Chapter 904

Chapter 904 Wanting to Take Action Regardless of Everything Else

Speaking of Grandma… Thinking of his grandma, Toby suddenly remembered how surprised and

relieved Rose was when she first saw him six years ago.

Six years ago, he had just finished his heart surgery and was getting ready to fulfill his promise with Little

Leaf for a meeting. Yet, just before he could do so, he was hypnotized by Miles.

After the hypnotism, there was a drastic change in Toby’s personality. His warm, gentle personality was

replaced by coldness and indifference.

After his change in personality, Toby clearly remembered that there was something nagging at him when

he first met Rose. That nagging he felt was how Rose was surprised over his change in personality yet

never questioned him about it.

Normally, wouldn’t someone ask in a panic about the reason for such a drastic change in personality? To

ask the person whether something had happened in their life?

However, Rose did not. After a moment of being taken by surprise, she immediately held Toby’s hand

and wouldn’t stop telling him that it was a good thing for this to happen.

At the time, tears welled up in Rose’s reddened eyes. He knew that those tears were from her emotions

of joy. Although he couldn’t understand why Rose reacted that way at the time, he knew better now.

Perhaps Rose already knew the truth behind his old personality—how his personality was nurtured by

his mother to be just like Connor’s.

That was why Rose was relieved by the change in his personality and had told him repeatedly that it was

a good thing for him. But a few months back, when he had somewhat returned to how he was in the past

after that car accident, Rose’s eyes were filled with anxiousness, though she herself said nothing at all.

He always thought that the anxiousness Rose had then was due to the injuries he sustained from the car

accident. Looking back on it now, perhaps her anxiousness stemmed from the possibility of him turning

back into how he was before, and that he would return to his old self. Clearly, she did not wish for Toby to

return to being a stand-in for Connor.

Rose’s thoughts were the same as Sonia’s, which was why he could say with certainty that both his

grandmother and Sonia loved him.

As long as they were with him and always filled him with their love, he could stop rejecting himself and

doubting himself over being made into a stand-in. Furthermore, he would no longer need to care about

what his mother’s thoughts were or his mother’s love tainted by other feelings.

Now, he could let go of his feelings for his mother as there were people that truly and sincerely cared

about him. Naturally, though he overcame his doubts and wouldn’t hold any grudges against his mother

since she was ultimately the one who gave birth to him, he would never forgive Connor.

Absolutely not!

The true master?

I will let Connor know that no one else in this world is the true master of the Fuller Family!

With his fists clenched tightly, Toby was filled with bloodlust as his eyes turned crimson red. At this

moment, his phone in his pocket rang. With the ringing of his phone having somewhat dispersed the

stifling air in the room, Toby loosened his fists and took his phone out.

Seeing that it was his assistant, Tom, calling, he walked over to his desk and answered the phone. “What

is it?” He sounded indifferent.

“President Fuller, bad news. Connor Salzburg is in Seafield.” Tom’s tone was laced with stress on the

other end of the line.

Toby murmured in assent. “Yes, I already know of it.” He pulled out a chair and sat down.

Tom was shocked by his president’s reply. “You knew?”

Toby pursed his lips. “He was here for Little Leaf. It was Little Leaf who told me about it.”

Tom immediately understood his president’s explanation. “So that’s what happened when you took the

phone call from Miss Reed back in the conference room.”

Back then, Tom was also present in the conference room and was also aware of Sonia’s phone call to

Toby. After all, Toby’s phone was with him at the time as he was responsible for his phone, which was

why he would be the first to know of any incoming phone calls. If it was somebody else that had called,

he would have immediately ended the call and wouldn’t have notified his president as Toby hated

answering calls during a meeting.

But Sonia was the exception.

That was why when Tom saw it was Sonia calling, he immediately passed the phone to Toby. Sure

enough, Toby answered the call without any hesitation. When Toby did, his face wore a gentle

expression that gave everyone in the conference room goosebumps and shocked them to the bones.

Tom had initially thought that the others in the room would see his president’s humble side as Toby would

try to please Sonia through the phone. After all, Tom knew that men would bend over backward to please

their lovers once they fell in love. Not even the great Toby Fuller could escape this love spell.

Just by looking at how Toby was grinning from ear to ear when he knew that it was Sonia on the phone,

Tom knew that his president would bend over backward for Sonia.

However, contrary to Tom’s expectation, the others in the room did not witness his president’s side of

trying to please Sonia, but saw his president’s expression going through a drastic change while staying

silent. Right after Toby ended the call, he grabbed his jacket and left the conference room in a hurry.

Recalling how dark his president’s expression looked, it still frightened him greatly until now.

As Toby’s assistant, Tom should have left with him as well. However, he stayed back and continued to

chair the meeting as it was still ongoing. That was why Tom was in the dark about what Sonia had told

Toby for Toby’s expression to change that much and for him to be that angry.

He assumed that Sonia might have gotten into some trouble, such as being involved in some sort of

accident. However, he realized now that it was the news of Connor Salzburg arriving in Seafield, and that

the man had even gone to meet Sonia.

Toby firmly believed that Connor was his father’s murderer, while Sonia was someone that had a special

place in Toby’s heart.

It was to be expected for Toby to undergo such a change the moment he heard of the two meeting. With

his anger mixed with his worries over Sonia, Toby naturally couldn’t sit still and left the room in a hurry.

After figuring out the incident back at the conference room, Tom hurriedly asked with concern, “President

Fuller, is Miss Reed alright? Did Connor harm Miss Reed?”

“No.” Toby shook his head slightly. Should Connor dare touch a single hair on Sonia, Toby would go to

war with the Salzburg Family regardless of any national laws, let alone thinking about the numerous

people that would be made jobless and homeless by his action.

He only wanted the death of Connor.

If not for the national laws, the hundreds of thousands of employees under the Fuller Group, and the

innocent employees under the Salzburg Group, Toby would not hold himself back and would use any

means necessary to question Connor on whether Connor was his father’s murderer. Who wouldn’t break

down under illegal means of interrogation, right?

However, there was still kindness in him. He knew that if he had done what he thought of doing, there

would be war between the Fuller Family and the Salzburg Family. Once the fight between the two

families broke out, the employees of the two groups would end up bearing the brunt. When that time

came, many would choose to end their life as they would lose their means of living.

Although the employees meant little to the cold and distant Toby, the sense of responsibility and morals

instilled within him since young prevented him from doing so. Else, he would have gotten his revenge a

long time ago.

“Good thing he didn’t.” Tom sighed in relief after hearing his president’s answer. Here, Tom was not

nervous about Sonia but his own president instead. He knew how much Toby cared about Sonia, and

that Toby would go crazy should anything happen to her.

“By the way, how did you find out that Connor is in Seafield?” Toby asked with his eyes narrowed in

suspicion, as he did not disclose this information to anyone else. “Did he come by the Fuller Group?” he

speculated.

Tom immediately shook his head. “That’s not it, President Fuller. Connor did not come to the Fuller

Group. I was notified by the police that Connor went to the police station half an hour ago to meet with

Anya.”

“So that’s how you knew.” Toby slightly nodded. He was not surprised by the fact that Connor went to the

police station. Anya is Connor’s daughter, and is the only reason he came to Seafield. There’s no way he

wouldn’t go meet her.
