Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1398

Chapter 1298

In actuality, even Grace thought if Toby wanted to disown his mentor due to Lynette's actions from the incident and take back all the care that he had shown the Lores, then it would be cruel and heartless on his part.

Let's say that Lynette is really in the wrong and the Lores aren't exactly saints, this doesn't warrant how cold Toby is treating them. If Toby was such a cold person, I wouldn't be able to rest easy, knowing that Sonny is with him.

Yet, after meeting him once, Grace understood that he was not such an individual, as she knew he was not one to project a person's wrongdoing onto their entire family.

So, this can only mean that there is another reason why Toby is handling the incident regarding the Lores like this. It's just that people have yet to learn why.

At Grace's question, Sonia recounted the whole incident with Lynette and her henchmen truthfully.

Grace, who came to know the whole proceeding, slapped her leg in anger. "This is why I said that the Lores must've done something else. Otherwise, why would Toby do this? This daughter of the Lore Family is just a poison to society along with her entire family, scheming like sly foxes without any moral compass. Not only did the seniors in the family not properly lecture the next generation and apologize for their shenanigans after they were in the wrong, but they also conspired behind other people's backs. Especially that old fool, Harry. What a shameless thing to do at his age. And he actually calls himself a teacher."

The mention of Harry made Grace show a face full of contempt and scorn toward him.

Sonia pushed the empty bowl of chowder aside before stating, "I don't really understand this person as well. Mrs. Lane, I don't think you know about this, but he also talked bad in front of Toby about me in the past, advising that he should break up with me."

"What? Are you serious?" Shocked, Grace was furious. "This shameless fossil. How could he even intervene in his student's love affairs? I guessed that he only said that for his granddaughter. If you guys broke up, then that granddaughter of his would have a chance. Belittling others behind their backs? Laughable. How could such a person exist? Toby is also to blame for this, choosing such a crook for a mentor."

"Now that you mention this, it seems like this might have been a ploy too." Sonia peered through her eyes.

Curious, Grace asked, "What do you mean by this, Sonny?"

"We'll have to start from more than ten years ago when Toby was still in university. At that time, to delve deeper into the research of economics, he had to have a Ph.D., so he needed to find a mentor. Back then, the best econometrist was Harry Lore, and another person, Professor Randall, whom Toby actually chose. Both Toby and the professor had even settled on the day of the first meeting when the day before, Professor Randall passed away abruptly, so Toby could only settle for the other candidate, which was Harry. Otherwise, Toby's mentor would've been Professor Randall instead of Harry."

"So, I see. It was because he didn't have another choice." Grace nodded. "This is why I found it strange that Toby chose a person like that old man to be his mentor. At first, I thought Toby had very low standards for choosing him. Yet, it was a pity that the professor he was supposed to be mentored under passed away just a day before."

Grace sighed.

Pursing her lips, Sonia stated, "Toby suspects that Professor Randall's death might have had something to do with Harry. After all, Harry would stand to benefit the most if Professor Randall died. Also, a lot of details surrounding his demise pointed to his death not being an accident, as it resembled more like a plot. This was why Toby thought that Professor Randall might have died at Harry's hand. Adding on Lynette's actions toward me and how the Lores managed their affairs led to Toby becoming overtly dissatisfied toward Harry, prompting him to cut ties with him. Otherwise, it would have been a bit extreme for Toby to cancel their relationship and take back what the Lores benefited under his care just because of Lynette."

"This makes sense too." Grace nodded. "So, Toby is investigating that professor's death?"

"That's right." Standing up, Sonia walked toward the couch. "Since he has his suspicions, he decided to look into it more. He wants to seek justice for Professor Randall. If Harry really did it, then Toby would not let him walk away scot-free. He also cut ties with Harry for the upcoming revenge since Toby would not have to act mercifully if they aren't related whatsoever."

"I understand now, but will Toby not explain this to the public? Now, the internet doesn't know why he cut ties with Harry, thinking that he only did that due to Lynette's actions, so they are all admonishing Toby's behavior, which will affect his reputation. Besides that, the Lores also all added fuel to the fire by putting on an innocent as-can-be facade online. This is all so infuriating." Grace was very upset.

Smiling, Sonia stated, "I'm not sure if Toby will make a statement or not. He didn't say anything to me. I don't think he will let himself be on the losing side, so he will do something about it. As for the Lores, just let them be the clowns that they are. They won't be able to do so for much longer anyway."

"If you say so. You should still ask Toby about this, though. Alright, I think we'll chat until here then. Curtis' assistant is here, saying that he forgot some documents in the study, so he wants me to find them and give them to the assistant," stated Grace before she went up the stairs.

Nodding, Sonia replied, "Okay then. You should settle that first. I need to go to work too. See you."

Picking her phone up, Sonia quickly checked the news online.

She skipped the Acree Family's news since it did not concern her, as she searched for any news between Toby and the Lores.

Although the incident was not attracting as much attention as the Acrees, she could still easily see some discussions about it.

At the sight of malicious comments regarding Toby, Sonia became upset. What do these people know?

She kept looking through the search results when she came across a video. Playing it, she found that it was Lynette's live stream.

In the video, Lynette sat on a bed in a very dim room, and the light that shone on her made her look very haggard.

Plus, Lynette kept crying in the video, as her eyes puffed up from all the crying. Owing to her adorable features, a lot of people pitied her.

Humans were predisposed to be weak against cutesy stuff, and Lynette fitted that description aptly, so how could the viewers not be moved when they saw her crying like this?

Including the viewers, even Sonia felt a tinge of pity for her.

Of course, that was but an instant since she knew what kind of person Lynette really was—someone who was innocent on the surface but dark-hearted on the inside.

In the video, Lynette was holding a box of tissue while drying her nonstop tears, stating how slandered she felt.

She was saying that she knew her faults now and how everything she did was for Toby. She claimed that she thought Sonia was a bad person who blackmailed Toby, so she wanted Toby to break up with Sonia, wording it like she did not have any other intentions while denying that she did not frame Sonia out of jealousy toward her.

Hmph, if I didn't know the truth, even I would've bought her words. How sincere she sounds.

Rolling her eyes, Sonia continued to watch the video.

After Lynette finished whining, she cried even more while closing in on the camera, asking the viewers why she fell into such a state.
