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

Chapter 54

Toby’s expression darkened when he

heard that Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Charles glided toward them soon after that and came to Sonia. “Baby, are you alright?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

“That’s good to know,” Charles muttered and he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he reverted to an impatient tone and yelled at the person on the slope, “Hey! Miss Gray, can you hurry up?”

As soon as Tina arrived by skis, he rudely retorted, “I saw everything that happened,

so don’t you dare deny it! You shoved

Sonia!”

“My vision was kind of blurry because of the helmet.” Tima bit her lip and apologized to Sonia. “I’m sorry for accidentally shoving you, Miss Reed.”

“Sonia was right in front of you and she wasn’t standing by the side. You would have been blind to not see her!” Charles held up his arm and waved it in front of Tina’s eyes. “Miss Gray, have you gone blind? Do you need me to refer you to a

doctor for treatment?”

“That’s enough!” Toby said with a displeased tone. “I just saved Miss Reed and Tina has also apologized to her.”

However, Charles revealed a cold smile

and countered, “President Fuller, you’re

clearly aware of how steep this trail is.

Meanwhile, my baby is just a beginner in skiing. If no one had come to her rescue after Miss Gray’s shove, she would definitely have broken a bone if she had rolled down the hill.”

“Can I assume that your girlfriend attempted to murder Sonia?”

“Charles, stop being so aggressive!” There was a tinge of redness in Tina’s eyes due to the anger she felt and her voice

trembled slightly as she mumbled,

“Honestly, I didn’t see her earlier. If you’re

unable to let go of this then I can ski

downhill right now and Miss Reed can

shove me as revenge.”

“Okay!” Charles agreed right away, “You

can head uphill right now and let Sonia

shove you. I’ll be there to save you then we’ll be even.”

Speechless, Tina leaned against Toby and revealed a weak, pitiful look on her face.

Sonia noticed Toby’s darkened expression and it seemed that he was angered by Charles’ persistent aggressiveness. And so, she tugged on Charles’ arm. “Come on, let’s head back.”

However, Charles was significantly

displeased as he shouted, “I don’t want to

go yet! You‘ve already gotten a freaking divorce with Toby. Besides, his girlfriend is being a bully! Are you going to continue being a doormat?”

Upon hearing that, Sonia got close to him

and mentioned in a low voice, “The details regarding the takeover of Continental Co. were given to me by Zane.”

Zane and Toby had a close relationship. The former would have no qualms about following all of the latter’s instructions and

would choose to disregard their collaboration if requested by the latter.

Sonia didn’t intend to let Tina get away with this either; however, she was much more reluctant for Toby to get involved and prevent her from taking over

Continental Co.

Charles quickly weighed out the pros and

cons on his mind as soon as he heard her

words. In the end, he snorted coldly but he significantly toned down. However, he

turned around and flipped the two of them off before leaving

Angered beyond words, Tina thought to herself, I‘ve never met a guy as scathing and as despicable as Charles!

Just then, she noticed Toby’s expression, which was as cold as ice, and she explained softly, “I was too engrossed in skiing so I didn’t notice Miss Reed in front

of me. I apologized to her but then I didn’t

expect Charles to be so aggressive.

Ahem!”

She leaned forward and coughed several

times, her face turning paler than before.

Toby couldn’t bear to keep up his cold

demeanor upon noticing her pallor and he

took her into his arms. “I’m next to you so he wouldn’t dare to do anything to you. The most he could do is attack you verbally. It’s too cold here. Let’s head back to the hotel.”

“Okay.” Tina wrapped her arms around his waist and smiled faintly.

It was already 5 PM when Sonia and Charles arrived back at the hotel.

She dropped by the front desk and was

told that Ryan was currently in the gaming room, so she went to see him by herself, Just then, she utilized Charles’ usual shameless behavior and explicitly revealed to Ryan her plans to take over his company

and that the price was negotiable.

However, despite her efforts, he was quite

stubborn and refused to agree to her terms. Finally, he muttered in a frustrated tone, “I don’t care how much you’re willing to offer but I’m not going to sell the company! You should leave.” Then, he chased her out of the gaming room.

Meanwhile, Sonia was left standing there with a massive headache. She was just

about to call Charles to come over and

help her but then she realized that based

on Ryan’s current attitude, the other man

would most likely be unable to convince

Ryan even if he utilized his glib tongue.

Besides, she wouldn’t be able to gain

learning experience if she didn’t take the

initiative to handle discussions personally.

