Chapter 1118


    The door was opened and Mary was shocked to find not a servant outside but one of the security


    guards from the front gate.


    Taken aback as soon as she saw the man, she then asked solemnly, "What''s wrong?"


    Normally, the security guards would not enter the main house unless something had happened, so it


    was pretty much impossible for them to be directly knocking on Rose''s bedroom door, especially so


    late at night. As such, something major must have happened for the security guard to be here right


    now.


    "Mary, there are visitors at the door. It''s President Fuller''s mentor and he''s here to visit Old Mrs.


    Fuller. These are their details." The security guard handed over Harry''s name card to Mary.


    Mary reached out to take a look at it. As soon as she saw the name written on it, she scoffed, "They


    must be after something toe and visit Old Mrs. Fuller sote at night!"


    "Should we let them in? Or should we just tell them to leave? If you don''t want them toe in,


    then I''ll tell them off right now," asked the security guard as he looked at Mary.


    Mary folded the name card in her hand. "Hold on. I''ll consult Old Mrs. Fuller about this."


    "Okay." The security guard nodded respectfully.


    As such, Mary shut the door and turned around back into the room.


    Rose, who was originally lying down, was now sitting up in bed and had a book in her hands,


    seemingly engrossed in the book.


    At that sight, Mary immediately became unhappy. "Old Mrs. Fuller, why did you get up in bed and


    started to read? You were tucked into bed earlier!"


    Rose listened to Mary''s reproachful words; not only was she not upset by that, but she smiled


    cheerfully. "It''s okay, Mary. Don''t be upset. I had trouble falling asleep, so that''s why I sat up and did


    some reading. I''ll go to bed in a short while when I feel sleepy."


    "But you''re not supposed to stay up toote. It''s not good for your health." Mary walked over and


    attempted to remove the book from Rose''s hands and get Rose to lie down.


    However, Rose had already noticed what she was attempting to do. As soon as Mary reached out


    to grab the book, Rose shifted the book to the side and refused to let her get hold of it.


    At that point, Mary revealed an exasperated smile. "Old Mrs. Fuller, you…"


    "Mary, that''s enough." Rose maintained a smile on her face. "I realize that you''re worried about me,


    but my health is as you can see. So, how much worse can it get? Don''t worry. I''m well aware of my


    condition."


    Rose stubbornly insisted on getting some reading done before bed, so Mary had no other option for


    a moment there.


    At that moment, Rose suddenly noticed the card in Mary''s hand and she put her book aside to ask,


    "What''s that?"


    "Oh, this is a name card from the Lore Family." Mary suddenly recalled that as she handed over the


    card to Rose.


    Rose reached out to take it. "The Lore Family? Do you mean Toby''s mentor''s family?"


    "That''s them." Mary nodded. "They are at the front gates right now and they''re here to see you."


    "Here to see me?" Rose paused while holding onto the name card.


    Meanwhile, Mary smoothed over the nket that was over Rose. "Yes. I reckon that they must be


    here because of the incident on the inte this morning. Old Mrs. Fuller, you''ve heard of how Miss


    Lore framed Miss Reed. She''s trying to cause Young Master Toby to misunderstand Miss Reed and


    break up with Miss Reed so that she could take over Miss Reed''s position."


    By then, Rose was no longer interested to look at the name card as she folded it in half before


    casting it aside on her bedside table like it was a piece of rubbish. Rose sneered coldly, "I''m quite


    aware of what sort of personalities the Lore Family have and frankly speaking—though this may


    sound rude—they are just a bunch of rogues. I''ve known from the start that their daughter''s


    interested in Toby. He was the only person oblivious to that."


    Mary chuckled in response. "Young Master Toby tends to be quite clueless in rtionship matters


    and I guess that''s a good thing too because he wouldn''t have to be burdened unnecessarily."


    Rose smiled as she turned to look at her. "Toby''s not clueless at all. If he waspletely clueless in


    such rtionship matters, then he wouldn''t have fallen in love with Sonny while they were


    exchanging letters without even meeting her. He just can''t be bothered by people he''s not interested


    in, so that''s why he didn''t realize that Miss Lore was interested in him."


    "Whatever it is, it''s a good thing that Young Master Toby isn''t aware of Miss Lore''s intentions." Mary


    poured a ss of milk for Rose.


