Chapter 954 He Has to Kill Her
Toby was really treating Sonia well and thought about her before he did anything. She also knew that he wanted to remarry her with all his heart, but now, she really couldn’t fulfill his wish. Hence, she felt guilty upon seeing his disappointment and felt that she was taking advantage of his kindness by constantly refusing to marry him again.
Seeing Sonia blaming herself, Toby smiled and rubbed her head, messing up her hair. “Don’t feel bad. As long as you have the intention of remarrying me, that’s enough. As for when, it’s just a matter of time, and it doesn’t matter if it takes a long time as long as you don’t regret remarrying me.”
“I won’t.” Sonia grabbed Toby’s hand and looked up at him with a serious expression. “As long as you don’t do anything to hurt me, I won’t regret it.”
Toby lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “Don’t worry, I won’t give you the chance to regret. All right, get in the car.”
Saying that, he let go of her and opened the car door behind her again. Sonia nodded with a smile before bending over and getting into the car. After Toby closed the door, he went around the front of the car to the other side and got into the driver’s seat, then made a phone call. When Sonia saw him placing his phone to his ear, she immediately kept quiet to not disturb him. Soon, she found out who he was talking to. He called Tom and ordered him to arrange some bodyguards for her. He had only said a few minutes ago that he would arrange for bodyguards to come over, and was immediately doing it now. From this, it was clear how much he cared about her.
She believed that as long as she told him about the spare parts, he would immediately look for Connor to help her solve her problem. However, she wouldn’t do that. If she did, she would easily get used to relying on him in the future. By then, if something happened, the first thing that would come to her mind would be him. Over time, she would lose the ability to handle things by herself. Besides, she knew how to solve this matter now, so there was no need to tell him.
“What are you thinking about?” Meanwhile, Toby had already finished the call and was about to drive. When he turned around, he saw Sonia was sitting with her head lowered, as if she had something on her mind.
At his voice, she jolted, her eyes trembling slightly, before she came back to her senses, then shook her head at him and smiled. “No, it’s nothing. Let’s go.”
As she didn’t want to say more, Toby didn’t force her either. He started the car with a hum and drove her in the opposite direction of Bayside Residence.
As soon as the two of them left, a black Mercedes-Benz immediately drove out of Paradigm Co.’s parking lot and stopped where their car had just been parked. The window of the driver’s seat opened, revealing Asher’s gloomy and wrinkled face. He placed one hand on the steering wheel while the other held a lighted cigarette and balanced on the edge of the open car window. His eyes were full of venom as he stared at the direction where Sonia and Toby had left.
“Huff…” Asher took a puff of the cigarette and exhaled, the smoke covering his increasingly hideous and terrifying face.
He hadn’t expected that he would get into such a big fight with Sonia just by getting in between the two of them. Although everyone knew that he and Sonia harbored a grudge against each other, they knew that one of the two would eventually lose to the other. Not only that, but everyone was secretly guessing when he and Sonia would come to blows.
Yes, everyone knew that there would be a final battle between him and Sonia. Although things seemed to be peaceful now, it was just because the time wasn’t right yet. Sonia had gotten rid of most of his power, making it absolutely impossible for him to fight with her, so he could only cause a little trouble for her in secret to see if he could heavily damage her power. At the same time, he was secretly restoring his own power so that he could confront her one day and win.
However, he never expected that he would become impulsive after hearing that the two were thinking of getting married, and started getting in between their relationship without caring about the consequences. Then, he completely angered Sonia, making her hold a grudge against him and setting her mind to deal with him once and for all. Although he didn’t want to, Asher had to admit that he had gotten a little carried away after seeing that Sonia had no means of teaching him a lesson after he had caused so much trouble for her, and had forgotten that she was not a pushover anymore.
In any case, he had truly made the wrong move today. It was foolish of him to completely burn bridges with Sonia before he had fully restored his power. But now, there was no way for him to make up for it, and she was already preparing to deal with him. Hence, what he had to do now was to prevent her from succeeding. He was indeed not her opponent right now, but he didn’t want to be driven out of Paradigm Co. either, as acquiring the company had already become his obsession. He couldn’t imagine being chased out of the company, for he might lose his mind. Therefore, he had to find a way to kill Sonia. Only by having her dead would Paradigm Co. become his.
The more he thought about it, the crazier he became, and his hands soon trembled with excitement. Even as the cigarette ash fell on the back of his hand, he didn’t feel the heat at all.
Then, he threw the cigarette butt out of the window and took out his phone. After taking a deep breath, he dialed a number and said, “Hey, I need you guys to do something for me. We can negotiate the price…”
Meanwhile, Sonia had no idea that after she left, Asher had already made up his mind to kill her. She opened the door and got out of the car. As she looked at the private design studio in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel a little dazed. “Why did you bring me here?”
“After Anya destroyed your dress, didn’t I say that I’ll handle the rest?” As Toby pointed at the design studio in front of him, it was clear what he meant.
Sonia blinked. “So, the dress is already ready, and you brought me here to try it on?”
Toby nodded. “Yes, the owner of this design studio is the world’s top fashion designer, but she did not join any luxury brand as a designer, so she was unable to earn a brand name for her designs. However, she’s still extremely well known in the fashion industry across the world, so even if her designs aren’t supported by a luxury brand name, there are still people looking for her to design dresses, and her designs are worth as much as the luxury brands, or perhaps even more.”
“I know.” Sonia nodded. “Because there isn’t any pressure from the top luxury brands, designers can fully comply with their own wishes and create only a single item in the world for each design. Hence, the value of these dresses will naturally be higher, and they would be even more worth collecting.”
If a designer joined a brand, they had to work for the brand and could only do as the company said for the most part. For example, if a designer came up with a beautiful dress and only wanted to make it one of its kind in the world, the brand would be unhappy and force the designer to make duplicates of the dress. Not only would this bring down the value of the dress, but it would also affect the designer’s confidence and inspiration. Hence, not every designer was willing to work for a brand.
“That’s right.” Hearing Sonia’s words, Toby gave her an approving glance.
Upon seeing him praise her, Sonia felt quite satisfied, as though she were a child who had gained their parents’ recognition. She was really going crazy. She shook her head and hurriedly tossed this feeling out of her mind, or her relationship with Toby would turn odd.
“What’s wrong?” Toby asked worriedly at the sight of Sonia’s disgusted expression.
Sonia was a little afraid to meet his eyes and hurriedly replied with a wave of her hands, “It’s nothing!”
“Really?” Toby narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
