Making a Fuss
Now that his scheme was exposed, Harry felt embarrassed as he sat there frozen. Rose, who saw that
he was in a daze, smiled while patting the back of Mary’s hand. “Mr. Lore, Mary’s right. You should
speak what’s on your mind instead of running in circles. I’m old now, so I don’t have the spirit to play
this game with you. Wouldn’t that just be wasting our time?”
Squeezing out a smile, Harry replied, “You’re right, Old Mrs. Fuller. If so, I’ll speak my mind then.” “You
should have,” Rose calmly stated.
Inhaling a deep breath in, Harry found himself in a difficult situation. He had gotten used to speaking in
an indirect way, so diving straight into the topic was not his forte. To him, it felt like he would easily lose
the dominant side of the situation.
For so many years, he had always spoken like this, even to Toby, who did not seem to mind his way of
speaking.
Only this old lady has so many problems with it.
Closing his eyes, Harry disguised his opinions against her and slowly opened his mouth. “There’s this
thing that happened. It’s not major nor is it minor. It’s an incident that concerns Toby’s ex-wife.”
“I would like to correct something, Mr. Lore. She’s not Toby’s ex-wife. Miss Reed has always been his
wife. They have just been separated for now and will remarry each other again. Since it’s been—and
always will be—Miss Reed, then there is no such thing as an ‘ex-wife’, is there?” Mary asked while
smiling at Harry.
Yet, this smile was only surface deep.
Since Harry was able to decipher her true intentions, he knew that she was warning him to not speak
out of line. Panicking, he felt helpless as he maintained his smile and replied, “You’re right, Mary. I
worded that wrongly. You won’t hear it again.”
Regardless, he was not about to admit that he said that on purpose.
Naturally, Mary and Rose could hear how stubborn he was behaving. This was no surprise because
they knew how he was like.
“Since you know your mistake, Mr. Lore, please continue.” Mary decided to not expose him while
gesturing for him to continue.
Taking another deep breath, Harry tried his best to compose himself before continuing, “The scandal
that concerned Miss Reed went like this. Apparently, she and her friend were discussing business at a
hotel when a paparazzi took a photo of them. When it was uploaded online, the article stated that she
betrayed Toby and had an affair with that friend of hers.
It became a major topic online and everybody believed that was what she did. So, for a period of time,
a lot of malicious comments were directed at Miss Reed until she managed to find evidence to prove
herself innocent. Then, she exposed the real perpetrator, who happened to not be the media company.
Rather, it was my granddaughter that ordered the company to do it.”
“Oh, really?” Mary acted like she was hearing it for the first time.
She was a capable actress as she had a lot of experience when dealing with her enemies. As soon as
she decided to put on an act, not a lot of people could differentiate whether she was sincere or not. At
the very least, Harry and Grayson could not tell, so they really thought that Rose was oblivious to this
incident.
Wait, she didn’t know? Phew! If so, I can control this situation even better. With this in mind, Harry
started to look around as the ploys he was devising almost manifested themselves from his gaze.
This made Rose and Mary look at each other and they noticed a visible disgust in their eyes. This old
b*stard. He’s actually calculating how to trick us right in front of our eyes. How foolish.
Unknowing that his inner thoughts had been exposed by them, Harry was still secretly jumping for joy.
Coughing lightly, he then stated, “That’s the rough story. I feel very sorry that this happened. I really
didn’t think that my granddaughter would do such a thing.”
With a guilty expression, he looked as fake as he could get. This was a person that did not know how
to act, for he showed how immature his skills were. Without even batting an eye at him, Rose grew
impatient. “Why did she do that?”
Harry thought that Rose spoke in an upset manner due to what his granddaughter did. Not knowing
that it was because of himself, he showed a guilty facade. “I also knew about this not long ago, hence
my visit.”
“So, why did she do that?” Rose slowly took a sip of her tea. “If my memory serves me right, your
granddaughter isn’t acquainted with Sonny, no? Why did she frame her like that? What did she have to
gain from it?”
She acted as if she was unaware how Lynette felt about her grandson.
Sighing, Harry replied, “Lynette indeed doesn’t know Miss Reed, but Toby was my student, so he and
Lynette are considered childhood friends. As they are close enough to be considered siblings or niece
and uncle, they always shared a close relationship. Even though she had been abroad all this time, she
had been keeping close tabs on what was going on here.
After she knew that Toby had reconciled with Miss Reed, she became especially attentive. Since Toby
was someone she cared about, she might have been too rash or misunderstood the situation. Either
way, she thought that Miss Reed had let Toby down, so she had the media upload the article.”
“Does that mean that your granddaughter’s innocent? So, what you’re trying to say is that she did not
plot against Sonny and she only wanted to help Toby, right?” Rose commented and closed her eyes.
With a bright gaze, Harry nodded profusely. “Yes, yes. It’s as you said. Miss Reed is somewhat
considered to be a sister-in-law to Lynette. If so, why would she frame her, seeing that they don’t have
bad blood or know each other? The real reason is that she only wanted to stand up for Toby.
She’s not a malicious person. She never thought that she would attract so much trouble for Miss Reed
by uploading the article. After she calmed down, Lynette actually regretted her actions a lot. Yet, it was
already too late when she wanted to apologize to Miss Reed, as she had already publicly stated she
won’t forgive her on the internet.”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t forgive her either.” Rose scraped her cup gently against the coaster before
commenting.
This made Harry freeze up. “Old Mrs. Fuller, you—”
“Are you finding it hard to understand why I’d say that? Why I would stand on Sonny’s side?” Rose
looked at him.
Harry did not reply, for she had grasped his inner thoughts precisely.
Sneering, Rose continued, “Why should I forgive her? Regardless if the other party intended it or not,
the damage is done. This is the fact. As a victim, why should I forgive the perpetrator? Just because
she stood up for someone? If she wanted to stand up for Toby, why didn’t she take this to Toby instead
of uploading it?
Her actions not only made Sonny become the target of everyone, it implicated Toby too, making him
the butt of everyone’s joke. Her actions had hurt people, so why should Sonny forget and forgive her
just because she apologized? Even an old woman like myself isn’t that magnanimous or forgivable.
Sonny is very similar to me in this regard. So, I support her decision by choosing not to forgive
Lynette.”
After hearing Rose’s words, Harry found the reality hard to swallow. “Even so, Lynette did it for Toby.
Although she might have gone about it with the wrong method, she meant good.
Now, not only does Miss Reed not forgive nor accept an apology from her, Toby even blacklisted my
family because of this. He didn’t even accept my call or a face-to-face talk, and I’m his teacher! I heard
that he is going to cut all ties with my family. Isn’t this a bit overboard?”
