Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 30

“Yeah... It’s Rina’s death anniversary today...”

Julia’s hands—which were holding the bouquet of baby’s breath—trembled as she was reminded of her eldest daughter who had passed away at a young age. In the end, she couldn’t help but start to cry.

As she was too heartbroken upon losing her eldest daughter, Julia placed all of her attention on the youngest daughter. However, she would still feel her heart wrench every year during Rina’s death anniversary.

“There, there. Let’s not cry.” Titus embraced Julia and cooed, “Today’s not only Rina’s death anniversary, but it’s also Tina’s engagement day. I’m sure Rina would be happy for her sister if she knew Tina is getting engaged.”

Julia was crying so hard that she could even feel her chest hurting. “If it wasn’t for Henry the b*stard, Rina w-wouldn’t have...” Julia sobbed in a choking voice.

Titus’ eyes darkened. “The Reed Family has already been destroyed, and Sonia is the only one left.”

Six years ago, Titus had driven Henry to death and ruined the Reeds in order to avenge his elder daughter’s death. However, he couldn’t lay a finger on Sonia because she had already married Toby at that time. Little did Titus expect that six years later, Sonia would acquire Paradigm Co.’s shares and become the biggest shareholder of the company.

“All Sonia has is Paradigm Co. and nothing else. Dealing with her is going to be a piece of cake.” Titus was heartbroken at the thought of his deceased daughter, and his hatred toward the

Reeds deepened even more.

On the other hand, Julia was hesitant. “Forget about it. She’s Toby’s ex-wife after all. If Toby becomes aware of this, I’m worried it would cause Tina trouble in the future.”

Titus snorted. “Don’t you know why Toby married Sonia? He doesn’t love her at all. If he did, he wouldn’t just sit back and watch the downfall of the Reeds, and he surely wouldn’t just watch Paradigm Co. slip away from him like that.”

“Stop worrying about this matter and leave it to me. Rina had fallen in love with the crown at first sight back then. Ask Tina for it later and keep it well lest Tina should give it away again.”

Julia nodded and stared at the bouquet sorrowfully.

On the other hand, Sonia planned to head back to the office to settle a few urgent documents before going home to rest. The moment she arrived at the office, her secretary informed her, “President Reed, Mr. King from Dwells is here and is now chatting with Mr. Lane in his office.”

Sonia smirked coldly. “I see. I’ll go and take a look.”

Last Friday when they were playing cards at Sakura Heights, Paul had said that he would send someone to bring the contract to Paradigm Co. the next day to sign it, but no one came in the end. Sonia wasn’t a fool; she knew Paul wanted to string her along and wait for her to call Dwells on her own. Fortunately, thanks to Zane, she had found a better business partner for Paradigm Co.

Sonia knocked on Charles’ door and entered his office. Seeing that Charles was making small talk with Paul, she walked up to them and smiled as she greeted Paul, “Hi Mr. King, it’s been a while.” “Hi, President Reed.” Paul stood up and politely shook Sonia’s hand.

After sitting down, Sonia sipped her tea and did not bring up the matter about their collaboration. Seeing so, Paul had no choice but to bring it up. “I’m so sorry, President Reed. For the past few days, I was so busy I couldn’t make it over to sign the contract. I’m here today to make an apology.”

With that, he presented the contract to Sonia and said, “Please take a look at the contract and we can sign it if there’s no other issue.”

Charles frowned and wanted to say something, but Sonia gave him a look and gestured to him to refrain from speaking. Then, she said to Paul, “Mr. King, my secretary told me that she tried contacting you via your office number before this but couldn’t reach you. Because it’s an urgent order and we couldn’t afford to delay, I’ve already contacted another company to handle it.”

“President Reed, my company is the top manufacturer in the country for overseas orders. You claimed that you value the quality of the product, but how could you end up engaging a below-par manufacturer just because you’re rushing to ship the order?” Paul thought Sonia was merely saying so to bargain with him, so he became a little arrogant.
