Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1273

Knowing how stunned Sonia was, Toby suggested she take a sip of water to calm down, which she did.

Her shock finally alleviated a little after taking the sip of water, and she looked at Toby. "How come they're suddenly not biologically related? Did you get the wrong information back then? Or was it the system that was wrong?"

Toby nodded. "The information I got was right. The mistake was in the system itself. Hence, my finding was affected. All Caruns believe in Caruna, and that includes me too. So, I didn't think twice when the government system indicated their biological relationship. It was when I realized something was off during my later searches that I started suspecting if they really were father and daughter. Then, I spend a lot of time investigating. It was only after I got their DNA sample and sent it to a lab that I was certain they weren't biologically related at all."

Sonia gasped in response. "That means Salzburg has connections in the government, doesn't it?! Then, we have to rethink his power. This is certainly beyond our initial calculation. This is much bigger than we had imagined!"

If this is really the case, then Connor is even harder to defeat.

At that, Toby ruffled her hair. "Take it easy. All that has naturally come to me. I've already told the Colemans about this, and they're helping me find out if Connor has men working in these systems and how they are connected to him. He's just a businessman, and none of his ancestors received any government merits. So, if there is solid evidence of him, a mere businessperson, being involved in the government system, I don't have to worry about dragging down two conglomerates and two hundred thousand employees. The government will seize him; I'll just have to fetch him later."

"That means it's good that we realize they're not biologically related." Sonia's eyes lit up.

"More or less," Toby answered.

"But that still doesn't erase the fact that he cheated on your mother," Sonia sneered, her lips quirked.

"Yeah." Toby nodded in agreement. "It has never been the reason I hated Connor any less."

"Come to think of it. Why would he want a stranger for a daughter? Just what is his purpose?" Sonia furrowed her brows.

At that, the man cleared his throat awkwardly, causing Sonia to narrow her eyes in response, looking at him with suspicion. "What's with that look? Don't tell me it has to do with you."

Toby rubbed his nose awkwardly, seeing that she got the key reason so quickly.

"Shut up! It really has to do with you?!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah," he mumbled, knowing he couldn't hide it any longer. Then again, he never really wanted to hide it from her anyway. "He made Anya his daughter and had her sneak into Seafield, but then deliberately hid the fact that she was his daughter so that she could get close to me as his spy and update him about me. Also, he's using her as a honeypot to take me down."

As Toby spoke of the latter, he checked Sonia's gaze gingerly, fearing he'd upset her even if it wasn't his fault. Her feelings mean the world to me, so I must be careful.

And sure enough, the young woman flew into a rage after hearing her beloved's explanation.

That said, she wasn't upset with him but with Connor instead.

"That shameless b*stard," she growled through gnashed teeth as anger burned ablaze beneath her eyes. "To think he can come up with such a dirty trick. Honeypot, my grass! What makes him think he'll succeed for sure?"

Toby isn't some licentious man; how is he so confident that Toby would fall for any woman he sends his way? Salzburg isn't hysterical, is he? Sonia mused contemptuously while Toby remained grim.

Instantly, her disdain was gone, replaced by grave prudence. "Toby Fuller, don't tell me you've fallen for Steinfeld."

At that, he looked speechlessly at her. "What are you thinking about? How can I even?!"

Though relieved, Sonia still appeared less than happy. "Then, what's with the look?"
