This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 1298

Chapter 1298 Crocodile Tears

In actuality, even Grace thought if Toby wanted to disown his mentor due to Lynette’s actions from the incident and take back all the care that he had shown the Lores, then it would be cruel and heartless on his part.

Let’s say that Lynette is really in the wrong and the Lores aren’t exactly saints, this doesn’t warrant how cold Toby is treating them. If Toby was such a cold person, I wouldn’t be able to rest easy, knowing that Sonny is with him.

Yet, after meeting him once, Grace understood that he was not such an individual, as she knew he was not one to project a person’s wrongdoing onto their entire family.

So, this can only mean that there is another reason why Toby is handling the incident regarding the Lores like this. It’s just that people have yet to learn why. At Grace’s question, Sonia recounted the whole incident with Lynette and her henchmen truthfully.

Grace, who came to know the whole proceeding, slapped her leg in anger. “This is why I said that the Lores must’ve done something else. Otherwise, why would Toby do this? This daughter of the Lore Family is just a poison to society along with her entire family, scheming like sly foxes without any moral compass.

Not only did the seniors in the family not properly lecture the next generation and apologize for their shenanigans after they were in the wrong, but they also conspired behind other people’s backs. Especially that old fool, Harry. What a shameless thing to do at his age. And he actually calls himself a teacher.”

The mention of Harry made Grace show a face full of contempt and scorn toward him.

Sonia pushed the empty bowl of chowder aside before stating, “I don’t really understand this person as well. Mrs. Lane, I don’t think you know about this, but he also talked bad in front of Toby about me in the past, advising that he should break up with me.”

“What? Are you serious?” Shocked, Grace was furious. “This shameless fossil. How could he even intervene in his student’s love affairs? I guessed that he only said that for his granddaughter. If you guys broke up, then that granddaughter of his would have a chance. Belittling others behind their backs? Laughable. How could such a person exist? Toby is also to blame for this, choosing such a crook for a mentor.”

“Now that you mention this, it seems like this might have been a ploy too.” Sonia peered through her eyes. Curious, Grace asked, “What do you mean by this, Sonny?”

“We’ll have to start from more than ten years ago when Toby was still in university. At that time, to delve deeper into the research of economics, he had to have a Ph.D., so he needed to find a mentor. Back then, the best econometrist was Harry Lore, and another person, Professor Randall, whom Toby actually chose.

Both Toby and the professor had even settled on the day of the first meeting when the day before, Professor Randall passed away abruptly, so Toby could only settle for the other candidate, which was Harry. Otherwise, Toby’s mentor would’ve been Professor Randall instead of Harry.”

“So, I see. It was because he didn’t have another choice.” Grace nodded. “This is why I found it strange that Toby chose a person like that old man to be his mentor. At first, I thought Toby had very low standards for choosing him. Yet, it was a pity that the professor he was supposed to be mentored under passed away just a day before.”

Grace sighed.

Pursing her lips, Sonia stated, “Toby suspects that Professor Randall’s death might have had something to do with Harry. After all, Harry would stand to benefit the most if Professor Randall died. Also, a lot of details surrounding his demise pointed to his death not being an accident, as it resembled more like a plot. This was why Toby thought that Professor Randall might have died at Harry’s hand.

Adding on Lynette’s actions toward me and how the Lores managed their affairs led to Toby becoming overtly dissatisfied toward Harry, prompting him to cut ties with him. Otherwise, it would have been a bit extreme for Toby to cancel their relationship and take back what the Lores benefited under his care just because of Lynette.”

“This makes sense too.” Grace nodded. “So, Toby is investigating that professor’s death?”

“That’s right.” Standing up, Sonia walked toward the couch. “Since he has his suspicions, he decided to look into it more. He wants to seek justice for Professor Randall. If Harry really did it, then Toby would not let him walk away scot-free. He also cut ties with Harry for the upcoming revenge since Toby would not have to act mercifully if they aren’t related whatsoever.”
