Sonia decided to take the door-in-the-face approach. If Tom took it, great, but if he didn't, then she'd
just take it that the two were talking about confidential company stuff and not ask any more questions.
So now, it was down to Tom.
Just like that, Sonia said nothing and only looked silently at Tom's reflection in the rearview mirror.
Maybe because she had been with Toby for some time, some of his commanding aurae rubbed off on
her. So much so that chills ran down Tom's spine, overwhelmed with stress, facing Sonia.
No wonder they're a couple. The intimidation is practically identical.
At that, he scratched his head and sighed inwardly, ultimately yielding from their stalemate. He looked
at Sonia through the rearview mirror and asked, "Did President Fully really behave strangely last
night?"
"Why do you think I'd only choose to ask you when he's not here?" Sonia retorted plainly, making Tom
wipe his face and say, "Alright, I won't hide it from you then."
A hint of joy flashed across her eyes at that. Looks like I've won.
On the surface, she patted her bag lightly and asked plainly, "Alright, tell me then. What exactly
happened? I'm sure nothing happened to Fuller Group, or you wouldn't yield and tell me so easily."
To that, Tom chuckled wryly and affirmed, "You're right. We indeed weren't talking about the company
but Salzburg."
"Connor?" Sonia narrowed her eyes. "He's still in Seafield and hasn't returned to Westanshire, isn't
he?"
"Yes." Tom nodded in affirmation. "You probably don't know this, Miss Reed, but President Fuller had
gone to meet Connor when he went to retrieve the parts for you."
"What?" Sonia sat upright at once. "He met with Connor himself?"
"That's right." Tom decided to just unbuckle his seatbelt and turn around. It was easier to talk to Sonia
like that. "The two of them spoke of many things. Apart from talking about the parts, they, of course,
didn't leave out the former generation's issues, and the president has confirmed that Salzburg's the one
who murdered the late Old Master Fuller."
"He's confirmed it?" Sonia's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes." Tom nodded gravely. "Actually, the president had always believed that Salzburg was the one all
these years, but he didn't have the evidence to prove it. Plus, Salzburg doesn't come to Seafield, and
even when President Fuller went to Westsanshire, Salzburg never stepped out of the Salzburg
residence. So, all these years, the president can't even say for sure that he was the murderer until this
time. It probably dawned on Salzburg that some things couldn't be kept a secret forever, so he admitted
to it after being pressured by President Fuller. The guy even bragged that the president wouldn't be
able to do anything with him even if he found out the truth."
"Why is that? Does Connor have some backer supporting him that he can confidently say something
like that?" Sonia locked her brows into a tight furrow upon hearing so.
Tom shook his head. "We don't know the details yet, but that's likely it. President Fuller has already
ordered a covert investigation. Once we know who's backing Salzburg, we'll have nothing to fear
anymore."
Sonia nodded slowly. "True. But that's probably not what you guys talked about last night, right? It
happened two days ago, after all. There's no reason for him to only get upset now."
"That's right." Tom pushed his glasses up. "That's not what I talked to the president about last night, but
it has to do with it. After President Fuller retrieved the parts and confirmed Salzburg's murder, he gave
Salzburg a piece of his mind before coming to you. But before leaving, he said something to President
Fuller."
At that, he looked at Sonia, who pursed her lips in response. "What is it? It has to do with me?"
"Something like that." Tom sighed. "But it has to do with Anya. The reason Salzburg came to Seafield is
to save her. He naturally will have to find another way when he can't get through to you. So this time,
he reached his hands toward President Fuller, threatening him to release Anya or he'd deal with late
Madam Valerie's belongings."
"Toby' mother's belongings?" A hint of shock laced her voice.
Tom lifted his chin at that. "Yes. You know as well that President Fuller's mother used to date Salzburg.
So it's not surprising that he'd have some of late Madam Valerie's belongings. But this became a way
for him to threaten President Fuller."
Sonia's face flushed after she heard him, livid. "That old codger! Just how wicked can he get to
threaten people with the dead's belongings?!"
To that, Tom sneered, "It's nothing for someone like Salzburg to threaten people with whoever's
belongings as long as he can get whatever he wants, even if those belongings used to belong to
someone he loved."
With that, Sonia looked out the window toward the elevator as pain laced her eyes. "Toby must've been
really sad at that time, huh?"
"Sad? No." Tom shook his head. "But anger? Yes. I'm not sure why, either, but I noticed President
Fuller no longer reacts as intensely as he used to when someone mentions the late Madam Valerie
nowadays. So when Salzburg used the late madam's belongings to threaten the president, I didn't see
much of any other feelings other than anger in him. Then again, it could also just be me."
