Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1263

If Sonia had heard the complaints of these ladies, she might feel amused. In fact, she might even thank them for helping her out. However, neither she nor Toby knew about this little episode.

Anya was facing Toby, her mind buzzing.

She was shocked Toby would say she wasn't Connor's daughter. Her back was drenched with sweat, and she could feel her skin sticking to the fabric. Even with the heater turned on, she still felt chilly, and her heart was thumping furiously.

Impossible. Why did he say that? Does he know? Did he find out I'm not Connor's daughter? Or is this a bluff? She had no idea how much he knew, but she didn't let her guard down. She held her wheelchair's armrest tightly and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "What do you mean, President Fuller? I don't understand what you're talking about. Would you please elaborate?"

She stared deep into his eyes, trying to see if he was bluffing, but he was inscrutable. She couldn't find any answer she was looking for, and it annoyed her to no end. Damn you, Toby. Still as mysterious as ever.

"Don't try to call my bluff. I know what you're trying to say. You and Connor claim to be father and daughter, but do you think I wouldn't look into it myself? My sources say your claims are false. There are three possibilities for that. First, you lied to Connor, and he still doesn't know you aren't his daughter, but that's nigh impossible. You aren't smart enough to trick him, after all.

"So, this leaves us with two other possibilities. One, he asked you to be his fake daughter, but you are unaware of his plan, so you think you're his real daughter. The second possibility shares the first part of the first situation, but you know you aren't his real daughter, yet you agreed to the deal for some reason. And guess what? The look on your face just now has told me the last scenario is the answer."

Anya's face fell as soon as he stated his deduction, panic filling her eyes. "You…"

Dammit. He knows the truth. Does he know that I… No, he can't possibly know that. If he knew, he would have me arrested before I could get a hundred yards near him. I can still get away from this. Stay calm. Don't panic. If he notices that I'm panicking, he will find out the truth. Then, it's game over. Anya told herself to calm down and recomposed herself in case she showed more fear than she should.
