Chapter 435


    Chapter 435 Den’s Offer


    “Young Master Den, what—”


    Den and the others widened their eyes and stared at Toby in disbelief. They couldn’t believe that Toby


    actually managed to catch up to them, shocking them to the core. Den was so surprised he took a


    while to react, squinting a little after he came back to his senses. “President Fuller!” He looked straight at


    Toby with a peculiar gaze.


    “Den.” Toby acknowledged Den as well, taking Den back again as his pupils constricted a little.


    “Oh? Do you know me?”


    “I didn’t, and I don’t want to, but I have no choice but to get to know someone like you since you


    kidnapped my people,” Toby taunted while staring at him sarcastically.


    At the same time, Sonia was stunned when she heard Toby addressing her as his ‘people’. For once,


    she wasn’t appalled by what Toby did.


    Someone like me? On the other hand, Den waspletely pissed off when he heard what Tony said.


    Due to him being an illegitimate child, he had been on the receiving end of everyone else’s gossip since


    childhood.


    Hence, what Toby said really triggered Den and caused his face to change while he cackled


    maniacally. “It’s too bad that you had to waste your time to get to know me.”


    “That’s enough. Stop with the verbal fight and let go of Sonia, Den,” Toby said before pointing at


    Sonia, who was trapped between the two buff men.


    “Let her go?” Den narrowed his eyes. “What if I say no?”


    “If you don’t let go of her, don’t even think of leaving Seafield today,” Toby answered sharply while


    Den smirked. “President Fuller, why are you speaking as if you’ll let me go if I release her? After all,


    didn’t I offend you the moment I kidnapped her? You’ve been known to be one to hold grudges, so would


    you really let me go?”


    Toby clenched his fists. “As long as you don’t harm Sonia and let her go, I’ll consider letting you off the


    hook.”


    At this moment, not to mention Sonia, even Den was stunned when they heard Toby.


    Then, Den gave Toby an odd look before he started chuckling. “President Fuller, oh, President Fuller,


    the things you do for a woman are really eye opening. It’s honestly unlike you to let an enemy go just like


    that. Looks like you’re madly in love with this woman. Still, why would you divorce her if you love her that


    much?”


    Upon hearing that, Toby lowered his gaze and masked his expression before saying coldly, “That’s none


    of your business. Let her go, and you guys can leave.”


    “Haha!” Denughed coldly. “President Fuller, do you really think I don’t know that you letting us


    escape is just a means to slow down our n? Since you are alone and can’t rescue Sonia from us, you


    propose to let us leave, but you’ll send your men to capture us immediately after we leave.”


    A glint of light shed past Toby’s eyes, after which he couldn’t help but purse his lips.


    I’ve got to say that he’s right. What I need to do now is to buy more time before backup arrives.


    As he was alone and couldn’t rescue Sonia, he decided to reveal himself and find all means to dy


    their n so that Den and the others couldn’t take Sonia away. At this moment, no one knew when or


    whose helicopter would reach first.


    If Den’s helicopter reached first, Den and the others would surely leave as soon as possible. By


    then, it would be harder for him to catch up to Sonia.


    Hence, Toby was trying his best to negotiate with Den now to get him to release Sonia. As long as


    Den was willing to let her go, he would be willing to let them leave and recapture them after that. Yet,


    Toby didn’t expect Den to see through his ns so quickly.


    Well, it’s normal for an illegitimate child to be bright. He had to make it out alive among all the other


    children back then, after all.


    “What do you want?” Toby stared at Den with a dark look on his face.


    “What do I want?” Den let out a burst of sinisterughter. “It’s simple. I kidnapped your wife because I


    want Lucius Hayes dead, so I obviously can’t let her go because I haven’t reached my goal yet.


    However, I respect you, so I won’t hurt Sonia. In fact, I’ll return her to you once I kill Lucius. How about a


    partnership, President Fuller?”


    “Partnership?” Toby had a cold expression on his face. “How are you nning to work together? Also,


    who is Lucius Hayes?”


    “Lucius Hayes is Carl Lee,” Den answered.


    What?


    Under the jacket, Sonia had a huge change of expression.


    Is Lucius actually Carl?


    I see… Reba is from the Hayes Family, and she came to Seafield just to look for their young master.


    She used to mention that Carl really looked like the head of the Hayes Family and wanted to get his hair


    for a DNA test but got rejected by Carl.


    In fact, Carl insisted that he was definitely not the Young Master of the Hayes Family. Still, from the looks


    of it now, it seems like Reba was right. Carl is really the Young Master of the Hayes Family.


    “Carl?” Toby looked surprised. It was obvious that he was shocked by the revtion that Lucius was


    Carl.


    He’d initially thought that Sonia’s kidnappers would probably be Titus or the Fuller Family’s enemies, but


    it was actually Carl’s enemy.

    So that was why Carl knew that Den was the one who kidnapped Sonia.


    As Carl belonged to the Hayes Family, he could directly affect Den’s chances to be the inheritor, so


    Den wanted to remove this obstacle.


    From what Den said, he likely kidnapped Sonia because he knew that Carl liked Sonia, so he wanted


    to trick Carl over and take the opportunity to subdue him.


    At the thought of that, Toby got enraged as he cracked his knuckles and wanted to say something.


    However, Den continued, “President Fuller, our partnership will be a simple one. I’ll lend Sonia to


    remove Lucius, and I will return her to you after he’s gone. By then, I’ll give you two treaty ports as


    compensation to settle the grudge between us. This partnership will benefit both of us. What do you think


    about it?”


    Den looked at Toby with a confident grin.


    He figured that Toby would surely agree to partner up since he offered great conditions along with it.


    After all, those were Westsanshire treaty ports. Although the Fuller Group had treaty ports in


    Westsanshire, the Hayes Family definitely had much more than them.


    Hence, any rational businessman would definitely not reject two treaty ports.


    “Mm, mm, mm!” Suddenly, Sonia started struggling as different thoughts raced past her mind. At this


    moment, she wanted to remind Toby not to get tempted and agree to the ports. After all, Carl’s life was at


    stake.


    That was why she would never let Toby agree to this deal.


    Upon hearing Sonia’smotion, Toby turned around to look at her, and he naturally knew why she was


    so agitated.


    Although he felt ufortable, he still went along with his inner thoughts. “No, thanks. Do you really


    think that I will take advantage of the people I love to gain more profit? Den, it’s insulting how you see


    me as. Do you really think that I’m you?”


    Toby didn’t care about Carl’s life, and it was none of his business if Den wanted to kill Carl.


    All he cared about was Sonia.


    Immediately, the smile on Den’s face froze before he gave Toby a disbelieving look a whileter and


    snapped with a shrill voice, “President Fuller, are you seriously rejecting two Westsanshire treaty ports?


    Are you really trying to go against me?”


    “I don’t need to partner up with people like you!” Toby looked up before his gaze swept past Den as if


    he was trash.


    At the same time, Sonia, who was trapped under the jacket, shed happy tears.
