This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 176

Behind him, Daphne immediately replied, “There are two more—President Dafoe and Manager Watson.”

“Yeah.” Sonia nodded, indicating that she got it.

It didn’t take long before the door of the conference room opened and Asher brought Bennett in.

Sonia met Asher’s gaze. “President Dafoe, you’re late.”

Unconcerned, Asher pulled out a chair and sat down. “Something happened that caused a delay. You’re not bothered about it, right, Sonia?”

Sonia smiled. “Of course not.”

Undoubtedly, she knew that Asher was deliberately late because he wanted to show his authority during their first encounter. She decided to let him be complacent now, as he was going to be upset soon.

“All right. Now that everyone is here, today’s meeting will officially begin. Previously—”

Before Sonia was done speaking, Asher interrupted her, “Sonia, today is the release day of the results for the cooperation seating of the alternative energy technology. It’s time for you to announce the results, isn’t it?”

“That’s right, President Reed. Tell us—did you get a seat for the cooperation?” Asher’s followers chimed in.

Upon hearing that, Sonia frowned.

One of the high-level executives who supported her slapped the table. “That’s enough. The meeting has just begun. Can we talk about this later?”

“Why should we wait till later to talk about it? We’re concerned about the results right now,” Asher’s followers continued.

Asher shot Sonia an even more contemptuous look. “Sonia, since we’re all so curious, you should tell us first.”

“Yeah, quickly tell us.” His supporters followed suit.

The executive who supported Sonia flushed red. “All of you had better not go too far!”

“It’s fine, Manager Lynch. You can sit down first. Since they want to know, I’ll tell them. I was going to mention it during today’s meeting anyway.” Sonia stared coldly at Asher.

Since Asher was so eager to give her half of the management rights, why shouldn’t she help accomplish his aim? As Sonia pondered this, the corners of her lips curled up.

When Asher saw her smiling, his heart thumped, and he was far from reassured. He could no longer hide the contempt on his face. What does the expression on that b*tch’s face mean? She can’t have really gotten the cooperation seat, right? No. That’s impossible. She must be pretending to be calm. She must’ve started panicking long ago. Yes, that must be it!

Asher kept denying the fact, but his clenched fists revealed his current state of unrest. Sonia noticed this, and it made her sneer inwardly. Then, she slightly opened her red lips and slowly exclaimed, “I got the cooperation seat!”

As soon as she spoke, everyone was surprised. Regardless of whether they supported her or Asher, none of them could believe what they heard. She actually got the cooperation seat?

“President Reed, is that true?” Kayden was shaking with excitement.

Sonia nodded solemnly. “It’s true.”

“That’s great!” Kayden pumped his fists, joy written all over his face.

The rest of Sonia’s supporters were beyond excited as well. Everyone knew that alternative energy technology represented reformation. Once alternative energy technology was fully developed, the world’s power source would be replaced by alternative energy in the future. Since Paradigm Co. was able to enter the alternative energy industry so early on, its rise in the future was already foreseeable.
