This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

”Of course it will be Paradigm Co.!” Charles placed his hand behind Sonia’s chair.

Meanwhile, Tina gently tucked her hair behind her ears and revealed a slight smile. “From your options,

the Fuller Group would be the best choice. Paradigm Co. is teetering on the edge of hardship so

obviously, it wouldn’t be a good choice. What do you think, President Drew?”

Sonia placed down her wine glass and her expression darkened. “Miss Gray, where are your manners? I

was here before you and I’m currently negotiating on behalf of Paradigm Co., yet you’ve barged in and

thrown shade at us in front of President Drew. I don’t think this is the polite way to handle things, no?”

“Exactly!” Charles sneered at Toby quite coldly. “President Fuller, your girlfriend seems to be clueless

about the rules in the corporate world and she’s obviously broken the rules. Don’t tell me you’re unaware

of that too?”

Charles’ words were full of scorn and contempt and Toby felt quite uncomfortable hearing that. The latter

then took Tina’s hands in his and said, “Let’s go.”

Meanwhile, Tina bit her lower lip. “Toby, did I… did I do something wrong?”

“It’s not a major thing. You just have to be more mindful in the future.” And so, the two of them walked off,

hand-in-hand.

Charles pursed his lips in response. “That Fuller guy sure is protective of Tina! He doesn’t even have a

limit for it!”

Sonia, on the other hand, felt a stabbing pain in her heart and she didn’t respond to Charles. Tina is his

precious darling. Who else would he be protective of if not her?

Ryan took a sip of his wine. “President Reed, do you harbor and grudge ex-husband and his partner?”

She recollected herself and smiled faintly. “Not exactly a grudge, but we’ve had some disagreements.

Alright then, President Drew. Why don’t we continue our negotiation?”

Meanwhile, Ryan leaned backward. “President Reed, do you remember the words spoken by your ex-

husband’s fiancée earlier?”

“Of course.” Sonia nodded. “She’s right. The decision is in your hands. Of course, it’s evident that we’re

not the best option compared to the Fuller Group but we have one advantage that they can’t compare

against.”

“Oh?”

Suddenly, Sonia recalled Z-H’s mention of Ryan’s arrogance in their exchange of messages, and the

smile on her face widened. “I can offer you the liberty of buying or selling your shares whenever you want

to. In the future, if you have the means and would like to buy back the shares of Continental Co., I’ll sell it

back to you at thirty percent extra of the current purchase price. However, if Continental Co. is merged

into the Fuller Group, do you think you would still be able to buy back the shares?”

Although she had been a housewife for the past six years and was no longer up-to-date with the

happenings in this world, Sonia remained well aware of Toby’s reputation in the corporate world as a

living Hades. There was no way one would be able to win back something that had been taken over by

him.

Ryan’s expression changed and he showed some interest. “It seems, your offer is quite tempting and is

indeed quite difficult to reject.”

He then lifted his wine glass to propose a toast.

It’s a done deal? Sonia mused and was elated beyond herself. Soon after that, she lifted her wine glass

to toast him upon being nudged in the elbow by Charles as he reminded her.

After their toast, Ryan stood up. “Alright, I’ve got to go and meet my friend at the hot springs. I’ll leave the

two of you to your dinner. Let’s meet up in the next few days. Once I’m back in town, we can sign the

merger documents.”

“Sure.” Sonia tried hard to suppress her excited feelings and smilingly agreed to his suggestion.

Meanwhile, Charles cupped her chin and his eyes sparkled with approval. “Baby, you’re awesome!

Earlier when you were negotiating with him, you were stunning and your confidence shone through. I’m

sure that you’ll be able to handle everything by yourself and soon enough you’ll definitely become a

dominant lady figure in the corporate world.”

In response, Sonia hit his hand out of annoyance. “It’s okay to talk to me but stop touching me!”

Charles clutched at his chest dramatically with a hurt expression on his face. “Baby, this is too much! I

can’t believe that you’re actually annoyed with me! We’ve known each other since we were young. How

could you?”

Sonia rolled her eyes at him and completely ignored his antics.

Suddenly, Charles’ cell phone rang.

He stopped joking and took out his phone to glance at the screen. “Baby, I’ll go outside to take this

phone call.”

“Go ahead.” Sonia made a feel-free gesture.

After he had walked off, she suddenly recalled something and took out her cell phone. She tapped into

Messenger and clicked on her chat with the person with a goose as his profile picture. ‘Thanks for your

tip.’

Z-H: ‘Did you close the deal?’

Sonia smiled and swiftly typed her reply. ‘It’s a done deal. You mentioned that Ryan was an arrogant

person so I purposely provoked him by offering him the chance to buy and sell the shares whenever he

wanted to. It was how I managed to win him over.’

Ryan’s personality meant that he would not go to his parents for money at all. At the same time, without

Continental Co. in his hands, evidently, it would take him a long time to earn an extra thirty percent of the

shares’ worth.

By then, perhaps Paradigm Co. would have been restored to its former glory and even if he decided to

buy back Continental Co., it would not be a loss to the former either.

Z-H: ‘Congratulations.’

Sonia: ‘Thank you. I wouldn’t have succeeded so quickly without all of your tips. Can I treat you to

dinner?’

She regretted her words immediately after sending the text. She could still clearly remember the details

from that night. It’s going to be so awkward when we meet up!

On the other end in the hotel room, Toby had a black robe on and he was currently seated cross-legged

on the couch. He stared at his phone with a dark expression as he mused, Dinner? He then pursed his

lips and replied, ‘That’s not necessary.’

Sonia heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing his reply and she replied, ‘Alright then. Let’s talk about this

next time.’

Z-H: ‘Sure.’

Sonia then logged out of her account just as Charles made his way back. “Baby, I’ll treat you to some

time at the hot springs. How does that sound?”

Sonia’s eyes sparkled in response. “Sure! I haven’t been to the hot springs in ages.”

Ever since she married Toby six years ago, she had given up all of her pleasures in life. She had nearly

forgotten the feeling of soaking herself in a hot spring.

And so, Charles dragged her along and rushed toward the hot springs. “Let’s go!”
