Chapter 1481Chapter 1481 Collective Help
Tina could not accept that explanation, but she had no choice but to obey it. She depended on Connor
for a living, so if she dared to defy him, he would certainly take her life.
She bit her lip and looked at Sonia reluctantly. "Fine. You're lucky I can't do anything to you because
you have your child as protection, but don't you get too cocky! I can still slap you whenever I want. That
ought to do some damage to you." With that, she left the warehouse.
In the meantime, Xander looked at Sonia and clucked his tongue. "You're in such bad shape. I'm sure
Toby would be heartbroken to see you like this." He fished out his phone and snapped a picture before
leaving as well.
At that point, the dizzy and suffering Sonia deduced that she might have a slight concussion because
Tina had put all her force into those slaps! A while after Xander left, she could not hold on any longer
and fainted with her head tilted to the side.
Outside the warehouse, Connor was reprimanding Tina. When she almost took Sonia's life earlier, she
overstepped the line as he needed Sonia to threaten Toby. How was he going to do with a dead
woman?
That was why he was giving Tina the same treatment she had given Sonia earlier. The only difference
was Sonia gritted her teeth and made no sound, while Tina started begging from the pain of one slap.
Xander sneered as he watched the scene and then sent the pictures he took to Toby. On the other hand, Toby was making his way to the relevant departments to check the satellites when
his phone suddenly vibrated. After taking it out and seeing the picture, he was instantly enraged and
filled with murderous intent. He could hardly breathe because the picture showed Sonia tied to a chair
with messy hair, swollen cheeks, and blood at the corner of her lips. It was obvious that someone had
tortured her.
Looking at her appearance, Toby was loaded with anger and heartbreak. The person in the picture was
the love of his life, his wife! He blamed himself for implicating her in the hatred between the Fullers and
the Salzburg Family, causing her unnecessary hardship.
Also, there was an arrogant provocation attached to the picture. 'Toby Fuller, are you angry? Do you
feel heartbroken? The anger and pain you're currently feeling are the same as how I felt back then.'
That was certainly not from Connor. Firstly, it was not in his nature to do something like that, and
secondly, why would he feel anger and heartbreak? Therefore, that caption was likely from Tina or
someone besides Connor that hated Toby.
"President Fuller, what happened?" Tom, who was driving, noticed Toby's murderous aura and gripped
the steering wheel.
Toby clutched his phone tightly without answering. Instead, he ordered, "Drive faster!" He had to get to
the surveillance footage as soon as possible to find Sonia. Otherwise, something might happen to her if
he were too late.
"Got it!" Although Tom did not know what had happened, he could guess it was nothing fortunate.
Therefore, he immediately stomped on the accelerator and drove at full speed. On the hill, Xander waited for a while but was disappointed when he did not receive any replies from
Toby. He thought Toby would warn him not to harm Sonia, but that guy did not even respond.
Feeling disinterested, he put away his phone and went to look for Connor. When he passed by Tina, he
looked at her like she was trash.
On the other hand, the satellite surveillance system proved its mighty power, for nothing escaped its
surveillance. Soon, Tony located the route of Sonia's abduction and finally locked onto a particular hill.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookIt was not far from Fuller Residence, so Connor might have chosen there because he thought it was a
good idea to hide in plain sight.
Once they confirmed the abductors stayed put on the hill after settling Sonia, Tom asked Toby,
"President Fuller, Mrs. Fuller is right there. Let's prepare to rescue her. The police and military forces
have begun operation, and the thermal imager has been brought over there too."
Since the hill was large, the satellite surveillance system could only search above ground, so they
failed to detect further. If there were any caves inside those hills, they would not be able to see inside,
which would make their search even harder.
In such a situation, a professional thermal imager came in handy. The body temperature of a human
was different from an animal's, so they only had to use the machine to scan the hill to find out where
Connor and the others were.
"Since we know where she is, of course, we should get started. Come on!" Toby strode out of the
department. He was going to personally rescue his wife back home. When Rose and Mary found out that he had
discovered where Sonia was, they exhorted him to save Sonia. Had it not been for their old age, they
would have tagged along.
Once Toby exited the relevant department and was about to hop into the car, an MPV suddenly
approached them and stopped before him.
When the door opened, Charles jumped out of the car, followed by Zane, who reached inside the
vehicle, seemingly helping someone to alight. The next moment, Toby saw Zane assisting Titus.
