This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 899 Anya on the Verge of Madness

Anya’s face was on full display, but her eyes were closed as if she was asleep.

Xander noticed this and came forward. “Sir, shall I wake her?”

Connor hummed in agreement.

Xander took a look around the room and saw a cup of water on the table. It had probably been left

behind by the police officers who interrogated Anya. When he saw the cup of water, he swiftly went

over and picked it up before splashing the water onto her face.

The police officer who brought them into the room stared at them in shock. He never thought that these

two men would resort to such means to wake her up. However, Mr. Salzburg seemed to be fine with the

way his assistant treated Anya. This puzzled the police officer very much. Isn’t Anya Steinfeld Mr.

Salzburg’s daughter? Why is he completely fine with how his assistant treated his daughter?

At the same time, Anya regained consciousness after getting water splashed onto her face. She had

been a nervous wreck for the past two days, and now that she had been startled awake, she screamed

in fear.

Her piercing screams made Connor incredibly annoyed. He barked, “Shut up!”

As soon as Anya heard Connor’s voice, she stopped screaming and raised her head in disbelief.

When she saw Connor’s grim face in front of her, her eyes turned wide with fear. “M-Mr. Salzburg, why

are you here?”



She gulped in fear, and her body began to tremble.

When the police officer saw this scene, he became even more puzzled. That’s weird. Isn’t she his

daughter? Why is she frightened at the sight of him? And she didn’t call him father or daddy either, but

Mr. Salzburg. This feels really odd!

Despite being curious, the police officer did not dare voice his doubts. After all, it was a family matter,

so after taking another look at the three of them in the trial room, he turned around and walked away.

Earlier, Mr. Salzburg had requested to meet with Anya alone. The police chief had agreed to Mr.

Salzburg’s request, so there was no reason for the police officer to stick around.

Soon enough, there were only three of them in the trial room: Anya, Connor, and Xander. Xander

wisely stood guard at the door and kept out of the conversation between Connor and Anya. As for

Connor, he slowly removed his walking cane that was under Anya’s jaw and placed it back down on the

ground.

Anya felt relieved that it had been removed where it had been beneath her jaw. She forced a smile and

spoke very carefully. “Mr. Salzburg, you… you haven’t told me why you’re here yet.”

This old man who stood in front of her now typically had a calm and jovial demeanor, but in reality, he

was a very twisted person. Anya recalled the methods that he used to torture people and began to

shiver instinctively. She tried to be as careful and respectful as possible to avoid making him angry.

“Why am I here?” Connor walked past the table and took a seat before shifting his chilling gaze to

Anya. “You should be asking yourself that question. Anya Steinfeld, didn’t I tell you that if you came to

Seafield first, then you should stay out of trouble? I warned you to stay out of sight as it’s not time for

you to make an appearance yet, but what did you do instead? On the first day that you arrived in

Seafield, you went and created a scene by getting into an accident with Toby Fuller, and you ended up



pissing off Sonia Reed. You exposed yourself to them, and I had to change all of my plans because of

you. Tell me, are you a glutton for punishment? If you are, then I don’t mind doing you a favor!”

When Anya heard his words, she felt a chill rib down her spine, and she immediately shook her head in

terror. “No, no, no! Mr. Salzburg, I know I messed up, I really do. I shouldn’t have been so reckless. I…

I just couldn’t stop myself. I couldn’t just swallow down my anger, so I—”

“So you decided to act so foolishly?” Connor interrupted her in annoyance.

Anya lowered her head and fell silent.

Connor snorted in fury. “Alright then. You’re incredible, you know that, Anya? I don’t mind if you tried to

do something to them, but at the very least, you should have done a good job. If you had managed to

strike either Toby or Sonia down with one fell swoop, then I would have sung your praises, but what did

you do instead? Not only did you go behind my back and act according to your own whims, you even

resorted to such useless tactics. All child’s play, and you didn’t even manage to do it properly! And now

you’ve exposed me as well. You’re hopeless.”

He pointed at her, and his finger was trembling from his rage.

Anya felt contempt for the way he described her, and a look of hatred flashed in her eyes, but she did

not dare to make her true feelings known. She quickly hid away all signs of her contempt before looking

up and nodding guiltily. “You’re right, Mr. Salzburg, I’m hopeless. I’ve realized my mistake, Mr.

Salzburg, so please save me from here. I won’t act alone again. I’ll do everything you ask me, really. I’ll

listen to you and do whatever you want me to do as long as you save me from this place. I don’t want

to be locked up in here anymore. I can’t do anything when I’m in here, and there’s always someone

keeping an eye on me. It makes me feel like I’m back in that mental asylum, and it’s too hard…”

Anya broke down in tears by the end of her pleading. It was obvious that she was frightened and in a

lot of pain.



Connor knew about her past, so naturally, he was aware of how it was like for her in that mental

asylum. Therefore, he knew that she was telling the truth about how she was suffering, and it was not a

lie.

Even so, he merely threw her a chilly gaze and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll save you.”

Immediately, her crying stopped. She raised her head and stared excitedly at Connor with tear-stricken

eyes. “Really? You’re not lying to me right, Mr. Salzburg? You’re really going to save me?”

Connor toyed with his ring again and replied indifferently, “I never lie to anyone. Back then, I

approached you first and promised to help you, so naturally, I’m going to see it to the end. I won’t give

up on you halfway. Isn’t that obvious from the fact that I spent such a huge sum of money to hire an

attorney for you, and I’ve even come to Seafield personally? In any case, you may be foolish, but

you’re not totally useless yet. I’ll still get some use out of you.”

Anya kept nodding along. “Yes, of course. I know that you’re the best, Mr. Salzburg, so please, hurry up

and get me out of here. I really can’t stand staying here any longer.”

She was beginning to sound a little hysterical.

However, Connor was unmoved. “What’s the rush? We’re in Seafield, not Westsanshire. This is Toby’s

playground, and you pissed him off. Even if I wanted to save you, it would not be easy for me to do so

in his city. It’s impossible to get you out right now, so you’ll just have to wait for a while.”

“What?” Anya could not believe her ears. Her eyes opened so wide that they nearly popped out of her

head. “I have to stay here for a while? No, Mr. Salzburg! I can’t stay here any longer. If I continue

staying here, then I’ll go mad. I’ll really go mad!”

She could not accept that this was happening, and she began to jerk around violently that it almost felt

like her wheelchair would fall apart.



When Connor saw the way she trashed about, he felt utterly repulsed. “You’re on the verge of madness

anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you become a little more psychotic. In any case, I want you to stay here

a little longer too. You went against my orders and acted according to your own whims, and you

couldn’t even get anything done. Did you really think I wouldn’t settle this score with you?”

Connor sneered.
