Madam Escaped Again Sir

Chapter 1042

"That's right." Sonia nodded. "It's as you said."

"Then, the one behind all this is a woman?" Daphne was wide-eyed.

Nodding subtly, Sonia answered, "Yes." She was a hundred percent sure that a woman was behind all this.

Naturally, there were men that loved her and wanted to see her and Toby break up, with some of them being Charles and Carl.

However, as much as they would like that to happen someday, they would not have resorted to this kind of despicable method.

After all, dirty tactics like this might allow them to achieve their aim, but their reputations would also be tarnished at the same time. As such, they could safely be excluded from the culprit list.

Even if they wanted to bring someone down, they would only do it one-sidedly to Toby.

Contradictorily, the internet now was awash with news of her 'cheating' while Toby remained innocent. This made it obvious that the person's target was Sonia whereas Toby got to maintain his image. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, the answer revealed itself-the mastermind was a woman that fancied Toby.

"Now you understand why I said the perpetrator wasn't the person that stole our components, right?" Sonia looked at her secretary.

Nodding, Daphne responded, "I understand, but who were the people that stole our parts?"

"It was Connor from the Salzburg Family in Westsanshire." Now that they retrieved their parts back, Sonia did not hesitate to reveal the fact from her anymore, so she told her outright.

Shocked, Daphne replied, "Him?"

"That's right." Sonia's gaze turned cold. "The reason why he took our parts was because I turned her daughter in to the police. He wanted to use that to threaten me into dropping the charges."

"His daughter..." As Daphne pondered for a while, she seemed to remember something before looking at her. "President Reed, if my memory serves me right, the one you reported was the person that fancied President Fuller and dug up some dirt of yours before demanding you to post an apology online, isn't that right? She also messed up your dress. Isn't that woman called... Anya Steinheid? She's Connor's daughter?"

"Yup." Sonia confirmed her theory.

Daphne had an eureka moment. "I didn't think that they were father and daughter. President Reed, this might be the handiwork of Connor then. Since Anya fancied Toby and wanted to dig up dirt on you, Connor might have done it on behalf of his daughter. It's only by separating you two does she have a shot."

Amused by her deduction, Sonia replied, "If it were another person, you might have gotten it correct. But, for these two people, it's impossible. After all, Connor and Toby are sworn enemies. So, why would he allow his daughter to get married to Toby? Isn't that just sending her to her demise? By letting her marry him, he's giving Toby the chance to use his daughter for him to get his revenge; only the insane would do that."

Dumbfounded, Daphne commented, "I didn't know that Connor and President Fuller had such a deep hatred for each other. If so, then Connor wouldn't do it for his daughter. Also, she wouldn't be able to do this herself too, seeing how she's still locked up. It can only be another woman then.

President Reed, is there a chance that a woman who likes President Fuller is jealous of you, so she wants you two to break up and have him all to herself?"

Rubbing her temples, Sonia replied somewhat tiringly, "How will I know? The queue of the women that like Toby and want to replace me can run circles around the city. After all, his capabilities and looks are so outstanding. This is why there are so many potential suspects to begin with. It'd be like finding a needle in a haystack if we want to capture the culprit."

"That's true." Daphne nodded. "But in spite of that, didn't you mention that he had declared a long time ago so that no women dares to approach him in fear of offending him and causing trouble for their families? Clearly, the mastermind has the guts to do this still. This means that the woman must have quite an influential family, which can at least rival the Fullers. That's why she isn't afraid of offending President Fuller. Even if she did do so, she wouldn't have to worry about the consequences for herself or her family. They might even be capable of protecting Squirrel Media. Maybe that is the reason they were so bold. President Reed, I think we can start our investigation from this point."

Sitting up straight, Sonia replied, "That reminded me of something. The families that are capable of doing this are countable on two hands."

"Worst case scenario, I can call Squirrel Media and force it out of them using President Fuller's name," Daphne suggested.

Sonia laughed. "You mean to fake it till we make it?" "Sometimes, we have to use certain methods to get what we want. Besides, since President Fuller's name is so powerful, why not do it?" Daphne smiled.

Since Sonia saw that she became a lot more joyful after knowing about the pregnancy, she was relieved as she nodded. "Okay. I'll try asking them."

"I'll find their contact for you." Daphne bent over and used Sonia's computer.

Not stopping her, Sonia watched on.

The moment Daphne found the number, Sonia picked her phone up and dialed it.

Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door.

Daphne signaled to Sonia, whose call was not answered yet, and went over to the door before opening it.

There was an assistant standing outside.

"Is there anything?" Daphne looked at the person.

Not replying immediately, the assistant looked over Daphne's shoulders and saw Sonia sitting behind the desk before she said, "Miss Daphne, there are a lot of reporters downstairs that want to interview President Reed."

"What?" Daphne frowned.

Sonia, who heard it too, was not surprised.

This was because the paparazzis were like flies attracted to dung anytime anything happened.

Even she had lost count of the number of times these paparazzis had tried to get a word out of her.

"President Reed, how are we dealing with this?"

Aware that Sonia heard what the person was saying, Daphne did not bother to convey the words as she asked for her thoughts instead.

Still looking at the dialing screen, Sonia nonchalantly said, "Don't give them any attention and just chase them away." "Chase them away?" Daphne hesitated at her actions. "Don't you want to send someone to clear this up and say that the news online is fake, stating that everything isn't what Squirrel Media makes it out to be? There are a lot of controversies about you online, so it might affect your reputation if this drags on. Shouldn't we make our statement clear with the media now?"

"It's useless." Sonia shook her head. "With someone behind the scenes, even if we tried to clear our names, I think the released content would differ from what we said. So, there's no need to waste our time."

"But, if we don't send someone to deal with them, the journalists will assume that Squirrel Media have reported the truth and that you declined the interview out of guilt," Daphne persuaded.

Smiling, Sonia stated, "Fine by me. Since we have to solve this anyway, I'll let them run their mouths for now. Sooner or later, they will get slapped in the face by reality. Besides, who knows if the reporters aren't arranged by the mastermind? If they are, won't I be in danger if I were to head down?"

Daphne, who was shocked, seemed to think that she made sense.

Hence, she stopped persuading her. "Okay. I'll call security and chase them away."

She was about to leave when Sonia called out to her, "Wait."

Stopping in her tracks, Daphne turned around. "Do you have any other orders, President Reed?"
