CHAPTER 1481 COLLECTIVE HELP
Tina could not accept that explanation, but she had no choice but to obey it. She depended on Connor for a living, so if she dared to defy him, he would certainly take her life.
She bit her lip and looked at Sonia reluctantly. "Fine. You're lucky I can't do anything to you because you have your child as protection, but don't you get too cocky! I can still slap you whenever I want. That ought to do some damage to you." With that, she left the warehouse.
In the meantime, Xander looked at Sonia and clucked his tongue. "You're in such bad shape. I'm sure Toby would be heartbroken to see you like this." He fished out his phone and snapped a picture before leaving as well.
At that point, the dizzy and suffering Sonia deduced that she might have a slight concussion because Tina had put all her force into those slaps! A while after Xander left, she could not hold on any longer and fainted with her head tilted to the side.
Outside the warehouse, Connor was reprimanding Tina. When she almost took Sonia's life earlier, she overstepped the line as he needed Sonia to threaten Toby. How was he going to do with a dead woman?
That was why he was giving Tina the same treatment she had given Sonia earlier. The only difference was Sonia gritted her teeth and made no sound, while Tina started begging from the pain of one slap.
Xander sneered as he watched the scene and then sent the pictures he took to Toby.
On the other hand, Toby was making his way to the relevant departments to check the satellites when
his phone suddenly vibrated. After taking it out and seeing the picture, he was instantly enraged and filled with murderous intent. He could hardly breathe because the picture showed Sonia tied to a chair with messy hair, swollen cheeks, and blood at the corner of her lips. It was obvious that someone had tortured her.
Looking at her appearance, Toby was loaded with anger and heartbreak. The person in the picture was the love of his life, his wife! He blamed himself for implicating her in the hatred between the Fullers and the Salzburg Family, causing her unnecessary hardship.
Also, there was an arrogant provocation attached to the picture. 'Toby Fuller, are you angry? Do you feel heartbroken? The anger and pain you're currently feeling are the same as how I felt back then.'
That was certainly not from Connor. Firstly, it was not in his nature to do something like that, and secondly, why would he feel anger and heartbreak? Therefore, that caption was likely from Tina or someone besides Connor that hated Toby.
"President Fuller, what happened?" Tom, who was driving, noticed Toby's murderous aura and gripped the steering wheel.
Toby clutched his phone tightly without answering. Instead, he ordered, "Drive faster!" He had to get to the surveillance footage as soon as possible to find Sonia. Otherwise, something might happen to her if he were too late.
"Got it!" Although Tom did not know what had happened, he could guess it was nothing fortunate. Therefore, he immediately stomped on the accelerator and drove at full speed.
On the hill, Xander waited for a while but was disappointed when he did not receive any replies from Toby. He thought Toby would warn him not to harm Sonia, but that guy did not even respond.
Feeling disinterested, he put away his phone and went to look for Connor. When he passed by Tina, he looked at her like she was trash.
On the other hand, the satellite surveillance system proved its mighty power, for nothing escaped its surveillance. Soon, Tony located the route of Sonia's abduction and finally locked onto a particular hill.
It was not far from Fuller Residence, so Connor might have chosen there because he thought it was a good idea to hide in plain sight.
Once they confirmed the abductors stayed put on the hill after settling Sonia, Tom asked Toby, "President Fuller, Mrs. Fuller is right there. Let's prepare to rescue her. The police and military forces have begun operation, and the thermal imager has been brought over there too."
Since the hill was large, the satellite surveillance system could only search above ground, so they failed to detect further. If there were any caves inside those hills, they would not be able to see inside, which would make their search even harder.
In such a situation, a professional thermal imager came in handy. The body temperature of a human was different from an animal's, so they only had to use the machine to scan the hill to find out where Connor and the others were.
"Since we know where she is, of course, we should get started. Come on!" Toby strode out of the department.
He was going to personally rescue his wife back home. When Rose and Mary found out that he had discovered where Sonia was, they exhorted him to save Sonia. Had it not been for their old age, they would have tagged along.
Once Toby exited the relevant department and was about to hop into the car, an MPV suddenly approached them and stopped before him.
When the door opened, Charles jumped out of the car, followed by Zane, who reached inside the vehicle, seemingly helping someone to alight. The next moment, Toby saw Zane assisting Titus.
"You—" Before Toby could finish, Charles threw his fist at Toby's face. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
With a tilt of his head, Toby dodged the attack and immediately grabbed Charles' wrist.
Since Charles was not as tall and strong as Toby, he naturally did not have much strength in comparison to Toby. Therefore, Toby easily won against him.
"Let go of me. Toby, you let go of me." Charles roared in anger, "You b*stard. Do you remember what you said before? You said you would protect Sonny and never let her get into any kind of danger. Now, tell me. Is this how you keep your promises?"
When faced with Charles' questions, Toby felt guilty because he had indeed broken his promise.
"I will save her, and if anything happens to her, I'll go with her!" Toby looked at Charles with his dark eyes, expressing his stance in a stern tone.
Sensing the sincerity in his words, Charles snorted coldly as his anger diminished. "Why aren't you
letting go?"
Toby pushed him back and released his hand before looking at Zane and Titus. "Why are you two here?"
"How can we not come over when something as huge as this happened to Sonia? We're here for the rescue!" Zane replied.
Titus nodded. "She's my daughter. Though I've never raised her and even mistreated her, I have to save her as a father since she's in a dangerous situation. I can't just wait in my ward and do nothing."
It was in a father's nature to protect his daughter. Moreover, he had done nothing for Sonia in the past, so he had to save her this time.
"Your body condition doesn't allow you to stay out for too long, and you might not make it back alive." Toby looked at Titus and told him about the possible outcome.
However, Titus laughed. "I understand that. It's also a kind of happiness to sacrifice oneself for your children. I've already realized that earlier on."
Hearing that, Toby did not argue further. "How did you know something happened to Sonia?" He looked at Zane. His intuition told him that Zane was the first to find out.
"You mobilized a large force and caused such a huge commotion, and you even came here. As a member of the dignitaries, how could I not hear about that? I only had to ask around to know what was going on, so I called Charles and President Gray. Plus, I want to help. You wouldn't reject me, right?" Zane asked with a smile.