    A warm cup of milk could be good to aid sleep. Since Rose was unable to fall asleep, then perhaps


    drinking some milk could put her to sleep soon enough.


    Yet, Rose was aware of Mary''s intention. With a smile, she did not object to Mary''s offer and took


    the ss of milk. "This time, Miss Lore spread rumors about Sonny on the inte because she


    must have been unable to contain herself any longer. She didn''t want to see Toby and Sonny


    maintain their rtionship ''cause she must be concerned that she wouldn''t be able to rece


    Sonny''s position after that."


    "Hmph! I really don''t get what''s going on in the minds of young women nowadays. They refuse to


    behave decently and use devious means to get their way. To think that shees from a


    distinguished family, she''s actually intent on being a homewrecker!" Mary was disdainful as she


    spilled her words.


    As for Rose, she took a sip of milk and the previously amiable look in her eyes was reced with


    coldness. It was exactly the same cold look that Toby wore when he dealt with strangers. Clearly, he


    had learned many of his ways directly from Rose.


    "A distinguished family?" Rose sneered coldly. "How can she be considered to be from a


    distinguished family? If it wasn''t because of her grandfather''s luck back then in bing Toby''s


    mentor, their family would have be history. They wouldn''t have been able to continue unting


    amongst the wealthy by taking advantage of Young Master Toby''s name."


    "Old Mrs. Fuller, since you''re aware that the Lore Family have been behaving badly and unting by


    making use of Young Master Toby''s name, why didn''t you convince Young Master Toby to warn


    them?" Mary nced at Rose with a perplexed expression.


    Rose brushed her off. "What''s the point in me telling him? Even if Toby trusts my words, there is no


    evidence at all, so he wouldn''t be able to sever ties with them. After all, the Lore Family yed a


    role in guiding him in his studies, so I can''tment too much seeing that we''re indebted to them.


    Otherwise, we might be criticized for being ungrateful. That''s why I chose to keep silent and watch


    them continue their clown show. No matter how hard they try to mask themselves, they would end


    up exposing themselves and Toby would have to see through their true colors sooner orter. By


    then, the Lore Family'' kindness granted to Toby in the past would have been worn off by their


    misdeeds, so he wouldn''t be caught in a tight position if he went after them."


    "Okay, I get it." Mary nodded and agreed that this was a great idea. "I heard that Lte''s action of


    framing Miss Reed this time has angered Young Master Toby and he seems to have made up his


    mind to sever ties with the Lore Family. Furthermore, it seems like he will be taking action against


    the Lore Family. I''m not too sure how true that is, Old Mrs. Fuller. Why don''t you ask Young Master


    Toby?"


    Rose shook her head. "That''s not necessary. The rumors you heard must be true. Sonny''s precious


    to Toby and he would never allow anyone to harm her. The Lore Family''s actions must have


    triggered Toby''s rage. I know him very well and clearly, he won''t let them get away with things


    lightly. That''s why even though I got to know this matter today, I don''t n on calling Toby or Sonny


    to ask about it. I''m not going to interfere and I''ll let him deal with this himself."


    "Yes, I agree that you shouldn''t get involved. You should be enjoying a rxing life." Mary smiled.

    Rose smiled as well. "You''re right about that."


    "However, Mr. Lore''s here to see you. Perhaps because he knew that Young Master Toby is


    nning to cut ties with the Lore Family and he can''t get hold of Young Master Toby. That''s why he


    came over to see you and try to target you to resolve the matter. Otherwise, he would never pay


    you a visit. I don''t think that he''s here to visit because he respects you." Mary shot a look at the card


    by the side with a scornful smile.


    Rose ced the ss of milk aside. "Yeah. If I''m not mistaken, Harry''s been back for quite some


    time now, huh?"


    "He''s been back for more than two weeks now," Mary replied.


    Meanwhile, Rose ced a wizened hand on her abdomen and patted it gently. "Yes. He''s been


    back for more than two weeks and yet he didn''t bother toe over and visit me throughout that


    period. Clearly, he couldn''t care less about me. Now that he''s encountered trouble, he''s finally


    thought of seeing me. Obviously, he''s trying to take advantage of me and I''m just a tool to him. Do


    you reckon that I should show him my temper?"
