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

Chapter 1003

"He's only helpful in situations like this." Toby parted his thin lips and remarked on Zane.

"If Mr. Coleman knew you looked down on him so much, President Fuller, he'd probably get angry." Tom pushed his

glasses.

"And I should be afraid of that?" Toby gently raised his eyelids.

When Tom heard that, he quickly waved his hand and clarified, "No, no. You've misunderstood, President Fuller. That

is not what I mean."

"Then, shut up," Toby chided while frowning.

Shrugging, Tom then made a zipper motion with his mouth and stopped speaking.

Meanwhile, Xander dashed into the audio-visual room in the suite without knocking and simply pushing the door

open. The room was dark and only the movie screen shone brightly.

The screen was showing a black-and-white film from the 1920s and the babble of singing came from the

gramophone on the side, giving the entire AV room the appearance of a horror venue.

Connor sat on the single sofa in the center of the screen, dressed in a white suit. He closed his eyes, swayed his

head and fingers to the music and listened intently to the musical.

Xander approached Connor carefully while glancing at the drama film on the big screen and taking in his

surroundings. Even though he had seen similar scenes before, he could not help but shiver in fear at that moment.

Too bad, Xander was terrified of ghosts and not of anything else. Not to mention how playing black and white

movies with horror special effects and soundtracks in an originally dark AV room heightened the dread.

"Hello, Mr. Salzburg," Xander greeted Connor respectfully and bravely approached him while lowering his head.

Connor, who was grooving to the music, came to a halt. The next moment, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at

Xander in front of him. His pupils constricted, indicating that he was clearly bothered by the guy's interruption in the

midst of his entertainment.

"What's the matter?" Connor inquired quietly after taking a sip of red wine to calm himself.

Although he was able to suppress his anger, Xander could still sense his boss' rage, so he lowered his head. "Mr.

Salzburg. Big news. Toby has arrived."

When Connor heard this, he stopped swirling his red wine and raised his head to look at Xander. "What exactly did

you say? Toby Fuller is here?"

"Yes." Xander nodded and added, "He's right outside. He has brought his assistant with him to see you."

Connor tightened his grip on the wine glass upon hearing this. He was silent for a moment before speaking again,

"Did he tell you why he'd come to see me?"

Connor and Toby both believed that they would meet one day, but clearly, it was not now; not when it was a bad

timing seeing that neither of them was prepared.

Still, he was not surprised when he realized Toby made no statement or moves after so many days, despite being

aware of Connor's arrival.

Out of his expectation, Toby appeared at this precise moment.

This exceeded his expectations.

He picked up the remote control and pressed the pause button, bringing the movie on the screen to a halt.

He then stood up, accepted his dragon-head walking stick from Xander before lightly squeezing it and asked, "Did

Toby mention why he wanted to see me so suddenly?"

"No... I inquired, but they both remained silent. Instead..." Xander replied with a shake of his head; his face revealed

a hint of rage midway through his sentence.

Connor squinted his eyes as he noticed it. "Instead?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Salzburg," Xander quickly apologized before continuing, "Their attitude is terrible. They come to see

us, but they are extremely arrogant. Tom even threatened me that if I don't bring you to meet Toby right away,

they'd break in forcefully.

That's truly revolting of them."

After hearing Xander's explanation, Connor's face darkened but not to the point where he was about to erupt in

rage. Instead, he just grimaced and asked, "What's there to be angry about? He has a higher social standing than I

do regardless in Seafield or Westsanshire. I should have paid him a visit, not the other way around. Now that he has

taken the initiative to come see me, he must display some arrogance in order to suppress me. Otherwise, it will

imply that he is afraid of me. Therefore, there's no need to be upset. If I were in Toby's shoes, I'd do the same."

"Yes." Xander bowed before remaining silent.

"Perhaps Toby did not come for the grudge between me and him," Connor rubbed the dragon head carved on his

walking stick.

"Do you mean Toby is here because of the woman, Miss Reed, Mr. Salzburg?" Xander stared at him, puzzled.

"That is most likely it. We shouldn't meet now to air our grievances. Toby, after all, has yet to discover anything. If I

were him, I would only meet to declare war after conducting an extensive investigation."

"What if Toby is here because of something he discovered, not because of the woman?" Xander was unsettled.

"If he could, he would have found it a long time ago and would not have been suspicious until now. Do you get it?"

Connor said somberly.

After meeting Connor's cold and piercing gaze, Xander lowered his head in fear and quickly replied, "Yes, I

understand."

"I don't want to hear any discouraging words from you again," Connor warned sternly.

Xander nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Salzburg."

Only then did Connor avert his gaze and said, "I'm still confident when it comes to how much Toby has discovered.

On the other hand, he must have come to me at this point solely for Sonia's sake because the issue with her

missing parts has yet to be resolved. Today is the deadline and if it is not met, she will face serious consequences.

Last night, I spoke with Sonia and she stated that she has a solution. However, I haven't heard anything about it

from the people we sent to keep an eye on her, so the ostensible solution could be to rely on Toby."

"That is why he showed up!" Realization hit Xander. "Now it all makes sense. If so, then Toby must genuinely care

about Sonia."

"It may not be the case though." Connor stated as he gripped his cane, "Assisting Sonia in solving the problem does

not imply that he cares about her. After all, Sonia is one of them and when something bad happens to Toby's

people, he naturally lends a helping hand. Furthermore, such a problem is not difficult for him to resolve. All he has

to do is show up. As a result, even if he doesn't love her, he can't stand by and watch her suffer. This will only

embarrass himself once the words are out."

"You're right. Toby's willingness to come forward to deal with such a difficult matter demonstrates his concern for

Sonia," Xander analyzed as he pushed his glasses.

"Alright. That's enough. Let's not get into that right now. I should meet Toby since he's here. We should greet him

before he breaks in. If that happens, I'll be the butt of everyone's joke," Connor uttered while rubbing his temples.

"Yes," the assistant responded quickly before following his boss out of the AV room.

After exiting, Connor sat on the sofa in the living room with his legs spread apart and his cane positioned between

his legs. He placed his hands on top of the dragon-head and lowered his head slightly, making it impossible to

decipher what he was thinking.

Xander, on the other hand, went to open the suite's door.
