Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1151

If that was the case, then he'd tell her to dream on.

He never reciprocated her feelings, so no matter what she did, he would never let her have her way even if she used the child in her belly to threaten him.

The kind of people he hated most were those who threatened him.

Right then, Charles couldn't not think that Daphne was scheming something using her pregnancy.

He wasn't entirely to blame, for Daphne's pregnancy came way too coincidentally.

She affirmed that she had taken contraceptives, so why would there be a bun in the oven when she did?

Thus, he could only assume she didn't take the contraceptives and lied to him so that he wouldn't suspect a thing. That way, she'd have plenty of time to get pregnant without worry.

Once she managed to get pregnant, she'd be able to use the child in her belly to hold him accountable for her.

Yes, that must be it.

Charles grew more certain the more he thought about it, not changing the notion even when he knew Daphne had already made an abortion appointment.

Something must be wrong with the child for her to abort it, or why would she do so when she wanted to use the child to move up the ladder?

However, no matter the circumstances, he would make her sorry when she dared lie to him, hide her pregnancy from him, and even selfishly drop the baby.

To think he would one day let a woman wrap him around her little finger. I swear I won't be Charles Lane if I don't retaliate.

"Daphne Robinson!" Charles snarled through gnashed teeth as he glared grimly at the road ahead like Daphne was standing right there. His voice was filled with nothing but anger and hatred as though he wanted to mangle her.

There was desperation he didn't even realize interwoven in his voice.

Desperate for what, exactly? Perhaps only he knew.

However, all of that was oblivious to Sonia at the moment, for she went back to her long and dull work after seeing Charles away.

It wasn't until Toby called in the afternoon that she put the pen down, stretched, and relaxed that she answered it with a smile. "Hello?"

Her voice was kittenish and laced with a hint of fatigue, causing Toby to frown as he sat in the car. "Do you have a lot of work to do?"

"Not really. Why do you ask?" she asked with a smile while curling up in the chair.

Toby had parked his car on the side of the road beneath Paradigm Tower, and he rolled the window down and looked toward a window on the top floor of the building. Behind it happened to be Sonia's office.

"You sounded tired," he explained.

She smiled in response. "Do I? Well, I am a little. I have to look at more and more papers now, and it has only been months since I joined in the first place. With more and more papers to look at, the more strenuous it is for me to go through them. After all, there are a lot of things that I still don't know. I even have to find out what a technical term means whenever I encounter them, or I won't know what the paper is talking about as a whole. Imagine the consequences I'll have to bear if I sign it blindly. I'd sometimes encounter some papers that, although I understand, I don't know the actual situation. I'll then have to call the guys for verification before I can sign the papers assuredly. Hence, I'd end up woozy at the end of the day. I'm not just tired physically but mentally as well."

"It's normal that you don't know a lot of things when you never systematically learned how to manage a company. You've moved up the position very suddenly, after all. You can only grasp some skills while exploring during work. Simply put, you won't be able to learn everything at all like this," said Toby as he rested his hand on the window while tapping it.

"Yeah," Sonia affirmed. "But as a newbie, I still haven't made a mistake after looking through so many papers. This proves that I actually have talent in business, doesn't it?"

"Of course." Toby acknowledged her talent without hesitation, making her giggle with pursed lips, feeling joyous.

Toby smiled upon hearing her laughter as well. "But you can't go on like this forever. It's still too slow if you learn and explore by yourself from practical work. You won't be able to catch up when Paradigm grows stronger when you don't have basic professional knowledge."
