Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 912

Chapter 912 Connor’s Motive

Her factory had just been built at the moment, and the machines she had ordered from Kosovo wouldn’t be delivered until the beginning of next month. Once the machines were delivered at the beginning of next month, Paradigm Co. would be able to support itself without having to collaborate with other manufacturers to produce spare parts and other machines. It was now less than ten days away from the beginning of next month, so this was naturally Paradigm Co.’s last collaboration with the collaborating manufacturer. However, little did she think that such a thing would happen during the last collaboration! She closed her eyes slightly while heaving a long sigh.

Just then, Sonia suddenly recalled something, and her expression changed slightly. After she rejected Connor’s request to let Anya off this morning, Connor had told her not to make her decision in such a hurry, saying that he would give her two days to think about it and that she might change her mind two days later.

She had told Toby about this, and she had even mocked Connor at that time for having no reason to say that she would change her mind two days later. She had wondered if Connor had any bargaining chips, but now, Connor had intercepted her parts. If she couldn’t get the parts in three days, she would be met with all kinds of troubles. Wouldn’t she have to give in by then in order to get the parts back?

So, this has been Connor’s motive all along—to intimidate me into changing my mind in two days! What a scheming man he is! Indeed, I’m too inexperienced compared to a sly old fox like Connor. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fallen into his trap while being unprepared! Those thoughts sent Sonia into a fit, and her chest heaved up and down from anger, her eyes reddened.

Just then, her phone’s screen flashed on her desk, and Toby’s slightly amplified voice sounded through the phone again. “Little Leaf, are you still there?”

When Sonia heard the man’s voice, her eyes flickered, and she looked down at the phone. Only then did she recall that her phone conversation with Toby hadn’t ended yet. After taking a deep breath to suppress her anger and compose herself a little, she picked up her phone and held it to her ear, saying, “Yeah, I’m still here.”

Toby’s taut expression eased somewhat when he heard Sonia’s reply. He pursed his thin lips, asking, “What happened just now?”

Sonia knew that Toby must’ve heard something when she lost her temper just now, so he would definitely ask her about it. If it were something that happened to her company, she would probably have told him directly instead of keeping it from him.

However, she didn’t want to tell him what had happened this time. If Toby were to learn about it, he would definitely go to Connor right away. However, the feud between Toby and Connor was so great that now wasn’t the right time for Toby to come face to face with Connor. Therefore, she decided to keep it from him first.

I still have three days left, during which time I’m gonna try it on my own. If I can’t get back the parts in three days, I’ll consider whether to ask for his help. At the thought of this, Sonia bit her lower lip. Trying her best to sound natural, she replied, “It’s nothing serious—just a trifling matter, actually. Asher kicked up a fuss again. You know how power-hungry he is, so it’s normal for him to kick up a fuss every once in a while. I’ve gotten used to it.”

“Is that so?” Toby narrowed his eyes in apparent suspicion. It doesn’t seem like a trifling matter. She looked so furious and shocked just now, after all.

“Of course it is.” Sonia nodded. Then, she purposely hardened her expression and said in displeasure, “What’s the matter? Don’t you believe me? Do you think that I’m lying to you?”

“No, I don’t think so,” he replied immediately.

She let out a snort. “That settles it. In any case, I’ve given the orders to take care of the matter, so don’t ask about it anymore.”

Seeing how eager Sonia was to stop talking about the matter, Toby could only listen to her, and he massaged the space between his eyebrows. “Since it’s nothing serious, I’m not gonna ask you about it. But if it’s something serious, I hope that you won’t keep it from me. Be sure to tell me about it and not make me worried. Got it?” he said with a frown.

Sonia lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience and mumbled, “Uh-huh.” Then, she added, “Alright, I gotta go. I’ve got something to do over here, or else I won’t be able to leave at seven.”

“Alright.” Toby nodded slightly.
