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

Chapter 905 They Might Not Be Father and Daughter

Toby pinched his nose while asking in a grave tone, “What happened after that? Has there been any updates from

the police? What did they say?”

Tom shook his head. “Sorry, President Fuller, but there’s no update regarding this. According to the police, Connor

asked to meet Anya alone when he went. The police couldn’t comply with his request to let Anya off, but Connor is

one of the city’s biggest taxpayers, so the police wouldn’t turn down such a small request. Therefore, the police had

no idea what they had talked about during their private meeting. But…”

“Shoot!” Toby frowned in displeasure.

Tom hemmed. Not daring to tarry, he hurriedly continued, “The police officer who took Connor to see Anya gave us

a strange piece of information. He said that judging from Connor and Anya’s manner toward each other, they didn’t

seem like father and daughter; instead, they seemed more like a superior and his subordinate.”

“Oh?” Toby stopped pinching his nose as suspicion showed on his face. “A superior and his subordinate?”

“That’s what the police officer said, but I don’t know the details. I didn’t see it myself, after all,” Tom replied

seriously.

Toby rubbed his thumb and forefinger together a few times. “Did he explain in detail why they seemed not like

father and daughter, but like a superior and his subordinate?”

“He did.” Tom nodded. “According to him, when Connor saw Anya, his face didn’t show the slightest excitement or

joy of seeing his daughter. Even if he wasn’t happy, he should’ve been angry, right? After all, now that his daughter

had gotten into such big trouble, he should’ve been exasperated and disappointed as a father. But Connor looked

neither happy nor angry. When he saw Anya, he looked very imperturbable, as if Anya weren’t his daughter but

someone unrelated to him.”

“Is that so…” Toby mumbled thoughtfully while lowering his eyes. Then, he asked, “What about Anya, then?”

“Anya was strange, too. When she saw Connor, she didn’t react like she was meeting her father; she didn’t look

happy at all. A daughter should’ve been excited and overjoyed to see her father come to save her, right? But she

wasn’t. When she saw Connor, she was only terrified.”

“Terrified?”

Tom nodded. “That’s right. I’ve confirmed it repeatedly, and the police officer insisted that she looked terrified.

People in their line of work would’ve seen all kinds of people, so there was no way he would’ve misread her

expression.”

What Tom said was indeed true, so Toby didn’t ask any further. After a while, he finally said, “Go on.”

“Yes, President Fuller.” Tom continued, “Anya was terrified of Connor from the bottom of her heart. According to the

police officer, Connor had probably done something to her before, which was why she was so terrified of him. And

besides, when Anya saw Connor, she didn’t call him ‘Dad’ or ‘Father.’ Instead, she called him ‘Mr. Salzburg,’ which

was why the police officer wondered if they really were father and daughter.” The father wasn’t happy to see his

daughter, nor was he angry or exasperated by her incompetence. On the other hand, when the daughter saw her

father, she wasn’t excited about being rescued. Instead, she was terrified. This is strange no matter how one looks

at it, right?

Toby narrowed his eyes in thought without saying a word. Anya was terrified of Connor, who had done something

very terrifying to her. Would a father do something terrifying to his daughter? Well, there certainly are such fathers

in the world, but I believe they’re in the minority. However perverted Connor is, he wouldn’t have done anything

terrifying to his daughter—unless they weren’t father and daughter! They aren’t father and daughter, huh… Toby’s

eyes flickered as the idea crossed his mind. That’s right! If they aren’t father and daughter, then all of this makes

sense. “Tom,” he said.

Tom straightened up upon hearing Toby’s words. “Yes, at your service, President Fuller.”

“Try to get your hands on Anya and Connor’s DNA samples,” Toby ordered in a grim voice.

Realizing what Toby meant, Tom immediately asked, “President Fuller, are you suspecting that…”

“Uh-huh,” Toby replied.

Tom took a deep breath. “Yeah, that’s indeed likely. It’s just that I don’t understand it. If they really aren’t father and

daughter, then why are they pretending to be?”

Toby’s eyes darkened. “It’s pointless to think about these right now. We’ll know why once we get to the bottom of

it.”

“Yes, President Fuller,” Tom replied.

Toby massaged his temples. “How did the meeting go after I left?”

Upon hearing his question, Tom instantly rolled his eyes. Oh, President Fuller, so you still remember that you’re the

company’s president and that you’ve left the Fuller Group and the meeting behind, huh? He wished he could throw

this remark at Toby, but he didn’t have the nerve to do so. Therefore, he could only take a deep breath, compose

himself, and reply with a businesslike smile, “Don’t worry, President Fuller. The meeting went without a hitch. After

you left, I gathered everyone and continued the meeting.”

The meeting wasn’t a particularly important meeting where Toby had to be present. In reality, even if Toby—the

Fuller Group’s president—was absent, the meeting could still go on, for the amount of property and money involved

weren’t much. Because of that, Tom had the courage to continue the meeting as Toby’s personal assistant. If there

were many properties involved and the amount of money was huge, Tom couldn’t chair the meeting on Toby’s

behalf, of course.

Upon hearing that the meeting had gone smoothly and ended without a hitch, Toby gave an “Uh-huh” in

satisfaction. “Good to hear that. Well, if there’s nothing else, I gotta go,” he said. With that, he hung up the phone

heartlessly right away.

At the Fuller Group, Tom rolled his eyes as hard as he could as he listened to the disconnect tone on his cell phone.

President Fuller, you can hang up all you want, but before you do so, could you please tell me if you’ll still be

coming to work today? There’s a desk full of documents waiting for you to sign and deal with! He turned to look at

the pile of documents on Toby’s desk before letting out a sigh of distress. There are so many documents, and

they’re all urgent. When is President Fuller gonna come back to deal with them? They’re worth a fortune, a fortune

I say! He grabbed his own hair in frustration.

A while later, however, Tom suddenly calmed down and looked at the pile of documents coldly. Ha! If he’s not

coming back, then fine. It’s President Fuller’s own company, anyway, so the money lost will be his own. Even the

boss himself doesn’t worry about it, so why should I—a mere employee—be worried? At the thought of this, Tom

instantly felt much more relaxed. Then, he walked out of Toby’s office while humming a tune.

Meanwhile, at Bayside Residence, after putting down his cell phone, Toby sat in his chair and linked his fingers

together on the desk before him. The lights in the study were off, and the curtains were closed, so it was very dark

in the study. As a result, Toby was almost shrouded in darkness, which made him seem mysterious and grim since

no one could see his expression clearly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Sonia’s gentle voice rang outside. “Toby?”

Upon hearing the woman call out to him, Toby looked up and took his hands off his desk. Then, he stood up, went

over to the door, and opened it.

Seeing the pitch-dark study, Sonia turned to look at the man before her. She asked with a slight frown, “Why didn’t

you turn the lights on?”

“I forgot,” Toby replied as his thin lips parted.

Sonia didn’t bother to ask if he had really forgotten to turn on the lights or if he had purposely kept them off.

Instead, she asked, “Are you feeling better?” She was referring to whether Toby had swallowed the fact that he was

a substitute.

Toby lowered his eyes. “Yeah, I am.”

“Then what about your mom—”

Toby lowered his eyes and replied impassively, “I don’t blame her for that, but I won’t have any feelings toward her

anymore. Now all I have for her is respect.” Even though his mother was nice to him, he really couldn’t withstand

the fact that she had used him as a substitute. That isn’t something a mother’s supposed to do!
