Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1286

Harry was the mainstay of the Lore Family because neither Lynette nor Grayson could manage the company successfully. Harry was the reason why they could still live a luxurious life with nary a worry. However, once Harry fell, it was only a matter of time before the family collapsed.

At that time, Lynette would lose her status as the young lady of a wealthy family and be poor. How could she fight with Sonia if she didn't have anything? How could she win Toby's heart, then? In fact, there was a high possibility that she might lose the chance to even see Toby!

Therefore, she would not let anything happen to Harry no matter what.

"Grandpa!" Lynette shouted his name anxiously, and tears streamed down her cheeks. Harry leaned against her for support; he slightly rolled his eyes back as he kept huffing and puffing as if he felt suffocated and would die at any given minute. Naturally, the two bodyguards were dumbfounded by such a scene as they both staggered backward hastily and waved their hands, indicating that they had nothing to do with Harry being like this.

Tom regarded them with blatant contempt. Tom looked nonchalant and composed compared to the two bodyguards' frantic expressions. He merely stood there like a silent statue as he quietly looked at Harry without the slightest change in expression, nor did he have the intention to call the doctor over. It was simply because he had seen such a scene far too many times and had long been desensitized.

Frankly, he could tell at a glance whether Harry was really having trouble breathing or simply faking it. For example, at this moment, he knew that Harry was faking it, or at the very least, he was not in any serious medical condition. After all, Harry was extraordinarily skillful when it came to using his 'illness' as a tool.

There were several times in the past when Harry would go to Toby, hoping to get something from the latter. Once he realized that Toby would not budge, he would begin to put on an act of being sick, precisely like this. Regardless, once Toby agreed to his request, he would 'recover' immediately.

Tom bet that if Toby were here, he would also be equally calm and indifferent.

Just as Tom imagined Toby witnessing this scenario, Lynette suddenly shouted at him urgently, "Tom, what are you doing?! Can't you see that my grandfather is not feeling well?! Hurry up and send him to the hospital, or at least call a doctor! I'll make you pay if anything happens to him! Toby will not let you off the hook too!"

Tom pushed his glasses calmly and quipped, "Miss Lore, that's such a serious accusation you have there. I'm not even going to bother to ask you if you can make me pay. Even Mr. Fuller won't punish me for my actions. Can you please tell me what your relationship with Mr. Fuller is? Now, everyone knows that Mr. Fuller wants to cut all ties with your family, so they are watching on the sidelines, waiting for Mr. Fuller's official statement. Anyway, to tell you the truth, our company's PR department has prepared the statement and is waiting for the right time to publish it, but it will happen sooner or later. When that happens, you and Mr. Lore will have nothing to do with Mr. Fuller. So, tell me, will Mr. Fuller punish me for my indifference?"

"What did you say?!" Lynette was so startled by his remarks that she froze, and her voice turned shrill and ear-piercing. "Has Toby already drawn up a statement to break off ties with us?"

Even Harry couldn't be bothered to play his patient persona at this moment. He was panting earlier, but now, his breathing returned to a smoother cadence. It was the effect of Tom's words.

Tom sneered in disdain when he saw Harry behaving like this.

Harry felt a little embarrassed when he noticed Tom's derisive expression, knowing that Tom was mocking him for feigning illness. Still, he was even more devastated and preoccupied with Tom's remarks.

"Is Toby going to issue a statement about cutting ties with us?" Harry asked in a gloomy tone, his hands shaking violently all the while.

Tom crossed his arms in front of his chest as he mused, "Do you think it's fake news? What do I have to gain by lying to you about this?"