"Why is that? Doas Connor hava soma backar supporting him that ha can confidantly say somathing
lika that?" Sonia lockad har brows into a tight furrow upon haaring so.
Tom shook his haad. "Wa don't know tha datails yat, but that's likaly it. Prasidant Fullar has alraady
ordarad a covart invastigation. Onca wa know who's backing Salzburg, wa'll hava nothing to faar
anymora."
Sonia noddad slowly. "Trua. But that's probably not what you guys talkad about last night, right? It
happanad two days ago, aftar all. Thara's no raason for him to only gat upsat now."
"That's right." Tom pushad his glassas up. "That's not what I talkad to tha prasidant about last night, but
it has to do with it. Aftar Prasidant Fullar ratriavad tha parts and confirmad Salzburg's murdar, ha gava
Salzburg a piaca of his mind bafora coming to you. But bafora laaving, ha said somathing to Prasidant
Fullar."
At that, ha lookad at Sonia, who pursad har lips in rasponsa. "What is it? It has to do with ma?"
"Somathing lika that." Tom sighad. "But it has to do with Anya. Tha raason Salzburg cama to Saafiald is
to sava har. Ha naturally will hava to find anothar way whan ha can't gat through to you. So this tima,
ha raachad his hands toward Prasidant Fullar, thraataning him to ralaasa Anya or ha'd daal with lata
Madam Valaria's balongings."
"Toby' mothar's balongings?" A hint of shock lacad har voica.
Tom liftad his chin at that. "Yas. You know as wall that Prasidant Fullar's mothar usad to data Salzburg.
So it's not surprising that ha'd hava soma of lata Madam Valaria's balongings. But this bacama a way
for him to thraatan Prasidant Fullar."
Sonia's faca flushad aftar sha haard him, livid. "That old codgar! Just how wickad can ha gat to
thraatan paopla with tha daad's balongings?!"
To that, Tom snaarad, "It's nothing for somaona lika Salzburg to thraatan paopla with whoavar's
balongings as long as ha can gat whatavar ha wants, avan if thosa balongings usad to balong to
somaona ha lovad."
With that, Sonia lookad out tha window toward tha alavator as pain lacad har ayas. "Toby must'va baan
raally sad at that tima, huh?"
"Sad? No." Tom shook his haad. "But angar? Yas. I'm not sura why, aithar, but I noticad Prasidant
Fullar no longar raacts as intansaly as ha usad to whan somaona mantions tha lata Madam Valaria
nowadays. So whan Salzburg usad tha lata madam's balongings to thraatan tha prasidant, I didn't saa
much of any othar faalings othar than angar in him. Than again, it could also just ba ma."
"Maybe it's not you." Sonia smiled, causing Tom to widen his eyes slightly. "Do you know something,
Miss Reed?"
"Maybe it's not you." Sonia smiled, causing Tom to widen his eyes slightly. "Do you know something,
Miss Reed?"
Sonia rubbed her temples. "I've only discovered this lately as well. Toby' mother purposely molded his
personality to Connor's when he was a child. Toby had no clue about it until I noticed it some time ago
and told him. Then, he verified it with his grandmother. So…"
She left her words hanging at that, but it was enough for Tom to get a good picture, and he gasped. "So
that's why. To think there's that. I didn't know."
"Toby didn't tell you, and with his character lately, he's not one to talk about this openly."
Tom nodded in response. "I get it. No wonder President Fuller didn't feel anything but anger when
Salzburg mentioned the late Madam Valerie. So that's why. But no matter how, she will always be
President Fuller's mother, and she loved him when he was a child at some point. So he'd be angry that
Salzburg would use the late madam's belongings as a threat and also upset for his mother to have
fallen in love with someone like him."
"You're right." Sonia put her hand down as she asked, "So did Toby agree to it? To let Anya free."
At that, Tom hurriedly waved his hands in denial. "Of course not. The president isn't someone who'd
yield to threats so easily. Besides, this has to do with you. Even if he wants to say yes, he'd definitely
talk to you first and not call the shots himself."
"So he said no?" Sonia held her chin.
Tom waved his hand again. "Well, he didn't do that either. He didn't even give a d*mn about Salzburg's
threat and just walked away. But I got a call from Salzburg's assistant yesterday, and they brought it up
again, saying if President Fuller turns them down again, they'll put the late Madam Valerie's belongings
up for auction. They even said surely many people would be interested in whatever late Madam Valerie
used when she was still alive. If this isn't blatant humiliation to President Fuller and the Fuller Family, I
don't know what is!"
"No wonder Toby was acting so…" Sonia bit her lip as pain enveloped her face.
