This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 953 Lied to Him

Not only were they threatening him, they were even humiliating him! Asher was dizzy with anger, and his breathing

became rapid while his face flushed, looking as if he was about to faint in the next second.

Sonia pretended that she didn’t understand that he had gotten this angry because of Toby’s behavior and played

with her hair as she said, “President Dafoe, relax. I know that you can’t accept my decision to drive you out of

Paradigm Co., but there is no other way.

Between you and me, only one of us can stay in, and I am the chairman with the most shares in the company, so

the one who has to leave definitely wouldn’t be me. Since it’s not me, it can only be you, President Dafoe.

Originally, I didn’t think this way, and even if you usually caused me a lot of trouble, I endured it again and again

because you’ve worked hard for the company in the past. I didn’t want to do anything to you, but…”

The smile on her face slowly disappeared as her expression turned cold. “However, there’s a limit to a person’s

tolerance. I originally planned to let you remain in Paradigm Co. for the rest of your life as long as you held yourself

back a little, but I never thought that you would go overboard.

Not only did you use my identity, but you involved my parents and got in between my relationship. You’ve already

used up all my tolerance for you, so I can’t stand you anymore, and I must drive you away. Because you own some

shares, I can’t fire you immediately, but as the chairman of the board, I can set up traps to make you have no

choice but to sell the shares that you own until you have nothing left!”

Sonia didn’t continue, but everyone understood what she meant to say. Without shares, he would not be a

shareholder and would only be an ordinary employee. As the chairman of the board, it couldn’t be simpler for her

to fire an ordinary employee.

Of course, Asher didn’t doubt for a second that she wouldn’t have the ability to do this and made a final struggle

with a pale face. “Sonia, don’t you dare!”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Sonia jutted her chin out slightly and said coldly, “Don’t forget that I’m the chairman of Paradigm

Co., and you’re just a small shareholder. I only gave you the position of general manager for old times’ sake, but it

doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want just because you’re one of the founders of the company.

Not only did you disrespect my identity as the chairman, but you also worked with Jessica to trip me up multiple

times. I let you go so many times because I wanted to give you the opportunity to settle down and stop causing

trouble to focus on your duties as the general manager. I thought I could overlook your past mistakes, but I was

wrong. People like you will never settle down. If I let you go again and again, it will only make you think that I am a

pushover who doesn’t dare to do anything to you and you would become more and more rampant.”

Seeing Sonia’s face becoming angrier and adopting the shade of bright red as she talked, Toby patted her gently on

the back to calm her down and motioned to her to relax and not to get so emotional over mere scum.

Sonia understood his actions and realized that she was overreacting a little. After taking a deep breath, she calmed

down a little. “However, now I realize that I was wrong. I should’ve shot you down when you first joined forces with

Jessica so that you wouldn’t have a chance to show up in front of me today and disgust me.

But, it doesn’t matter if I’m a little late. I still have time to come back to my senses. So, from now on, enjoy your

remaining days in Paradigm Co., President Dafoe. I’ve said before, the best way to take revenge on someone is to

make their life a living hell. I’m looking forward to the day you get chased out of the company, and how your pained

expression will look when you realize it will never be yours.”

Saying this, she gave Toby a look under Asher’s utterly frightened gaze, and Toby nodded knowingly before pressing

on a button in the elevator. The elevator door opened with a ding, revealing the lobby on the first floor of Paradigm

Co. In fact, the elevator had already arrived at the first floor a long time ago, but she had held onto the button just

to confront Asher. Therefore, after the elevator reached the first floor, its door never opened.

Now that they had walked out of the elevator and far away from Asher, Sonia felt her mood improving a lot as she

breathed in the outside air. As expected, it was much better not to breathe the same air as scum. Seeing that her

expression had relaxed, Toby opened the car door for her, and she had just bent over to get inside when he

suddenly stopped her.

“What’s wrong?” Sonia, who already had a foot inside the car, stepped out again and looked at him curiously.

Toby looked at her as well. “When you said those things to Asher in the elevator, weren’t you afraid that he would

hold a grudge and fight you to death?”

Asher wanted to obtain Paradigm Co. with all his heart, so he had been scheming against her all the time. Now, she

had completely ruined his plans and bluntly wanted to make Asher lose his shares, then drive him out. Therefore, it

was very likely that he might be driven into a corner and attempt to kill her.

She looked at the worry in the man’s eyes and smiled slightly. “Don’t worry. If you can think of this, how could I not?

I’ll arrange for the guards from the security department to keep an eye on Asher throughout the process, and I

won’t give him the opportunity to harm me.”

“Security guards aren’t enough.” Toby shook his head. “After all, they were recruited from outside. They haven’t

received any systematic training, so they wouldn’t be able to react immediately in a lot of areas. I’ll arrange for a

few bodyguards to come to your company to pretend to be security guards to protect you while monitoring Asher

instead.”

Sonia parted her red lips as she looked at Toby’s serious expression, wanting to say something. In the end, she did

not refuse. It was a matter of life and death, and she wasn’t the headstrong type. His plans were obviously the best,

so she would not refuse. After all, compared to bodyguards, the role that security guards could play was indeed too

small.

“Okay, thank you.” She looked at Toby and thanked him sincerely.

He flicked her forehead. “Why are you thanking me? Protecting my wife is something I should be doing, isn’t it?”

When he called her his wife, Sonia blushed. “Who are you calling your wife? Don’t call me by the wrong name.”

“I am calling you by the right name. You used to be my wife, and you’ll always be. Although we don’t have the

certificate yet, in my heart, you’re my wife. Why don’t we go and sign the certificate now?” Toby looked at her with

a sincere expression.

Sonia’s heart raced faster. “Why are we talking about the certificate again all of a sudden? Also, as you said in the

elevator before, you’ve already decided on the day of our wedding. When did you do that? Why didn’t you tell me?”

She had wanted to ask at the time, and she also tried asking him with her eyes, but he did not answer. Now, he had

to give her an explanation.

Seeing Sonia’s gaze forcing him to reply, Toby curled his lips into a small smile. “I was lying to Asher.”

“You were lying to him?” Sonia was taken aback.

Toby raised his chin. “Of course.”

“You were being so serious just now that I thought you—”

Toby looped an arm around her waist and wrapped her into a hug before he slammed the door shut behind her with

his other hand and pushed her against it, saying in a hoarse voice, “But if you really want to, I can make the

decision any time.”

“I don’t want to,” Sonia refused immediately, turning her head away.

At this, Toby frowned.

She sighed. “I’ve told you before. Until the day I get my revenge, I won’t think about marriage. My stance remains.

So, you—”

Toby pulled her into his arms and interrupted her, “All right, I know what you mean. Don’t worry, I do want to get

married with you right away, but if you don’t want to, I won’t force you. I’ll always respect your decision.”

“If you act like this, it’ll make me feel even more sorry.” Leaning against his chest, Sonia smiled and spoke guiltily.
