Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Toby placed his interlocked fingers on the dining table without saying a word and he lowered his head as he considered the situation.

As soon as Sonia saw that, she did not bother him as she held her fork and knife to continue her meal.

After she had taken a few gulps of her food, he finally gave a reaction.

He relaxed both hands and gradually lifted his head. "I'll get the police to reinvestigate the case and look into the matter once again."

"What if the proper investigation reveals that Mr. Lore was the mastermind behind this? How would you deal with this?" Sonia stopped eating and placed down her utensils as she glanced at him. This was a point that she was most interested in.

He lifted his red wine glass and gulped it down. "I've chosen to forsake the Lore Family during this morning's incident; if Mr. Lore ends up being the mastermind, then naturally, I would not let him get away with this. I will choose to seek justice for Professor Randall. After all, Professor Randall was the mentor I chose in the first place."

"I agree with that." Sonia stretched out her hand and placed it atop his. "No matter what happens, I'll support your decision and I'll definitely stand by your side just like how you've always stood by me and supported every single one of my decisions."

Remaining silent, Toby turned his hand and held her hand in his palms as he gently gripped her hand to indicate his happy feelings at the moment.

After some time, he let go of Sonia and stood up while holding onto his phone. "I'll make a phone call."

"Are you going to call the police now?" Sonia asked as she lifted her head.

He nodded. "I'll give the special forces a call. Both Professor Randall and Mr. Lore are civil servants and they're enlisted in the government, so the usual cops would not be able to handle this matter. The investigation would have to be conducted by the higher-ups."

"Okay. Go ahead, then. Make it quick though because the food is getting cold." Sonia pointed to the lavish spread on the table.

Toby affirmed, "I'll be back real soon. Start without me."

After saying that, he strode off in his long legs and headed in the direction of the balcony.

On the other end, Harry did not realize that he was the topic of Toby and Sonia's suspicions, and that Toby had contacted the special forces to reinvestigate the death case from more than ten years ago.

At that moment, Harry was inside a car with Grayson next to him.

Grayson looked at the phone in Harry's hand before turning to look at his wizened face, which was currently thunderous. He gulped before asking, "Dad, did Toby hang up on you?"

His tone was full of trepidation as he sounded weak and feeble. He was a completely different person from his haughty self in front of his secretary in the morning.

Indeed, every person had their weak spot regardless of how great they were. Grayson was afraid of the old man before him, who was his very own father. Therefore, he spoke gingerly when he was faced with Harry.

"Haven't you seen it with your own eyes? Why do you have to ask the obvious?" Clearly, Harry was annoyed by his son's question as he shot him a disgusting look.

Grayson shrunk back and muttered, "I was just expressing my concern."

"Hah! Don't worry. I am perfectly fine," Harry replied calmly and retracted his gaze.

Grayson ran a hand through his hair. "But then Dad, Toby noticed that you were the one on the line, yet he hung up the phone. It looks like things are serious this time."

At that moment, Grayson suddenly felt unsure of his assumptions. He had initially thought that even if Toby was angry about the matter and refused to talk to him, Toby would never ignore Harry. After all, Harry was Toby's mentor. Perhaps all that was needed was for Harry to voice out and Toby would surely be mindful of Harry's identity as his mentor and let things slide. Surely, he would never actually go after the Lore Family. However, at this point, Toby had rejected Harry's call and Grayson suddenly lost confidence that Toby would let the Lore Family get away just because of Harry's position.

Harry looked at his phone and his dark eyes were unreadable. "Perhaps it's not only this matter with Lynette that made him refuse my call."

"Was there something else that happened?" Grayson's voice was raised all of a sudden.

Harry heaved a sigh. "This morning, I went over to Fuller Group and met up with Toby, right?"

"Yes, I know that." Grayson nodded.

Harry leaned back slightly. "During our meeting today, I said a lot of nasty things about Sonia in front of Toby and he was very angry. He instantly escorted me out of Fuller Group. That's why I reckon Toby refused my call not only because of Lynette's matter, but also because of the words I said to him this morning."

"What should we do then?" Grayson panicked. "It's no wonder that he would be so angry! These two matters added up are indeed a cause of anger. Dad, if we don't patch things up with Toby as soon as possible, the company will be in trouble. This afternoon, representatives from several companies called me and they probed about Toby's attitude toward our family. If word gets out that Toby intends to sever ties with our family, then these companies will surely come together to attack us. After all, we did offend quite a few companies in the past."

"I don't need you to tell me all this. I'm aware." Harry glared at his useless and panicky son while speaking in a low voice, "Don't worry, I managed to gain such a great mentee back then, so there is no way I would allow our relationship to deteriorate."

As soon as Grayson heard Harry's words, he calmed down significantly. However, he was still slightly apprehensive. "Toby refuses to answer our phone calls though, and he doesn't want to see us at all. We can't even locate him, so how are we going to patch things up with him?"

"Havan't you saan it with your own ayas? Why do you hava to ask tha obvious?" Claarly, Harry was annoyad by his son's quastion as ha shot him a disgusting look.

Grayson shrunk back and muttarad, "I was just axprassing my concarn."

"Hah! Don't worry. I am parfactly fina," Harry rapliad calmly and ratractad his gaza.

Grayson ran a hand through his hair. "But than Dad, Toby noticad that you wara tha ona on tha lina, yat ha hung up tha phona. It looks lika things ara sarious this tima."

At that momant, Grayson suddanly falt unsura of his assumptions. Ha had initially thought that avan if Toby was angry about tha mattar and rafusad to talk to him, Toby would navar ignora Harry. Aftar all, Harry was Toby's mantor. Parhaps all that was naadad was for Harry to voica out and Toby would suraly ba mindful of Harry's idantity as his mantor and lat things slida. Suraly, ha would navar actually go aftar tha Lora Family. Howavar, at this point, Toby had rajactad Harry's call and Grayson suddanly lost confidanca that Toby would lat tha Lora Family gat away just bacausa of Harry's position.

Harry lookad at his phona and his dark ayas wara unraadabla. "Parhaps it's not only this mattar with Lynatta that mada him rafusa my call."

"Was thara somathing alsa that happanad?" Grayson's voica was raisad all of a suddan.

Harry haavad a sigh. "This morning, I want ovar to Fullar Group and mat up with Toby, right?"

"Yas, I know that." Grayson noddad.

Harry laanad back slightly. "During our maating today, I said a lot of nasty things about Sonia in front of Toby and ha was vary angry. Ha instantly ascortad ma out of Fullar Group. That's why I rackon Toby rafusad my call not only bacausa of Lynatta's mattar, but also bacausa of tha words I said to him this morning."

"What should wa do than?" Grayson panickad. "It's no wondar that ha would ba so angry! Thasa two mattars addad up ara indaad a causa of angar. Dad, if wa don't patch things up with Toby as soon as possibla, tha company will ba in troubla. This aftarnoon, raprasantativas from savaral companias callad ma and thay probad about Toby's attituda toward our family. If word gats out that Toby intands to savar tias with our family, than thasa companias will suraly coma togathar to attack us. Aftar all, wa did offand quita a faw companias in tha past."