Just then, Sonia recalled the man and she

tapped into her Messenger. She found his

contact number and fired off a message. Have you dealt with Ryan Drew, the boss of Continental Co., before? He’s quite difficult to deal with. He doesn’t seem interested in talking to me no matter how

much my offer is.”

After sending the text, Sonia suddenly wondered, Why am I asking this guy?

Wouldn‘t it be better if I asked Zane?

Sonia tried to recall her message but time had lapsed and this option was no longer

available.

Just then, the man replied to her message.

Z-H: ‘Ryan is an arrogant man and he

doesn’t like having strangers interfering in

his company. He doesn’t want his

comnanvta homananed hu another

contact number and fired off a message. Have you dealt with Ryan Drew, the boss of Continental Co., before? He’s quite difficult to deal with. He doesn’t seem interested in talking to me no matter how

much my offer is.”

After sending the text, Sonia suddenly wondered, Why am I asking this guy?

Sonia tried to recall her message but time had lapsed and this option was no longer

available.

Just then, the man replied to her message.

Z-H: ‘Ryan is an arrogant man and he

doesn’t like having strangers interfering in

his company. He doesn’t want his

comnanvta homananed hu another

company to be managed by another company. Previously, he went into talks with another company regarding a merger, but he refused the offer because the other party requested to take over the operation side.’

Z-H: ‘He doesn’t have a great relationship

with his dad so you should tackle things from this aspect

Sonia managed to grasp the meaning

behind his short sentences.

Sonia: ‘In my offer, I should specify that he gets to retain his rights to operate the company without any interference. Then, 1 could request for higher stakes in the shares obtained or perhaps, I can provoke him by mentioning his dad.

Sonia: ‘I won’t delete your contact. Why don’t you retain my contact too? It’s good to have you as a friend. You’re knowledgeable and it’s just nice because

lack a mentor for guidance.’

Sonia: I’ll compensate you for your time. In the future, if I come to you with any questions, you can decide on the price for

each question

In the hotel room, Toby revealed a frustrated smile upon reading the multiple messages sent by Sonia.

He had casually decided to provide her with a piece of information because she had helped Tyler but now, this woman was taking advantage of the situation and

making excessive requests.

After quite some time, he finally replied to her: ‘Sure. Alright.’ Sonia: ‘You have such extensive knowledge; plus, you’re a kind guy. You’re just as cute as your profile picture.!

Just then, Toby grimaced. He didn’t even want to look at her message and logged out of their chat. Then, he dialed Tom’s

number

On the other end, Tom answered the phone quite quickly. “President Fuller, is there anything that you need?”

“I had a Messenger profile that you

managed previously.” Toby frowned. “There are so many pictures that you could

have chosen, but why did you choose one with a goose?”

Tom replied tactfully, “The goose looked quite cute and I thought it would make you seem more approachable.”

Toby remained silent upon hearing that.

“President Fuller, you’ve been using that profile for quite some time now. Why didn’t you change the picture if you were uncomfortable with it?” Tom tried to

indirectly hint that he was not at fault. “I could show you how to change it right now if you don’t know how to”

“That’s not necessary!” With that, Toby directly hung up on Tom.

During dinner, Sonia made her way to

Ryan’s table with Charles.

She took a seat across from Ryan and smiled faintly. “President Drew, there are quite a few empty seats here. Would you mind if my friend and I joined you at your table?”

Ryan kept his head lowered while he ate

and ignored her

“I know that you’re the founder of Continental Co. and the company is your baby.” Sonia kept both of her hands folded on the table and she mentioned smoothly, “After we take over Continental Co.,

promise you that you’ll be the ultimate

decision-maker for the running of the

business. Continental Co. will be a

separate entity and I won’t assign any

management team to monitor your work.”

Ryan lifted his head to glance at her upon hearing that. “Who coached you on

negotiating this way? Was it your ex

husband?”

Upon hearing that, Sonia was caught by

surprise.

Ryan placed down his cutlery and revealed an unhappy expression. “Your ex-husband had his eyes on my company all this while. He assigned multiple staff on his management team to ask me out and

negotiate terms. I was quite annoyed by all

his pestering, which is why I came

overseas for a short ski trip. Then, you

ended up here!”

overseas for a short ski trip. Then, you ended up here!”

“President Fuller and I have been divorced for quite some time now. I obtained the details regarding the takeover of Continental Co. from another friend.” Sonia explained to him, but she started to

suspect something was amiss. He said

that all of this was also mentioned by people from the Fuller Group, but I was coached on this by Z– H. If this is true, then could it be possible that the man from that

night... Could he be Toby?
