Connor’s Plan
In order to fight back, Henry stole her daughter and threw her into the river. At this point, the two
families had completely become mortal enemies. After that, because of Mia Murray, Titus’ mother, the
Reed Family and Gray Family did not continue to fight, and their hatred seemed to subside. However,
she knew Titus had never forgotten that Henry killed their daughter, and he had never given up the idea
of taking revenge.
Three years after Mia’s death, which was also six years ago, Titus not only bribed Sandra to give Henry
a drug to weaken his mental state, but he also secretly set a trap for Henry and made him fall for it,
causing Paradigm Co. to make a grave mistake that couldn’t even be fixed by selling all the shares
they had. Finally, Titus ordered people to tell Henry things that encouraged him to take his own life.
Under Henry’s weakened mental state, he was naturally convinced and jumped off a building in
despair.
Even if Sonia didn’t know the true cause of Henry’s death, she still blamed it on the Gray Family. After
all, to her, Henry took his own life because they plotted against Paradigm Co. and left him with nothing.
Hence, she felt nothing but hatred toward the Gray Family. Later, Tina got someone to hypnotize Toby
and stole him from Sonia, then she and Titus plotted against Sonia several times. All of these grudges
piled up made it so that the Gray Family and Reed Family were destined to be unable to coexist.
Now, Julia felt some compassion for Sonia and didn’t really want her to die, but she was still a part of
the Gray Family and was Titus’ wife, so she could only side with the Gray Family and hope that they
would win. After all, while Sonia did have some of Rina’s characteristics, at the end of the day, she was
not Rina.
As Titus and Julia schemed about their future plans, in a hotel, Connor had naturally also seen the
commotion on the internet. Sitting on the sofa and looking at the laptop in front of him, he rubbed the
cane in his hand as he fell deep in thought.
Behind him, Xander
“Isn’t it enough proof?” Xander was shocked.
Connor put his cane aside and picked up his drink on the coffee table to take a sip before he said
lightly, “You haven’t dated yet, so you wouldn’t know. Some seemingly affectionate actions are a piece
of cake for men, and it’s not enough to prove their sincerity. Toby has a net worth of tens of billions, but
the gifts he gave Sonia is nothing more than a few million. This small amount of money isn’t even worth
mentioning to him. His presents are just like feeding a beggar. You’ve been working for me for so long,
so you’ve seen people who date others for money, right?”
Xander nodded profusely. “Yes, sir.”
Connor smirked. “Which of those people aren’t generous and able to casually give their lovers gifts that
are worth millions? Cars, houses, planes, cruise ships; as long as their lover makes them happy
enough, wouldn’t they give it out like it’s nothing? But, does this mean that they love those women?”
Xander shook his head. “That’s not true. If they loved them, they wouldn’t just throw money at them;
they would give them a proper status instead.”
“That’s right. So, can these gifts Toby gave to Sonia prove that he loves her enough to give up
everything for her? Which one of his gifts can’t be offered by any man who’s slightly rich and fools
around with women? Besides, his presents aren’t even as surprising as the cars and houses that those
men give to their lovers. At least cars and houses can show his feelings more clearly. What use do
these useless luxury items have?” Saying that, Connor put down his cup.
Xander couldn’t come up with a reply.
Connor grabbed his cane and continued, “As for the statement he posted, ha, that’s even more
ridiculous. For any man within the circle, as long as he has a woman by his side, which one of them
hasn’t sweet talked them? In the end, they’re just words. Anyone can learn how to say them. For
instance, those young couples on the streets. They always say they love each other, but do they mean
it? Can they prove their feelings with just one sentence? It’s only young people who have not faced any
difficulties who think that they can take these sweet nothings seriously.”
The young Xander, who had never faced any difficulties, felt his mouth twitch and fell silent. He had just
taken it seriously earlier and thought that with Toby’s identity, being able to say such things in public on
the internet must mean that he truly loved Sonia. However, after Connor’s analysis, he realized just
how naive he had been.
That was right. Those young masters and bosses in the circle did often call their lovers with
endearments and bombard them with sweet words, but in reality, it was all just a game. They could say
the same sweet nothings to another woman, even if they weren’t the same words. Hence, it was indeed
a little ridiculous to prove someone’s sincerity only with words.
“Mr. Salzburg, doesn’t that mean that Toby’s feelings for Sonia aren’t actually that serious?” Xander
frowned.
Connor narrowed his wrinkled eyes. “Maybe. It’s been a day since I asked someone to snatch Sonia’s
company’s spare parts, so she’s probably feeling extremely anxious and is trying to figure out how to
solve this matter. If she can’t get the parts back within three days, she knows clearly what Paradigm
Co. would face, but she didn’t tell Toby. It’s clear she knows that he still has some reservations toward
her and might not help her. Of course, this is not absolute. Maybe she didn’t tell him because she didn’t
want him to help and wanted to solve it herself. After meeting her last time, I can tell that Sonia is
actually a very tough woman, and it’s possible that she would do this.”
Xander didn’t care what kind of woman Sonia was. Hearing that Toby’s feelings for Sonia might not be
serious, he felt unhappy. “Mr. Salzburg, Toby possesses and commands great wealth and power. If we
want to deal with him, we must target his weakness. Only by doing so can we succeed. We should
probably forget about Old Mrs. Fuller for now. She wouldn’t leave the Fuller Residence easily, and it’s
impossible for us to use her to deal with him. Secondly, his stepmother and her son are probably not
his weaknesses either. After all, they’re only his step family, so they might not feel strongly for each
other, and a cold and powerful person like Toby may give up on them at any time. Excluding these
three, we’re only left with Sonia.”
“I know what you mean. This may not be able to test Sonia’s position in Toby’s heart, but it doesn’t
matter because I still have another solution.” Connor suddenly grasped his cane as his voice turned
cold, completely devoid of the gentleness he had at the beginning; it made him seem a little terrifying.
He was like a hissing poisonous snake, sending a chill down people’s spines.
Xander’s eyes brightened. “Mr. Salzburg, what do you plan to do?”
Connor shot him a look. “You’ll find out later.”
He didn’t seem to have any intention of saying more, so Xander tactfully stopped asking as well.
Meanwhile, in Paradigm Co., Sonia had no idea that people were plotting against her behind her back.
She was sitting in her office chair right now, talking to Grace on her phone.
