Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 24

When Sonia was on the way to Sakura Heights, it suddenly rained, and it got considerably heavier.

When she arrived at Sakura Heights,

there was no more space in the underground parking, so she could only park in the open-air parking lot. Then,

as she got out of the car, she found that there was no umbrella in the car,

so she had to cover her head with her

bag and rush in while gritting her teeth.

The path was very close to the hall, but

because of the heavy rain, Sonia still

got wet, and her whole body was

trembling when the cold wind blew.

When the waiter saw Sonia, he

immediately brought her a towel.

“Thank you.” Sonia dried her hair with

the towel and spoke to the waiter. “It’s Friday, so business should be good,

right? Are Mr. King and the rest still

playing poker in the private room?”

When the waiter heard this, he thought

she was Paul’s friend. “Yes. Private

room 1103 is always reserved for Mr.

King.”

After successfully tricking him, the

corners of Sonia’s mouth curled up

slightly

When the waiter left, Sonia went to the

front desk and ordered a pot of top

“What’s wrong?”

Toby retracted his gaze and answered lightly. “It’s nothing.”

as well, so she brought the tea into the private room with a smile on her face.

Sonia scanned the place and saw a

vintage style room. Four men were

sitting at a table playing cards and

chatting. It felt uncomfortable,

because two of the bosses had young

girls by their sides.

She had read Dwells’ information

before, so in no time, she managed to identify Dwells’ boss among the four

She had read Dwells’ information

before, so in no time, she managed to

identify Dwells’ boss among the four

men. She walked over and greeted, “Mr. King.”

Paul, who was playing cards, glanced sideways at Sonia. “Oh, who are you?”

“I’m Sonia Reed from Paradigm Co.,”

Sonia said with a smile while setting

the tea and pastries down on the small

table.

“I came here this afternoon to meet a

friend. He played cards with you before

and praised your skills. I figured the

two of us have business dealings, so I

came over to say hello to you. Am | bothering all of you?”

Paul gave her a vague answer and

continued playing, while the man sitting on the south side of the table asked, “Is your father Henry Reed?”

“I’m familiar with your father. I’ve

played with him before. He’s really

good,” the man, Chester Yancey, said. He glanced at Sonia from top to bottom, his gaze somewhat ambiguous

Sonia ignored his gaze that was making her uncomfortable, then

replied with a smile, “Yes, my father’s

card skills are indeed good. That’s why he’s able to play with all of you, Mr.

Yancey.”

While the two chatted, the men just finished playing a round of poker.

He got up and beckoned Sonia over. “My waist hurts a little bit after playing one round. Come and play for me, darling.”

Sonia appeared embarrassed. “Mr. Yancey, I don’t know how to play.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

*Your father’s skills are so good, so

how bad can you be?” The man

continued to wave her over. “Come

here. If you really don’t know, I’ll teach

you.”

Paul spoke up as well. “You can play

on Mr. Yancey’s behalf. If you really

don’t want to play, then leave. Don’t

spoil the fun.”

Sonia could hear the dissatisfaction in

Paul’s statements.

Lately, Paradigm Co. was on the verge

of collapse, so capitalists all looked

down upon them and refused to buy

their shares. Dwells figured that only

they could produce Paradigm Co.’s

foreign goods, so Sonia would

definitely beg him, which was why he was being so arrogant now.

She came here today to beg Dwells, so

she was willing to suffer any

grievances.

Sonia suddenly relaxed the hand that had been holding tightly onto her bag, then she got up and went to sit at Chester’s place. With a shallow smile, she said, “Mr. Yancey, if you don’t mind, I’ll play one round for you, I’ll handle the losses if I lose, but if I win, the

money will be yours.”

Chester smiled with satisfaction, then

sat down next to Sonia before patting

her on the shoulder. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll

teach you.”

Sonia turned her body to the other side, discreetly avoiding Chester’s hand.