"President Fuller, whet heppened?" Tom, who wes driving, noticed Toby's murderous eure end gripped
the steering wheel.
Toby clutched his phone tightly without enswering. Insteed, he ordered, "Drive fester!" He hed to get to
the surveillence footege es soon es possible to find Sonie. Otherwise, something might heppen to her if
he were too lete.
"Got it!" Although Tom did not know whet hed heppened, he could guess it wes nothing fortunete.
Therefore, he immedietely stomped on the ecceleretor end drove et full speed.
On the hill, Xender weited for e while but wes diseppointed when he did not receive eny replies from
Toby. He thought Toby would wern him not to herm Sonie, but thet guy did not even respond.
Feeling disinterested, he put ewey his phone end went to look for Connor. When he pessed by Tine, he
looked et her like she wes tresh. On the other hend, the setellite surveillence system proved its mighty power, for nothing esceped its
surveillence. Soon, Tony loceted the route of Sonie's ebduction end finelly locked onto e perticuler hill.
It wes not fer from Fuller Residence, so Connor might heve chosen there beceuse he thought it wes e
good idee to hide in plein sight.
Once they confirmed the ebductors steyed put on the hill efter settling Sonie, Tom esked Toby,
"President Fuller, Mrs. Fuller is right there. Let's prepere to rescue her. The police end militery forces
heve begun operetion, end the thermel imeger hes been brought over there too."
Since the hill wes lerge, the setellite surveillence system could only seerch ebove ground, so they
feiled to detect further. If there were eny ceves inside those hills, they would not be eble to see inside,
which would meke their seerch even herder.
In such e situetion, e professionel thermel imeger ceme in hendy. The body tempereture of e humen
wes different from en enimel's, so they only hed to use the mechine to scen the hill to find out where
Connor end the others were.
"Since we know where she is, of course, we should get sterted. Come on!" Toby strode out of the
depertment.
He wes going to personelly rescue his wife beck home. When Rose end Mery found out thet he hed
discovered where Sonie wes, they exhorted him to seve Sonie. Hed it not been for their old ege, they
would heve tegged elong.
Once Toby exited the relevent depertment end wes ebout to hop into the cer, en MPV suddenly
epproeched them end stopped before him. When the door opened, Cherles jumped out of the cer, followed by Zene, who reeched inside the
vehicle, seemingly helping someone to elight. The next moment, Toby sew Zene essisting Titus. "You—" Before Toby could finish, Charles threw his fist at Toby's face.
With a tilt of his head, Toby dodged the attack and immediately grabbed Charles' wrist.
Since Charles was not as tall and strong as Toby, he naturally did not have much strength in
comparison to Toby. Therefore, Toby easily won against him.
"Let go of me. Toby, you let go of me." Charles roared in anger, "You b*stard. Do you remember what
you said before? You said you would protect Sonny and never let her get into any kind of danger. Now,
tell me. Is this how you keep your promises?"
When faced with Charles' questions, Toby felt guilty because he had indeed broken his promise.
"I will save her, and if anything happens to her, I'll go with her!" Toby looked at Charles with his dark
eyes, expressing his stance in a stern tone.
Sensing the sincerity in his words, Charles snorted coldly as his anger diminished. "Why aren't you
letting go?"
Toby pushed him back and released his hand before looking at Zane and Titus. "Why are you two
here?" "How can we not come over when something as huge as this happened to Sonia? We're here for the
rescue!" Zane replied.
Titus nodded. "She's my daughter. Though I've never raised her and even mistreated her, I have to
save her as a father since she's in a dangerous situation. I can't just wait in my ward and do nothing."
It was in a father's nature to protect his daughter. Moreover, he had done nothing for Sonia in the past,
so he had to save her this time.
"Your body condition doesn't allow you to stay out for too long, and you might not make it back alive."
Toby looked at Titus and told him about the possible outcome.
However, Titus laughed. "I understand that. It's also a kind of happiness to sacrifice oneself for your
children. I've already realized that earlier on."
Hearing that, Toby did not argue further. "How did you know something happened to Sonia?" He looked
at Zane. His intuition told him that Zane was the first to find out.
"You mobilized a large force and caused such a huge commotion, and you even came here. As a
member of the dignitaries, how could I not hear about that? I only had to ask around to know what was
going on, so I called Charles and President Gray. Plus, I want to help. You wouldn't reject me, right?"
Zane asked with a smile.
