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

Chapter 1118

The door was opened and Mary was shocked to find not a servant outside but one of the security guards from the

front gate.

Taken aback as soon as she saw the man, she then asked solemnly, "What's wrong?"

Normally, the security guards would not enter the main house unless something had happened, so it was pretty

much impossible for them to be directly knocking on Rose's bedroom door, especially so late at night. As such,

something major must have happened for the security guard to be here right now.

"Mary, there are visitors at the door. It's President Fuller's mentor and he's here to visit Old Mrs. Fuller. These are

their details." The security guard handed over Harry's name card to Mary.

Mary reached out to take a look at it. As soon as she saw the name written on it, she scoffed, "They must be after

something to come and visit Old Mrs. Fuller so late at night!"

"Should we let them in? Or should we just tell them to leave? If you don't want them to come in, then I'll tell them

off right now," asked the security guard as he looked at Mary.

Mary folded the name card in her hand. "Hold on. I'll consult Old Mrs. Fuller about this."

"Okay." The security guard nodded respectfully.

As such, Mary shut the door and turned around back into the room.

Rose, who was originally lying down, was now sitting up in bed and had a book in her hands, seemingly engrossed in

the book.

At that sight, Mary immediately became unhappy. "Old Mrs. Fuller, why did you get up in bed and started to read?

You were tucked into bed earlier!"

Rose listened to Mary's reproachful words; not only was she not upset by that, but she smiled cheerfully. "It's okay,

Mary. Don't be upset. I had trouble falling asleep, so that's why I sat up and did some reading. I'll go to bed in a

short while when I feel sleepy."

"But you're not supposed to stay up too late. It's not good for your health." Mary walked over and attempted to

remove the book from Rose's hands and get Rose to lie down.

However, Rose had already noticed what she was attempting to do. As soon as Mary reached out to grab the book,

Rose shifted the book to the side and refused to let her get hold of it.

At that point, Mary revealed an exasperated smile. "Old Mrs. Fuller, you..."

"Mary, that's enough." Rose maintained a smile on her face. "I realize that you're worried about me, but my health

is as you can see. So, how much worse can it get? Don't worry. I'm well aware of my condition."

Rose stubbornly insisted on getting some reading done before bed, so Mary had no other option for a moment

there.

At that moment, Rose suddenly noticed the card in Mary's hand and she put her book aside to ask, "What's that?"

"Oh, this is a name card from the Lore Family." Mary suddenly recalled that as she handed over the card to Rose.

Rose reached out to take it. "The Lore Family? Do you mean Toby's mentor's family?"

"That's them." Mary nodded. "They are at the front gates right now and they're here to see you."

"Here to see me?" Rose paused while holding onto the name card.

Meanwhile, Mary smoothed over the blanket that was over Rose. "Yes. I reckon that they must be here because of

the incident on the internet this morning. Old Mrs. Fuller, you've heard of how Miss Lore framed Miss Reed. She's

trying to cause Young Master Toby to misunderstand Miss Reed and break up with Miss Reed so that she could take

over Miss Reed's position."

By then, Rose was no longer interested to look at the name card as she folded it in half before casting it aside on

her bedside table like it was a piece of rubbish. Rose sneered coldly, "I'm quite aware of what sort of personalities

the Lore Family have and frankly speaking—though this may sound rude—they are just a bunch of rogues. I've

known from the start that their daughter's interested in Toby. He was the only person oblivious to that."

Mary chuckled in response. "Young Master Toby tends to be quite clueless in relationship matters and I guess that's

a good thing too because he wouldn't have to be burdened unnecessarily."

Rose smiled as she turned to look at her. "Toby's not clueless at all. If he was completely clueless in such

relationship matters, then he wouldn't have fallen in love with Sonny while they were exchanging letters without

even meeting her. He just can't be bothered by people he's not interested in, so that's why he didn't realize that

Miss Lore was interested in him."

"Whatever it is, it's a good thing that Young Master Toby isn't aware of Miss Lore's intentions." Mary poured a glass

of milk for Rose.

