Chapter 1264

He doesn’t believe me at all. He thinks Connor and I are in cahoots. That I’m not truly being forced and have wanted to do these all along. Dammit. I know he’s paranoid, but this is too much. Still, I need to keep up the act. At this point, giving up would be worse for me.

Anya took a deep breath as she tightened her hold on the armrest before forcing a smile. “President Fuller, I know you don’t believe me, and I understand why. I shouldn’t have gone after Miss Reed, and I regret what I did. I was being forced to. If you hadn’t exposed my fake identity as Connor’s real daughter, I would have kept everything a secret. I mustered a lot of courage to tell you this. If Connor finds out that I sold him out, he’ll bite my head off. I’m in danger now, President Fuller. Can you—”

“Enough.” Toby stood up and put his hands in his pockets. Then, he fixed his gaze on her with an icy look in his eyes. “I won’t believe you, no matter how much you say. So, stop scheming, or I’ll make you suffer before Connor does.”

She froze, and all the color drained from her face. She tried to say something, but not a single word came out. His icy tone and withering look scared her. How could he not believe a single word I said? Goddammit! She hung her head low and gritted her teeth.

He then looked away coolly. “I don’t know why you told me so much about your deal with Connor, and I don’t care. Get this through your head: no matter what you’re trying to do, it won’t work. Though, now you’ve piqued my interest.”

She raised her head at that. Huh? What’s that supposed to mean?

Anya was trying to figure out why he said that, but then he narrowed his eyes and stared at her. “I’d like to know what your true identity is.”
