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

Chapter 962 Sham

On his way to the dressing room, the phone in his pocket rang. Without stopping in his tracks, Toby took his phone

out and answered the call after taking a glance at the caller ID. "What is it?"

Upon hearing Toby's question, the caller, Tom, immediately answered, "The person we've set to keep an eye on

Connor Salzburg has just sent word that he has gone out this afternoon."

"Where to?" Toby's expression turned gloomy.

At the other end of the line, Tom adjusted his glasses before he replied, "Campbell Residence."

"Campbell Residence?" Toby narrowed his eyes. "Why would he go there? Does Connor have connections with the

Campbell Family?"

The Campbell Family was a long-standing family that had settled in Seafield hundreds of years ago. They were

different from all the other merchant families, as they were a family of scholars. Furthermore, with each and every

one of the Campbells keeping a low profile and practicing restraint, their reputation in Seafield was exceptional.

They wouldn't get too acquainted with the other families as well. In short, the Campbell Family gave off an aura of

independence unlike the other families in Seafield.

However, everything had its exceptions, as the Fuller Family was on decent terms with the Campbell Family. The

main reason for this was that the late Old Master of the Campbell Family had worked under Toby's grandfather,

Norman, as a security officer.

During the warring era, Old Master Campbell once took a bullet for Norman. Although the bullet would not have

been fatal, as it wasn't aimed at either the head or heart of Norman, Old Master Campbell's action in using his own

body to block a bullet for others was courageous like no other. It was for this reason that the Fuller Family had

always looked out for the Campbell Family. Furthermore, Toby knew the Campbells well, including their interpersonal

relationships. Besides the Fuller Family, it was unlikely for the Campbell Family to have a connection with the

Salzburg Family.

However, the fact that Connor had gone to the Campbell Family made Toby reconsider his understanding of the

Campbells. He had even considered that they had hidden their connection to Connor and that they were connected

right from the start. Should that be the case, Toby would have to consider whether to continue supporting and

looking out for the Campbell Family.

Although Old Master Campbell had taken a bullet for Norman, this debt had been repaid by the Fuller Family. In the

past, Norman had bailed the Campbells when they were forced to the farms, as they were marked as a scholar

family. It was at that time that the Fullers had fully repaid their debt to the Campbells. As for the reason why the

Fuller Family continued to look out for them, it was merely out of the friendship between Norman and Old Master

Campbell. After all, the Fullers were fully capable of supporting the Campbells and were never skimpy with them.

Decades passed, and supporting the Campbell Family had become a habit that the Fullers did not bother to change.

However, if the Campbells went behind Toby's back and got involved with Connor Salzburg, then they would see just

how merciless Toby could be. Toby could be merciful in giving his support to them, but he could absolutely not

tolerate the people under his protection to be secretly in contact with someone that the Fuller Family had problems

with. This was the very action of biting the hands that fed them!

Tom, on the other end of the line, knew not of what was on his president's mind, but he could hear the change in

Toby's tone when he had reported to him that Connor had gone to the Campbell Family. After all, Tom was privy to

the relationship between the Fuller Family and the Campbell Family.

"Don't worry, President Fuller. They do not have a connection with each other," Tom hurriedly replied while he shook

his head, as he did not wish for Toby to misunderstand the situation. "I am aware of what you're worried about.

After I'd gotten word that Connor went to the Campbell Residence, I immediately investigated whether the

Campbell Family had ever been in contact with Connor all these years. In the end, the result of the investigation

was that the Campbells did not have any contact with any other families besides the Fullers. It is unlikely that

Connor has been in contact with them prior to this."

When he heard his assistant's explanation, Toby's darkened expression softened slightly. "Good." It seems that the

Campbell Family has kept their loyalty and did not wrong us, Toby thought. "Did you find out why Connor went to the

Campbell Residence?" he asked with his lips pursed.

Tom nodded. "Naturally. Since I've determined that they have no prior connection, I would naturally turn my

investigation to the reason Connor went to the Campbell Residence."

With a light grunt, Toby's tightly pursed thin lips slightly loosened, as Tom had given a satisfying answer to his

question. "Speak." Toby indicated for Tom to report on the result of his investigation.

After acknowledging his president's question, Tom said in a serious tone, "So far, Connor himself has not left the

hotel, but our people have reported that his assistant has gone out several times. We found out that the assistant

has been going to several famous private investigation agencies. We've contacted the owners of these agencies to

find out the reason for Connor's assistant's visit. From the owners, we learned that Connor has been searching for

the late Madam's grave for the past few days."

"What?" Toby's expression slightly changed. "Looking for my mother's grave?"

"Yes." Tom nodded.

This prompted Toby to laugh in exasperation. "He wants to pay his respect to my mother?"

"I believe so." Tom then lowered his head. "Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to search for Madam's

grave? Hence, I believe that Connor met with the Campbell Family for this matter, and left the residence after 2

hours there. When he left, I immediately contacted the current head of the Campbell Family to ask about the

purpose of Connor's visit. The family head told me that Connor had asked him about the location of Madam's grave,

as the whole of Seafield knew just how close the Campbell Family was with the Fuller Family, and even more so

when compared to the Coleman Family. It would not be a stretch to say that the Campbell Family knew the Fuller

Family the best. Since Connor could not get any information regarding Madam's grave from the investigation

agencies, he would naturally turn to the Campbell Family about it. Nevertheless, he was destined to have made the

trip for nothing."

After all, besides Toby and Grace, the only other person who knew the location of the grave was Tom. No one else

knew about it. Hence, it was impossible for Connor to find the information about the location of the grave no matter

who he sought—even if the ones he sought were the Campbells who knew the Fullers best.

Toby's smile became much more shrewd and frightening. He cared not about the later portion of Tom's report, as

he focused on the earlier portion of the report. "He still has the gall to seek my mother's grave? Not only that, but

he has the audacity to pay respect to my mother?! Does he think that he would be expressing his love for my

mother by doing something this insolent? Ridiculous!"

If Connor had really loved Valerie, then he would have come straight out to stop the marriage proposal from the

Johann Family by announcing his relationship with her back then. Instead, he did nothing but only watched how

Valerie struggled to resist all the way up to her marriage to Homer from the sideline like a coward.

It would have been fine if that was the end of the matter. Yet, Connor had the gall to incur Valerie and to subject

her to some ridiculous agreement that Connor himself had not abided by, as he had numerous affairs. Not only did

he have an illegitimate daughter, but he had also even agreed to marry someone else the moment Valerie was

about to run away from the Fuller Family. That was the last straw that broke the camel's back, as he drove Valerie

into taking her own life out of despair.

It had been 20 years ever since Valerie's death, yet Connor had never asked about Valerie, nor did he come to

Seafield to pay his respects. In these 20 years, he had acted as though Valerie had not existed in this world as he

continued to have a free and easy life in Westsanshire.

After 20 years had passed, only now did Connor finally come to Seafield to pretend to search for Valerie's grave to

pay his respects. Toby hadn't once assumed that Connor did all these out of his love for Valerie since he knew that

Connor's love for his mother was just superficial. If Connor had truly loved her, he wouldn't have done all those

despicable things to her. Right now, all Connor was doing was satisfying his own ego.

He was just another hypocrite, another sham of a person!
