Chapter 953


    Not only were they threatening him, they were even humiliating him! Asher was dizzy with anger,


    and his breathing became rapid while his face flushed, looking as if he was about to faint in the next


    second.


    Sonia pretended that she didn''t understand that he had gotten this angry because of Toby''s


    behavior and yed with her hair as she said, "President Dafoe, rx. I know that you can''t ept


    my decision to drive you out of Paradigm Co., but there is no other way. Between you and me, only


    one of us can stay in, and I am the chairman with the most shares in thepany, so the one who


    has to leave definitely wouldn''t be me. Since it''s not me, it can only be you, President Dafoe.


    Originally, I didn''t think this way, and even if you usually caused me a lot of trouble, I endured it


    again and again because you''ve worked hard for thepany in the past. I didn''t want to do


    anything to you, but..."


    The smile on her face slowly disappeared as her expression turned cold. "However, there''s a limit to


    a person''s tolerance. I originally nned to let you remain in Paradigm Co. for the rest of your life


    as long as you held yourself back a little, but I never thought that you would go overboard. Not only


    did you use my identity, but you involved my parents and got in between my rtionship. You''ve


    already used up all my tolerance for you, so I can''t stand you anymore, and I must drive you away.


    Because you own some shares, I can''t fire you immediately, but as the chairman of the board, I can


    set up traps to make you have no choice but to sell the shares that you own until you have nothing


    left!"


    Sonia didn''t continue, but everyone understood what she meant to say. Without shares, he would


    not be a shareholder and would only be an ordinary employee. As the chairman of the board, it


    couldn''t be simpler for her to fire an ordinary employee.


    Of course, Asher didn''t doubt for a second that she wouldn''t have the ability to do this and made a


    final struggle with a pale face. "Sonia, don''t you dare!"


    "Why wouldn''t I?" Sonia jutted her chin out slightly and said coldly, "Don''t forget that I''m the


    chairman of Paradigm Co., and you''re just a small shareholder. I only gave you the position of


    general manager for old times'' sake, but it doesn''t mean that you can do whatever you want just


    because you''re one of the founders of thepany. Not only did you disrespect my identity as the


    chairman, but you also worked with Jessica to trip me up multiple times. I let you go so many times


    because I wanted to give you the opportunity to settle down and stop causing trouble to focus on


    your duties as the general manager. I thought I could overlook your past mistakes, but I was wrong.


    People like you will never settle down. If I let you go again and again, it will only make you think that


    I am a pushover who doesn''t dare to do anything to you and you would be more and more


    rampant."


    Seeing Sonia''s face bing angrier and adopting the shade of bright red as she talked, Toby


    patted her gently on the back to calm her down and motioned to her to rx and not to get so


    emotional over mere scum.


    Sonia understood his actions and realized that she was overreacting a little. After taking a deep


    breath, she calmed down a little. "However, now I realize that I was wrong. I should''ve shot you


    down when you first joined forces with Jessica so that you wouldn''t have a chance to show up in


    front of me today and disgust me. But, it doesn''t matter if I''m a littlete. I still have time toe


    back to my senses. So, from now on, enjoy your remaining days in Paradigm Co., President Dafoe.


    I''ve said before, the best way to take revenge on someone is to make their life a living hell. I''m


    looking forward to the day you get chased out of thepany, and how your pained expression will


    look when you realize it will never be yours."


    Saying this, she gave Toby a look under Asher''s utterly frightened gaze, and Toby nodded


    knowingly before pressing on a button in the elevator. The elevator door opened with a ding,


    revealing the lobby on the first floor of Paradigm Co. In fact, the elevator had already arrived at the


    first floor a long time ago, but she had held onto the button just to confront Asher. Therefore, after


    the elevator reached the first floor, its door never opened.


    Now that they had walked out of the elevator and far away from Asher, Sonia felt her mood


    improving a lot as she breathed in the outside air. As expected, it was much better not to breathe


    the same air as scum. Seeing that her expression had rxed, Toby opened the car door for her,


    and she had just bent over to get inside when he suddenly stopped her.


    "What''s wrong?" Sonia, who already had a foot inside the car, stepped out again and looked at him


    curiously.


    Toby looked at her as well. "When you said those things to Asher in the elevator, weren''t you afraid


    that he would hold a grudge and fight you to


    death?"


    Asher wanted to obtain Paradigm Co. with all his heart, so he had been scheming against her all


    the time. Now, she hadpletely ruined his ns and bluntly wanted to make Asher lose his


    shares, then drive him out. Therefore, it was very likely that he might be driven into a corner and


    attempt to kill her.


    She looked at the worry in the man''s eyes and smiled slightly. "Don''t worry. If you can think of this,


    how could I not? I''ll arrange for the guards from the security department to keep an eye on Asher


    throughout the process, and I won''t give him the opportunity to harm me." "Security guards aren''t


    enough." Toby shook his head. "After all, they were recruited from outside. They haven''t received


    any systematic training, so they wouldn''t be able to react immediately in a lot of areas. I''ll arrange


    for a few bodyguards toe to yourpany to pretend to be security guards to protect you while


    monitoring Asher instead."


    Sonia parted her red lips as she looked at Toby''s serious expression, wanting to say something. In


    the end, she did not refuse. It was a matter of life and death, and she wasn''t the headstrong type.


    His ns were obviously the best, so she would not refuse. After all,pared to bodyguards, the


    role that security guards could y was indeed too small.


    "Okay, thank you." She looked at Toby and thanked him sincerely.


    He flicked her forehead. "Why are you thanking me? Protecting my wife is something I should be


    doing, isn''t it?"

    When he called her his wife, Sonia blushed. "Who are you calling your wife? Don''t call me by the


    wrong name.


    "I am calling you by the right name. You used to be my wife, and you''ll always be. Although we don''t


    have the certificate yet, in my heart, you''re my wife. Why don''t we go and sign the certificate now?"


    Toby looked at her with a sincere expression.


    Sonia''s heart raced faster. "Why are we talking about the certificate again all of a sudden? Also, as


    you said in the elevator before, you''ve already decided on the day of our wedding. When did you do


    that? Why didn''t you tell me?"


    She had wanted to ask at the time, and she also tried asking him with her eyes, but he did not


    answer. Now, he had to give her an exnation.


    Seeing Sonia''s gaze forcing him to reply, Toby curled his lips into a small smile. "I was lying to


    Asher."


    "You were lying to him?" Sonia was taken aback.


    Toby raised his chin. "Of course."


    "You were being so serious just now that I thought you—"


    Toby looped an arm around her waist and wrapped her into a hug before he mmed the door shut


    behind her with his other hand and pushed her against it, saying in a hoarse voice, "But if you really


    want to, I can make the decision any time." "I don''t want to," Sonia refused immediately, turning her


    head away.


    At this, Toby frowned.


    She sighed. "I''ve told you before. Until the day I get my revenge, I won''t think about marriage. My


    stance remains. So, you—"


    Toby pulled her into his arms and interrupted her, "All right, I know what you mean. Don''t worry, I do


    want to get married with you right away, but if you don’t want to, I won''t force you. I''ll always respect


    your


    decision."


    "If you act like this, it''ll make me feel even more sorry." Leaning against his chest, Sonia smiled and


    spoke guiltily.
