Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 599 Candidate for the Next Chairperson: Jessica Reed

The other shareholders and executives present, including Asher’s own men, were left shocked by the unexpected turn of events.

“There is another candidate for the chairperson position? President Dafoe, what could you possibly mean by that?” one of the attendees asked before another continued the questioning.

“Well put! President Dafoe, who other than President Reed would be qualified for the position?”

As those who held no more than 10 percent of the company’s shares were normally ineligible for the position of the chairperson, even the shareholders who had the second and third most shares would not even dream of becoming the next chairperson as they knew it was an automatic disqualification on their part.

As of now, the only person in the room who had more than 10 percent of the shares was none other than Sonia.

Just who was this second candidate that Asher mentioned?

Could this person actually be holding just enough of Paradigm Co.’s shares to make him or her a candidate?

However, what Sonia and the shareholders had should have been all the shares available. Where on earth could this extra 10 percent come from?

Furthermore, Paradigm Co. had not been selling its company shares. Thus, there shouldn’t be anyone who would have an extra 10 percent to compete with Sonia.

Asher looked at the confused attendees for a moment before his eyes suddenly shone.

Sonia, on the other hand, pursed her lips as an uncomfortable thought hit her.

Could Jessica be the other candidate?

Sonia had been observing the faces of everyone in the meeting room when Asher dropped his announcement and judging by how clueless they were as she was, she could only come up with the conclusion that the other candidate was not someone from within the room. It must be an outsider, she thought.

Also, Jessica had made an appearance in Sonia’s company today. Her sudden appearance only further convinced Sonia that Jessica was the other candidate Asher had in mind.

After connecting the dots, Sonia turned to look at Asher with narrowed eyes as she spoke up, “President Dafoe, since you are suddenly mentioning there is another candidate for the position, I’m sure everyone here is curious to know who it is. Why don’t you bring that person here so that we can get to know that person?” She then turned toward everyone else and asked, “Don’t you all agree with me?”
