“Nothing much. I was just worried about you, so I wanted to check up on you,” Toby looked at Sonia and said affectionately.
Sonia’s eyes flashed, whereupon she quickly turned her face away and said nothing.
Toby knew that she was avoiding him. Seeing her reaction, he felt a little disappointed, but he pursed his thin lips and said, “This is just my personal emotion. You don’t need to feel pressured.”
Sonia bit her lower lip. “I know, but—”
“President Reed, bad news!” Before Sonia could finish her words, the door of the office was pushed open, and Daphne bursted in.
When Sonia saw her behaving this way, her expression became serious. “What's wrong?” “Tina... Tina Gray, she...” Daphne patted her chest, and after she had calmed down, she continued, “Tina Gray wants to start a live broadcast. She said that she wants to tell everyone about the whole process of your ‘evil plan' in detail on the live broadcast.”
“Really?” Toby frowned.
Daphne nodded again and again. “She posted a notice of the live broadcast on her social platform—it’s going to start at 11.10AM.”
“11.10AM...” Sonia's expression sank, and she hurriedly looked at the lower right corner of the computer screen. It was already 11,00AM. In other words, there were still ten minutes before the live broadcast would start.
“President Reed, what should we do now?”
Daphne looked at Sonia. “Should we try to block
Tina's live broadcast in advance?”
“No!” Sonia and Toby said in unison.
Hearing that, Daphne blinked from surprise. She looked at Sonia, and then at Toby, wondering since when these two had started speaking in sync. In fact, both Sonia and Toby didn’t expect the other to say such a thing at the same time.
For Sonia, she recovered after a moment of surprise. Toby, on the other hand, curled his thin lips, feeling quite happy. Does this mean that we think alike? he thought to himself.
“President Fuller is right. This live broadcast must never be suppressed!” Sonia frowned and said solemnly. “Tina has already said that she will tell the whole process of me scheming on her in the live broadcast, so if I suppress the broadcast now, won’t that just make me seem guilty?”
“But this way, Paradigm’s stock market will drop once again.” Daphne looked worried.
Sonia rubbed her temples. “Let me think of another way.” She didn’t expect that even after Toby suppressed the news about her on the Internet, Tina would pull this stunt. And this really did catch her off guard.
At this moment, Toby suddenly said, “The best way now is to delist Paradigm Co.”
Sonia narrowed her eyes. “Delist?”
“Yes. Paradigm has just narrowly escaped bankruptcy, and its development is not too stable, so at present, it is not suitable for Paradigm to survive in the stock market. Had the state allowed companies to attack each other in the stock market, Paradigm would have been made bankrupt by the Triforce Group long ago,” Toby looked at her and said.
At this, Sonia pursed her red lips. Although what he said was a bit unpleasant, it was the hard truth. If the country had not promulgated this rule, Titus would have directly attacked Paradigm’s stock market—which right now, was already like scattered sand—and make Paradigm completely a thing of the past.
Of course, when a company’s stock market had problems, it was allowed by the state for other companies to take the opportunity to acquire the scattered shares.
Seeing that Sonia didn't speak, Toby softened his tone. “As long as Paradigm is delisted, there will be no major changes in the stock market, and there will be no need to worry about someone deliberately taking the opportunity to cause problems in Paradigm's stocks by acquiring its scattered shares. Thus, we should take advantage of this situation and delist Paradigm from the stock market now. It won’t be too late to re-list when Paradigm is fully developed in the future. Hm?”
Sonia admitted that she was a little persuaded. “But we can’t delist the company this fast. After all the procedures are completed, Paradigm’s stock market would have long collapsed.”
“It’s okay. I can make a call and get them to delist your company today,” Toby raised his chin and said.
