Chapter 1317


    Tom gulped incredulously and he could not quite believe his ears at all.


    Did President Fuller actually say that from now on, I don''t need to wait for his phone call and I can go to


    bed for anything else other than matters regarding Miss Reed or thepany?! Gosh, is this for real?!


    Is this a dream? Since when did President Fuller be such a considerate person and start to show


    concern for me?


    In the past, President Fuller would never be concerned at all about how long I had to wait for him or


    whether I was tired from the wait.


    At times, even if Toby realized that Tom was exhausted, he would not be bothered about that either. In


    other words, Toby was akin to an unfeeling person.


    President Fuller is considerate of my feelings. Gosh. I''m so touched by that. This is definitely Miss


    Reed''s efforts. Since President Fuller got together officially with Miss Reed, he started to change and


    show concern for his subordinates. I''m so grateful to Miss Reed.


    Tom could not stem his excitement as he thought about the situation, but he maintained a calm front


    still. After all, he was a professional personal assistant and he would never allow himself to reveal any


    hint of emotion especially when he was discussing serious matters with his boss.


    "Okay. I got it, President Fuller." Tom nodded and adhered to Toby''s instructions.


    Toby affirmed calmly and narrowed his eyes subsequently. "In regards to the information you sent me a


    couple of hours ago, how legitimate is it?"


    Tom shifted his gold-rimmed sses perched on his nose bridge. "President Fuller, I personally waited


    there for the DNA result to be produced, so it is definitely legitimate. Anya and Connor aren''t rted


    biologically."


    In fact, Tom had been stunned into oblivion upon finding out the result. Even when Toby had instructed


    him to find a way to obtain DNA samples of the two individuals to run a DNA test on them back then,


    Tom was not as surprised as he was when the results came out. In fact, Tom had suspected back then


    that Anya and Connor might not have been rted because Toby would not have asked him to


    investigate the matter if he was not certain about it. Tom had always trusted Toby, so it was likely that


    the duo were not rted biologically if Toby had such suspicion.


    As such, Tom had been mentally prepared for the result. Nheless, despite his mental preparation,


    the moment he saw the result, the shock he received was way beyond his expectations.

    As soon as Tom recalled this, he took a deep breath before asking, "President Fuller, do you think that


    Connor is aware that Anya''s not his biological daughter?"


    "What do you reckon?" Toby spoke nonchntly.


    Meanwhile, Tom maintained his silence. That was a stupid question. Connor definitely knows!


    In fact, as soon as Tom asked that, he realized immediately that it was a very foolish question.


    Connor was a cunning and schemeful individual. He was a ruthless man used to plotting against others


    without getting implicated and there was no way he would not have known whether he had a daughter


    or not.


    If Anya had actually been an imposter iming to be Connor''s daughter, there was no way he would let


    her get away with things.


    After all, if she imed to be Connor''s daughter when she actually was not, that would indicate that she


    was making a fool out of him by scheming against him. Someone as ruthless as Connor would


    definitely not let Anya get away with this.


    Furthermore, the first thing one would do when someone came forward iming rtions with one was


    to get their DNA tested. As such, if Anya actually dared to fake herself as Connor''s daughter, then


    there was no way she would be able to pass the DNA test and remain living and well up to this day.


    Right now, the results verified that the duo was not father-daughter, but Connor had actually gone and


    announced to the public that Anya was his own. The only way to exin that would be Connor feigning


    ignorance as he waited to see what her fake daughter was plotting against him.


    Otherwise, this could all be Connor''s plot from the start and he sought out Anya to im that she was


    his daughter. Perhaps, he had lied to her in an aim to achieve some of his specific goals.


    At this point, Tom was much more inclined to go along with the second possibility.


    After all, if Connor intended to find out the reason Anya faked her profile and imed to be his


    daughter, then he would not have to send her all the way to Seafield. Instead, he could have just kept


    her at Westsanshire and assigned some men to keep an eye on her. Yet, could he have brought her all


    the way to Seafield just to keep a close eye on her? That would be ridiculous, though.


