Chapter 998

I should have known better; President Fuller behaves oddly whenever Miss Reed is involved. So, why do I seem to

forget this and have to ask him about it? Now, I have to bear all of these sappy moments.

At this very moment, Tom was feeling queasy as a direct result of his boss excessive display of regard for love. It

was as though he needed to ingrain it in his memory to keep from asking questions that he should not be asking in

the future. If not, he would suffer emotional harm nonetheless.

I am still a single man. What if I eventually lost interest in the process of looking for a girlfriend for myself? When

that day finally arrived, I would be miserable.

While pondering this, he rubbed his cheeks while simultaneously preventing a series of profanities from exiting his

mouth. To preserve his professional demeanor, he smiled and asked, "President Fuller, what should we do with that

old git now?"

When Toby opened the door, he was met with the sight of a large parking lot. Keeping his eyes on a nearby car, he

walked toward it and said, "Keep him in for now. We will have more use for him in the future."

"Noted," Tom said calmly.

Toby hopped in as Tom walked to the driver's side to take over. "Are we going to Paradigm Co. to see Miss Reed,

President Fuller?"

"No." Toby narrowed his menacing eyes. "To Connor's hotel."

Tom's hand froze as he heard that, just as he was about to start the engine. He turned his head in astonishment. "To

Connor's hotel? Are you going to meet him, President Fuller?"

Toby's rage was overlooked due to his downcast gaze. "Isn't it appropriate for me to pay my guest a visit after he's

been here for so long? Furthermore, he has no right to exploit Sonia after his actions."

Even though he nodded his head in agreement, Tom was annoyed. "It is inappropriate of him to steal components

from the Paradigm Co. to blackmail Miss Reed into releasing Anya. Even smaller companies do not employ such

petty practices. If he weren't the head of the Salzburg Family, he could easily be mistaken for a lowly underling.

How could he use such horrible measures to threaten a woman? He disgusts me."

Indeed, it was repulsive. Even though business people often resort to deceit and conspiracies, it is highly

uncommon for someone to sink to the lowest of the low to take advantage of some smaller companies. Despite

their superior resources and might, they reject the idea of resorting to this dishonorable solution. On the other

hand, Connor does not appear to be the least bit embarrassed by his actions.

Hearing his assistant's critics, Toby slightly raised his gaze. "It's not surprising for him to do that. The fact that he

shares a past with my mother is enough to tell that he is a complete jerk."

Tom smiled sheepishly. "You're right, President Fuller. As I've expected, you're the best at criticizing a scumbag. I

have more to learn from you."

Toby ignored his flattering words while looking down. "Regarding Little Leafs components, have you found out

where Connor moved them to?"

Tom kept his eyes on the road and shook his head. "Nope. Although I haven't looked into it thoroughly, I believe it is

still in Seafield. The old git from the underground reports that Miss Reed cooperated with him to purchase twenty

tons of components. With such a significant quantity, it would be impossible to transport it out of the city in three

days owing to the sheer number of procedures required. After discovering that Connor had taken Miss Reed's

company components, I made a personnel inquiry with the various checkpoints. They informed me that no such

components were being transferred out of the city, indicating that the parts are still within the city."

Toby's brows relaxed as he heard this. "That's good to hear."

"Don't worry, President Fuller." Tom turned the steering wheel. "Since we know what Connor did to Miss Reed, we

will try to loosen his tongue until he reveals the location of the components."

Toby glared at him. "Are you telling me what to do?"

How could he sit idly by while Sonia was bullied and her belongings were stolen when she was his girlfriend? It was

logical for him to act to retrieve what she had lost.

Tom grinned as he adjusted his glasses. "I just wanted to let you know, President Fuller, that I'm worried you will be

upset. The bullying of Miss Reed has put you in a bad mood, and I only mean to cheer you up a little. It's been three

days and she still hasn't informed you about it. We wouldn't have discovered Connor stole the components from her

company if we hadn't tracked his assistant to the two companies she cooperated with. I'm curious about what she's

thinking. I thought you two had reconciled. Why hasn't she asked you for help? Is it because she can solve the

problem on her own?"

Toby's thin lips pursed as he maintained his silence, making it impossible to decipher his thoughts. Despite this, it

was not difficult to ascertain that he was in a foul mood due to the gloomy air around him. Yes, he is in a bad mood.

As Tom had said, they wouldn't know what was happening at Paradigm Co. if they didn't find out where Connor's

assistant was going that day.

When Toby spoke with Sonia over the phone three days earlier, he became concerned when he observed a change

in her tone and questioned her about it. However, she assured him nothing had transpired and that it was only a

misunderstanding with Asher.

Now, he knew it wasn't Asher's fault; Connor had stolen the components, which had set off her bad mood. She used

Asher as an excuse to keep him in the dark about what was happening.

Toby took her word for it because nothing significant was happening. It was only now that he realized the depth of

the panic and anguish she'd been hiding behind her grin. Without a doubt, Paradigm Co. would suffer a devastating

loss if she could not retrieve the components.

Having realized this, he rubbed his forehead while experiencing conflicting emotions of sadness and rage. He

couldn't believe Sonia had kept it a secret from him, and he was furious about it. Toby was well aware the entire

time that she wanted to handle some issues on her own without depending on him to help her. He supported her

decision by limiting his interference in her business and personal concerns. This would prevent her from becoming

angered and turned off by him.

In many conversations with Sonia, he emphasized that she should not feel bad about asking for help from him, as

though doing so would indicate an unbalanced dynamic between them.

After all, Toby was her man and naturally wanted to assist her. Moreover, she was still fragile and needed his

support behind the scenes.

He knew, though, that she would never listen because of her stubbornness, which came from her strong desire to

prove that she was capable and could do well without his help.

As it turned out, she was still too naive to see through a lot of things. That was the reason why things were not

going according to plans. But when he saw her dazzling eyes light up with confidence as she said she could do it, his

heart softened, and he let her do everything she wanted.

The facts made it clear to him that his actions were wrong because Connor had exploited the situation to his

advantage.
