Chapter 1117
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."
Harry affirmed, "Right now, that seems to be the only thing we can do. Old Mrs. Fuller is an elder whom Toby cares the most about. Once Old Mrs. Fuller voices out, Toby would definitely agree to everything she says."
"This sounds like a great idea, but..." Grayson scratched his head. "Dad, Old Mrs. Fuller has never been too enthusiastic toward our family members, so will we succeed if we go over to see her?"
"Well, we have to give it a try, don't we?" Harry shot a look at Grayson from the side of his eyes before lowering his head and expressing calmly, "Plus, I'm not too sure why, but I keep having an uneasy feeling, so we've got to patch our relationship with Toby as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if this persists, there will be much more terrible things to occur."
"Okay. Let's head over right now." Grayson nodded and instructed the driver to start the car.
An hour later, they arrived at Fuller Residence and the duo alighted from the car to clarify their identities to the security guards.
The security guards knew that Harry was Toby's mentor, so they took into account Harry's position and naturally did ont dare to delay the situation. As such, the guards reported the situation to the main house instantly.
It was past 9.00PM and Rose had just gotten ready for bed with Mary's help. She was just about to retire to bed when there was a knock on the door.
Mary frowned in annoyance. "It's so late. Why are the servants knocking on the door at this time of the night?"
"There must be something urgent. Open the door, Mary," Rose spoke with a smile as she was not bothered at all.
"That's alright. They can wait. I'll help you into bed first," said Mary as she helped Rose plump up her pillow.
Mary was insistent, so Rose went along with Mary's words and got into bed. After Rose made herself comfortable in bed, Mary tucked her under the blanket before turning around to open the door.
