Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1135

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."
