Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 878

Toby was irked by the look on Oscar's face. He frowned and asked, "So what? Would I be afraid if he came knocking on my door?"

"No, no, not at all. I didn't mean it that way," Oscar hurriedly explained himself to avoid any misunderstandings. "What I mean is, Mr. Salzburg tends to resort to rather unsavory means to get what he wants, so you should keep an eye out for that, President Fuller."

When Sonia heard his explanation, her expression grew serious as well. "What do you mean? Is he going to do something underhanded?"

Toby was also starting to look a little grim as he waited for Oscar's answer.

Oscar continued, "Mr. Salzburg does tend to rely on some underhanded tactics. I don’t know if he would use them on President Fuller, but I do know that in order to meet his goals, he has done so to numerous other influential families in Westsanshire. I had taken a trip to Westsanshire for one of my cases a while ago, and I heard that the Salzburgs are currently feuding with the Hayes."

"The Hayes?!" As soon as Sonia heard that, she straightened up and asked,

"What happened to the Hayes?"

The Hayes were Carl's family. She did not care which personality was in charge of his body right now. To her, he was still the Carl that she knew. Since the news involved his family, she felt the need to pay closer attention to it.

Toby knew why Sonia was suddenly so concerned about what Oscar said. He pursed his lips in slight displeasure, but he did not say anything, nor did he fly into a fit of jealousy either. Maybe he was feeling more secure now, since the words that Sonia said earlier were etched into his heart. He would no longer feel overwhelmed with jealousy.

Oscar was unaware of Sonia's relationship with Carl, so he had no idea why she cared about the Hayes, but he answered her anyway. "The Hayes recently appointed a new head of the family, and he was eyeing a piece of land in Westsanshire that Mr. Salzburg was also keen to get. Neither one of them wanted to give it up, but Mr. Salzburg managed to get it since he had a lot more influence. However, Mr. Hayes was unwilling to let it go, and somehow, right before they were able to sign off on the transfer of land ownership, Mr. Hayes convinced the owner to sell it to him instead of Mr. Salzburg. Because of this, Mr.

Salzburg threw a fit and the next day, Mr. Hayes was injured."

"What?” Sonia stood up with a stricken expression. "Carl got injured?"

"Carl?" Oscar's brows creased a little.

Sonia replied hoarsely, "Carl, also known as Lucius Hayes, is the new head of the Hayes family, and also my younger brother."

"I see." Oscar nodded in realization.

At first, Toby was rather annoyed by the fact that Sonia seemed so worried over Carl's injury. She was showing too much concern for him. Her reaction now was even bigger than it had been when she heard about the Hayes earlier. He might be feeling a little more secure and was not about to fly into a fit of jealousy, but he was still a little upset. However, when he heard the word 'younger brother', his brows unfurrowed and his mood immediately got a lot better.

He was just her brother.

A brother would be nothing more than a brother. So what if he had some tricks up his sleeve? If Sonia saw him as a brother, then Carl would never be anything more than a brother to her in this life!

Why should he care about a brother? He was going to become Carl's brother-in-law, so why would he get jealous over his younger brother?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he got. His lips began to curl up again and it was clear that he was in a good mood.

On the other hand, Sonia was not aware of Toby's internal monologue.

She was preoccupied with the news of Carl's injury.