    Connor was one who treasured his life and would never ce someone with unknown intentions by his


    side. Who knew if he had kept someone, whose intention was to assassinate him? Therefore, if she


    was ced by his side, then he was basically courting death. Clearly, the first option did not make


    sense at all, so it was surely the second option.


    He must have sought Anya and lied to her about her being his daughter. Perhaps, he might have been


    forthright to Anya with his request to pose as his daughter. As for the reason to do so…


    Tom lowered his eyes and remained deep in thought. He thought of the feud between Connor and the


    Fuller Family, then he suddenly gasped. "President Fuller, I think Connor sought Anya out to pose as


    his daughter because his target is you."


    Toby lifted his brows slightly upon hearing Tom''s deduction. Frankly, he was not the least bit surprised


    at all. On the contrary, there was a calm look on Toby''s face. "Keep going."


    "Okay." Tom nodded. "Consider this. Connor is usually based in Westsanshire and he has never


    stepped foot into Seaview for over thirty years."


    "Your information isn''t urate. He came here three months ago." Toby pursed his lips and corrected


    Tom.


    At that instance, Tom was caught by surprise, but he swiftly caught on to Toby''s words and smacked


    his forehead in realization. "Yes, that''s right. I forgot that he was the one behind your car ident three


    months ago. He dide to Seaview then and stayed in an obscure motel. Although we managed to


    locate the motel he stayed at previously, he was gone the moment we arrived and we merely found a


    photo of Madam White left behind."


    Toby was convinced upon seeing that photo that the person who had orchestrated the ident was


    most likely the person who killed Old Master Fuller too. However, Toby could not confirm that Connor


    was the mastermind back then. Now that he could, he also naturally figured out the mastermind behind


    his ident. Both incidents were orchestrated by the same person—Connor.


    "Keep going." Toby moved his lips slightly and reminded Tom.


    Tom affirmed and continued, "Connor has barely visited Seafield over the past thirty years. Besides, the


    Salzburg Family mainly deals in the jewelry and antique business, so they don''t have any business


    dealings with any of the corporations in Seafield. That''s why they don''t have any enemies in Seafield


    and their only enemy would be the Fullers."


    As soon as Tom mentioned this, he paused for a moment to find out Toby''s reaction.


    However, Tom noticed that Toby remained silent for quite some time, so he piped up again, "That''s why


    Anya''s presence in Seafield would not be a coincidence. It''s very likely that Connor sent her here to


    scout the situation and to transmit information on the Fuller Family readily. Otherwise, why didn''t he just


    leave Anya in Westsanshire? After all, it''d be logical for his daughter to remain in Westsanshire by his


    side. Why would she suddenly appear in Seafield, then? That''s why Anya''s presence in Seafield must


    be because she was assigned to monitor the Fuller Family. However, there could be another possibility


    as well."


    "Just be frank." Toby frowned impatiently.


    At that moment, Tom shrank back as he knew that the suspenseful air he tried to create had triggered


    Toby''s displeasure, so he stopped wasting time and continued, "Anya could have been intentionally


    sent by Connor to approach you and dazzle you."


    Toby was dumbfounded by that revtion. "Do you mean by seduction?"


    "Yes." Tom nodded. "I must say that you''re quite attractive, President Fuller, but I reckon that not every


    woman would fall for you at the sight of you. Even if she did fall in love with you at first sight, it wouldn''t


    make sense for her to be so infatuated to the point where she didn''t even bother to find out about the


    extent of your rtionship with Miss Reed and chose to take action against Miss Reed to clear the path


    for herself. That would be a very foolish move, so I reckon that Anya isn''t actually in love with you,


    President Fuller.


    "Her infatuation is basically just an act that she created in order for her to have a valid reason to stay in


    Seafield and approach you. Moreover, right now, I suspect that she went through stic surgery purely


    for this purpose. She used to be below average, so she went through some transformative stic


    surgery to gain her current beauty. Besides that, President Fuller, didn''t you realize something?"