Soon, another round of the game

began

Chester glanced at Sonia’s cards,

which were in a mess. Seeing how

randomly she was throwing down her

cards, he figured she really couldn’t

play, but he didn’t give her any advice.

Instead, he chatted with Paul and

instinctively placed his hand on the

back of Sonia’s chair.

Even though Sonia was there, the

several men spoke unscrupulously. They talked about everything, and the topic would occasionally be a little

indecent.

As they spoke, the topic turned to Sonia’s marriage with Toby.

Despite knowing the answer, Chester asked, “Darling, why did you and President Fuller get a divorce our of nowhere? How many hundreds of millions worth of his property did you

“We weren’t getting along well, so we got divorced.” Sonia pressed her lips

together, then quickly replied, “The

Fuller Group is President Fuller’s

property, so how would I possibly be

eligible to get anything? After getting

divorced, I left the marriage with

nothing.”

“President Fuller really doesn’t know

how to conduct himself,” Chester said

regretfully, then looked unscrupulously

mt Sonia. “You’d slept with him for at least six years. Yet now that you’re divorced, he won’t even give you any compensation.”

Sonia released an inward sheer.

Toby doesn‘t know how to conduct

himself? In fact, he‘s too good at it. In

his heart, there‘s only Tina. Throughout

the six years of marriage, he had never

once touched me.

If she admitted this out loud, everyone

would probably laugh at her.

Sonia suppressed that emotion and

smiled while answering Chester, “It’s

not like I don’t have anything. I still

have Paradigm Co., which my father

left for me. Mr. Yancey, you and my Father are old friends, so I might need to trouble you to help me more in the future.

Chester laughed. “Okay. Since you’ve

already mentioned it, what reason

could I have to not help you?”

Sonia’s card skills were truly poor, and

she was repeatedly defeated by the

others.

Before one round was over, the pile of

cash she took out from her bag was all

gone.

When she arrived, she had gotten

drenched by a little rain, so the thin

hali-wet. Not to mention, all the men were smoking, and the windows were wide open, so cold wind was gushing in. After the wind blew on her for a while, she felt a little light-headed, but she was forcibly enduring it.

Chester noticed that Sonia’s fingers

were slender and fair, so he moved his

chair closer to hers and placed his

hand on top of hers. “Play this card.

Oh, darling, your hands are so cold.”

While he said that, Chester took the

opportunity to touch Sonia’s hand a couple more times

Sonia wanted to withdraw her hand,

but Chester held on tightly.

He inched closer to Sonia, then coaxed her, “President Fuller doesn’t know how to dote on people, but I do. If you need help with anything, just let me know.

You must want Dwells to work on your

company’s overseas order, right? I’ll

talk to Paul later and get him to sign the contract with you!”

Sonia was already uncomfortable, so

when she smelled the stench of smoke

and sweat on his body, her stomach

churned.

She had been enduring it since she

came in, but she couldn’t bear it

anymore.

Sonia forcefully pulled her hand out,

then moved her chair before saying in a cold tone. “Mr. Yancey, I can’t play like this.”

Chester was taken aback, then his face

sank and he snapped, “Darling, what’s going on? I was going to put in a good

word with Paul to help your company,

but now you’re shunning me?”

“I don’t think you want to help me. You

just want to sleep with me, don’t you?”

Sonia unveiled his hypocritical mask.

“As far as your company is concerned, you don’t have any money to save you. It’s only a matter of time before you go

bankrupt,” Chester sneered. “I quite pity

you. After six years of marriage with

President Fuller, he didn’t even help you

Save Paradigm Co.”

Chester’s remarks were getting increasingly unbridled. “Tell me. Now, besides using your beauty, where else

can you get connections and money to

save Paradigm Co.?”

Sonia had already grabbed the teapot

on the small table and was about to

smash it to smithereens against

Chester’s head when suddenly, there

was a knock on the door of the private

room before it was pushed open..

Paul was about to ask Sonia to leave,

but as soon as he looked up, he saw

the tall figure at the door and

immediately stood up from his seat.
