Chapter 1122
"Overboard?" As if she had heard something ridiculous, Rose slammed the table and sneered, "Mr. Lore, in your
eyes, Toby and Sonny dealt with this a bit too seriously, didn't they?"
"Is that not the case?" Harry was visibly upset now. "Yes, Lynette is in the wrong, but she didn't mean it. Does Toby
need to cut ties with my family just because of this? Isn't it enough when we've apologized?"
"So, this is your stance on this situation." Rose smirked. "In my opinion, I think they did the right thing. I don't care if
your granddaughter intended this or not, I only know that she did it without verifying the truth and concluded it one-
sidedly. She was so sure that Sonny had betrayed Toby and uploaded the pictures. Her aim? To let Sonny suffer
under the public's criticism. Yet, have you ever thought about what would happen if Sonny was not tough enough to
face the backlash?"
"I'm aware, Madam." Mary peered at Harry coldly. "Miss Reed might suffer from mental breakdown and commit
suicide. Since this happens often, the number of people who die because of cyberbullying is actually quite high."
"That's right." Rose nodded. "That means that your granddaughter nearly killed Sonny. Toby loves her a lot. Since he
nearly lost Sonny, what makes you think he won't cut ties with you after the incident? Who told you to mess with the
person he loves the most? This is why I'm in favor of their response."
Harry was rendered speechless by their words.
After a while, he finally replied, "But this isn't as serious as you make it out to be. Isn't Miss Reed fine?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sonny is fine, but that doesn't mean that she should forgive your misdeeds." Rose snorted.
Clenching his fist, Harry continued, "It is our fault. We are willing to apologize to Miss Reed. We are even willing to
compensate her, but she… Sigh. She doesn't want to let this go and keeps wanting to argue this. She even brought
Toby into this. He wasn't like this in the past."
"What's with the sudden comparison?" Rose's expression darkened. "Are you implying that Toby was negatively
influenced by Sonny?"
Harry quickly waved his hands. "Oh no, I didn't mean that. What I meant was that the reason Toby wouldn't forgive
us was because of Miss Reed too. Perhaps, she doesn't want him to forgive us. I know that you like Miss Reed very
much, Old Mrs. Fuller, so I implore you to not get angry at what I'm about to say. Think about it. Toby is my student.
Our families are very close with the public knowing that Toby respects me alot. If the masses knew that he cut all
ties with my family just because of a few words from Miss Reed, how would they view him? Wouldn't they think that
Toby turned on his teacher just for a mere woman? This would harm his reputation."
"Oh?" Rose lowered her gaze and smiled mysteriously. "What is your suggestion, then?"
Harry took a sip from the tea before continuing, "Old Mrs. Fuller, I don't ask for much. I just request you to speak
with Toby and persuade him as well as Miss Reed. Give Lynette and my family a chance to apologize. Bad blood
shouldn't have to be stirred up just because of this. This wouldn't benefit either of our families. This is also my aim
in coming here as I'm out of options as well. Toby wouldn't accept our calls, much less see us. I only came here
because I don't know what else I can do. So, Old Mrs. Fuller—"
"So all in all, you came to me because you wanted me to act as a mediator, helping your family build a rapport with
Toby and Sonny, right? Oh—what I meant was that you wanted me to order Toby and Sonny to forgive and reconcile
with your family, am I right?" Rose interrupted and smiled at him curtly.
Hearing that Rose had voiced out his genuine thoughts, Harry decided to get to the point and rubbed his palms
together before saying, "Yes, this is what I meant. It's not a major incident, since Lynette only did a bad thing out of
good intentions. Lynette and the Lore Family are more than willing to apologize to Miss Reed and reimburse her as
well. I think that Miss Reed shouldn't have been so stubborn as to hold a grudge against us. After all, Lynette did it to
protect Toby; she didn't want him to be kept in the dark. As Toby's woman, she should understand and even accept
the compensation and apology my family is willing to give out. Otherwise, Miss Reed would just be making it hard
for Toby, who's stuck between all of this. It is quite unbecoming for her to be acting like this as his partner.
Besides…"
Harry settled his tea down. "To summarize this, it's just squabbles between the youngsters. An apology and
compensation are supposed to be enough, but Miss Reed made it worse than it should. In the end, it caused our
families' relationship to sour. This shows how narrow-minded she is. She isn't a tolerating person! If she does
reconcile with Toby in the future, I don't think she can contribute much to him. I think that she might even distant
Toby from the families he shares a close relationship with. So, Old Mrs Fuller, I suggest you use this chance to
lecture Miss Reed properly. Tell her to be more forgiving and not attract so much trouble for Toby. What do you
think?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis words were directly hinting at Sonia being a homewrecker. Undoubtedly, this caused Rose and Mary's
expression to darken.
Afraid that Rose might worsen her health due to anger, Mary patted her on the shoulder, hinting that she should
calm down. Then, Marry stepped forward and smiled coldly at Harry.
"Mr. Lore, only snakes speak like you did. Don't think that we can't tell you're purposefully making Miss Reed look
bad in front of Old Mrs. Fuller. You just want to make her feel disdain toward Miss Reed and let her separate Young
Master Toby and Miss Reed. You sure did plan ahead quite thoroughly. Too bad, Madam knows best what kind of
person Miss Reed is like. So, don't treat us as fools and assume we don't see through you. We've seen countless
people like you."
"I'm not—"
"Enough." Rose showed her palm to him, breaking off what Harry was about to say, for she had lost all patience at
this point. "Mr. Lore, I'm not sure if you are stupid or foolish. You came with the intention of wanting me to be the
mediator, to persuade Toby and Sonny to accept the apology of your family and save the relationship you share
with him. Then, you should've praised Sonny in front of me instead of belittling her. After all, you already know that I
like her a lot. If you had made me happy by praising her, I might even persuade them on your behalf. Yet, I didn't
think you'd be this dumb to cut your only option off like this."
"That's right." Mary, who saw that Rose wanted to get up, quickly bent over and helped her up. "Mr. Lore, do you
think we're clueless to what you're trying to do? You're just trying to belittle her to the point where Madam would
separate her away from Young Master Toby! We know it all. We know that you're using this awful tactic to help your
granddaughter get married to him!"
