Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1244

Chapter 1144

How can I not complain about this matter? I knew that Grayson was going to Paradigm Co. as well as the reason why. After all, the three of us—Grayson, Harry, and I—had a meeting. Before he set off to meet her, we discussed how to earn Sonia's forgiveness and let her talk good things about us in front of Toby. When Grayson left, he reassured us that he would complete the mission with flying colors. However, Sonia ended up throwing him out because of his ill-mannered and insincere apology! Did he forget everything that we talked about during the meeting? He is going to be the death of me.

The call was picked up just as the department chief was thinking about it.

"Hello." Harry's old but high-spirited voice came through the phone.

"President Lore, there's something that I need to tell you. It's about Mr. Lore," the chief said as he sat straight.

On the other side of the phone, Harry wore white sportswear as he stood in the villa's garden. There was a sword that was made for exercise beside him. This proved that Harry was exercising before the chief had called.

He took the towel that the housekeeper gave him and wiped the sweat off his face. Then, he walked toward the gazebo and asked, "What's the matter? Is he back from Paradigm Co. yet?"

The chief shook his head and said, "He's not back yet, but he will be soon."

"How did it go? Did Sonia—" Before Harry could finish his words, he was cut off by the chief's deep sigh. "I'm sorry, President Lore. Mr. Lore failed to complete the mission," he said.

At that moment, Harry stopped what he was doing abruptly. His face, which was red from exercise, darkened instantly.

"What? He failed?" he asked.

"Yes."

Listening to the chief's words, Harry squinted his eyes and wondered how he could've possibly failed.

"Is it because Sonia made things difficult for him? Did she request other things as she felt that it was not enough?" Harry gritted his teeth and guessed, his tone gloomy.

The chief didn't know what to say when Harry accused Sonia of doing all that. Never did he think that the problem lay with Grayson.

To be honest, I believed that Harry knew what type of person Grayson was, but he was brainlessly protecting Grayson. He always blamed others and never realized that perhaps Grayson might be the person at fault. No wonder Grayson has this kind of personality.

Although the chief was thinking about it, he didn't say it aloud. He lowered his eyes and replied, "Certainly not. The reason why it failed was because of Mr. Lore himself."

"What do you mean by that?" Harry frowned. "Are you saying that it's Grayson's fault?"

"Yes." The chief nodded. "During the meeting, we talked about letting Grayson apologize to Sonia on Lynette's behalf. Although Sonia didn't meet the instigator who caused this matter, she would be soft-hearted and let this matter off the hook if he had apologized sincerely to her and given her a token of apology. However…" the chief trailed off.

Listening to his words, Harry gripped his phone in annoyance and said, "Hurry up and say it."

"Yes," the chief replied without hesitation. "Grayson had agreed to it at first and we prepared the gift, but he changed his mind at the last minute. He went to Paradigm Co. with only his assistant and no gifts. Not only that, he was ill-mannered too. Not only did he not apologize, he even aroused the conflict between Miss Reed and himself. In the end, Miss Reed's security guards kicked him out."

Bang!

At that moment, Harry swept everything that was on the stone table off. He was fuming in anger while he breathed heavily. "That sc*mbag! How dare he go against my order and mess things up?!"

After he had gone to the Fuller Residence and seen Rose, he also realized that it was inappropriate to be at someone's doorstep while empty-handed. However, he was excusable as he had visited her on a short notice. Plus, he felt that he had a good relationship with the Fullers, so perhaps it wasn't that important to bring a gift.

Never did he expect that Rose did not feel that they were on good terms and valued the importance of a door gift. Although he was unhappy about it, it made him realize that the Fullers would only notice those they had kept connections with if they were to prepare door gifts when visiting, which was also the case for Sonia.

Since a gift should be prepared when visiting, it was more appropriate to prepare it when apologizing to someone. Hence, even though he was unwilling to spend his money on it, he would still endure it and prepare a generous gift as he would earn the money back as long as Toby was still willing to keep in contact with them. Thus, he shouldn't hold a grudge against this matter. However, he never expected Grayson to ruin all his plans, which frustrated him to no end.

"President Lore? Are you there, President Lore?" the chief asked him worriedly.

Hearing his words, Harry took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then, he pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "I'm alright. I will teach Grayson a lesson now that I know about this matter."

"Yes." The chief nodded and asked again, "About that matter with Sonia… I assume that she wants Miss Lynette to apologize in person. So…"

Harry frowned deeply as he cared for Lynette very much, but he suppressed his heartache when he thought about the relationship between the Lore Family and the Fullers.

"I'll handle Lynette's part. Once she gets over her jet lag, I will bring her to Sonia," Harry said as he waved his hand.

When the chief heard that Harry was finally willing to let Lynette apologize, he sighed in relief. "Okay. In that case, I will stop disturbing you now. The video of Grayson being kicked out has been posted online, and everyone is laughing at us. It seems that the stock market has been affected as well. I'll be going to look at it."

"Okay." Harry hummed in response.

After the call ended, Harry squinted his eyes and cursed before dialing a number.

On the other hand, Grayson was on his way back to Lore Communications. At this moment, he was sitting in the car and cursing Sonia with nasty words. His words were so unpleasant that the assistant, who was driving, felt ridiculous.

It is obviously Mr. Lore's fault and not Miss Reed's. Yet, he doesn't think that he's done anything wrong and is blaming it all on Miss Reed, blistering her. How absurd, he thought.

At this moment, Grayson's phone rang, cutting his words off. The car had finally quieted down as he stopped scolding, and the assistant felt like his ears had been saved while being grateful that Grayson's phone had rung.

Hearing his phone ring, Grayson loosened his tie and took his phone out. "Dad?" When he saw the caller ID, his angered expression turned to shock and nervousness.

For some unknown reason, he had a bad feeling in his gut when he saw the caller. Should I answer it? I'm afraid of picking it up, though. If I don't, he will surely punish me when I return. It looks like I have to answer the call no matter what, he thought.

Thinking about it, Grayson gripped his phone and hesitated for a moment. Then, he gritted his teeth and picked it up. Putting the phone by his ear, he then called out cautiously, "Dad?"
