This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 1121 Making a Fuss

Now that his scheme was exposed, Harry felt embarrassed as he sat there frozen. Rose, who saw that he was in a

daze, smiled while patting the back of Mary’s hand. “Mr. Lore, Mary’s right. You should speak what’s on your mind

instead of running in circles. I’m old now, so I don’t have the spirit to play this game with you. Wouldn’t that just be

wasting our time?”

Squeezing out a smile, Harry replied, “You’re right, Old Mrs. Fuller. If so, I’ll speak my mind then.” “You should

have,” Rose calmly stated.

Inhaling a deep breath in, Harry found himself in a difficult situation. He had gotten used to speaking in an indirect

way, so diving straight into the topic was not his forte. To him, it felt like he would easily lose the dominant side of

the situation.

For so many years, he had always spoken like this, even to Toby, who did not seem to mind his way of speaking.

Only this old lady has so many problems with it.

Closing his eyes, Harry disguised his opinions against her and slowly opened his mouth. “There’s this thing that

happened. It’s not major nor is it minor. It’s an incident that concerns Toby’s ex-wife.”

“I would like to correct something, Mr. Lore. She’s not Toby’s ex-wife. Miss Reed has always been his wife. They

have just been separated for now and will remarry each other again. Since it’s been—and always will be—Miss

Reed, then there is no such thing as an ‘ex-wife’, is there?” Mary asked while smiling at Harry.

Yet, this smile was only surface deep.

Since Harry was able to decipher her true intentions, he knew that she was warning him to not speak out of line.

Panicking, he felt helpless as he maintained his smile and replied, “You’re right, Mary. I worded that wrongly. You

won’t hear it again.”

Regardless, he was not about to admit that he said that on purpose.

Naturally, Mary and Rose could hear how stubborn he was behaving. This was no surprise because they knew how

he was like.

“Since you know your mistake, Mr. Lore, please continue.” Mary decided to not expose him while gesturing for him

to continue.

Taking another deep breath, Harry tried his best to compose himself before continuing, “The scandal that

concerned Miss Reed went like this. Apparently, she and her friend were discussing business at a hotel when a

paparazzi took a photo of them. When it was uploaded online, the article stated that she betrayed Toby and had an

affair with that friend of hers.

It became a major topic online and everybody believed that was what she did. So, for a period of time, a lot of

malicious comments were directed at Miss Reed until she managed to find evidence to prove herself innocent.

Then, she exposed the real perpetrator, who happened to not be the media company. Rather, it was my

granddaughter that ordered the company to do it.”

“Oh, really?” Mary acted like she was hearing it for the first time.

She was a capable actress as she had a lot of experience when dealing with her enemies. As soon as she decided

to put on an act, not a lot of people could differentiate whether she was sincere or not. At the very least, Harry and

Grayson could not tell, so they really thought that Rose was oblivious to this incident.

Wait, she didn’t know? Phew! If so, I can control this situation even better. With this in mind, Harry started to look

around as the ploys he was devising almost manifested themselves from his gaze.

This made Rose and Mary look at each other and they noticed a visible disgust in their eyes. This old b*stard. He’s

actually calculating how to trick us right in front of our eyes. How foolish.

Unknowing that his inner thoughts had been exposed by them, Harry was still secretly jumping for joy. Coughing

lightly, he then stated, “That’s the rough story. I feel very sorry that this happened. I really didn’t think that my

granddaughter would do such a thing.”

With a guilty expression, he looked as fake as he could get. This was a person that did not know how to act, for he

showed how immature his skills were. Without even batting an eye at him, Rose grew impatient. “Why did she do

that?”

Harry thought that Rose spoke in an upset manner due to what his granddaughter did. Not knowing that it was

because of himself, he showed a guilty facade. “I also knew about this not long ago, hence my visit.”

“So, why did she do that?” Rose slowly took a sip of her tea. “If my memory serves me right, your granddaughter

isn’t acquainted with Sonny, no? Why did she frame her like that? What did she have to gain from it?”

She acted as if she was unaware how Lynette felt about her grandson.

Sighing, Harry replied, “Lynette indeed doesn’t know Miss Reed, but Toby was my student, so he and Lynette are

considered childhood friends. As they are close enough to be considered siblings or niece and uncle, they always

shared a close relationship. Even though she had been abroad all this time, she had been keeping close tabs on

what was going on here.

After she knew that Toby had reconciled with Miss Reed, she became especially attentive. Since Toby was someone

she cared about, she might have been too rash or misunderstood the situation. Either way, she thought that Miss

Reed had let Toby down, so she had the media upload the article.”

“Does that mean that your granddaughter’s innocent? So, what you’re trying to say is that she did not plot against

Sonny and she only wanted to help Toby, right?” Rose commented and closed her eyes.

With a bright gaze, Harry nodded profusely. “Yes, yes. It’s as you said. Miss Reed is somewhat considered to be a

sister-in-law to Lynette. If so, why would she frame her, seeing that they don’t have bad blood or know each other?

The real reason is that she only wanted to stand up for Toby.

She’s not a malicious person. She never thought that she would attract so much trouble for Miss Reed by uploading

the article. After she calmed down, Lynette actually regretted her actions a lot. Yet, it was already too late when she

wanted to apologize to Miss Reed, as she had already publicly stated she won’t forgive her on the internet.”

“If it were me, I wouldn’t forgive her either.” Rose scraped her cup gently against the coaster before commenting.

This made Harry freeze up. “Old Mrs. Fuller, you—”

“Are you finding it hard to understand why I’d say that? Why I would stand on Sonny’s side?” Rose looked at him.

Harry did not reply, for she had grasped his inner thoughts precisely.

Sneering, Rose continued, “Why should I forgive her? Regardless if the other party intended it or not, the damage is

done. This is the fact. As a victim, why should I forgive the perpetrator? Just because she stood up for someone? If

she wanted to stand up for Toby, why didn’t she take this to Toby instead of uploading it?

Her actions not only made Sonny become the target of everyone, it implicated Toby too, making him the butt of

everyone’s joke. Her actions had hurt people, so why should Sonny forget and forgive her just because she

apologized? Even an old woman like myself isn’t that magnanimous or forgivable. Sonny is very similar to me in this

regard. So, I support her decision by choosing not to forgive Lynette.”

After hearing Rose’s words, Harry found the reality hard to swallow. “Even so, Lynette did it for Toby. Although she

might have gone about it with the wrong method, she meant good.

Now, not only does Miss Reed not forgive nor accept an apology from her, Toby even blacklisted my family because

of this. He didn’t even accept my call or a face-to-face talk, and I’m his teacher! I heard that he is going to cut all

ties with my family. Isn’t this a bit overboard?”
