This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 597 Who Would’ve Thought That It Was Her

“Alright, Miss Reed. We’ll move the car immediately.” As soon as the leader of the car towing team

heard Sonia’s request, he quickly gave out the order.

Not long after, a small team of people arrived and started working on her request.

While she stood by the side to observe, she made a phone call to Daphne.

In no time, Daphne picked up. “President Reed.”

“Miss Daphne, do you know whose car is occupying my parking lot?” Sonia asked with her eyes still

fixated on the Japanese car.

The car looked rather new and it seemed to have been recently purchased.

Furthermore, she was feeling very uncomfortable seeing the Japanese car as it refreshed her

memories of when Tina ran over Toby and herself. At that time, Tina was driving a Japanese car too.

After such a long time, there still hadn’t been any news on Tina or her whereabouts.

“Your parking lot?” On the phone, Daphne replied with a confused tone, “My apologies, President

Reed. I didn’t go to the parking lot this morning, so I wasn’t aware that a car was parked in your space.”

“I see.” Sonia nodded, signifying that she understood. She then continued, “Then… Please find the car

park manager and inquire about this situation.”

“Alright, President Reed,” Daphne replied.

After ending the call, Sonia pocketed her phone before she continued to watch the process of the car

being towed.

When the Japanese car had been moved onto the tow truck, she walked over and placed the sign

saying to not park back at her parking spot.

After that, she paid the towing team before making her way to the lift.

It didn’t take long before she had arrived at her office.

At this moment, Daphne was already waiting at the doorstep of her office. Seeing that Sonia was

walking over, Daphne started reporting the schedule for the day.

After that, she started telling Sonia what she had gotten from the car park manager. “President Reed,

the manager said that the owner of the car is a woman who claims to be your younger sister. That’s

why the manager didn’t chase the car owner away.”

Hearing that, Sonia halted her footsteps before turning over to ask, “What did you say? Younger

sister?”

Could it be Jessica?

“Yes, that was what the manager said.” Daphne nodded before she continued, “He even said that the

woman showed him her passport. The name stated was Jessica Reed. Hence, the manager thought

that her name was really similar to yours, so he believed that she was your sister and didn’t stop her as

he was also afraid to offend you.”

In this case, it wasn’t the manager’s fault.

The person to blame was the woman who pretended to be her sister.

“So it really is Jessica!” At once, Sonia clenched her fists tight as her expression turned sour.

Just as she was wondering if Jessica was the one who claimed to be her younger sister, her guess

turned out to be correct.

“President Reed, do you know Jessica Reed?” Daphne looked at Sonia with curiosity. Seeing that

Sonia did not have a positive look on her face, Daphne asked, “President Reed, does the woman

named Jessica have anything against you?”

“Do you remember the fact that my dad had another daughter besides me? A younger daughter?”

Sonia did not give Daphne a direct reply. Instead, she replied with a question.

Nodding her head, Daphne said, “I do. I heard President Lane bring it up before. So… Does that mean

Jessica Reed is really your younger sister?”

“Yes.” Sonia hummed. “She’s the daughter my father had with his second wife.”

“I see.” Daphne was struck with a realization. “I thought that a liar was pretending to be your sister.

However…”

With a frown, Daphne continued, “I heard from President Lane that your sister and your stepmother

had taken all of the money from Paradigm Co. and left six years ago. Now that she has made an

appearance here at Paradigm Co. again, do you think she’s plotting something?”

Hearing that, Sonia pursed her lips without saying anything.

Frankly, she strongly agreed with what Daphne had said.

Jessica was sent to the Republic of Mesania by the Lazulis. Therefore, she should be living there right

now.

However, she returned to Seafield instead and even came straight to Paradigm Co. Now that Jessica

had even occupied her parking lot to provoke Sonia, Sonia was convinced that something was fishy.

“Check out where Jessica is. Since her car has been left in the parking lot, she should still be in

Paradigm Co. After you find her, bring her to me.” Sonia’s expression was as cold as ice as she gave

out the order.

Initially, she intended to go to the Republic of Mesania and bring Jessica back so that she can properly

apologize in front of their father’s grave.

Obviously, it was unexpected that Jessica would come here herself before she went over.

In this case, this surprise saved her some time and effort.

“Noted, President Reed. I’ll work on it right away.” After nodding, Daphne left to carry out her task.

Sonia then continued to walk forward until she arrived at her desk. Just as she sat down, her phone

vibrated. A notification from Messenger came through––it was from Toby.

Immediately, her frown was relaxed as she tapped open the message to view it. ‘Have you found out

who was the provoker?’

Frankly, she saw that coming.

With a smile, she replied by text, ‘Yes. It’s Jessica.’

On the other end of the line, Toby had just gotten out of the lift and was heading to his office. Seeing

her reply, he paused his steps.

Jessica?

Who would’ve thought that it was her?!

He then started typing away. ‘She came back?’

After rubbing her temples, she replied to him, ‘Yes. There wasn’t any news prior to this though. She

started picking on me as soon as she came back, so she probably has something in mind for the

future. It’s not entirely a bad thing anyway. She had never visited my father’s grave. It’s time she pays

back.’

Seeing that, he laughed. ‘Alright. Make her pay everything back.’

Seeing how supportive he was, Sonia smiled as well.

At this moment, the door of her office was knocked on.

Looking up, she said, “Come in.”

She was expecting it to be Daphne, but it was Asher’s assistant instead.

“President Reed.” The assistant gave Sonia a bow.

Putting down her phone, she asked coldly, “Does President Dafoe need something from me?”

Sonia figured the assistant wouldn’t be here if Asher did not instruct so.

Standing by the door, his assistant replied, “President Reed, President Dafoe wants you to join the

meeting.”

“What meeting is going on at this time?” Sonia suspiciously furrowed her brows.

After all, every meeting had to be scheduled beforehand.

However, there wasn’t any meeting scheduled for today.

Now that Asher was asking her to join a meeting, something must be going on.

“President Dafoe said that Paradigm Co. has yet to hold a shareholder’s meeting after you came back

to the company for such a long time. This meeting will be held to choose the new chairperson. He said

that the position of the chairperson has been empty for a long time since there’s only a president and a

vice president. President Dafoe believes that this is not in the best interest of Paradigm Co.’s

development. That’s why he thought it would be great to select the chairperson now.”

Leaning back, Sonia said with a half-smile, “I see. However, President Dafoe is wrong about one point.

The candidate for the chairperson doesn’t have to be chosen at a shareholder’s meeting. All the while,

the person with the most shares becomes the chairperson, so I’m the most suitable person to hold that

position.”

It was a fact that the person with the most shares would always be the chairperson. If the person

holding the most shares didn’t become the chairperson, the position would be left empty instead of

letting anyone with lesser shares to hold it. It was a rule in the business field.

She was supposed to be the chairperson and not the vice chairperson. However, Charles mentioned

that she didn’t know much about business previously, so people below her might not be happy with it if

she suddenly became the chairperson. In worse cases, they might even come together to overthrow

her.

To avoid that, she humbly became the vice chairperson so that she could learn more and earn

recognition from the shareholders. That way, they wouldn’t have their guards up against her so badly.

When she was good enough, they wouldn’t be appalled by the decision to have her as chairperson. By

that time, they wouldn’t be able to bring her down even if they might not like her. After all, she was no

longer someone who didn’t know much in the field.
