Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 602

He already knew he was unable to stop Sonia from becoming the chairman.

Moreover, he joined forces with Jessica to threaten Sonia today, so he knew the latter would surely hold resentment toward him. If Sonia successfully became the chairman, she would definitely sanction him immediately.

As such, in order to avoid being sanctioned, all that Asher could do now was to force Sonia to give up the shares amounting to 5.5 percent. As long as the percentage of shares Sonia held did not exceed 50 percent, she would not be the absolute controlling shareholder. Hence, she would not be able to sanction him.

Sonia knew what was on Asher’s mind when she saw his glistening eyes, so she smiled and said, “Sure. I’ll give it to her. But it’s up to her capability whether she’s able to take it or not.”

With that, Sonia took out her phone and summoned Daphne.

“Go and draft a share transfer agreement,” Sonia ordered.

In fact, Sonia knew she would not be able to keep the shares of 5.5 percent from the very beginning, and she would’ve given it up even if Asher didn’t threaten her to.

So, she was not surprised at all to hear his words now. Not only that, she did not even feel the slightest bit of panic or reluctance.

Just as Sonia said just now, Jessica was an idiot, so the former could set a trap for the latter whenever there was a chance and take the 5.5 percent shares back.

Daphne glanced at Sonia in shock when she heard her order, but she still nodded in the end. “Alright, President Reed. I’ll do that right away.”

With that, Daphne left to draft the document.

Soon, the document was ready.

Under the witness of all the executives, shareholders, and lawyers of the group’s legal department, Sonia and Jessica signed the shares transfer agreement.

From now on, Jessica owned 5.5 percent of Paradigm Co.’s shares.

Although this was far less than the 25.5 percent of shares that she desired at first, she knew she would not be able to obtain it, so the 5.5 percent was already a windfall for her.

“Since I’m now a shareholder already, I should be given a position in the company. Sonia, I want your position.” Jessica kept away the share transfer agreement and stared at Sonia in a provocative manner.

Sonia narrowed her eyes and said, “Sure. I just hope you’ll not make a fool of yourself.”

“Ha! You sure are good at despising others. Even you are capable of managing the company, so I’m sure I can too!” Jessica lifted her chin with a confident and arrogant look.

Sonia wore a half-smile and said, “Is that so? I’ll look forward to it then. If you dare to cause any trouble in the company or do anything that damages the company’s reputation, I’ll fire you.”

With that, she stopped paying attention to Jessica and gazed toward Asher who was standing across from her. “President Dafoe, since I’m the chairman now, it’s time for you to hand over the other half of the management rights.”

Asher gritted his teeth and took some time before inhaling deeply while forcing himself to calm down. “Of course. Since you’re the chairman now, I naturally have to return the management rights to you.”

Sonia smiled. “Great, you’ll be able to have a good rest after this since you don’t have to work so hard in helping me run the company anymore. After all, you’re rather advanced in age.”

After saying that, Sonia stood up nonchalantly under Asher’s threatening glare and clapped her hands. “Alright, everybody, let’s end the shareholder meeting today. Meeting adjourned.”

“Yes, Chairman Reed!” All the executives and shareholders stood up and responded to Sonia. At the same time, they had changed their address toward Sonia from ‘President Reed’ to ‘Chairman Reed’.

Hearing that, Sonia briefly closed her eyes while having an enjoyable expression plastered on her face.

She had to admit that being addressed as the chairman was much more enjoyable than being addressed as a vice president, and she loved it!

Thereafter, Sonia did not spare more glances at Asher and Jessica but directly walked toward the entrance of the meeting room after picking up her notebook from the table.

Now that she was the chairman, she naturally would be the first one to leave as the others could only leave following her.

In the past, Asher was always the one who left first each time, and it was finally her turn today.

Indeed, it was thrilling to be the first one leaving.

Sonia walked out of the meeting room with a smile while Daphne, who was following behind, congratulated her. “Congratulations, President Reed—oh, I mean, congratulations, Chairman Reed.”
