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.”

Sonia didn’t know that Toby was here

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


“What’s wrong?”


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

Sonia scanned the place and saw a

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.”


*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


1


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.
