Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1198

Chapter 1098

Mitch burst into a scornful guffaw as though he had just heard a cosmic joke. "You want to drive me out of Seafield?"

Lynette was irritated when she heard him laughing like this. At the same time, however, her heart did a complete somersault. A bad feeling arose within her; she couldn't help feeling that something was amiss. "W-What are you laughing at?" Her lovely baby face contorted for a while as she slapped her blanket with her free hand in exasperation. She warned loudly, "Stop laughing, Mitch! Did you hear me? I'm telling you to stop laughing!"

Mitch was still laughing without restraint on the other end of the line while ignoring her. After laughing for a while, he finally managed to stop with his eyes full of derision. "Lynette, had you said something like this before today, I'd probably still believe that you could indeed drive me out of Seafield. After all, your grandfather was President Fuller's mentor. If you wanted to sort me out, your grandfather, who always covered up for you, would definitely side with you, and even if President Fuller learned about this, he wouldn't care about a small fry like me. However, from today onward, people will laugh their heads off if you say something like that."

Lynette instantly tightened her grip on the phone as the unease within her grew. "What do you mean?"

Mitch's lips curled into a sinister and wicked smile. "What do I mean? I mean your family is finished! Haha!" he said before bursting out laughing again in schadenfreude. He was so pleased deep down that his face was flushed crimson with excitement. His eyes bulged as if they'd fall out of their sockets the next second, making him look very scary.

When Lynette heard his words on the other end of the line, she felt as though a clap of thunder had just exploded over her head. Stunned, she felt like her head was going to explode. Did he just say my family is finished? How is that possible? My family is fine, and Grandpa is still alive. Even if the members of my family aren't capable of anything, Toby will always have my family under his wing as long as Grandpa is still alive and their master-apprentice relationship still stands. My family will always be ranked among the ten most distinguished families of Seafield, so how could my family be finished?

Pulling herself together, she seethed with rage, thinking that it was sickening of Mitch to say such things on purpose to fool her. Clutching the phone tightly with both hands, she uttered between clenched teeth, "Mitch, how dare you curse my family? Just you wait; my family and I will never let you off for this!"

"I don't have to wait for that." Mitch sneered. "I'm not lying to you, Lynette. It's true that your family's gonna be finished. You still don't know about it, do you? Well, that's understandable. It's night over there, so you must have no idea what's going on in the country."

Lynette bit her lower lip while almost being overwhelmed by the unease within her. "What the hell are you trying to say?"

Mitch's chubby face cracked into a smile full of malice. "I just want to tell you that your cover is blown. It's come to light that you bribed me with 5 million to have Sonia followed by paparazzi and to spread gossip to cause her breakup with Toby. Sonia and Toby both know that you were behind it! Haha!"

Lynette blanched instantly as the phone dropped out of her hand and fell onto the blanket. Even if she didn't put the phone on speaker, Mitch's hearty laughter still sounded very clearly through the phone and reached her ears at this very moment, making her head buzz. What did this fatso just say? My cover's blown? My plan to cause Toby to break up with that Sonia lady has come to light? How is that possible?! That can't be possible!

Her eyes flickered before she quickly came to her senses. Grabbing the phone on the blanket, she held it back to her ear and barked loudly, "Stop lying to me, Mitch! Do you think I'll believe what you said? I wasn't born yesterday!"

"I'm lying to you?" Mitch rolled his eyes. "Lynette, why would I lie to you? Has it ever crossed your mind why my attitude toward you would change so much? I was still respectful to you before today, but now I only wish you to die. Didn't you ever think about the reason behind this? This is because President Fuller and Miss Reed have found out what we did behind the scenes! President Fuller caught me first since I'm in the country. Lynette, I believe you don't need me to remind you to know what would happen to me after I fell into President Fuller's hands. So, how could I not hate you for putting me up to this and bringing me to such an end, Miss Lore?!" he said, almost growling toward the end of his speech.

Upon being growled at, Lynette shuddered involuntarily, and her face turned even paler. At this moment, she finally noticed what she hadn't realized just now thanks to Mitch's words. That's right; this fatso has been so respectful to me before. He obsequiously called me Miss Lore because I'm the daughter of the Lore Family and my grandfather was Toby's mentor. It's because of this that I have the top standing among the rich young ladies. Who else would this fatso butter up if not me?

And now, not only is this fatso calling me by my first name, but he even curses my family, saying that he only wishes for me to die. He wouldn't have dared to do this in the past, but he dares to do this now. In other words, what he says is true: Toby has really learned that it was my doing.

For a moment, she began to panic. What should I do? Toby has learned about it! Will he be angry with me? Will he hate me or even want to sort me out? No, no way! Grandpa was Toby's mentor, so Toby won't do anything to me for Grandpa's sake. Yes, this must be the case. Toby and I have known each other for so many years. I don't believe that I don't matter to him more than a woman who got married to him by dirty means and then used dirty means to force him into getting back together with her after she was chased out of the Fuller Family.

At the thought of this, Lynette regained her composure, ignoring Mitch's previous remark about the Lore Family's impending doom. She curled her lips and replied scornfully, "So what if our cover is blown? There's no need to panic. My grandpa was Toby's mentor. Even if Toby is angry with me, he won't really do anything to me. As for you, I said that I'd keep you safe. You—"

"That's b*llshit!" Mitch roared loudly, interrupting her before she could finish her sentence. His chubby face looked sullen and ferocious as he continued, "Lynette, I've seen people who are stupid, but I've never seen a woman as stupid as you are. I've said clearly that your family is finished because President Fuller has learned that you were the one behind it. Turns out that after a long time, you still haven't realized why your family is finished. Well, in that case, let me tell you the reason for mercy's sake. You're the one who brought the Lore Family to its end. You angered President Fuller by plotting against his girlfriend in a vain attempt to make him break up with her, so he's going to lay a hand on your family, you idiot!"

Lynette's pupils instantly shrank to the size of needle tips; she felt like her head was going to explode again. "That's not possible!" she growled in a shrill voice. "Even if Toby gets angry after knowing that I did such a thing behind his back, he'll never do anything to my family! My grandpa was his mentor!"

"So what if your grandpa was his mentor?" Mitch gave a snort of disdain. "Does his mentor matter to him more than his girlfriend does? President Fuller has said himself that his girlfriend is the one who'd keep him company for life. In other words, your grandpa is much less important to him than Miss Reed!"
