Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1174

Chapter 1174

Toby's words sent a chill down Rose's spine. Still, she tried to wriggle her way out of this mess as she smiled sheepishly and shook her head. "No, you don't have to call a doctor. It's not a big deal. I just feel dizzy, and I'll be fine after a nap. I always feel dizzy, and I know how to make myself better. So you don't have to call the doctor over. It's quite troublesome."

D*mn, if you call the doctor over, you'll know that I'm faking it! No way! Rose muttered in her heart.

The smirk on Toby's face turned shaper. He walked forward and stopped behind Mary and Rose. "It is not troublesome at all. We pay for the live-in doctor to be at our beck and all. If he thinks that a few minutes of walking is a great deal of trouble, we should just fire him! Since we pay him, he is obliged to treat his patients at any time, in any place, and under any circumstances, or it is a dereliction of his duty, and I have the right to fire him. Grandma, do you want him to get fired?"

"Of course. I—"

"If I'm not mistaken, the doctor we hire to care for your condition is Mary's close relative." He knew just what Rose was going to say, so he interjected as soon as she opened her mouth and then looked at Mary.

In the face of Toby's fearsome glare, Mary lowered her head guiltily.

She knew precisely why Toby brought up the family doctor and her relationship with the doctor at this moment. Toby wanted to force both of them to come clean about the stew's ingredients by threatening them with the doctor's employment.

Yikes, no wonder Young Master Toby is known as the Demon of the Business World. He will strike at his opponent's weaknesses in order to achieve his goals. The Fuller Family and Fuller Group are lucky to have him as the head of the family and the company, but it is unfortunate for us to be under his reign right now. Mary lamented bitterly in her heart.

Rose, on the other hand, was enraged. She turned around, poked Toby's nose, and growled, "Hey, b*stard, how dare you say such a thing?! What the hell are you thinking? Are you trying to break Mary's heart?"

Toby shrugged innocently. "What are you talking about, Grandma? No, I'm not trying to break Mary's heart. I just think maybe it's time to give the doctor a new job."

"You're bluffing! You know better than anyone what you're implying." Rose snorted coldly, refusing to believe his nonsense.

Sonia also felt that Toby had gone too far, so she stood up and wanted to dissuade him, but before she could say anything, Toby changed his tone, "Alright, Grandma. I was just joking. I didn't actually want to fire the doctor, but I need to reconsider his employment and trustworthiness in the future. You do know that I hate being deceived the most. So, do you want to tell me what the stew is or not?"

Rose was about to refute him grumpily when Mary stopped her.

Finally, she sighed and looked at Toby, "Okay, I'll tell you, but promise me that you won't get angry."

Toby's expression softened slightly at her cooperation. "Alright, I promise I won't get angry, and I'm sorry for threatening you just now, but I hope you understand that it doesn't feel good to be kept in the dark."

Mary waved him off. "Yes, I understand, Young Master, and I'm not angry about that. I know that you won't do anything to the doctor and will not fire him even if I refuse to tell you the truth in the end. After all, I kept you in the dark, not them, and you wouldn't punish them for something they didn't do. I raised you, so I know you very well. Since I'm well aware of this, I know you're just trying to scare me."

Toby chuckled. "Wow, you saw through my tricks."

Both Rose and Sonia breathed a sigh of relief, especially Rose, who thought that Toby would actually go through with his threat so that he could get his hands on the ingredients behind the stew.

Mary was Rose's best friend for decades, so much so that Rose had regarded Mary as family.

Toby's threat to Mary would not only humiliate Rose but also break Mary's heart.
