Chapter 963
Tom nodded to express his anger at Connor as well, as he shared Toby's opinion that Connor's behavior was
ridiculous. To Tom, Connor was not the source of hope for the late Madam, as he drove her to take her own life.
Even after her death, Connor gave no care and had not come to Seafield to pay his respect all these years. No one
would think he was being affectionate now that 20 years had passed, but rather, they would only think that Connor
was just putting on a show to satisfy his own ego.
Perhaps Connor did feel some guilt when he heard the news of Valerie's suicide 20 years ago. After all, Connor did
immediately cancel his then-upcoming wedding. Nevertheless, the guilt he had was definitely superficial. Otherwise,
why did Connor not come back to Seafield to pay his respects for 20 years? Now that he wished to pay his respects,
Tom assumed that Connor was probably only doing it for the sake of clearing that tiny guilty conscience of his so
that he could continue his easy and free life. Such a man is truly a disgrace, Tom thought scornfully.
"Besides the investigation agencies and the Campbell Family, did Connor meet anyone else to ask about my
mother's grave?" Toby asked in a chilling voice with his eyes narrowed.
Tom immediately collected his thoughts before nodding. "He did. After failing to seek information from the
investigation agencies, he had invited the Coleman Family to meet but was rejected by them. It was only then
Connor went to the Campbell Family."
"The Coleman Family obviously wouldn't accept his invitation." Toby sneered. "Although there was no evidence to
the things he did back in Westsanshire, everyone there knows about the truth to it. Since the Coleman Family has
always been an honest and upright family, it would be unlikely for them to want to involve themselves with a man
like him. But I digress, was there anyone else?"
"No. No more." Tom shook his head, but had hesitation in his tone, as he suddenly remembered something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtImpatient, Toby said, "Talk."
"Right," Tom immediately replied. With his hesitation gone, he continued, "I was just thinking if Connor had gone to
the Johann Family. Considering the fact that the Johanns are in Westsanshire and that the Fuller Family has not paid
any attention to them for so long, we would be none the wiser should Connor have met with them."
Toby snorted. "What would be the point? The current Johann Family is no longer related to my mother. They weren't
even invited to my mother's funeral back then. It would have been pointless for Connor to meet with them. It would
be just another wasted trip for him."
"That's true." Tom nodded.
"Anything else?" Toby rubbed his temple.
Tom cleared his throat before he replied, "Nothing else. That is all we have on Connor so far. However, the man we
sent to keep an eye on him has also reported that he has lost track of his assistant once on the day before
yesterday. Although he didn't know where the assistant had gone, he knew that it wasn't the investigation
agencies."
"Investigate him." Toby frowned.
"Understood," Tom replied.
With his thin lips pursed, Toby continued to ask, "Have you arranged for the bodyguards that would replace the
security guards in Paradigm Co.?"
Tom smiled. "Don't worry, President Fuller. I have already made the arrangement the moment you've ordered me
to. I'm guessing that the security guards have been replaced at this time around."
Feeling satisfied, Toby replied, "Good. I'll need you to arrange some bodyguards for the old manor and the Fuller
Residence as well to strengthen the security there. I'm worried that Connor might resort to holding my men
hostage to threaten me into telling him after he failed to find my mother's grave."
"Understood, President Fuller." Tom nodded with a serious expression. "Should I arrange some for Miss Reed as
well?"
"No need." Toby waved his hand. "I've already made arrangements for her."
"Understood." Tom did not pursue the matter, as Sonia was his president's woman after all. Since his president had
told him that it had been arranged, there was no point in worrying, as he was just a mere subordinate.
After that, Toby ended the call and increased his pace slightly.
Not long after, he arrived near the dressing room and saw from afar a woman sitting on the bench with her head
down on her phone; she hadn't changed out of that magnificent red dress yet. Suspicious of the woman's reason
for doing so, Toby walked over and said softly, "Why are you sitting here?"
Upon hearing his voice, Sonia put down her phone and turned her attention toward the direction of the voice with a
surprised expression. "Why did you come over?"
"I was worried since I've waited for some time, yet you still haven't come back. So, I came over to find you." Toby
came to a stop in front of her.
With a smile, Sonia stood up. "What can go wrong when we're inside a store?"
"Many things can go wrong in the blink of an eye. Trouble comes regardless of the location. Even the safest place in
the world would not guarantee one's safety." Toby looked at her with a serious expression.
Looking at the man being serious and preachy, Sonia was amused. "Yes, yes. I get it. But, now that you see I'm fine,
shouldn't you be relieved right now?"
Toby then raised his chin haughtily. "Looks like it, but why are you sitting down here? Weren't you going to change
out of your dress? Where's Sophia?"
"I was supposed to get changed," Sonia answered with a shrug. "But when I came here, something urgent came up
for Sophia. So, I asked her to settle her matters first before coming back to help me out of my dress. That's why I'm
here waiting for her."
Upon her explanation, Toby frowned. "Even if you are being considerate, are you not hungry right now?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I am." Sonia touched her stomach before giving Toby a pitiful expression.
Looking at Sonia's expression, Toby couldn't bring himself to get angry at her. Hence, he pretended to be angry.
"Why did you let Sophia go when you're already hungry? Although you were being considerate to her, why didn't
you give any thought about yourself? Why didn't you give me any thought? What if you faint from hunger?"
The man in front of her had his brow wrinkled while he wore a worried expression. He looked very much like a
mother to Sonia, which made her cover her mouth and snicker. "Alright, alright. You can stop grumbling now. I was
wrong, okay? To be honest, I wasn't even thinking that far. I was only thinking that it wouldn't be nice to
inconvenience Sophia. Plus, Sophia did say it would only take her a few minutes. I can still afford to wait for a few
minutes."
"And how many minutes ago was that?" Toby raised his eyes and gave her a cold gaze.
Sonia stuck her tongue out briefly before she replied, "Maybe she couldn't solve the urgent matter in a few
minutes. Don't mind her, it's okay."
Toby sighed. "I've already told you before, you'll only suffer if you're too kind. See what I told you? Fine, I'll help you
get changed. The earlier you finish changing, the earlier we can go get something to eat." Right now, Toby
regretted bringing her to try the dress out, as he thought that he should have brought her to have a meal first
before coming to try the dress.
"Help me get changed?" Sonia stared at Toby wide-eyed.
Toby frowned. "Why not? Is that not acceptable?"
Covering her chest with her arms, Sonia replied, "What are you saying? You do know that we're not the same
gender, right?"
Hearing Sonia's reason, Toby laughed. "Not only have I already seen you naked, but we've also done the most
intimate deed any couple could do. Helping you get changed is just a small matter at this point."
At this point, Sonia was speechless, as she knew what he said was true. Indeed, there was no reason for her to act
this way, as he had already seen her naked before. Ugh, fine. I am feeling weak from hunger now. I'll be able to eat
earlier the sooner he helps me get changed. With such thoughts, Sonia exhaled lightly before looking at the man
with a slight blush on her face. "Let's go."
"Where to?" Toby asked deliberately while looking at her flushed cheeks with hints of playfulness in his eyes.
