Chapter 1085


    "What? They aren''t our employees?" Titus was shocked, and he wasn''t ready to ept the


    bombshell from his assistant as thoughts ran through his mind. He had been going on longterm


    medication, which was the reason why his jowly face was now quivering unsightly.


    The assistant nodded. "Yes, I''ve got hold of their faces from the surveince cameras in the elevator


    lobby and searched for them in thepany''s employee database, but I found nothing. Thinking


    they might be temporary workers whose IDs aren''t entered in the system, I also asked around every


    department. The heads helped me to ask their subordinates, but none of them had ever seen those


    two around before. Therefore, the two must be spies."


    Titus'' face scrunched up in anger as he spoke through gritted teeth. "In other words, the two were


    sent into thepany by someone on purpose, which was to expose me in front of Chief Dup,


    so he would direct his focus on me."


    The assistant lowered his head. "I think so too. Other than that, I can''t think of why the non-


    employees would show up at the time and talk about the mine copse with Chief Dup around.


    Someone was probably setting us up. President, do you think it''s our opponents that did it? We''ve


    seeded in taking over a lot of business dealings recently. The others are not satisfied and might


    want to take revenge on us."


    Shaking his head at the assistant''s guess, Titus answered with a somber look, "It''s not them."


    "No?" A surprised look shed across the assistant''s gloomy face. "President, what do you mean?"


    "We didn''t make the fuss over the mine copse back then as I suppressed the news before it could


    get to many people. Not even the high-levels in Triforce know, let alone the otherpanies.


    Besides, the ident urred a long time ago. I''ve been getting rid of the insiders over the years.


    Therefore, we''re the only ones who know it besides Cadman of the nning Department. Despite


    disobeying me, he knows the seriousness of the matter and won''t tell others. After all, it isn''t only


    about me, but the wholepany. Even if he wants to bring me down, he won’t want anything to


    happen to thepany. There''s no use for him to take over an endangeredpany, or else he


    would''ve spread the news long ago."


    Rubbing his chin, the assistantmented, "You''re right. The otherpanies don''t have the


    connections to know this."


    Titus narrowed his slitted eyes and spoke in a low tone. "If I''m right, Toby Fuller is the man behind


    all of these."


    "President Fuller?" The assistant''s surprised expression turned to a shocked one. "He knows it?"


    "At first, Toby didn''t know anything. I asked extra men from him when I was understaffed to get rid of


    some evidence. That time, he was close to Tina. She was considered an important person to him


    even in a vegetative state, so he had been watching over the Gray Family and Triforce. He didn’t


    think twice when I sought help even if I didn''t tell him the use at that time. After that, he inquired


    about the story, so he''s another person who knows."


    "I see." The assistant nodded in understanding.


    Titus was clenching his fists on his sides. "He wants to get back at me, which is why he was


    exposing me to Chief Dup."


    The assistant stared at him. "Just because you paid the trolls to heckle and nder Sonia?"


    "Hmph What else?" Titus harrumphed.


    The assistant pushed his sses with a finger. "Maybe it''s about Miss Tina? You and the Fuller


    Family or President Fuller himself aren''t holding grudges against each other. The worst matter by


    far was Miss Tina asked to hypnotize him and pretended to be his lover in the past. As President


    Fuller''s main target of retaliation, Miss Tina, has passed away, he could only unleash his fury on you


    since you''re her adoptive father."


    "That''s impossible." Titus shook his head. "Toby might be a vengeful man. He indeed will see us as


    another target to take his anger out ording to what happened between him and Tina. However, if


    he wants revenge, he would have done it a long time ago because he''s not the kind of person to


    wait without taking any action. On usual days, he treats me like I don’t exist at most, and has no


    interest in taking revenge on me. I can''t exactly understand his behavior. Therefore, I''m certain it


    has nothing to do with Tina. He''s doing it for Sonia this time."


    The assistant then spoke his opinion. "No matter his motives, as long as the both of you are rted


    to Miss Tina, there will always be a grudge between you. Even if he''s not bothering to take revenge


    on us right now, he would do it any time. I think he''s preparing for something."


    Titus sighed worriedly. "You''re right. Even if we have no idea what he is waiting for when he''s


    capable, we need to be prepared, or else we can''t react in time when he strikes. However, our top


    priority is to solve the immediate problems. We can''t do anything to stop Chief Dup from


    investigating the ident for the time being. Even though his findings won''t put the sentence on us,


    they will affect us nheless. We will need a huge amount of money to resolve it. Go see Cadman


    and discuss the funds with him. He won''t reject it for the sake of ourpany."


    "Alright, sir." Zaiden nodded and turned to work on his task, leaving Titus alone in the office.


    As he looked around the empty office, it was the first time Titus felt lonely in the ce which


    boosted his ego on usual days and he was used to giving orders.

    From the conversation a moment ago, Titus finally realized that Toby not confronting them any


    sooner wasn''t out of his past rtionship with Tina. It was because Toby had other ideas for them,


    so he was waiting for the time being.


    It was obvious that not one man could ever get over the fact his emotions and memories were


    intervened and manipted by someone else.


    Especially for a prideful man like Toby, being set up by others easily was a lifelong shame to him.


    There was no way Toby would let Tina and the Gray Family off.


    I wonder whether Tina''s dead or alive. Titus found outter that the body didn''t belong to Tina.


    Maybe she''s alive, but she might note back.


    As long as Tina wasn''t returning, the Gray Family would always be the one to bear Toby''s anger


    without knowing the time he would finally strike. Toby had no reason to let the Gray Family off easily


    if he was doing it for Sonia. He would even aid her in suppressing the Gray Family.


    Titus was confident that he wouldn''t be afraid if his opponent was only Sonia herself. After all, he


    was on the more experienced side while she was an inexperienced young woman, who did not hold


    much power.


    However, Titus would be helpless if Sonia had Toby to back her up. Aside from the two joining


    forces, Titus stood no chance even if he was only fighting against Toby.
