Chapter 994

Sonia snorted coldly. "I can solve this problem on my own. I don't need his help."

"What?" Connor had been sitting on the couch with crossed legs, but he jumped to his feet abruptly when he heard

that. "You didn't seek help from Toby?"

"So what if I didn't receive any help from him? What's with the surprised reaction, Mr. Salzburg? Are you perhaps

hoping that he will help me?" She rolled her eyes in contemplation.

He had grabbed the dragon ferrule of the walking stick so tightly that veins were protruding on the back of his

hand. "That's not it. I'm just surprised that you don't need Toby's help to handle the situation. It seems like I've

underestimated you, Miss Reed. You're more capable than I thought."

Sonia bit her lips. "I'm flattered, Mr. Salzburg."

Listening to her sarcastic remarks, Connor displayed a fearsome expression on his dimmed face. Now, he was

certain that she had not sought help from Toby at all. So, the plan of using her to go against Toby had to be put on

hold.

"Miss Reed." He shut his eyes and sat on the couch while attempting to smother the fury boiling in him. "I've given

you two days to think about it, but I think that there's no need for us to meet up today anymore."

"There's no need to do so from the first start." Sonia retaliated straightforwardly.

Connor's face contorted in sinister grim. "That sharp tongue of yours. I wonder if you have the capability to

compensate for your ill behavior, Miss Reed."

Her eyes wavered at that. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Salzburg? Are you going to hurt me if you don't achieve

your goals?"

"Who knows? That's it, Miss Reed. I've called you just to know your decision and I know now. It is not necessary for

this conversation to continue any further." He gave an implicit answer.

"Hold on!" She suddenly stopped him.

Connor was a little surprised. "Is there anything else, Miss Reed?"

"Mr. Salzburg, have you forgotten something?" Ire began to burn in her eyes.

His brows knitted tightly. "What?"

"The components. Shouldn't you return them to me? I've paid for them and yet, you snatched all of them without

any compensation. That's stealing! You could return me the money at the very least. How could you steal someone

else's things without paying? That's ridiculous!" she exclaimed with clenched fists.

He was stunned as he had not expected to hear such words and he could not believe his ears. "What? Are you

asking me to either return the components or pay back the money?"

"What else then?" Sonia pursed her lips. "As I've said earlier, it is considered as stealing if you take my components

without paying any money. So, choose either one."

Connor laughed speechless. "You’ve gotta be kidding me. Who gives you the guts to demand such a request from

me? I, Connor Slazburg, have stayed in Westsanshire for so many years and I've done similar things many times,

but never once did anyone ask me for money. You're the first, Miss Reed."

"It's my honor." Sonia's expression turned into a sarcastic one. "But it seems that stealing is something you're proud

of, Mr. Salzburg. If so, I have no comments in regards to your character."

It was almost a blunt statement that implied Connor had an improper behavior of a bandit. Despite the long years

being held high in repute, no one had ever said such bold words to him.

He was aware that many disapproved of him and talked badly behind him, yet no one had ever had the audacity to

throw criticism to his face. Well, well. Look at her manners.

"Miss Reed, you're the bravest person I've ever seen so far. How dare you speak to me that way! I don't care if you

have Toby on your side, but I will never forget about today. You better watch out." He let out an ominous smile

before hanging up the phone.

Sonia placed the phone down and frowned in dismay instead of feeling triumph after chewing him out. It was rash

of her to do that.

Her initial plan was to give it a shot to salvage the components or to get compensation at the very least.

Still, she had underestimated Connor's shamelessness as stealing had become a habit of his. To him, it did not

matter if he was at fault for stealing things, but it was wrong for others to retrieve them or ask for money from

him.

He deemed it as their honor to have their belongings stolen by him; so, they should not ask him to return the items,

let alone a compensation. Otherwise, it would become the victim's fault.

So, she was disgusted yet infuriated and thus the reprimands under the impulsion.

It did feel refreshing when she hinted it at Connor at that moment, but she realized that it was a rash move

afterward. Due to the gap in terms of status and capability between them, the offense had undeniably formed a

bad blood in between.

Besides, he was a petty and vengeful bad man. It was likely that he would come up with something to get back at

Sonia in future.

Still, she did not regret her actions one bit. Instead of an implicit mockery, she used the bluntest possible words to

build the grudge in him.

As an afterthought, she raked her fingers through her hair in frustration as her bad temper did her no good. If she

continued acting in this manner, she would definitely have more to lose.

All and still, what was done had been done, so it was useless to think about it. It was best for her to think of how to

confront Connor's revenge in the future.

"Little Leaf." Toby's voice could be heard from the door.

Sonia's eyes lit up. She quickly regained her composure before raising her head to him with a smile. "You're back.

What took you so long?"

"I received a call from Tom midway," he explained while entering the office.

"Oh," she responded before falling into silence.

He looked at her gorgeous face and his gaze landed on her hair in the end. With a frown, he asked, "Your hair is a

mess."

"Huh?" She reached out to touch her hair, which was indeed in a mess like a bird nest. She recalled the moment

she messed her hair up due to frustration. It must be because of that.

While Sonia was busy primping her hair, her downcast eyes hid the glint in her eyes. She then reciprocated with a

smile. "It's probably because I kept leaning against the armrest. I lied down on the sofa when you were out."

Toby nodded without a shadow of suspicion before taking over her bag from her shoulder. "Alright. Time to go

home."

"Hmm." She stared at him with a smile and nodded. "Let's go home."

She took the initiative to hold his hand, at which he was stunned momentarily before squeezing her hand tighter, as

though he was afraid that he was going to lose her.

Joy filled her instantly because of that. "Oh, right. You should have a full medical check-up once you're free."

"Me?" His footsteps stopped before regaining its pace as he led her toward the elevator.
