Chapter 866 As It Turns Out, It’s the Salzburg Family
Toby was on cloud nine after getting coaxed by the woman he loved. This was shown through his upturned lips and
the slight tilt of his chin.
When Sonia noticed his proud look, she laughed while shaking her head in amusement.
After that, he helped her stand before she wore her slippers and left the room to go to the bathroom.
At first, she didn’t want him to help since she wasn’t injured or disabled. But he insisted on it; she couldn’t stop him
and just accepted his support.
When Sonia came out of the bathroom after washing up, Toby had already prepared her breakfast on the dining
table.
As soon as she walked to the table, he pulled out the chair for her and tapped on it. “Come sit.”
When she heard that, she gave a slight hum of acknowledgment before sitting down. And then, a set of cutlery
appeared in front of her.
When she looked at the cutlery set handed over by Toby, Sonia raised her eyebrows a little before reaching out to
take them. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” He sat down next to her. “You should dig in. These are all yours.”
As she looked at the big breakfast in front of her, a jovial smile appeared on her face.
Just then, something came to her mind. Her hands that were holding the fork and spoon came to a halt as she
asked, “Did you have your breakfast?”
With his elbow on the dining table, he rested his chin on his palm and replied to her with a nod, “I did. I woke up
early today and had my breakfast while having a video conference in your workspace.”
Sonia nodded when she heard his answer and said, “Okay then.” If he hadn’t eaten yet, they could have had
breakfast together now.
“By the way, don’t you need to be at the Fuller Group?” she asked after biting into the sausage.

However, he only shook his head in reply. “I’ve been busy for the past few days, and it’s the weekend today, so I
can rest for a day. But this will be my last rest day before year-end.”
He would need to start hustling again after today, and then he could relax once Christmas was over.
When Sonia heard that, she looked at Toby with some sympathy in her eyes. “Well, it can’t be helped. With such a
huge family business, your responsibilities will be much heavier. You can only endure it.” Then, in pity, she patted
his shoulder.
He chuckled as he glanced at her hand on his shoulder. “Okay, okay. Eat up. When you’re done, we need to go to
the police station to meet Anya.”
Anya had hired a lawyer for herself, so, of course, they needed to send a lawyer over to handle the case as well.
As soon as Sonia heard that they were to meet Anya later, her expression became serious. She simply replied,
“Okay.” and quickened the speed of her hands.
Indeed, she still needed to meet Anya. Since she didn’t get to see Anya yesterday, she needed to do so today, by
hook or by crook.
Suddenly, a ringtone sounded and killed the mood a little. With a frown, Toby took out his phone. Clearly, it was his
phone ringing.
Sonia took a glimpse at the caller ID on his screen. Then, she took a sip of the milk and said, “Tom’s calling. Hurry!
Pick it up.”
With a nod, Toby unlocked the screen with a swipe of his thumb and answered the call, “What is it?”
“President Fuller.” Tom’s voice resonated from the other side of the phone. “About Anya’s identity that you asked
me to investigate yesterday, I’ve found some information.”
“Really?” Toby straightened immediately once he heard that.
When he picked up the phone, he didn’t mind Sonia listening to their conversation, even putting it on loudspeaker,
which obviously meant that she could hear what Tom had just said.
The cutleries in her hands came to a halt as she transferred her focus from her breakfast to Toby’s phone the
instant she heard that Tom had found something on Anya’s identity.
When Tom heard Toby’s query, he nodded, then shook his head. “Just a little clue. I still can’t find out her real
identity.”
Toby frowned as soon as he heard the unsatisfying result.
On the other hand, Sonia felt slightly disappointed too, but she could understand where he was coming from. The
person behind Anya had tried so hard to forge an identity for her. So, it certainly would not be easy to have the
truth surfacing immediately. But, even if it was just a little clue, it was already good enough.
“What clue?” Toby asked while pressing his lips together.
Tom’s expression turned serious. “I discovered that Anya is connected to the Salzburg Family.”
“What?!” Toby’s pupils contracted at once, and the air around him turned cold. “Salzburg Family?”
When Sonia suddenly saw him become agitated, she was confused. What about the Salzburg Family?
But almost immediately, she remembered that the man Toby’s mother was in love with was a Salzburg.
Perhaps Anya Steinfeld is a part of the Salzburg Family? This is quite possible based on what we know so far about
her forged identity. But I don’t recall any heiresses in that family.
Even when Sonia was not familiar with Fredburg’s social circle, she still knew that there were only a few family
members in that family. Moreover, they were well-known for having only one son in each generation. How could a
unique family trait like that not be famous in their social circles?
Not to mention that the head of the Salzburg Family now, Connor Salzburg, who was the true love of Toby’s mother,
had never married because he had always been in love with Toby’s mother.
In fact, 20 years ago, he was actually going to get married. But when he heard the news about Toby’s mother’s
suicide, he called off the engagement and had been single since then. Therefore, he definitely had no children.
If Anya really is a Salzburg, then what is her relationship with Connor? Is she his daughter?
Worried, Sonia looked at the man beside her. She knew that Toby always had mixed emotions toward the Salzburg
Family.
Connor was the man whom his mother deeply loved. But at the same time, he most probably was the murderer of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmToby’s father. So, it was normal for him to get triggered once anyone mentioned the Salzburg Family within his
vicinity.
At this thought, Sonia reached out her hand and put it on Toby’s, which was clenched tightly into a fist. Then, she
tapped gently on his hand to comfort him.
Toby immediately realized that she was worried, and he was startled for a few seconds before turning his head to
look at her.
When he noticed her concerned look, his eyes flickered, and he realized that his reaction had made her anxious.
In order to adjust his state of mind, he took a deep breath and loosened the tension in his body. After that, he
unclenched his fist and held her hand in his palm before gently squeezing her hand to let her know that he was fine.
On the other side of the phone, Tom had no idea what was in Toby’s mind. So, he continued earnestly. “Yes, the
Salzburg Family. I went to Mr. Coleman and requested his help to use his power to check whose authorization was
used to alter the population census and modify Anya Steinfeld’s information. In the end, we tracked it back to the
Deputy Chief managing the population census, who has a connection with the Salzburg Family. I immediately
confronted him with the evidence of him modifying the information in the population census, and he came clean,
telling me that the head of the Salzburg Family instructed him to do so.”
“Connor Salzburg…” Toby muttered the name under his breath, but his tone was so menacing that it was
bloodcurdling.
After all, there was a possibility that Connor was the murderer of Toby’s father. Even though there was no evidence,
the possibility was still high. So, naturally, Toby wasn’t particularly fond of him.
“So, what’s the relationship between Anya and Connor?” Toby narrowed his eyes dangerously.
If Connor had personally made the order to forge Anya’s identity, it would mean that their relationship was not so
simple. They had to be very close to each other, at least. Were they relatives? Or father and daughter?
“Sorry, President Fuller. I still haven’t gotten there yet. I’ve asked the Deputy Chief, and he said he wasn’t sure
either. He did what he did only because Connor Salzburg instructed him to do so, and the strange thing is that he
told me that he did modify Anya’s information, but he didn’t forge an identity for her. He was just correcting her
information,” Tom explained.
