Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1293

Similarly, Lynette could not accept the accusation.

When she heard Toby describing their family as selfish and manipulative, she immediately exploded in anger, jumping up and down as she pointed a finger at him. "Toby, what do you mean? Our family is nothing like what you described! Your words are too hurtful. Not only that, my grandpa is your mentor. How could you deem him unqualified? You—"

"Am I wrong?" He stared icily at her and cut her off, "Isn't the Lore Family exactly like how I described?"

"I…I…" Her rage tapered off when she looked into his unemotional eyes, and she started stammering. She had trouble stringing words together.

Despite that, he did not let this slide. "As for your grandpa, he is indeed unqualified to be my mentor. After all, I chose Professor Randall over him in the past. Had it not been for that accident, and my urgent need for a supervisor for deeper research, I would not have picked your grandpa as my mentor."

Harry was seething when he heard that.

At first, he was already incensed when he was branded as an unqualified mentor by Toby. His entire career was being brushed off by Toby's words.

When he heard the mention of Professor Randall, his expression crumbled. Guilt, disquiet, and nervousness flashed across his face.

Meanwhile, Toby had been quietly observing the old man, and he looked grim when he saw the range of Harry's emotional display. Indeed, he had brought up Professor Randall's name on purpose. Earlier, he had a feeling that Professor Randall's death was not an accident—Harry Lore might have been involved in it, especially since he would be the greatest beneficiary of Professor Randall's passing.

Toby also dispatched secret investigations on any potential foul play by Harry in Professor Randall's death. Unfortunately, most clues and traces of the incident were gone after many years. It was a difficult mission to get to the bottom of it, which explained Tom's lack of updates for a while.

Just now, Toby deliberately dropped Professor Randall's name to observe Harry's response.

If Harry was calm, it would suggest that he had nothing to do with Professor Randall's death, which could truly be an accident.

If the opposite happened, it would indicate that Harry might have something to do with Professor Randall's death.

Now, the link between Professor Randall's death and Harry's involvement had been established. Why else would Harry appear guilty and nervous at the mention of Professor Randall's name? Harry must have suffered from a guilty conscience.

Toby secretly put himself down, feeling that he had not done enough for Professor Randall, whose advice he sought the most during his college days. Their bond was as strong as a family. Therefore, Toby was greatly impacted by his professor's death.

He had once decided to drop the matter if Professor Randall's death was an accident. However, if it was murder, he would avenge his beloved professor. Alas, he had accepted the police's report without questioning—it ruled the death as an accident.

Many years later, when he revisited the circumstances and details surrounding Professor Randall's death, he found many inconsistencies.
