Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 1006

As Connor had said, he was indeed eager for revenge, but he wouldn't really kill the latter right away to save

trouble. If he were to do that, he would ruin the accomplishments Norman had made with his own life.

Given Norman's past contributions, the country wouldn't hold him accountable for killing Connor, but it would use

Norman's meritorious exploits to cancel out the impact and trouble caused by him killing Connor like that. Norman

had performed meritorious deeds at the cost of his own life, so it really wasn't worth it to use them to cancel out

the problems caused by Connor's death. He wouldn't do that either, so he would use the most righteous means of

revenge: he would find the evidence of Connor's crimes before requesting the top guns to let him execute Connor

in person. He believed that they wouldn't turn down such a request. As long as he didn't do anything reckless and

cause hundreds of thousands of people to lose their jobs or their families, the authorities would definitely satisfy

him for Norman's sake.

Connor's grip on the dragon's head on his walking stick tightened when he heard Toby's words. However, he

loosened his grip with a dismissive smile soon afterward, saying, "Is that so? In that case, let's see what you're

capable of."

Toby raised his chin slightly while looking down at Connor with the aid of his height. "You won't be disappointed. I

just hope that you won't beg me for mercy when the day comes."

Naturally, Connor didn't like it when Toby looked at him with contempt like this. However, he couldn't do anything

about it because of the latter's height, so he had no choice but to put up with it while barely managing to keep

smiling. "Of course I won't."

"Good to hear that," Toby replied coldly with his hands in his trouser pockets. Then, he threatened airily, "I hope

you'll have the spare parts delivered to Paradigm Co. within an hour. Otherwise, even if I can't take your life at the

moment, I can make you suffer. Try me if you don't believe it."

Connor replied with a chuckle, "Rest assured, son. Since I've promised to return the spare parts, I won't put it off, of

course. So there are some things that you can't do even if you want to."

Toby's eyes flickered slightly. "Is that so? That's too bad. I was hoping that you could be a bit late." If this old man

does so, I'll have a reason to give him trouble.

Connor let out another chuckle. "Now that you've fulfilled your purpose in coming here, I wonder if you can talk

about my purpose."

"What do you want?" Toby squinted.

Connor stood up as well. "As you know, I've never set foot in Seafield over the past 30 years. Now I'm here for my

only daughter."

"So Anya really is your illegitimate daughter?" Toby cut him short.

Connor lowered his eyes to conceal the look in them. "Of course. What's wrong? Are you suspecting that she isn't

my daughter?"

"The police have told me about the way you interacted with Anya. It's hard for me to believe that you two are

father and daughter," Toby replied, admitting straightforwardly that he didn't believe it.

Connor smiled calmly. "I see. No wonder you're suspicious. It's normal for you to be suspicious, though. It's true that

I'm not nice to my daughter. After all, she is a disgrace to a man. I believe that you'd also be like that if you were

me."

"That'd be impossible." Toby's thin lips curled into a cold sneer. "Firstly, I'm not like you. I wouldn't keep on saying

that I love someone while getting involved with another woman out there at the same time, nor would I produce a

love child. Not only do you treat your illegitimate child badly, but you even regard her as a disgrace. Didn't you

bring disgrace upon yourself by giving way to your lust?"

One could say that these words unceremoniously blew Connor's cover and exposed the most hypocritical side of

him to the sun. An illegitimate child was indeed a disgrace to a man. However, the disgrace wasn't brought by the

illegitimate child; it was brought by the man upon himself for failing to restrain his urges. Connor was such a man.

Despite being the one in the wrong, he put all the blame on his illegitimate daughter, thinking that it was the latter's

presence that had brought disgrace upon him. Thinking that he had done nothing wrong, he put his actions out of

his mind. Such a man was a typical example of selfishness, and such a selfish person usually loved themselves the

most. They would never fall in love with anyone else.

So, my mother... Toby sneered inwardly in mockery. Did you see that, Mom? Such is the man you love.

Little did Connor think Toby would say such things without sparing his feelings. Perhaps because he knew that Toby

was right and that he was such a person, he found the latter's words unacceptable at this very moment. For a

moment, he got so exasperated that he stared at Toby with bloodshot eyes. He uttered sinisterly between clenched

teeth, "Don't you worry that I'll get angry when you say these things?"

Toby laughed as if he had heard a cosmic joke. "Do you think I should be worried?" He took a step forward to close

in on Connor. With his height and his commanding presence, he was more outstanding than Connor in every

aspect. Moreover, he was a fierce tiger in its prime, whereas Connor was already an old wolf in the twilight of its

life. It was a no-brainer which of them would win if they were to come head-to-head. In terms of presence alone,

Connor was several notches below him, for he totally suppressed Connor.

"I'm not at all worried about whether you'll be unhappy. Even if I kill you right now, no one would dare to say

anything, so you should be glad that my grandfather's meritorious service is saving your life for the time being.

Don't get ahead of yourself and forget whose territory this is and who you're facing. Are you even qualified to

threaten me?" He looked down at Connor with a mercilessly cold look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead

person.

Connor had always thought he was the one who brought the fear of death upon others in his life. However, he

never dreamed that he would feel the fear of death brought upon him by somebody else one day. Furthermore,

that somebody was a young man 30 years his junior. Such a blow was indeed a humiliation to him. At the same

time, it made him realize that he was indeed getting ahead of himself. He had forgotten that he was in Seafield, not

Westsanshire. Also, he had forgotten that the person he was facing wasn't any of those who had feared him in the

past, but the demon king who harbored grudges against him but was of a much higher status than he was. This was

his mistake.

Seeing how Connor fell silent with a darkened expression, Toby withdrew his gaze. "I have a rough idea what your

purpose is. You want me to let Anya off, so you first went to my woman. But you failed, which was why you

intercepted her company's spare parts to threaten her."

Connor's ringed thumb moved slightly to rub against the dragon's head on his walking stick. "You're right. I thought

she was a persuadable and soft-hearted woman, so I went to her after arriving in Seafield. I thought it'd be easy for

me to achieve my goal. As long as she was willing to forgive Anya, I could offer double compensation. However, she

turned me down, so I had no choice but to resort to this. Still, I didn't think that my plan would fail. She's even more

stubborn than I imagined. She refuses to relent even under such circumstances."

"She's my woman. If she were to give in so easily, I wouldn't have fallen in love with her," Toby said through his thin

lips without concealing the pride in his voice.

"Is that so?" Connor's eyes flickered.

Toby then said, "On the other hand, you intercepted the goods to coerce my woman when you failed to reach your

objective. Don't you worry that I'll get angry when you do so?"
