This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 952

Keep You From Having Paradigm Co. To Yourself

Asher looked ashen with his eyes full of despair. Coupled with his slightly aged appearance, it made
him appear somewhat pitiful.

However, Sonia and Toby knew what kind of a person he was. A person’s wickedness had nothing to
do with their age or appearance. Therefore, however pitiful Asher seemed at this moment, she wouldn’t
let him off.

Even so, she wouldn’t really do anything to him in the elevator. After patting the back of Toby’s hand,
she pointed to the other side, signaling Toby to step aside a little to make way for her.

Knowing that she wanted to face Asher, Toby was somewhat reluctant to do so, fearing that Asher
would hurt her in a fit of desperation. In the end, however, he took a step to the side and made way for
her at her insistence. However, he only took a short step to the side, shielding her with one-third of his
own body in a protective posture.

Upon seeing this, Sonia was amused.

Standing across from them, Asher didn’t find it amusing at all. Instead, he only felt even more hopeless.
Toby protected Sonia so well for fear that she might get hurt, which showed how deep his love for her
was. Asher simply couldn’t understand what was so good about Sonia. There are many women who
are prettier than her, right? With Toby’s social standing, he can have whatever kind of woman he wants.
Of all people, why is he so infatuated with her?

Not knowing that Asher was still belittling her in his mind, Sonia took a step forward. Now that Toby was
no longer blocking her view by standing between them, she could clearly meet Asher’s gaze. Seeing
how wary, uneasy, and resentful the old man looked, she suddenly gave a laugh. “Relax, President
Dafoe. We’re in the elevator, and there’s a security camera overhead. However displeased we are with



you, we won’t really lay a hand on you. After all, if anything happens to you, those in the monitoring
room will see it. It won’t be easy for us to dispose of a dead body.”

Dead body! Upon hearing these words, Asher instantly felt his hair stand on end. As I expected, these
two people want to kill me!

Asher’s feelings aside, even Toby couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing Sonia’s words at
this moment. He was disgusted with Asher’s attempt to drive a wedge between him and Sonia just
now, so he wanted to deal with this old man, but he had never thought of killing him for real. Firstly,
what he had done didn’t warrant death. Secondly, he’d never do the job himself when it came to these
things. Instead, he would give orders. There were plenty of people who would do the job for him, so he
didn’t have to dirty his hands. He had only intended to teach Asher a profound lesson so that the latter
would stay away from him and Sonia without coming up with any evil ideas when he saw them.

However, before he could put his ideas into practice, Sonia told him to step aside. Not only did she face
Asher by herself, but she even threatened to dispose of the latter’s dead body. He knew that Sonia
couldn’t possibly have the intention to kill Asher. After all, she was much more kind-hearted than he
was, so she probably said so just to scare Asher. However, one could tell at a glance that Asher was a
cowardly bully, so he’d probably be terrified by her words. At the thought of this, he darted a look at
Asher. Seeing how Asher looked as white as a sheet with his eyes full of fear, he couldn’t help but curl
his lips into a smile.

When Sonia saw how frightened Asher was, a hint of exultation flashed across her eyes for an instant.
“So, President Dafoe, you don’t have to worry about your life. I’m not the kind of person who threatens
others with their lives. That’s too demeaning, and it doesn’t match my personality. I like to get back at
others using what they care about the most. Only by doing so can I enjoy my revenge to the fullest.
After all, death sometimes means nothing. A life worse than death is the most painful outcome.
Hmm…” She purposely paused for a moment and put a finger on her lips while pretending to be deep
in thought. “Let me think about it. President Dafoe, what is it that you care about the most?”



Toby raised his eyes, causing his long eyelashes to flutter in a good-looking way. “Paradigm Co.,” he
reminded her.

Sonia’s eyes lit up as she smacked her fist down on her palm. “That’s right! It’s Paradigm Co.! Thanks
for reminding me.” She turned to look at Toby with feigned gratitude.

Toby also looked at her with a smile. He replied in a gentle voice, “You’re welcome.”

The sight of them completing each other’s sentences made Asher shudder with fright, and his fear
grew stronger and stronger.

Just then, Sonia said, “President Dafoe, you and my father founded Paradigm Co. together. When the
company was founded, you invested 100,000 in it and obtained five percent of its original shares. At
first, you sincerely sided with my father and had no designs on the company. However, as Paradigm
Co. became more and more successful, the amount of shares you were holding fluctuated. You
became increasingly dissatisfied with playing second fiddle to others, and you weren’t willing to settle
as a general manager who only holds a minority stake. So, you set your sights on the position of
chairman and the chairman’s shares. For this purpose, you had planned for many years until you finally
obtained the right to manage the company. Unfortunately, that right of yours was snatched away by me
a few months ago. Of course, you definitely couldn’t accept such an outcome, so you’re bent on
snatching the administrative power back from me. Not only that, but the idea of having Paradigm Co. to
yourself has become an obsession for you.”

By rights, Asher should’ve panicked when Sonia exposed his true colors. Surprisingly, though, he was
very calm at this moment without panicking in the slightest. Perhaps it was because he knew that it was
useless to panic and resort to sophistry, so it was better to face it and accept it imperturbably. “What
exactly do you want by saying this?” he asked in a chilling voice as he clenched his fists while
suppressing his unease.



Sonia smiled. “It’s simple. What you care about the most is Paradigm Co., which you would use any
means necessary to get your hands on. But I won’t let you have Paradigm Co. to yourself. Not only
that, but I’ll do everything possible to rob you of your shares before kicking you out of the company,”
she said in a soft and impassive voice with a smile on her face, as if she was affably telling someone
that the weather today was nice.

However, her words sounded very chilling to Asher; even her smile looked like that of a demon in his
mind’s eye. “You…” His eyes widened as he pointed at Sonia, his finger trembling. He was so agitated
that he couldn’t say a word. He had to admit that Sonia knew what his weakness was. As Sonia had
said, the idea of having Paradigm Co. to himself had become an obsession for him. He had to have
Paradigm Co. to himself, or he would die discontented. Indeed, this was the best way to get back at
him, for it would make him suffer and make his life worse than death.

“Calm down, President Dafoe.” Sonia was still smiling as she stretched out her hand to push Asher’s
finger down.

However, before she could touch Asher’s hand, Toby stepped in front of her.

Startled, Sonia looked up at the man. His face was expressionless, but she understood what he meant
very clearly.

He’s telling me not to touch another man—even if it’s an old geezer. Vexed and amused, she couldn’t
help but roll her eyes. What a jealous person! After complaining about Toby inwardly, she went along
with him and put down her hand.

Upon seeing this, Toby curled his thin lips with apparent satisfaction. Then, he pushed Asher’s hand
down himself, after which he frowned in disgust as though he had touched something dirty. The next
instant, he immediately took his pocket square out of the left pocket of his suit jacket, wiping his hands
with it without letting off even the space between his fingers.



At the sight of this, Asher nearly spat blood. These blasted people…
