This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 1190 The Enemy’s Enemy Is My Friend

Toby’s gaze was filled with so much viciousness that it made Connor realize Toby was not simply threatening with

words. He was serious. If he lied to Toby and was found out, Toby would not hesitate to immediately twist his head

off.

Connor thought that if he had been younger, he would not have been so scared of death. However, as he grew

older, experienced more things, and watched the people dear to him pass away, his courage gradually diminished

and he became even more fearful of death.

The older he grew, the more afraid he was of death; especially with his identity, he was even more afraid of death.

Once he died, he would not have anything left—his position as the head of the Salzburg Family, his authority, and

his money. In other words, he would not be able to enjoy any of that anymore because it would all fall into the

hands of his relatives.

He was not willing to see that happen. He wanted to keep being the head of the Salzburg Family until he was a

hundred years old while still keeping control over the lives of many.

Therefore, I cannot die early. Never!

Lowering his eyelids, Connor avoided Toby’s murderous gaze as that was the only way he could feel less terrified.

“Don’t worry, Toby. I’ve promised that I didn’t lie to you, therefore, I wouldn’t. If you can give me a LoU, I will give

you your mother’s belongings when I receive it,” Connor said.

Pursing his lips into a thin line, Toby was silent for a moment before responding, “Before 5.00PM, I’ll get someone to

bring Anya over here. You’d better keep her in check because if she provokes my woman again, her outcome

wouldn’t be that pretty.”

“Don’t worry. I will.” Connor raised his head and squeezed out a smile.

Seeing that he had achieved what he came here to do, Toby did not want to stay here anymore, so he placed his

hands in his pocket and left while Tom followed behind him.

The two had just taken a few steps forward when Connor’s voice sounded from behind them.

“Toby, I didn’t tell anyone about my situation, so the outside world is still unaware of what I’ve experienced. Since

you’re able to find out about this so quickly, it means you have someone on your side watching me,” Connor stated

while looking at their backs.

Toby stopped walking and so did Tom.

“So, what? Do you still want to cause trouble for me?” A mocking smile appeared on Toby’s face, but he did turn

around and only spoke at the door.

Spite filled Connor’s eyes, but it instantly disappeared. “Of course not. You must be joking. Who in Seafield would

dare to find trouble with you? Isn’t that the same as seeking death? I only wanted to ask you something. Since you

have men watching me, they should have seen the people who attacked me, right?”

“Oh?” With his eyebrows raised, Toby turned around and mocked, “So, you’re thinking of using my men to find out

who attacked you?”

Connor set down the blanket and clenched his fist. “That’s right.”

“You have the wrong person.” Toby sneered, “What relationship do we have? How dare you think of finding clues

from me! Do you think that’s possible? I’m telling you, it’s impossible. I won’t help you. Instead, I’d even help them

cover their tracks. After all, an enemy’s enemy is my friend. You’re so naive to think that you can get something

from me.”

After saying that, he turned back around and left the ward without stopping.

At the sight of the leaving figure, Connor’s face was red yet pale and his chest was heaving as if he could pass out

at any minute.

Villains always lived till the end of the story and he currently looked weak as if he would die at any minute.

However, in reality, it was these weak and sick people who lived for a long time that had the time to cause trouble

for others.

“Mr. Salzburg.” At that moment, Xander ran in with a swollen forehead.

After he called out to Connor, he closed the door, walked toward the hospital bed, and stopped before him.

Tightly shutting his eyes, Connor used a long while to suppress the anger inside him before regaining his

composure. “Have you heard from the people you sent out to investigate this matter?”

Xander lowered his head in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Mr. Salzburg, but they haven’t found anything. You were

attacked in an old alley with no surveillance cameras. Also, I wasn’t with you back then, so I didn’t get a good look

at your attackers. It’s quite difficult to catch whoever did it.”

Although Connor knew what Xander said was true, he was unwilling to accept the truth. At this point, he had no

choice but to move on with it.

Taking a deep breath, he tried not to lose his temper and waved his hand. “Continue on with the investigation.”

“Yes, sir.” Xander secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Connor remained calm.

As long as Mr. Salzburg doesn’t throw a fit, I wouldn’t have to worry about getting implicated.

“Later, head to the police station and negotiate with them. Tell them that Toby has agreed to let go of this matter.

Then, pay the bail in advance. Once Toby’s LoU has arrived, immediately bring it to the police station,” Connor

ordered.

Xander bowed. “Yes. I’ll get on it immediately.”

After acknowledging Xander’s reply, Connor stopped talking and rested his eyes as though he fell asleep.

Noticing the situation, Xander did not dare to disturb him, so he quietly left the room.

Meanwhile, Toby and Tom ascended the car.

Once inside, Toby massaged his temples and asked the same question, “What have you found about Anya and

Connor’s relationship?”

After starting the car, Tom replied, “Since Connor rarely left the hotel, we couldn’t get inside his room, so no DNA to

examine his relationship with Anya. When he was attacked and hospitalized today, the doctors had shaved a portion

of his hair to tend to his wound. Our men picked up some of the bloody hair from the trash and sent it for analysis.

I’m sure it won’t be long before we can get the results.”

Now that he had heard some good news after a long while, Toby’s expression eased a little as he nodded. “Let’s go

back to the company.”

“Yes, sir.” Tom nodded.

Back at Paradigm Co., Sonia had just settled an expedited document and was leaning against the back of her chair

while stretching to relieve her sore back and waist.

Once she was done, she curled up in her chair and refused to move. She wanted to rest for a bit before starting on

the other documents.

“Chairman Reed.” At that moment, the door to her office was knocked twice and a clear female voice sounded.

Sonia looked over and saw that it was her secretary, Rita, standing outside.

Rita was standing in for Daphne while she was recuperating from her operation.

“Come in.” With a smile, Sonia replied and quickly adjusted her posture.

What else could she have done? Her subordinate was here and it would be embarrassing if she was still curled up in

her chair.

What if her subordinate thought that she did not seem like the chairman of the company?

“Alright.” After responding, Rita withdrew her hand from the door, entered the office, and came toward Sonia’s

desk. “Chairman Reed, you asked me to come over and get some documents…”

“Over there.” Sonia pointed at the stack of documents on her table. “Send them over to their respective

departments. I don’t wanna keep them waiting.”
