Chapter 1122 Thoroughly Exposed
“Overboard?” As if she had heard something ridiculous, Rose slammed the table and sneered, “Mr. Lore, in your eyes, Toby and Sonny dealt with this a bit too seriously, didn’t they?”
“Is that not the case?” Harry was visibly upset now. “Yes, Lynette is in the wrong, but she didn’t mean it. Does Toby need to cut ties with my family just because of this? Isn’t it enough when we’ve apologized?”
“So, this is your stance on this situation.” Rose smirked. “In my opinion, I think they did the right thing. I don’t care if your granddaughter intended this or not, I only know that she did it without verifying the truth and concluded it one-sidedly. She was so sure that Sonny had betrayed Toby and uploaded the pictures. Her aim? To let Sonny suffer under the public’s criticism. Yet, have you ever thought about what would happen if Sonny was not tough enough to face the backlash?”
“I’m aware, Madam.” Mary peered at Harry coldly. “Miss Reed might suffer from mental breakdown and commit suicide. Since this happens often, the number of people who die because of cyberbullying is actually quite high.”
“That’s right.” Rose nodded. “That means that your granddaughter nearly killed Sonny. Toby loves her a lot. Since he nearly lost Sonny, what makes you think he won’t cut ties with you after the incident? Who told you to mess with the person he loves the most? This is why I’m in favor of their response.”
Harry was rendered speechless by their words.
After a while, he finally replied, “But this isn’t as serious as you make it out to be. Isn’t Miss Reed fine?”
“Sonny is fine, but that doesn’t mean that she should forgive your misdeeds.” Rose snorted.
Clenching his fist, Harry continued, “It is our fault. We are willing to apologize to Miss Reed. We are even willing to compensate her, but she… Sigh. She doesn’t want to let this go and keeps wanting to argue this. She even brought Toby into this. He wasn’t like this in the past.”
“What’s with the sudden comparison?” Rose’s expression darkened. “Are you implying that Toby was negatively influenced by Sonny?”
Afraid that Rose might worsen her health due to anger, Mary patted her on the shoulder, hinting that she should calm down. Then, Marry stepped forward and smiled coldly at Harry.
“Mr. Lore, only snakes speak like you did. Don’t think that we can’t tell you’re purposefully making Miss Reed look bad in front of Old Mrs. Fuller. You just want to make her feel disdain toward Miss Reed and let her separate Young Master Toby and Miss Reed. You sure did plan ahead quite thoroughly. Too bad, Madam knows best what kind of person Miss Reed is like. So, don’t treat us as fools and assume we don’t see through you. We’ve seen countless people like you.”
“I’m not—”
“Enough.” Rose showed her palm to him, breaking off what Harry was about to say, for she had lost all patience at this point. “Mr. Lore, I’m not sure if you are stupid or foolish. You came with the intention of wanting me to be the mediator, to persuade Toby and Sonny to accept the apology of your family and save the relationship you share with him. Then, you should’ve praised Sonny in front of me instead of belittling her. After all, you already know that I like her a lot. If you had made me happy by praising her, I might even persuade them on your behalf. Yet, I didn’t think you’d be this dumb to cut your only option off like this.”
“That’s right.” Mary, who saw that Rose wanted to get up, quickly bent over and helped her up. “Mr. Lore, do you think we’re clueless to what you’re trying to do? You’re just trying to belittle her to the point where Madam would separate her away from Young Master Toby! We know it all. We know that you’re using this awful tactic to help your granddaughter get married to him!”
