This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 601 A Waste of Effort

If Jessica were to become the chairperson of Paradigm Co., it would mean an untimely demise for Paradigm Co. and its workers.

Naturally, Jessica felt everyone’s piercing gaze directed at her. Being unable to control herself, she yelled while her eyes were red with rage, “What? What are you all looking at?”

Predictably, no one in the room bothered to give her a reply.

Sonia, too, left Jessica to fume on her own as she turned to Asher and said coldly, “Really, it is a pity to see your calculated plan slowly falling apart just because of a slight miscalculation. Indeed, I have to give up half of my shares to Jessica if I had gotten any from my father. But surprise, surprise…” She continued, “The shares that I have were not my father’s.”

“What did you just say?” Asher was so shocked that he unconsciously stood up and asked, “You didn’t get the shares from your father?”

“Well, of course! My father had to give out his shares to the bank and other corporations in exchange for funds to get Paradigm Co. through 6 years ago. He exchanged a total of 40 percent of his shares and was left with only 11 percent by the end of it. He was fine with not being the chairperson as long as Paradigm Co. was safe. But guess what happened to the money he had gotten from the 40 percent he had given out? Jessica and her mother stole it!”

After finishing her sentence, Sonia slightly shifted her gaze to look at her sister.

Sonia’s eyes were so void of emotions that Jessica was stiff from that one look.

How could anyone’s gaze alone look so frightening? If looks could kill, Jessica would long be dead by now.

Never would Jessica have expected there would come a day when Sonia, whom she used to bully at any given chance, would grow a spine and become so intimidating!

“You’re telling me that you have only inherited 11 percent of Henry’s shares?” Asher asked with a twisted expression on his face.

Sonia smiled and answered, “That’s right.”

Asher was so enraged that with one angry swipe, he pushed the things in front of him––including his teacup––off the table. “Impossible!” he cried.
