Chapter 899
Anya''s face was on full disy, but her eyes were closed as if she was asleep.
Xander noticed this and came forward. "Sir, shall I wake her?"
Connor hummed in agreement.
Xander took a look around the room and saw a cup of water on the table. It had probably been left
behind by the police officers who interrogated Anya. When he saw the cup of water, he swiftly went
over and picked it up before sshing the water onto her face.
The police officer who brought them into the room stared at them in shock. He never thought that
these two men would resort to such means to wake her up. However, Mr. Salzburg seemed to be
fine with the way his assistant treated Anya. This puzzled the police officer very much. Isn''t Anya
Steinfeld Mr. Salzburg''s daughter? Why is hepletely fine with how his assistant treated his
daughter?
At the same time, Anya regained consciousness after getting water sshed onto her face. She
had been a nervous wreck for the past two days, and now that she had been startled awake, she
screamed in fear.
Her piercing screams made Connor incredibly annoyed. He barked, "Shut up!"
As soon as Anya heard Connor''s voice, she stopped screaming and raised her head in disbelief.
When she saw Connor''s grim face in front of her, her eyes turned wide with fear. "M-Mr. Salzburg,
why are you here?"
She gulped in fear, and her body began to tremble.
When the police officer saw this scene, he became even more puzzled. That''s weird. Isn''t she his
daughter? Why is she frightened at the sight of him? And she didn''t call him father or daddy either,
but Mr. Salzburg. This feels really odd!
Despite being curious, the police officer did not dare voice his doubts. After all, it was a family
matter, so after taking another look at the three of them in the trial room, he turned around and
walked away.
Earlier, Mr. Salzburg had requested to meet with Anya alone. The police chief had agreed to Mr.
Salzburg''s request, so there was no reason for the police officer to stick around.
Soon enough, there were only three of them in the trial room: Anya, Connor, and Xander. Xander
wisely stood guard at the door and kept out of the conversation between Connor and Anya. As for
Connor, he slowly removed his walking cane that was under Anya’s jaw and ced it back down on
the ground.
Anya felt relieved that it had been removed where it had been beneath her jaw. She forced a smile
and spoke very carefully. "Mr. Salzburg, you... you haven''t told me why you’re here yet."
This old man who stood in front of her now typically had a calm and jovial demeanor, but in reality,
he was a very twisted person. Anya recalled the methods that he used to torture people and began
to shiver instinctively. She tried to be as careful and respectful as possible to avoid making him
angry.
"Why am I here?" Connor walked past the table and took a seat before shifting his chilling gaze to
Anya. "You should be asking yourself that question. Anya Steinfeld, didn''t I tell you that if you came
to Seafield first, then you should stay out of trouble? I warned you to stay out of sight as it''s not time
for you to make an appearance yet, but what did you do instead? On the first day that you arrived in
Seafield, you went and created a scene by getting into an ident with Toby Fuller, and you ended
up pissing off Sonia Reed. You exposed yourself to them, and I had to change all of my ns
because of you. Tell me, are you a glutton for punishment? If you are, then I don''t mind doing you a
favor!"
When Anya heard his words, she felt a chill rib down her spine, and she immediately shook her
head in terror. "No, no, no! Mr. Salzburg, I know I messed up, I really do. I shouldn''t have been so
reckless. I... I just couldn''t stop myself. I couldn''t just swallow down my anger, so I—" "So you
decided to act so foolishly?" Connor interrupted her in annoyance.
Anya lowered her head and fell silent.
Connor snorted in fury. "Alright then. You''re incredible, you know that, Anya? I don''t mind if you tried
to do something to them, but at the very least, you should have done a good job. If you had
managed to strike either Toby or Sonia down with one fell swoop, then I would have sung your
praises, but what did you do instead? Not only did you go behind my back and act ording to your
own whims, you even resorted to such useless tactics. All child''s y, and you didn''t even manage
to do it properly!
And now you''ve exposed me as well. You''re hopeless."
He pointed at her, and his finger was trembling from his rage.
Anya felt contempt for the way he described her, and a look of hatred shed in her eyes, but she
did not dare to make her true feelings known. She quickly hid away all signs of her contempt before
looking up and nodding guiltily. "You''re right, Mr. Salzburg, I''m hopeless. I''ve realized my mistake,
Mr. Salzburg, so please save me from here. I won''t act alone again. I''ll do everything you ask me,
really. I’ll listen to you and do whatever you want me to do as long as you save me from this ce. I
don''t want to be locked up in here anymore. I can''t do anything when I''m in here, and there''s always
someone keeping an eye on me. It makes me feel like I''m back in that mental asylum, and it''s too
hard..."
Anya broke down in tears by the end of her pleading. It was obvious that she was frightened and in
a lot of pain.
Connor knew about her past, so naturally, he was aware of how it was like for her in that mental
asylum. Therefore, he knew that she was telling the truth about how she was suffering, and it was
not a lie.
Even so, he merely threw her a chilly gaze and said, "Don''t worry, I''ll save you."
Immediately, her crying stopped. She raised her head and stared excitedly at Connor with tear-
stricken eyes.
"Really? You''re not lying to me right, Mr. Salzburg? You''re really going to save me?"
Connor toyed with his ring again and replied indifferently, "I never lie to anyone. Back then, I
approached you first and promised to help you, so naturally, I''m going to see it to the end. I won''t
give up on you halfway. Isn''t that obvious from the fact that I spent such a huge sum of money to
hire an attorney for you, and I''ve evene to Seafield personally? In any case, you may be
foolish, but you''re not totally useless yet. I''ll still get some use out of you."
Anya kept nodding along. "Yes, of course. I know that you’re the best, Mr. Salzburg, so please,
hurry up and get me out of here. I really can''t stand staying here any longer."

She was beginning to sound a little hysterical.
However, Connor was unmoved.
"What’s the rush? We''re in Seafield, not Westsanshire. This is Toby''s yground, and you pissed
him off. Even if I wanted to save you, it would not be easy for me to do so in his city. It''s impossible
to get you out right now, so you''ll just have to wait for a while."
"What?" Anya could not believe her ears. Her eyes opened so wide that they nearly popped out of
her head. "I have to stay here for a while? No, Mr. Salzburg! I can''t stay here any longer. If I
continue staying here, then I''ll go mad. I''ll really go mad!"
She could not ept that this was happening, and she began to jerk around violently that it almost
felt like her wheelchair would fall apart. When Connor saw the way she trashed about, he felt utterly
repulsed. "You''re on the verge of madness anyway, so it doesn''t matter if you be a little more
psychotic. In any case, I want you to stay here a little longer too. You went against my orders and
acted ording to your own whims, and you couldn''t even get anything done. Did you really think I
wouldn''t settle this score with you?"
Connor sneered.
