Nevertheless, Oscar was also impressed by Connor as no one was able to get ahold of his weakness despite everyone knowing that he was a bad person as well as all the bad things that he had done.
That alone was enough to make one feel impressed.
It was important to note that people would somehow leave a trail or a hint behind when they did something, but not Connor.
This was enough to show how cautious and manipulative he was, and no one could do anything about it.
Upon hearing what Oscar said, Sonia inhaled deeply. "I can't believe that Mr. Salzburg is such a cunning man. Wouldn't that mean that Carl got injured for nothing?"
Since there was no evidence that Connor harmed Carl, it would mean that Carl had no reason to get revenge on him.
"Not necessarily." The corners of Toby's lips curled up into a cold smile while Sonia watched. He then said, "Don't forget that Lucius is not a good man as well. His main personality and alternate personality are both cunning, and he definitely won't sit and allow anyone to harm him without getting back at them. Even if he has no evidence, that doesn't mean that he won't get revenge on Connor since there are situations where evidence can be disregarded."
She couldn't argue against what he said.
It’s true that evidence isn't necessary when he already knows who harmed him. I need to think outside the box.
"However, we shouldn't worry about how Lucius is planning to return Connor's gesture. Instead, Connor's
style of operating makes me believe that he's the Fuller Family’s enemy!" Toby suddenly clenched his fists and exclaimed with a dark look on his face.
Sonia looked at him. "How so?"
"Twelve years ago, my father was murdered in a hotel overseas, but no evidence regarding the murderer was found, so the case has gone cold until now. The car accident that I got into a few months ago was the same as well. Although it was obvious that someone rammed into me on purpose, no evidence regarding the person behind the accident was found, so the case was also put aside for the time being.” Toby met Sonia’s gaze. "Both cases had no evidence or hints regarding the perpetrator. Up until this point, who else could do these without leaving any trail other than Connor Salzburg?"
"That makes sense!" Sonia came to a realization and quickly nodded. "The modus operand! of the perpetrator is exactly the same as Connor, and considering the grudge he's holding against your family, your suspicions might be legitimate."
Toby clenched his fists harder, and the cracking sound of his knuckles rang out. "If he's really behind these cases, I'll make sure that he pays with
his life!"
His face was cold, and the rims around his eyes turned red. Toby's voice was extremely chilling and terrifying when he made that statement.
To him, Connor wasn't just his father's murderer. Connor was indirectly related to his mother's death as well.
Although Toby's mother committed suicide, it happened because of Connor, so Connor was responsible for both his parents' death.
I won't let Connor off easily just by taking his life!
Noticing that something was off with Toby, Sonia quickly held his hands and consoled him. "Calm down, Toby. Don't you remember your advice to not let hatred consume your rationale? Why are you becoming like this as well?"
Upon hearing the woman's voice, he slowly came back to his senses.
A pang of guilt hit him when he saw Sonia's anxious look, and he apologized in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry for scaring you like that."
Sonia shook her head. "It's fine. I wasn't scared. I was just worried about you."
Toby pulled her into a hug. "I'm fine. I just lost control of my emotions just now."
"I know. That's why I was worried." She patted his back gently.
