Chapter 689
“I''m the actual owner of Paradigm Co. because it belongs to the Reed Family, and I''m my father’s
only biological daughter!” A bizarre and pleased smile appeared on Jessica’s face. “You are just an
illegitimate child conceived after your mother cheated with a random man. You''re thest person
that has the right to inherit Paradigm Co!"
Immediately, the two security guards and Daphne were shocked.
Still, even though the security guards were shocked and wanted to know if Jessica was speaking
the truth or not or if Sonia was the biological daughter of the past chairman, they knew their ces
as mere employees.
Even if the gossip was extremely juicy, they had to act as if they hadn''t heard anything and continue
on with their role to not lose their jobs.
On the other hand, Daphne didn''t have much to worry about as she went forward and red at
Jessica in anger. “What are you babbling about? Chairman Reed is not an illegitimate child!”
Truthfully, she knew Sonia didn''t belong to the Reeds biologically, as Sonia had already told her
about it because she was Sonia''s secretary. Hence, she knew that Sonia was adopted by the
previous chairman instead of being an illegitimate child.
Why is Jessica making outrageous ims here when she doesn''t even know the real situation?
Unbeknownst to Daphne’s thoughts, Jessica looked at Sonia before smiling sinisterly. “I''m
babbling? Why don''t you get Sonia to have a DNA test done if you want to know if I''m telling the
truth? If the report shows that we are not biological sisters, it would mean that Sonia’s mother gave
birth to her secretly after cheating and kept it a secret from our father. Why would he raise her or let
her inherit Paradigm Co and be the chairman if he knew about this? Paradigm Co. is the Reed
Family’s family business, and all of it should belong to me because she’s nothing but an imbecile.
How could someone like that climb over the shoulder of the real youngdy of the Reed Family?
Sonia, you better return yourpany''s share back to me and get out of Paradigm Co.!"
“Haha!” Sonia chuckled before she reached out to pat Jessica’s cheek while staring at her as if she
was a fool. “You''re not wrong. I''m indeed not the Reed Family''s biological daughter, but I wasn’t
born because my mother cheated as well, so if you want to use this to get me to give you the
company share, it won''t be happening.”
“You''re an involved party. It''s obvious that you wouldn''t admit to getting born because your mother
cheated,” Jessica looked up and said disdainfully while Sonia snapped her fingers. “I can''t believe
you''re that much of a fool. Jessica, don''t you know of the inheritancew? Even if I''m an illegitimate
child, which I am not, as long as I''m in the Reed Family’s ount, I still have the right to inherit the
company, so you have no right to make me return my share of thepany.”
“That''s impossible!” Jessica''s expression changed before she snapped.
Meanwhile, Daphne rolled her eyes at Jessica when she noticed Sonia would not say anything.
“Vice President Reed, what Chairman Reed said is true. The inheritancew remains the same
even in other countries as well. If you don''t believe it, you can always consult awyer about it.”
“How is that even possible...” Jessica''s mouth fell open like she had just found out the lie of the
century.
“What''s wrong? Are you still in denial?” Sonia’s lips curled up into a smirk. “Well, there is more from
where that came from. You kept mentioning that Paradigm Co. is the Reed Family''s family business,
so only members of the Reeds will be able to inherit it, but that was Paradigm Co. six years ago.
Now, it is no longer a family business.”
“That’s bullsh*t!” Jessica''s face contorted in a twisted manner as she shouted.
“Chairman Reed is not lying.” Daphne adjusted her ck rimmed sses. “Don''t you know that the
previous chairman mortgaged 40 percent of thepany''s shares to get his funding? From that
moment onward, Paradigm Co. became a public-owned enterprise instead of a family business.”
“Daphne, she won''t understand what you''re saying, so make it easier for her to understand.” Sonia
gave Daphne a look before bursting intoughter.
“Sure,” Daphne answered before continuing, “Vice President Reed, let''s put it this way. I''m sure you
know that the shares that Chairman Reed is holding right now aren''t inherited from the previous
chairman when you came to Paradigm Co.. The shares that Chairman Reed is currently holding
were brought over by other shareholders with her grandfather and President Lane’s help, so all of
them aren’t the Reeds’ original shares. All of Chairman Reed’s shares belong to her only without
regard to whether she is a Reed, so you have no right to ask for her share, even if you file a
lawsuit.”
“Do you finally understand what she’s talking about?” Sonia patted Jessica’s face again. “It’s
impossible for you to snatch my shares away from me using the fact that I’m not a biological
daughter of the Reed Family. It is simply impossible, and you have no chance of seeding from
the very start.”
Jessica’s face went nk after she heard them. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she
mumbled to herself, “How is it... even possible? How did it end up like this?”
When she came strutting over to Sonia’s office confidently, she had figured that she wouldn’t fail this
time.
In fact, she was already plotting how to humiliate Sonia after snatching her shares away from her.
No! How did things end up this way ?
“Chairman Reed, I think she had gone mad.” Daphne stared at Jessica’s nk state before she
lowered her voice.
Meanwhile, Sonia retracted her hand from Jessica’s cheek and went back to her desk to get some
wet tissues, and started rubbing her hand before replying nonchntly, “Wouldn’t she get mad if
she can’t get what she wanted?”
“Well, she’s a fool after all,” Daphne quipped. “If she’s smarter, she would have done her research
to see if she should waste her time toe over to confront you. Instead, she rushed over blindly
upon knowing that you’re not the Reed Family’s biological daughter. Someone with nomon
knowledge of thew would never be able to be sessful.” “You’re right.” Sonia smiled for a while
before an emotionless expression took over as she ordered, “Get her out of my office.”
“Yes, Chairman Reed,” the security guards replied before they carried Jessica, who was still in a
daze, out.
Right then, Daphne contemted for a moment before she spoke up. “I’m leaving, too. I shall
remind them not to put anything out.”
“Alright.” Sonia nodded.
After Daphne left, Sonia sat in her seat again before massaging her temples and sighing as her
head started aching after dealing with Jessica.
Still, she gained something this time because she finally knew how Jessica found out that she
wasn’t a biological daughter of the Reed Family.
Jessica said that she started suspecting my identity of being a part of the Reeds after she found out
that my kidney waspatible with Titus Gray, which meant that Jessica overheard me talking to
Taylor in the hospital since she was admitted to the hospital at that time as well.
Nevertheless, Sonia didn’t expect Jessica to be so cautious and actually suspected her identity after
Jessica found out that her kidney waspatible with Titus’. At least she’s not that dumb.
Still, Sonia had been wondering about why her kidney would bepatible with Titus recently.
Tim had previously mentioned that Titus’ body was different, and he had a rare blood type, so it was
harder for them to find someonepatible.
However, Sonia’s body was actuallypatible with Titus.

Isn’t that ironic considering the resentment between the Reeds and Grays? Sonia chuckled coldly
before she went to the corner of her office to grab a broom, as she wanted to clean up the mess on
the ground.
Nevertheless, having apatible kidney did not bother her. She did not go so far as to think about
her potential rtionship with Titus, seeing how her father and Titus were the banes of each other’s
existence twenty years ago. It wasn’t too logical to raise the child of one’s enemy.
Father hated Titus so much, so everything is just a coincidence.
