This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 1120

Chapter 1120 Take Advantage of Old Mrs. Fuller

Harry nodded. “It would definitely be grand of course. This was one of the prehistoric castles from the past. After the war ended, this place was granted to Old Mr. Fuller as a reward for the sacrifices he made for the country. Subsequently, the Fullers invested a lot of money into refurbishing the place. They gradually did some renovations to the original building and finally, we have the Fuller Residence you see today.”

“Oh, so it used to be a prehistoric castle. No wonder it’s massive. The other prehistoric castles in the country have all been confiscated by the government and forcefully demolished. It’s quite rare to see this. It would be great if we had a prehistoric castle in the family, huh?” Grayson scanned the surroundings with an envious look in his eyes.

Yet, Harry remained silent. He was, too, tempted to own a prehistoric castle, but they were neither influential nor rich enough to afford that.

It was fine though, because once Lynette joined the Fuller Family and after the demise of Old Mrs. Fuller, Lynette would then become the lady of the mansion. By then, he might be able to move into this place and there would be no difference whether he owned the place or not. As for Jean, Harry conveniently disregarded her.

The father and son duo chatted with each other and arrived at the main living room quite soon after that.

As soon as they walked through the doors, Harry and Grayson noticed that Rose was sipping tea while sitting in the middle of the room.

Hearing the incoming footsteps, she put down her teacup and lifted her head to take a look at the father and son duo brought in by the security guard.

“Old Mrs. Fuller, here they are.” The security guard led the duo into the living room and stopped in front of Rose before gesturing to the two men behind him as he reported back to her.

Rose put down her teacup and nodded. “Alright, back to your station. I’ll get you if there is anything important.”

“Sure, Old Mrs. Fuller.” The security guard bowed and turned around to leave.

As such, there were only Rose, Mary, Harry, and Grayson left in the room.

Rose took a look at Harry and Grayson before giving instructions to Mary, who was behind her, by gesturing with her lips. “Mary, pour them some tea.”

“Sure, Old Mrs. Fuller.” Mary stood up and affirmed before heading toward the father and son duo. After showing the two of them to their seats, she poured them some tea.

Meanwhile, Rose pretended to be clueless about Harry and Grayson’s purpose of visit. Hence, she asked, “What brings you here at this time of the night?”

Harry took the cup of tea poured by Mary and he smiled while saying, “I’m so sorry, Rosy. It’s late at night, yet I’m here to intrude on your rest time. I had no choice, though. I—”

At that point, Rose’s expression darkened and she immediately interrupted his words, “What did you just call me?” There was an unmistakable tone of anger in her voice.

Stunned, Harry clearly did not comprehend why she had suddenly flared up at him. He thought about it and did not find that there was anything wrong with his words. However, Rose was not the only one with a thunderous expression as even Mary had a darkened look on her face; she clearly looked upset.

As soon as Harry and Grayson saw that, their hearts skipped a beat.

Grayson instantly turned to look at Harry questioningly. Dad, what did you just say? Why are they so upset?

After she finished drinking the tea, she put down the teacup and glanced at Grayson and Harry, who looked agitated. Then, she sneered coldly, “Snatching my position? Well, I think you’re the one who seems to be trying to take my position. All of us here are your elders and we’re talking to each other, so how dare you interrupt our conversation!”

As soon as Rose said that, her expression darkened. “Besides, how dare you refer to Mary as a servant! She’s not only my friend, but she’s also family to me. What’s wrong with a member of my family standing up for me? Besides, she isn’t wrong about how your dad here is trying to walk all over me!”

Hearing that, Grayson’s face turned as red as Harry’s and he was completely at a loss for words.

At that pathetic sight, Rose continued to sneer coldly and disdainfully, “That’s enough. At least you’re right about something earlier on. You’re our guests, so as the host, I shouldn’t be rude. Therefore, I won’t pursue the matter earlier. Let’s leave things as it is. Now tell me, why are you here to see me at this time of the night?”

She spoke in such a nonchalant voice that she did not sound enthusiastic at all. Everyone present could clearly tell that she was in fact disinterested in their purpose of visiting. The only reason she was willing to ask was out of courtesy. After all, they were here and she could not possibly cast them aside.

Harry comprehended the meaning behind Rose’s words and he was fairly angry. His face turned purple out of anger, but he had no other option. Although she was disinterested, he could not do anything else as he tried hard to suppress his anger.

As such, he clenched his fist tightly and took several deep breaths before finally calming down. Then, he revealed a forced smile and said, “Old Mrs. Fuller, here’s the thing. I came here because of an incident that occurred today. I’m not too sure whether you’re aware of it, though?” Harry asked probingly.

Following his question, Rose rolled her eyes secretly and the impatient expression on her face deepened.

As soon as Mary saw that, she instantly caught on to it and spoke coldly to Harry, “Mr. Lore, whatever it is, just be frank here. There’s no need to beat around the bush and probe Old Mrs. Fuller for information. She’s about to go to bed soon, so there’s no use in playing mind games with you here. Just be frank, got it?”
