Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 1086

Therefore, his future, the Gray Family, and Triforce Enterprise were already foreseeable.

In reality, he wasn't afraid of death. After all, it was too unlikely for him to find a replacement kidney as he suffered

from such an illness. The only fate awaiting him was death, as he only had less than two years left to live.

However, he was worried about Julia and Rina. What would happen to them after he died? At the moment, he could

still stand his ground against Toby and Sonia with some difficulty, but no one would be able to protect Julia and Rina

when he died.

Though he felt that he was indebted to his wife, he owed too much to his daughter. The moment Rina came into

being in Julia's womb more than 20 years ago, he had vowed to do his best to protect the child regardless of

whether it was a son or a daughter. Alas, he failed to keep his word after Rina was born, causing her to be abducted

and thrown into the river by Henry. Although he didn't know how she had survived in the end, he was still unable to

forgive Henry's actions, nor could he excuse his failure to protect his own daughter back then.

Now that Rina had finally returned, he wanted to make it up to her initially, but he didn't manage to do so in the

end. Instead, he dragged Rina into the feud between the Gray Family and the Reeds, causing her to live in fear. All

of this made him feel even more of a failure as a father.

Titus pounded his chest in remorse. Regardless, a hint of determination flickered in his wrinkled eyes. No matter

what would happen to the Gray Family in the end, he had to arrange for his wife and daughter's escape before the

day arrived. At the very least, he couldn't let them fall into Sonia and Toby's hands. Whatever it was, he'd take it on

alone!

Meanwhile, Connor, someone whom Toby was also dealing with, was also in trouble.

Connor liked to listen to opera. Since he mostly stayed in the hotel, his only entertainment was to watch videos of

past opera performances in the video room. Just when he was watching the opera in fascination, Xander came in

hurriedly, saying, "Mr. Salzburg!"

He opened his eyes with a gloomy expression. Then, he turned to look at Xander with a sinister and ferocious look

in his eyes, and he said, "I told you last time not to barge in all of a sudden when I'm listening to opera. This is

already your second time committing the same mistake."

Xander knew that his abrupt actions had angered his boss, so he quickly lowered his head in fear while apologizing,

"Sorry, Mr. Salzburg, but something serious has happened this time."

"What's the big deal?" Connor asked unhurriedly while grabbing the walking stick next to him. Obviously, he didn't

think much of what Xander had said.

When Xander saw this, he felt even more anxious. He promptly replied, "Mr. Salzburg, our goods in Westsanshire

have been intercepted at customs."

Connor immediately stopped rubbing his walking stick when he heard Xander's words. The next instant, his face

turned ghastly pale. Then, he stared at Xander intensely as he asked, "What did you say? You mean someone

intercepted our goods?"

"Yes, Mr. Salzburg." Xander nodded repeatedly. "Just half an hour ago, I got a phone call from our men stationed at

the customs checkpoint. They said that a bunch of people had suddenly popped up and seized our goods."

"Half an hour ago, huh..." Connor's face contorted as he could no longer keep his gentle and indifferent expression;

perhaps this was his true colors. "Who did it?" he asked in a chilly voice while clutching the dragon's head on his

walking stick with all his might. Finally, he continued, "I'm going to throw that person into the ocean to feed them to

the sharks. How dare they mess with my goods? I bet they're tired of living!"

Xander shook his head as he continued his report. "Nobody knows who did it, but according to our men at the

customs checkpoint, a bunch of people arrived before the men we'd sent to receive the goods. Not only that, but

instead of seizing the goods through illegal means, they openly took the goods away from the customs checkpoint

with documents issued by the related departments in their hands. Also, according to our men, those documents

were genuine, as they bore the official stamps of the related departments. So, I think the person who intercepted

our goods was definitely not an ordinary person."

"Of course, they're not." Connor looked ferocious. "If that person were so easy to deal with, how could they manage

to seize the goods openly with documents that bore the official stamps of those departments? I don't believe that

the customs have no idea that the batch of goods is ours. Yet, despite knowing this, the customs and the related

departments dared to issue documents for that person to seize our goods. This only proves that the person has a

powerful background and is on excellent terms with the higher- ups."

"Who would it be, then? I don't remember us having offended such a person before." Xander frowned in

puzzlement. They were indeed audacious, but they had brains. Usually, they wouldn't mess with such bigwigs on

their own initiative, which was why he was confused about why such a figure would want to deal with them.

Connor narrowed his eyes as he sneered. "Did you forget that we'd offended such a person before? Isn't Toby such

a person?"

Xander gaped in shock. "Sorry, Mr. Salzburg. I forgot about him."

"It's not your fault. After all, none of us would've expected Toby to do such a thing." Connor's expression was still

gloomy. "What a surprise. I've always been the one who snatches things from others; no one has dared to snatch

things from me. This is the first time my stuff has been taken away, but I can't go to that person or even sort him

out immediately. So this is how awful it feels to be unable to vent my anger or pour out my grievances, huh?" he

said in self-deprecation, but his face gave no indication of that. It was apparent that he was only poking fun at

himself.

When Xander closely regarded Connor's bloodshot eyes, he asked gingerly, "Mr. Salzburg, if this is really Toby's

doing, then what should we do about—"

Connor raised his hand to interrupt Xander. "Don't overthink this matter. We can never get the batch of goods back.

Toby can easily get back what he wants from us, but it's almost impossible for us to get back our stuff once it falls

into his hands. We're not as powerful as he is, so we can't go to him directly and warn him to return our stuff."

Xander looked worried, though. "But that batch of goods is essential. We ordered it from a foreign supplier at a

huge cost before the turn of this year. So now that goods are finally delivered only for such a thing to happen, we'll

have trouble with the factory."

Connor looked up and shot an impassive glance at him. "What's the use of saying these things right now? What's

happened has already happened, and we can never get back our stock. So what else can we do other than to solve

this with money, as Paradigm Co. did? That being said, I'm much wealthier than Paradigm Co. So it's not that I can't

afford to lose money for such things."

Xander became less perturbed once he heard that Connor already had a solution for the problems. So, he pushed

his glasses up his nose as he looked at Connor, saying, "Say, Mr. Salzburg, do you think Toby is doing so to get back

at us for intercepting Sonia's goods last time? After all, Toby intercepted our goods using the same trick this time."

Connor rubbed the dragon's head on his walking stick slightly before shaking his head slightly. "No, I don't think so.

He's gotten his revenge after we got hospitalized during the previous incident, so he wouldn't go so far as to get

back at us twice for the same reason. It's obvious that he's not taking revenge for what happened previously, but

what he's doing this time is also for Sonia's sake. Don't forget what happened to her today."

Xander realized what he meant. "Are you referring to how we hired trolls to spread rumors about her?"

Connor didn't give a definite answer. Instead, he added, "There's nothing else other than this incident. However, this

is a good thing since it can make us understand further how much Sonia matters to him. Of course, I can't snatch

the goods back, but it doesn't mean that I'm willing to swallow this in silence to avoid further trouble. Call Toby's

men later and ask them if he has decided whether he still wants the item his mother left behind. I'll give him one

more day to think about it. If he doesn't want it, then don't blame me for what I'm going to do." He smiled

maliciously.
