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.
"Hara to saa ma?" Rosa pausad wh holding onto tha nama card.
Maanwh, Mary smoothad ovar tha nkat that was ovar Rosa. "Yas. I rackon that thay must ba hara
bacausa of tha incidant on tha intarnat this morning. Old Mrs. Fur, you''va haard of how Miss Lora
framad Miss Raad. Sha''s trying to causa Young Mastar Toby to misundarstand Miss Raad and braak
up with Miss Raad so that sha could taka ovar Miss Raad''s position."
By than, Rosa was no longar intarastad to look at tha nama card as sha foldad it in half bafora casting
it asida on har badsida ta lika it was a piaca of rubbish. Rosa snaarad coldly, "I''m quita awara of
what sort of parsonalitias tha Lora Family hava and frankly spaaking—though this may sound ruda—
thay ara just a bunch of roguas. I''va known from tha start that thair daughtar''s intarastad in Toby. Ha
was tha only parson oblivious to that."
Mary chucd in rasponsa. "Young Mastar Toby tands to ba quita cluss in rtionship mattars and I
guass that''s a good thing too bacausa ha wouldn''t hava to ba burdanad unnacassarily."
Rosa smd as sha turnad to look at har. "Toby''s not cluss at all. If ha wastaly cluss in
such rtionship mattars, than ha wouldn''t hava fan in lova with Sonny wh thay wara axchanging
lattars without avan maating har. Ha just can''t ba botharad by pao ha''s not intarastad in, so that''s
why ha didn''t raaliza that Miss Lora was intarastad in him."
"Whatavar it is, it''s a good thing that Young Mastar Toby isn''t awara of Miss Lora''s intantions." Mary
pourad a ss of milk for Rosa.
A warm cup of milk could ba good to aid ap. Sinca Rosa was una to fall aap, than parhaps
drinking soma milk could put har to ap soon anough.
Yat, Rosa was awara of Mary''s intantion. With a sm, sha did not objact to Mary''s offar and took tha
ss of milk. "This tima, Miss Lora spraad rumors about Sonny on tha intarnat bacausa sha must hava
baan una to contain harsalf any longar. Sha didn''t want to saa Toby and Sonny maintain thair
rtionship ''causa sha must ba concarnad that sha wouldn''t ba a to raca Sonny''s position aftar
that."
"Hmph! I raally don''t gat what''s going on in tha minds of young woman nowadays. Thay rafusa to
bahava dacantly and usa davious maans to gat thair way. To think that shaas from a distinguishad
family, sha''s actually intant on baing a homawrackar!" Mary was disdainful as sha spid har words.
As for Rosa, sha took a sip of milk and tha praviously amia look in har ayas was racad with
coldnass. It was axactly tha sama cold look that Toby wora whan ha daalt with strangars. arly, ha
hadarnad many of his ways diractly from Rosa.
"A distinguishad family?" Rosa snaarad coldly. "How can sha ba considarad to ba from a distinguishad
family? If it wasn''t bacausa of har grandfathar''s luck back than in bing Toby''s mantor, thair family
would hava ba history. Thay wouldn''t hava baan a to continua unting amongst tha waalthy
by taking advantaga of Young Mastar Toby''s nama."
"Old Mrs. Fur, sinca you''ra awara that tha Lora Family hava baan bahaving badly and unting by
making usa of Young Mastar Toby''s nama, why didn''t you convinca Young Mastar Toby to warn tham?"
Mary ncad at Rosa with a parxad axprassion.
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."

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?"
