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.
