Chapter 1121

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.
