Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 994

Sonia snorted coldly. "I can solve this problem on my own. I don't need his help."

"What?" Connor had been sitting on the couch with crossed legs, but he jumped to his feet abruptly when he heard that. "You didn't seek help from Toby?"

"So what if I didn't receive any help from him? What's with the surprised reaction, Mr. Salzburg? Are you perhaps hoping that he will help me?" She rolled her eyes in contemplation.

He had grabbed the dragon ferrule of the walking stick so tightly that veins were protruding on the back of his hand. "That's not it. I'm just surprised that you don't need Toby's help to handle the situation. It seems like I've underestimated you, Miss Reed. You're more capable than I thought."

Sonia bit her lips. "I'm flattered, Mr. Salzburg."

Listening to her sarcastic remarks, Connor displayed a fearsome expression on his dimmed face. Now, he was certain that she had not sought help from Toby at all. So, the plan of using her to go against Toby had to be put on hold.

"Miss Reed." He shut his eyes and sat on the couch while attempting to smother the fury boiling in him. "I've given you two days to think about it, but I think that there's no need for us to meet up today anymore."

"There's no need to do so from the first start." Sonia retaliated straightforwardly.

Connor's face contorted in sinister grim. "That sharp tongue of yours. I wonder if you have the capability to compensate for your ill behavior, Miss Reed."

Her eyes wavered at that. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Salzburg? Are you going to hurt me if you don't achieve your goals?"

"Who knows? That's it, Miss Reed. I've called you just to know your decision and I know now. It is not necessary for this conversation to continue any further." He gave an implicit answer.
