Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1167

Jean's meaty face had pride written all over it as she boasted, "It has been so many years, after all. It is only expected that I learn things such as watching others' every mood and emotion."

"Not bad. Keep it up." Rose finally stopped showing disdain for a second there.

Jean, on the other hand, immediately let out a touched expression when she heard Rose's words of approval.

"Mother, this is the first time in so many years that you have complimented me!"

She was so overwhelmed she could shed tears right this instant.

As Rose looked at the woman, the tiny bit of satisfaction that arose disappeared in a puff of smoke, and she quickly resumed feeling disgusted by Jean. "How was I supposed to compliment you after you did all those stupid things in the past? Enough, now. Stop crying. You look horrible. You already looked bad to begin with, and now you are only making it worse."

Hearing that, Jean sniffled a few times and immediately stopped her sobs.

It was only then that Rose continued, "Do you know why Toby is so angry at the Lore Family this time? He kept quiet even though he has always known how much the Lore Family have gained and caused trouble in his name because Mr. Lore was his teacher. Take a guess why he has completely lost his temper and cut ties with the Lore Family because of a single rumor."

"Isn't he trying to even the score on Sonia's behalf?" Jean grumbled, her lips pursed.

Rose nodded at that. "That is only one of the reasons. The main reason Toby is so angry with the Lore Family is because they bullied his lover, and they wanted to ruin his relationship with Sonny. They have crossed his limits. After all, Sonny was the treasure that Toby had to pursue with great difficulty. Now that the Lore Family want to take his treasure away from him again, it is to be expected that he would get angry and decide to cut off his relationship with the Lore Family. And you, as Toby's stepmother, are supposed to be on Toby and Sonny's side. But you chose to speak on behalf of the Lore Family. What do you think Toby will do to you if he finds out about this?"

Rose's cold gaze then drifted over, only to see how pale Jean had suddenly gotten.

What will Toby do to me? Jean mused.

I don't know!

After all, she hadn't thought about it.

However, there was a small voice inside her that told her that whatever Toby was going to do, it wasn't going to be something good.

As she pondered over it, she was suddenly riddled with panic, and she quickly grabbed Rose's sleeve to beg for mercy. "Mother, I understand now. I didn't think things would get so bad. I was just… just… Mother, please, don't tell Toby about this. I beg of you. I am dead if you tell him…"

Jean started crying again as she spoke.

However, it was tears of fear that came out this time.

The only similarity was how ugly she looked still.

Seeing this, Rose couldn't help but shift her gaze away again. "Alright, stop crying. When did I say I will tell Toby?"

Jean's sadness swiftly turned into joy when she heard those words. "You won't tell Toby, will you, Mother? Haha! Thank you, Mother! You are the best. I… I am so happy."

Rose felt utterly exhausted looking at Jean's ugly mug crying and laughing at the same time. "I choose to not tell Toby because you are nice to him, but know that I won't forgive you if you try anything with him in the future even if you are the woman Homer loved."

"Thank you, Mother." When Jean heard Homer's name, the expression on her face finally returned to normal, and she gave her thanks more sincerely.

Rose waved her hand. "No more next time. Don't promise people you would do things for them just because they reward you with a little something. You are lucky you were thoughtful enough this time to not go to Toby directly, and came to me instead. You would be doomed otherwise. Also, don't interfere, especially when it comes to Toby and Sonny's business. There are things you can't stick your nose into. Your interference might make things worse, and make the children hate you. Do you understand me?"

Jean nodded like a chick pecking at grains of rice when she heard that. "Understood. I really, really won't bother myself with anything from now on no matter what. I will close myself off and live my life. I won't ask anyone about anything too much."

"Now that is better. Alright, then. You can go if there is nothing else. This old lady needs to rest," Rose chased her off while she tiredly massaged her temples.

"Okay, Mother." Jean stood up. "I will be leaving now. I will go back and teach Amelia Lestrange a lesson for almost getting me in trouble."

After saying that, she stormed out of the gazebo, looking like she was going to fight someone.

Seeing this, Rose could only resignedly shake her head and let Jean do as she willed. The elderly woman had no intention of stopping Jean.

It was obvious that Rose was supportive of Jean's wanting to rush over to the Lore Family' to pick a bone with them.

The Lore Family were truly disgusting people. She should probably let someone as wicked as Jean go teach them a lesson so that they knew that the Fuller Family was their master who was merely protecting the Lore Family. The Fullers did not, by any means, become the Lore Family' slaves just because they had their backs long enough.
