Chapter 1007

He repeated the question Connor had thrown at him.

Connor chuckled. "If I were worried, I wouldn't have done that. After all, all I did was intercept some goods, so you wouldn't go so far as to fight me to the bitter end. Furthermore, I've decided since the beginning that if you personally ask me to return the spare parts, I'll immediately give them back without delay. Wouldn't that give you no reason to lay a hand on me?" It was exactly because he was absolutely certain about this that he dared to do so. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the risk.

"You know me better than I imagined," Toby taunted.

Connor rubbed the dragon's head with a half-smile. "And so do you."

"In that case, if I didn't come to you to ask for the batch of spare parts, would you continue to feign ignorance by not returning the spare parts? Would you let my lover's company get into trouble so that you could laugh at me?" Toby said while unleashing his murderous intent.

Connor, the old fox, still had a smile on his face. "How is that possible? I knew that you'd definitely come back. After all, you and I know very well what Miss Reed is capable of. She has no means to solve this issue. If she wants to prevent Paradigm Co. from going bankrupt, all she has to do is agree to let Anya off, and I'll naturally return the spare parts to her. However, she refuses to do so, so I have no choice but to keep on stalling her. You know Paradigm Co.'s situation without me telling you about it. The problem with the spare parts can't be held off, but she can't produce a large sum of money to weather the crisis caused by the lack of spare parts, so you're the only one she can turn to. She's your woman, so it's only natural that you can't sit by and do nothing about it. Well, my guess proved to be right, no?"

he intercepted the spare parts in the beginning. His real purpose was to sound out how much the man before him cared about Sonia. Anya was just an extra. What if Sonia was softhearted enough to agree to let Anya off? Even if the couple didn't agree to let Anya off, he could sound out how much Toby cared about Sonia. In short, whatever the outcome was, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage. He would get what he wanted, and he proved to have succeeded. Sonia was very dependent on Toby. On the other hand, Toby might not love her so much as to be unable to live without her, but he was absolutely deeply in love with her. Otherwise, why would he come in person instead of sending

what you're supposed to know. It's true that I won't fight you to the bitter end just because you intercepted the spare parts, but I'll remember this and settle all the scores with you

he started rubbing the dragon's head again, but Toby's words seemed to make him feel somewhat restless. His thumb rubbed against the dragon's head much faster than just now, which revealed his turbulent emotions. "Is that so? Well, I'll be looking forward to that." He lowered his eyes. "Having said so much, I have yet to tell you my purpose. Your guess just now is right. I'm indeed here for that disappointing daughter of mine. I don't like

Connor had caused the death of Toby's mother. Secondly, it was also an indisputable fact that Anya, Connor's illegitimate daughter, had repeatedly bullied Sonia. One might as well say that Toby and Sonia had a lot of scores to settle with Connor and Anya, so what gave Connor the cheek to ask Toby to have Anya released?
