.”

“Send him in.”

After hanging up the phone, she looked

at the door.

Very quickly, the door opened and

Daphne led Tom in.

“Miss Reed,” he greeted politely as he stood in front of her desk.

With a smile, she pointed at a chair.

“Please sit, Mr. Brown. Daphne, please

fetch a cup of coffee for Mr. Brown.

“Of course,” Daphne answered, very quickly going to pour a cup of coffee and returning

After thanking her, Tom pulled out a chair and sat down before handing two documents to Sonia. “One of these is a document transferring a trade port to your name, Miss Reed. The other is a title deed for a plot of land in the city

center. Please have a look.”

“Of course. Please wait for a moment.

I’ll be done soon.”

With that, she opened one of the

documents and began reading in

earnest.

Sitting opposite her, Tom

surreptitiously took measure of her and was surprised by what he saw.

Who could have expected that she

would change so drastically in such a short amount of time? It was as if she

was a brand new person and was

much more dazzling than before while Miss Gray, whom he previously thought to be good and kind, was becoming more and more sinister and diabolical.

How astonishing!

Meanwhile, Sonia could feel Ryan’s

stare but she paid it no mind and only

quietly finished reading the two

documents.

When she was done, she flipped the documents shut. “Mr. Brown.”

“Hmm?” Caught off-guard, Tom was pulled back to the present and pushed

his glasses up his nose. “Sorry, Miss Reed, but did you say something?”

With a nod and a smile, Sonia told him, “I’ve finished reading the two documents. Thank you for bringing

them here and please pass on my thanks to President Fuller as well.”

“I will. I’ll take my leave now.” With that,

he stood and bid goodbye.

Looking toward her own assistant,

Sonia said, “Daphne, see Mr. Brown

out.”

“Right this way, Mr. Brown.” With a

gesture, Daphne led Mr. Brown out.

When she returned, she was surrounded by her coworkers.

“Was that President Fuller’s assistant,

Daphne? Why did he come here? Was he looking for President Reed?”

“Surely President Fuller can’t be sending President Reed something. It was mangoes previously; what could it

be now?”

“You know, they’re divorced but they’re

still in contact with each other so

frequently. You don’t think they could

be thinking of remarrying, could they?”

At their gossip, Daphne spread her arms and answered helplessly, “How would I know? Alright, that’s enough. You should gossip less about your superiors. Go hack to work, or you’ll be screwed when President Reed comes out to do her rounds.”

The moment they heard that, they

quickly dispersed and fled the scene.

As for Daphne, she returned to Sonia’s office. “I’ve seen Mr. Brown off, President Reed.”
