Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 1263

If Sonia had heard the complaints of these ladies, she might feel amused. In fact, she might even thank them for helping her out. However, neither she nor Toby knew about this little episode.

Anya was facing Toby, her mind buzzing.

She was shocked Toby would say she wasn't Connor's daughter. Her back was drenched with sweat, and she could feel her skin sticking to the fabric. Even with the heater turned on, she still felt chilly, and her heart was thumping furiously.

Impossible. Why did he say that? Does he know? Did he find out I'm not Connor's daughter? Or is this a bluff? She had no idea how much he knew, but she didn't let her guard down. She held her wheelchair's armrest tightly and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "What do you mean, President Fuller? I don't understand what you're talking about. Would you please elaborate?"

She stared deep into his eyes, trying to see if he was bluffing, but he was inscrutable. She couldn't find any answer she was looking for, and it annoyed her to no end. Damn you, Toby. Still as mysterious as ever.

"Don't try to call my bluff. I know what you're trying to say. You and Connor claim to be father and daughter, but do you think I wouldn't look into it myself? My sources say your claims are false. There are three possibilities for that. First, you lied to Connor, and he still doesn't know you aren't his daughter, but that's nigh impossible. You aren't smart enough to trick him, after all.

"So, this leaves us with two other possibilities. One, he asked you to be his fake daughter, but you are unaware of his plan, so you think you're his real daughter. The second possibility shares the first part of the first situation, but you know you aren't his real daughter, yet you agreed to the deal for some reason. And guess what? The look on your face just now has told me the last scenario is the answer."

Anya's face fell as soon as he stated his deduction, panic filling her eyes. "You…"

Dammit. He knows the truth. Does he know that I… No, he can't possibly know that. If he knew, he would have me arrested before I could get a hundred yards near him. I can still get away from this. Stay calm. Don't panic. If he notices that I'm panicking, he will find out the truth. Then, it's game over. Anya told herself to calm down and recomposed herself in case she showed more fear than she should.

"Well, I don't see the point in lying at this point. Yes, I'm not his daughter. He asked me to be his fake daughter, and the reason was simple. He has a beef with you. Though, I know nothing about the grudge he holds against you. All I know is that it involves the last generation. He wanted me to play the daughter part and sent me here, so I could approach you and become your girlfriend. Only then can I infiltrate your family and tell him your every move."

That was the truth, but not the whole reason she came to Seafield. I have another reason. She looked away and stared at the ground to hide the look in her eyes. She then put on a smile once again. "He got me here just so I could get closer to you. My mission is to become your girlfriend. If I can't even meet up with you, I can't complete my mission. So, he gave me the chance. This banquet is perfect for the mission, and he refused to let this chance slip. I'm just a poor pawn, and I had no choice but to do as I was told."

Anya pretended to heave a sigh of exasperation as she shrugged. "Our first meeting was something he arranged as well. For some reason, he found out you were going to pass that route that night, so he asked me to wait until you showed up. Then, I was forced to run into your car. That was risky, but he wanted me to leave a deep impression on you. I didn't mean to attack Miss Reed back at the hospital. It was all him. I'm innocent." She shifted all the blame onto Connor.

However, Toby was unconvinced. Instead, he shot her a look of scorn. "Do you think I'd believe that?"
