"Realize what?"
Tom gulped before continuing, "Anya's features closely resemble Miss Reed after going through plastic surgery."
As soon as Tom said that, Toby's expression instantly darkened. "Close resemblance?"
"Yes." Tom nodded. "I'm aware that you don't generally pay attention to the opposite gender, President Fuller, so you might not have realized. However, I was quite curious about plastic surgery, so I paid close attention to Anya's features before and found that her features did closely resemble Miss Reed. Back then, I never suspected Anya's motive for coming to Seafield, so I never brought this up to you. Now that we've come to the realization that Anya's presence in Seafield could be because she was assigned by Connor to spy on you or seduce you, I then recalled this. I suspect that Anya purposely went through plastic surgery and chose features similar to Miss Reed's so that there'd be a higher chance of you being attracted to her. Therefore, her chances of winning your affections would increase subsequently."
However, Anya and Connor clearly didn't expect that President Fuller would only have eyes for Miss Reed and no one else. That's why even though Anya has been in Seafield for quite some time now, President Fuller hasn't taken a close look at her features. Anya and Connor would be enraged to find out! As Tom thought about this, he could not help laughing mockingly.
Meanwhile, Toby remained silent and he seemed to be considering Tom's words about how Anya wanted to clone herself like his precious Sonia. Indeed, he had never taken a good look at that woman, so he had no idea exactly what she looked like. However, he did not doubt Tom's words because Tom was not one to joke about something like this.
As Toby considered the situation, Tom brought up something else. "President Fuller, right now, I'm suspecting that Anya's appearance in front of our car that night wasn't by chance and she must've planned that. Otherwise, how on earth could she possibly have appeared in front of our car at that exact timing? There were other cars there, but she somehow ended up hitting our car. I reckon that Connor must have made Anya to look like Miss Reed and then he sent her to Seafield to try to seduce you. She's just a pawn to him."
Toby pursed his lips and sneered coldly, "I don't care what she's after, but right now, we need to focus our investigation on finding out Anya's true identity. It'd be best if we could get a photo of her before her plastic surgery."
Instinctively, he felt that Anya was a complicated individual too and she might not entirely be just Connor's pawn; she seemed to be hiding a different identity. As such, he had to find out exactly who this woman was, just in case.
"Sure." Tom was not surprised by Toby's instructions and he nodded instantly.
"By the way, send me a photo of Anya after her surgery too," Toby requested.
Tom knew what Toby intended to do. As soon as he hung up the phone, he instantly sent the photo to his boss. Previously, while investigating Anya, Tom had saved her photo on his phone and he had not gotten to delete it, so he could get good use out of it right now.
Toby walked away from the balcony and went back into the living room. He sat on the couch and poured himself a glass of water before checking out the photo that Tom had just sent over to him.
The woman in the photo looked fascinating, and although she had undergone plastic surgery, there was not a hint of knife on her face; her features looked very natural. There was not a single hint of stiffness or unnatural look on her features, as generally seen on those who underwent plastic surgery. Instead, she looked as if she had been born with that face. Evidently, the woman in the photo had spent a fortune on her surgery. Otherwise, how else could she have possibly gained such natural features from the surgery?
Of course, though, as soon as Toby found out that Anya had undergone plastic surgery, he had been curious as to how an ordinary woman like her could have that much money to spend on the surgery. Not only did she go through plastic surgery, but she also had surgery to increase her height. The cost of all these added up was definitely millions and more. After finding out that Anya was Connor's illegitimate daughter, his suspicions were finally dispelled. However, it appeared that Connor was generous enough to be willing to spend that much money on plastic surgery for a woman who was not even related to him.
At that moment, he started to believe that Tom's deductions were right. Anya must be Connor's spy placed in Seafield and she had done plastic surgery in accordance with Little Leaf's features to appear in front of him.
"Ha! You've underestimated me!" Toby deleted Anya's photo. His handsome face was currently adorned with an icy cold sneer and a murderous look in his eyes.
Do they really think that I'm just like other men? Seduced by beauty?
Most men might twitch and go along as soon as a woman signaled with her fingers, but he was the contrary. His upbringing, values, pride, and the feelings he had for Sonia were ultimately the reason why he would never do anything to betray her.
