Connor’s Illegitimate Daughter
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 operandi 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.
The two of them hugged for a while, and Sonia only let Toby go when he had finally calmed down. She
then turned to Oscar, who had to witness the couple’s public display of affection. “By the way, Mr.
Woolley, do you know how Connor Salzburg is related to Anya? Since he found you, and you’re Anya’s
attorney, you probably know about their relationship, don’t you?”
At that, Toby narrowed his eyes at Oscar as well.
Under their scrutinizing gazes, Oscar, who felt extremely pressured, adjusted his glasses again before
replying, “They have a father and daughter relationship.”
“Father and daughter relationship?!” Sonia couldn’t help but exclaim in shock even though she had
already guessed their relationship.
Meanwhile, Toby didn’t look surprised. However, his face had darkened again.
It was obvious that he wasn’t happy knowing that Anya was Connor’s daughter.
In fact, he was furious because he didn’t want to acknowledge the fact that she was Connor’s daughter.
Sonia couldn’t help but feel puzzled at Toby’s reaction. “What’s wrong?”
Instead of answering her, he turned to stare at Oscar. “Connor Salzburg isn’t married, though. Is Anya
his illegitimate daughter?”
“Yes,” Oscar nodded and answered. “I heard from Mr. Salzburg’s personal assistant that Miss Steinfeld is
Mr. Salzburg’s illegitimate daughter that was left to fend for her own, and she finally acknowledged Mr.
Salzburg as her father six months ago due to unknown reasons. However, he did not help Miss Steinfeld
to change her last name right away, and only changed it to Anya Salzburg recently. Despite that, he did
not alter any of her other documents or reveal that she is his daughter to the public, so no one knows
that he actually has a daughter.”
“I see.” Sonia nodded in realization while Toby chuckled disdainfully. “If I recall correctly, Anya is 27 years
old currently, isn’t she?”
“Yes,” Oscar answered truthfully.
Immediately, a disdainful look appeared in his gaze. “Just three years younger than me, huh? That’s
good to know!”
Sonia could tell that Toby was seething in anger when he said that.
He’s furious at Connor for having an illegitimate daughter, but why?
Sonia lowered her curious gaze.
Nevertheless, she kept her curiosity and only asked Toby about it after they bade Oscar farewell and
returned to the car, where it was only the two of them.
Still, Toby didn’t not answer her, and his gaze was lowered. It seemed like he was contemplating
something.
A while later, he answered in a gloomy tone, “I’m feeling unfair for my mother.”
“You’re feeling unfair for her because she loved Connor, but he had an illegitimate daughter?” Sonia
raised her eyebrows, as she thought Toby didn’t need to feel that way.
Toby’s mother was in love with Connor, and the two of them used to be together. However, she chose to
break up with Connor to get married to Toby’s father in the end, and later, she gave birth to Toby.
Naturally, there was no need for Connor to wait for Toby’s mother since they weren’t together anymore,
so it was unnecessary for Toby to feel unfair for his mother just because Connor had an illegitimate
daughter.
When Toby realized what Sonia was thinking about, he stared at her for a while before he pursed his lips
and said without any hint of emotion, “I actually never told you about this, but I wasn’t conceived
normally.”
“What do you mean?” Sonia was stunned.
Meanwhile, Toby had both his hands on the steering wheel with a stiff expression on his face. “I was a
test-tube baby.”
“What?!” Sonia gasped before she exclaimed in shock, “A test-tube baby?!”
Nonetheless, Toby had already predicted her reaction.
After parking the car at the side of the road, he mumbled an acknowledgement with his gaze lowered, his
face devoid of any emotions. “I only found out about it when I was going through my mother’s belongings
after she died.”
