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

Chapter 795 Daphne’s Teasing

Although Sonia didn’t hear what Rina muttered to herself at the end, she did see the change in Rina’s expression

the moment the elevator doors slid shut.

The ferocious expression, so full of hostile intent, was intimidating enough to make Sonia shudder.

She knew Rina was looking at her like that because the answer she gave wasn’t what Rina wanted.

What Rina wanted was for her to agree to donate a kidney to Titus, regardless of whether he was her father.

However, Sonia simply wouldn’t agree, and that was what had Rina so enraged.

In truth, it was quite amusing. Sonia had no idea what Rina was thinking of and where she found the gall to assume

that Sonia not only would, but was supposed, to save Titus.

For Rina to even bring up the hypothetical, where Titus was Sonia’s father!

Titus Gray, my father?

As Sonia stared at the elevator display, she sneered internally.

How can that be possible?

It would be a tragedy to her if he were.

After all, she was raised by the Reeds. What would she even do if she was trapped between them and the biological

father who ruined them?

Was she supposed to continue helping them seek revenge?

Or was she supposed to give up seeking revenge and return to her father’s side?

No matter which path it was, Sonia had no way of choosing.

If she chose the former, she would be cast aside by society as the demon who could harm even her biological

parents.

If she chose the latter, she would still be cast aside by society as the traitor who abandoned the foster parents who

treasured her.

That was why either path was a dead end for her. The only thing she could do was entirely dissolve the enmity

between the two families in the most peaceful way possible.

As for what the most peaceful way was, it would be giving up her life in exchange for the dissipation of the feud

between the families.

As long as Sonia died, she would not need to seek revenge on behalf of the Reeds.

As long as she died, the Grays would perhaps recognize that they had wronged the Reeds, choosing to let

everything go and atone for their past sins. After all, the Reeds had raised her.

That way, not only would she not need to face her biological parents, but she would be able to make up for the

wrongful treatment of the Reeds. No one else would need to pay for this feud with their lives—only her.

How ideal that would be!

Of course, before all of that, Titus Gray and his wife would need to be her biological parents.

Since they weren’t, Sonia didn’t need to worry about what problems would arise from the feud between the Grays

and the Reeds. With a clear conscience, she could plunge the blade of revenge into the Grays on behalf of the

Reeds.

On that note, Zane had mentioned the establishment of a business investigation team. In Seafield, it would be

investigating the Triforce Enterprise and one other business.

By now, the investigation team had reached the neighboring city of Fredburg, and they would be at Seafield by the

next month and begin investigations on Triforce Enterprise.

There was definitely something fishy going on at the Triforce Enterprise.

If the skeletons in its closet were dug out next month, would Titus get so angry that he perished on the spot,

especially now that his health was so poor?

At the thought of that possibility, Sonia couldn’t help feeling gleeful.

Ding!

Just then, the elevator reached its destination.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed the emotions in her heart and exited the elevator with the paper bag in hand.

Once she returned to her apartment, she began making the stew.

By the time the stew was made, it was nearly 1 PM.

With a thermos in hand, she drove all the way to Paradigm. Co..

At first, she had wanted to deliver it to the Fuller Group right away, but had received a phone call from Daphne in

the middle of the trip telling her that there was an important document that urgently needed her signature. With no

other choice, Sonia could only return to the company.

“Chairman Reed.”

“Good afternoon, Chairman Reed.”

After she walked through the front doors of Paradigm Co., all of the employees she met on the way stopped to

greet her.

In response, she nodded with a smile at all of them.

Very quickly, Sonia reached the top floor, whereupon she stepped out of the elevator to see Daphne waiting by her

office door.

As she waved at Daphne, the latter smiled. “Good afternoon, Chairman Reed.”

“G-Good afternoon.” Sonia then coughed with some embarrassment.

While she was able to calmly respond to the previous employees’ greetings, she wasn’t able to achieve that with

Daphne, since Daphne knew the reason she had only just arrived here.

That was why Sonia felt somewhat awkward as she was responding to her secretary.

However, Sonia was gradually growing a thicker skin now compared to before. As long as she didn’t meet Daphne’s

eyes, she could more or less pretend nothing had happened and open her office door with false indifference.

Since Sonia hadn’t been to the office in a couple of days, there was a stuffy smell inside.

Immediately, Daphne walked over to the windows and opened all of them to allow fresh air through.

Dropping her purse, Sonia smiled at Daphne. “Thank you.”

With a shake of her head, Daphne answered, “There’s no need to thank me, Chairman Reed. This is part of my job.”

“That may be so, but it still wouldn’t be polite.” Sonia smiled and pulled out her chair to sit down.

Walking over to stand in front of her desk, Daphne suggested, “Perhaps you should give me a key so that I can help

you tidy up your office if you’re unable to come for a few days, Chairman Reed.”

The words instantly made Sonia’s face heat up. “What do you mean, ‘unable to come for a few days’? Don’t speak

nonsense.”

Watching her with amusement, Daphne continued, “I’m not speaking nonsense. Haven’t the past two days been

proof?”

Feeling her cheeks warm even further, Sonia stared at the secretary who had rendered her speechless.

Finally, pretending to be annoyed, she picked up the plush toy on her desk and tossed it at Daphne. “I see you’ve

grown bold enough to tease me now.”

Meanwhile, Daphne smoothly caught the toy and returned it to the desk with a smile. “Don’t be angry, Chairman

Reed. I was only joking. But to tell you the truth, you’re looking rather fine today.”

“Oh?” Sonia felt her own cheeks.

Daphne nodded. “Yes. There’s a blush on your cheeks that makes you look much prettier than usual, all thanks to

President Fuller.”

“What does it have to do with him?” Not having caught Daphne’s meaning yet, Sonia raised her eyebrows.

It wasn’t until she noticed Daphne watching her silently with the tiniest hint of a smile that Sonia suddenly

understood what her secretary was implying.

And just like that, the blush that had barely faded came back in full force. Annoyed and exasperated, she glared at

her secretary. “If you keep up with this, Daphne Robinson, I’m going to get really angry.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll stop.” With a smile, Daphne waved a hand to indicate that she would behave.

Sonia harrumphed in response. “Now give me the document.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Daphne rubbed her cheeks and reverted to her usual no-nonsense, school teacher demeanor before

handing the document over.

As Sonia accepted the document and signed it, she instructed at the same time, “By the way, please have someone

deliver this to Fuller Group in a minute.”

She tapped the thermos next to her with a pen.

Pushing her black-framed glasses up her nose, Daphne inquired, “Is this for President Fuller, Chairman Reed?”

Instantly, she guessed correctly.

With a glimmer in her eyes, Sonia simply nodded and told the truth. “Yes. As you know, he was in a car accident the

other day and although he wasn’t severely injured, I still wanted to make him some stew in case his body needed

supplemental nutrition.”

There was no way she would admit to the real reason she thought he needed ‘supplemental nutrition’ being the

previous night and not the car crash.

If she said such things out loud, Daphne would no doubt begin another round of teasing.

That’s why Sonia chose to remain silent.

Sure enough, Daphne accepted her reasoning at face value and didn’t ask any further questions. Instead, the

secretary simply picked up the thermos. “I’ll have Andrew drop it off, since he’ll be passing by later.”

“Thank you. Do as you see fit.” Sonia nodded and handed the signed document back.