A warm cup of milk could be good to aid sleep. Since Rose was unable to fall asleep, then perhaps drinking some

milk could put her to sleep soon enough.

Yet, Rose was aware of Mary's intention. With a smile, she did not object to Mary's offer and took the glass of milk.

"This time, Miss Lore spread rumors about Sonny on the internet because she must have been unable to contain

herself any longer. She didn't want to see Toby and Sonny maintain their relationship 'cause she must be concerned

that she wouldn't be able to replace Sonny's position after that."

"Hmph! I really don't get what's going on in the minds of young women nowadays. They refuse to behave decently

and use devious means to get their way. To think that she comes from a distinguished family, she's actually intent

on being a homewrecker!" Mary was disdainful as she spilled her words.

As for Rose, she took a sip of milk and the previously amiable look in her eyes was replaced with coldness. It was

exactly the same cold look that Toby wore when he dealt with strangers. Clearly, he had learned many of his ways

directly from Rose.

"A distinguished family?" Rose sneered coldly. "How can she be considered to be from a distinguished family? If it

wasn't because of her grandfather's luck back then in becoming Toby's mentor, their family would have become

history. They wouldn't have been able to continue flaunting amongst the wealthy by taking advantage of Young

Master Toby's name."

"Old Mrs. Fuller, since you're aware that the Lore Family have been behaving badly and flaunting by making use of

Young Master Toby's name, why didn't you convince Young Master Toby to warn them?" Mary glanced at Rose with a

perplexed expression.

Rose brushed her off. "What's the point in me telling him? Even if Toby trusts my words, there is no evidence at all,

so he wouldn't be able to sever ties with them. After all, the Lore Family played a role in guiding him in his studies,

so I can't comment too much seeing that we're indebted to them. Otherwise, we might be criticized for being

ungrateful. That's why I chose to keep silent and watch them continue their clown show. No matter how hard they

try to mask themselves, they would end up exposing themselves and Toby would have to see through their true

colors sooner or later. By then, the Lore Family' kindness granted to Toby in the past would have been worn off by

their misdeeds, so he wouldn't be caught in a tight position if he went after them."

"Okay, I get it." Mary nodded and agreed that this was a great idea. "I heard that Lynette's action of framing Miss

Reed this time has angered Young Master Toby and he seems to have made up his mind to sever ties with the Lore

Family. Furthermore, it seems like he will be taking action against the Lore Family. I'm not too sure how true that is,

Old Mrs. Fuller. Why don't you ask Young Master Toby?"

Rose shook her head. "That's not necessary. The rumors you heard must be true. Sonny's precious to Toby and he

would never allow anyone to harm her. The Lore Family's actions must have triggered Toby's rage. I know him very

well and clearly, he won't let them get away with things lightly. That's why even though I got to know this matter

today, I don't plan on calling Toby or Sonny to ask about it. I'm not going to interfere and I'll let him deal with this

himself."

"Yes, I agree that you shouldn't get involved. You should be enjoying a relaxing life." Mary smiled.

Rose smiled as well. "You're right about that."

"However, Mr. Lore's here to see you. Perhaps because he knew that Young Master Toby is planning to cut ties with

the Lore Family and he can't get hold of Young Master Toby. That's why he came over to see you and try to target

you to resolve the matter. Otherwise, he would never pay you a visit. I don't think that he's here to visit because he

respects you." Mary shot a look at the card by the side with a scornful smile.

Rose placed the glass of milk aside. "Yeah. If I'm not mistaken, Harry's been back for quite some time now, huh?"

"He's been back for more than two weeks now," Mary replied.

Meanwhile, Rose placed a wizened hand on her abdomen and patted it gently. "Yes. He's been back for more than

two weeks and yet he didn't bother to come over and visit me throughout that period. Clearly, he couldn't care less

about me. Now that he's encountered trouble, he's finally thought of seeing me. Obviously, he's trying to take

advantage of me and I'm just a tool to him. Do you reckon that I should show him my temper?"
