Chapter 1475 Incoming Threat
"How did he end his own life?" Toby clenched his fist tightly.
The staff member was all alone when he suddenly lost his life, and there was no explanation for his death other than he took his own life.
"According to the autopsy, he had taken pills," Tom replied.
Toby shut his eyes and said, "Okay, I got it. Let's go." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
With that, Tom started the car again. After driving for some time, he couldn't help but ask, "President Fuller, do you think that Connor was behind this?"
"There's no one else other than him," Toby replied with a somber expression.
Tom nodded. "In that case, he's declaring war on us. I thought that he'd continue to hold back. I didn't expect him to make his move all of a sudden."
"Tina kicked up a fuss at the Gray Family, causing the number of people monitoring Connor to increase. There's a lot that he can't do anymore, and he can't leave this place either, so he can only take the risk and go for it."
"I see." Tom nodded in realization. "He probably regrets coming to Seafield now, right? He must regret helping Tina even more."
Toby lowered his gaze, his emotions indecipherable. "I don't care whether he regrets it or not, but he shouldn't have dragged an innocent person into this."
"You're right, President Fuller."
Toby didn't resume conversation after that, and Tom remained silent as well, causing the atmosphere in the car to turn depressing and suffocating. Soon, they arrived at Fuller Group, which was surrounded by the media and the police.
As soon as Toby exited the car, he drew the attention of everyone around him. Reporters instantly shoved forward to swarm him in an attempt to interview him on his thoughts about this issue and how he would deal with it. However, Toby remained expressionless, showing no intention to reply.
The bodyguards around him worked together to block the reporters out, keeping them far away from Toby. Although they were unable to approach him, this did not quench their passion, and they continued to raise their microphones and shout at Toby, hoping that they would receive a response from him.
Naturally, this scene was shown on the news. At first, Titus and Julia were unaware of this issue, but they caught a glimpse when they were changing the channels, and they found out that something this serious had happened to Fuller Group.
"My goodness. Why would an accident like this happen?" Julia clapped a hand over her mouth as she watched the news playing on the television screen.
"Accident?" Titus narrowed his eyes and repeated the word meaningfully.
Julia turned to him. "What's wrong? Is it not an accident?"
"Fuller Group will never allow an accident like this to happen. Even if there are some pests, they won't dare to do something so bold because they're aware that they can't handle the consequences if anything goes wrong. Hence, they can only cause a little trouble to gain some benefits for themselves, but they certainly would not have the nerve to be negligent on something like this, especially when human lives are involved," Titus explained.
Julia caught on and said, "In that case, Toby's company's signboard didn't fall down because of an accident, but because…"
"It's very likely." Titus narrowed his eyes before saying, "Someone is messing with Toby on purpose."
"Who could it be?" Julia pressed urgently.
After all, Toby was her daughter's husband and their son-in-law. They were now on the same side, so there was no way they could sit around and watch Toby struggle.
Titus shook his head. "I don't know, but there's a high chance that it's Connor."
After all, he was Toby's largest opponent.
"Him?" Julia exclaimed.
"It's highly possible!"
"Then, we have to hurry up and tell Toby." Upon saying that, she began to look for her phone.
Titus shook his head. "No need for that. If I can think of this, there's no way Toby can't. He probably already knows. I'm sure he'll take care of it."
Julia agreed with him, but she didn't place her phone down and called Sonia instead. "I'll give Sonny a call. With things getting this serious, she must be really worried about Toby. I have to comfort her."
He didn't stop her as he was worried about their daughter as well.
Soon, the call went through, and Sonia's shallow voice sounded. "Hello?"
"Sonny, it's Mom," Julia hurriedly said.
Sonia hummed to show that she knew this. "Do you need anything?"
"Yes." Julia hastily asked, "Sonny, do you know what happened to Fuller Group?"
Sonia hummed in assent. "I do. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing." Julia shook her head before continuing, "I was just a little worried that you'd be affected by this. After all, you must be worried if something happened to Fuller Group."
"I am, a little, but Toby said that he'll take care of it and told me not to worry," Sonia replied.
With Toby's capabilities, he would definitely be able to handle it.
"So, Toby called to let you know?" Julia asked.
Sonia nodded. "Yes."
"Good, that's good." Julia let out a sigh of relief. "I thought that Toby didn't let you know beforehand, and I was worried that you won't be able to relax."
"He wouldn't do that. Don't worry." A smile curved the corners of Sonia's lips.
Julia nodded. "Okay, then I don't have to worry anymore. But, Sonny, where are you? It doesn't sound like you're in the hospital anymore. I heard the sound of a car just now."
"It's Grandma's birthday today, and I'm going back to the old manor to celebrate it with her. I'm on the way now," Sonia explained, turning her gaze to the rapidly passing scenery outside the window.
Julia said in realization, "I see. All right, in that case, I won't bother you anymore. Please wish Old Mrs. Fuller a happy birthday on our behalf."
"Okay," Sonia promised.
"Was it Mrs. Gray?" Next to her, Mary asked after Sonia put her phone down.
Sonia tossed her phone into her bag and replied, "It's her. She saw the news on the internet and felt that I would be worried about Toby, so she called to comfort me and tell me not to overthink."
Mary smiled. "She's not a bad mother."
Sonia pursed her lips at her words without replying. At the sight of this, Mary didn't continue either.
Suddenly, the car came to a stop.
"What's wrong?" Sonia asked the driver.
The driver turned around and replied, "I don't know. The car in front stopped."
This was a private road, so there was no way for any other cars to show up. Even if there were, it would be their convoy. Logically speaking, they should safely arrive at the old manor without any obstacles, but they were now being held back.
"Did something happen to the car in front?" Sonia asked.
Both the cars in the front and back were filled with bodyguards, and the main car that only seated Sonia and Mary was in the middle, protected by two of the escort cars.
"I'm not sure. Please hold on, Mrs. Fuller, I'll ask them." After saying that, the driver picked up a device in the car to call the cars in front.
Soon, they received a response. "A group of people is blocking the way in front, so we can't pass through."
"Blocking the way?" Sonia's brow furrowed. "This is the Fuller Family's private road. Who would block the way here?"
"Did something happen?" Mary asked anxiously.
Sonia opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say as she was just as clueless.
"Oh no, they're coming over." The voices of the bodyguards from the car in front sounded from the device in the driver's hand once again.
Soon after, Sonia watched as a group of burly men dressed in black appeared in front of the car in front of them before roughly pulling the doors open. The four bodyguards inside exited the car and began tussling with them. Each of the bodyguards was extremely skilled and could take on a few men alone, but the muscular invaders were clearly not incompetent either. Using their numbers, they soon restrained the four bodyguards.
Just then, the bodyguards in the car behind Sonia's vehicle spoke up. "Mrs. Fuller, these people are up to no good. Please remain seated in the car and don't leave. We're going to deal with them."
"Okay. Please be careful." Sonia nodded.
