Chapter 7

Looking at Carl being all mysterious, Sonia’s curiosity was aroused. “Tell me where we’re going first,and I will decide whether to go or not.” Carl sighed helplessly. “Sonia, how would it be a surprise if I toldyou?” After seeing his bitter expression, Sonia couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It was at this exactmoment when Toby came out from the door, and he happened to see a man lowering his head andwhispering into Sonia’s ear. He didn’t know what they were talking about. Sonia was smiling so happily,her eyes shining brightly. He was about to get in the car, but he stopped and turned around to stare atthe man and woman coldly, his gaze as cold as ice. After the two of them got married, she had neverlaughed like this. In his ears were her endless nagging, all about trivial matters, and her eyes lookedwary every time she looked at him. He actually didn’t like seeing her this happy; he felt irritated. Whowould have thought that after they got divorced, she seemed to have changed completely; she wasexuding a dazzling light from the inside out. Is it all because of that man? Toby sneered at the corner ofhis mouth. An unfaithful woman who had no self-love was not worth his time at all! “Sir?” Seeing howhis boss hadn’t gotten into the car, Tom Brown carefully called out to Toby. Hearing that, Toby retractedhis gaze and got into the car. “Go back to the office.” Tom wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, buthe felt that his boss was furious, and his expression was so scary… Sonia had just gotten into thepassenger seat, and she saw Toby leave out of the corner of her eyes. As the car was moving, sheonly kept looking at the trees speeding by outside in a daze. Carl saw the desolation in her eyes, andhe calmly suppressed the emotions in his eyes. “Sonia, what are you thinking about?” Sonia regainedher senses and smiled. “Nothing much.” Looking at Carl’s side profile, Sonia thought that his facialfeatures were more prominent, with a somewhat mixed-race look to it. Toby was famously good-lookingback at school, but Carl was not inferior at all. With his wide shoulders, slender waist, and long legs, hewas even comparable to international supermodels. “Uh… why did you choose the modeling industryanyway?” Sonia once thought that with his good grades, he would embark on a career in academia.“Well, I had a random audition at the beginning, but I didn’t realize that after that, I would enter themodeling circle just like that.” Looking back at the mirror, he glanced at Sonia and pretended to askcasually, “Why? Don’t you like the modeling industry?” Sonia shook her head, and her gaze was soft.“Not really. As long as you have a good life and shine in your own domain, it’s all the same for me.”

Hearing that, the young man smiled and braked steadily. “We’re here.” In front of them was a ratherretro two-story small western-style building. There was an old man with white hair sitting in a wickerchair sipping on his tea. The old man turned around and smiled at her slightly. “Hello, my girl.” Soniawas stunned, unable to believe who was standing in front of her. The old man sighed. “I’ve heard abouteverything, Sonia. You poor thing.” With teary eyes, she threw herself under the old man’s knee.“Grandpa! Where have you been all these years?” Six years ago, the funds in Paradigm Co. werestolen, and all the evidence pointed to her father. Because of this, not only was he expelled from theboard of directors, but he was also put behind bars. Subsequently, her stepmother and stepsister fledwith whatever money they had left. Everything added together caused her father to take his own life.The old man explained, “I’ve been investigating the theft of company funds back then. I found that itwas related to the Triforce Enterprise; your father was made a scapegoat.” Triforce Enterprise was thelargest real estate company in the city. Its chairman was Titus Gray, who was none other than Tina’sfather. While Sonia was pondering, the old man took out a document and put it in her hand. “Girl, this is51% of Paradigm Co.’s shares. Don’t ask me how I got it, but I know this is what you need right now.”Hearing that, Sonia pursed her lips and looked solemn. “I will replace the person who framed my father andprove his innocence. Grandpa, I will certainly not let you down.”
