Chapter 1274
Sonia couldn’t help chuckling with amusement seeing how desperate the man tried not to upset her. “I know. I didn’t get the wrong idea, nor am I overthinking. If you discover someone looking a lot like me and yet you’re not bothered by it, now that’s a red flag. That means I mean nothing to you at all.”
Hearing so, Toby heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that she didn’t get the wrong idea.
“But Salzburg and Steinfeld are indeed conniving.” Toby frowned, having nothing but aversion for the two. “He deliberately had her undergo surgery to look like you precisely because he believes I’ll keep her by my side if she looks like you. Then, from then on, she can become his spy and update him about me whenever. But little did they expect me to find nothing similar about you and Anya. That’s why she never found a chance to get close to me. So instead, she reached her hands toward you.”
“You’re saying she had done all the hullabaloo and even destroyed our gifts just so that we’d remember her and not treat her as just some random stranger?” Sonia pursed her lips.
Toby nodded. “If she doesn’t do any of that, then she’d really be just a nobody to us. In fact, we might just forget about her the next second. Forget about becoming Salzburg’s spy; she won’t even have a chance to appear before us! And it turns out her scheme worked. We remember who she is.”
“Touché.” Sonia shrugged.
“Anya’s job is to act as the honeypot,” explained Toby as he rubbed his temples. “Even if she knows that she might fail, she won’t give up when she has your eyes. She also had the notion when she came to me earlier. But she didn’t expect me to find out that she isn’t biologically related to Connor and even say it to her. Now, her plan is down in the gutter.”
