Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1121

Chapter 1121

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.
