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