This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“Okay,” Rebecca answered.

An hour later, they arrived at Universal Hotel. Belonging to Fuller Group, it was the only seven-star hotel

in Seafield. The simplest meal there could easily cost a normal family a year’s worth of their income, not

to mention that Sonia had booked a private room to treat the presidents to a lavish meal that consisted of

exquisite culinaries.

Since Sonia had shown her sincerity by providing the presidents with such deluxe treatment, they knew

they had to at least disclose something to her. Therefore, they finally told her that the person who was

targeting her was a Stryder.

“President Reed, from what I gather, there’s only one prestigious family with that surname, and it’s the

Stryder Family in Norfolk,” Rebecca whispered into Sonia’s ear while leaning close to her.

Sonia tightened her grip on her wine glass with a morose look on her pretty face. “It’s Melody Stryder.”

Although she didn’t have a feud with the Stryders, she did have a minor disagreement with Melody

before.

“I knew it. But why is she doing this? Could it be because of what happened when you were playing

cards last time?” Rebecca surmised.

Sonia took a sip out of her wine, her face devoid of expression. “Perhaps.”

“Isn’t she being a little too petty if that is the case?” Rebecca smirked. “Besides, Melody is poking her

nose where she is unwelcomed. How dare she, the daughter of a prestigious family in Norfolk, interfere

with affairs in Seafield? President Reed, I’ll go make a call.”

“Yeah.” Sonia agreed to it with a nod.

After getting up and leaving the room, Rebecca found a quiet spot to make a call.

“Say whatever you need to say!” A gruff voice came through the line.

Rebecca rolled her eyes. “Old man, I heard that the higher-ups intend to have the Hayes Family crack

down on the Stryders because of how cocky they have been as of late. However, they never got to take

action because they haven’t gotten a suitable excuse to do so. Is this true?”

“Why do you ask?” The man seemed impatient.

“So I guess the rumors are true.” Rebecca lit a cigarette that she retrieved from her pocket to puff on it. “I

called to bring you some good news, of course. Matthew Stryder’s granddaughter, Melody Stryder, is

currently in Seafield, and had used her family’s influence to interfere with the operations of the banks in

Seafield in an attempt to give my boss a hard time. What about you crack down on the Stryders using

this as an excuse?”

The man’s eyes lit up. “This is good news indeed. Not even Matthew was allowed to interfere with the

politics in other regions back when he was still the head of the family. His granddaughter sure has some

guts to break the taboo.”

“She sure does. She’s also stupid enough to give us something that could be used as leverage against

her family,” Rebecca mocked after puffing out some smoke.

The last time when they were playing cards, Melody had offended her once, so she used the info she

had of the Stryders to give them some trouble. This time around, Melody basically dug her own grave by

getting her entire family into trouble. Rebecca couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of it.

Meanwhile, the man frowned. “What are you laughing at, you damned brat? How’s progress with the

search for the young master?”

The smile on Rebecca’s face faded as she roared, “How dare you even mention that? You told me that

the young master had spent some time in Jordain County, but I found nothing when I got there! How am I

supposed to make any progress?”

The man choked on his words. “Alright, stop yelling at me. Just make sure to find the young master as

soon as possible. The old master doesn’t have much time left.”

“I get it,” Rebecca replied reluctantly. After ending the call, she snubbed the cigarette and headed back

to the private room.

While nearing the entrance, she saw the presidents of the banks coming out from within the room. Sonia

saw them off from behind with a smile on her face. However, Rebecca noticed that her smile seemed

forced, and there was a hint of melancholy to it.

“President Reed.” Rebecca spoke after the others left. “How did the negotiations go?”

Sonia wheeled around to sit down on the chair in the room. “I failed. They refuse to continue with the

loan. However, I did get a three-day concession, during which Paradigm Co. is supposed to repay all of

its loans.”

“Three days…” Rebecca smiled. “That works!”

“What do you mean?” Sonia gazed at her in confusion.

Rebecca answered merrily, “Don’t you worry, President Reed. I can guarantee that the banks will stop

collecting debt from you after three days, and those that have yet to offer the company a loan will

approve of it, because the Stryders will soon be in big trouble.”

Upon noticing the cheerful look on Rebecca’s face, Sonia had a realization. “You pulled some strings,

didn’t you?”

Rebecca merely smiled without saying anything.

Still, Sonia was certain that she had to be someone prominent. The phone call she went out to make

earlier must be the key to everything. Upon reaching that conclusion, Sonia stood to bow at Rebecca.

Taken aback by Sonia’s sudden gesture, Rebecca got up. “What are you doing, President Reed?”
