Mason flew to Hucksburgh, and by the time the car arrived at Hucksburgh Hotel, it was nine in the evening.Neon lights were shining brightly.The night was gentle and charming.Mason stepped out of the black RV. At first glance. He saw a couple strolling side by side.His wife was with another man.In the early winter night, she wore a deep camel cashmere coat. Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders with a slight curl, adding a touch of romance to the night. Her face was serene, and there was even a hint of joy in her expression, especially when she talked to Cecil. Her gaze was focused.It was nothing like when he looked at her, cold and indifferent.Mason, in his distinguished attire, stood in the hotel atrium. He raised his hand to check the time.When he saw the photo in the late afternoon, it was exactly six o'clock. Now it was already nine, meaning for these three hours, Zoe had been with Cecil, spending time together like lovers.Mason walked toward them.Zoe
After a long time, he finally stopped.He pressed his lips against her soft ones, whispering, "You're not allowed to like him."Zoe pushed him away, her tone indifferent. "I'll order dinner for you. Talking about likes and dislikes is childish."However, he pulled her back.Mason kissed her again, lifting her off the ground to kiss her deeply. After several years of marriage, Zoe only now realized how obsessed Mason could be in such matters. When he finally let her go, her legs trembled uncontrollably.She felt embarrassed thinking about what had happened just then..Mason was practically a beast.His sophisticated appearance was just a facade. At his core, he wasn't much different from those lecherous and vulgar men. He played even more recklessly.Zoe remained unmoved.She had deeply loved Mason and had witnessed his nobility, wealth, and the tenderness he showed when necessary. For young girls experiencing their first love, these were irresistible qualities.However, Mason
Mason asked softly, "What's making you so happy?"Zoe was rarely in a cheerful mood. However, sharing joy with Mason wasn't suitable for their current relationship. She held her phone and vaguely said, "The thing I've been wanting to buy is finally available."Mason thought it might be some luxurious item like jewelry. He smiled and said, "Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."Holding her phone, Zoe walked barefoot into the closet. Mason's voice came from behind."You never let your phone out of your sight. Are you worried I'll see something I shouldn't? Did you add some new eye candy to your contacts list again?"In the closet, Zoe picked out an outfit to change into. She spoke softly, "What secrets could I have? Hucksburgh is your stronghold, right? Returning to a familiar place should bring back some memories, right?"There was a slight twinge in Mason's heart. He followed her, leaning against the door and gazing at her serene appearance. He couldn't help but say, "I ha
"What is it?" Though not yet 30, Mason was known for his calm demeanor in the business world. It was a force to be reckoned with. However, what Ava said next threw him into a panic.Speaking in a hushed tone, Ava said, "Did you agree to let Lilith do a photoshoot for a keepsake? It was originally my responsibility, but with the wedding preparations keeping me busy, I delegated the task to an assistant. "The assistant misunderstood the situation. They actually gave the keys to Kirk Manor to the Wright family. Early this morning, Lilith did a photoshoot inside, and she even posted it on Facebook with a caption that's quite over the top. 'The one who isn't loved is the real mistress.'"Mason's grip on his phone turned white. In the next five seconds, he devised a plan. "Immediately contact the person in charge at Facebook. Make sure they delete Lilith's Facebook post at all costs. I don't want Zoe to see this.""I'll do my best! But by now, the post has already been shared 100,00
Zoe had yet to speak.Mason caught her hand, his gaze deep. "I'm flying back to Brookesville to handle this. Zoe, I will suppress this matter, and minimize the negative impact."Zoe lowered her eyes.After a while, she smiled bitterly. "How can it be suppressed? There are over a hundred thousand reposts, Mason. Tell me, how can you suppress it?"Mason tightened his grip on her hand momentarily, but he still left.This matter with Lilith not only affected the Sanders family but also the Lockwood Group.If not handled well, Lockwood Group's stocks could fall to their lowest today.Mason walked to the theater entrance.He couldn't help but turn around to look at Zoe, but Zoe didn't look at him.She stood under the spotlight, fragile and lonely.She softly told the theater manager, "I want to be alone for a while, is it okay?"The manager sympathized with her situation and quickly said, "Of course, Ms. Zoe. I'll clear the place for you. You can stay as long as you want. We close
Zoe returned to Brookesville and drove directly to the cemetery from the airport.In early winter, a chilly wind blew. She wore a black coat and held a bouquet of daisies, her mother's favorite. Standing in the cold wind, she gazed at her mother's smiling face on the tombstone.Her mother passed away in a car accident. In Zoe's memories, her mother was gentle and affectionate, deeply in love with her father. In the evening, the sound of a car would resonate in the courtyard of Kirk Manor. Her mother would carry her downstairs to welcome her father. Her father would kiss her mother first and then hug her, asking, "Did you miss Daddy?""I did! I want to follow you to pick up Noah from school.""Okay! Let's pick up your brother together and not disturb your mom while she paints."…The young Zoe sat in the black RV, watching her mother from behind the rear window. Her mother stood in the courtyard, wearing a shawl, with a blooming wax plum tree beside her and a faint smile on her
She resisted, and he forcefully pinched her cheeks.It hurt, and a bruise formed after a while.In a moment, her stockings were taken off and thrown to the end of the bed.Mason pressed against her lips, murmuring like a lover, "I won't let you go. I never liked her. I have reasons I can't avoid. Be obedient, okay? We were so happy not long ago..."Zoe's black hair spread on the snowy white sheets.Her clothes were disheveled. She was vulnerable and helpless.She looked at Mason, her voice slightly trembling. "Mason, don't do this."His eyes darkened. "What do you mean?"Zoe's lips kept trembling. "We are still married. You don't want any scandals, right? Mason, don't push me. If you force me again, I can't guarantee that I won't do something irrational. "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, maybe a week later, news of the president of the Lockwood Group being betrayed by his wife will fill all the media in Brookesville. I believe people will be more concerned about whether yo
The maid came upstairs again, her voice subdued. "Sir, Ava has arrived."Mason held the diamond ring in his hand, quietly looking at it. Upon hearing this, he calmly said, "Ask her to wait for me downstairs."Ava sat in the grand hall on the first floor. When she came, she heard from the maid that Zoe had moved out, separating from Mason. She thought she would be happy about it, but surprisingly, she wasn't.When Mason came downstairs, he had changed into a different outfit. He looked weary as he descended, asking, "What's so urgent that you had to come to my home to discuss it?" After saying that, he sat at the dining table to eat.Eating alone was always a bit desolate. He didn't have much of an appetite.Feeling compelled, Ava carefully spoke up, "After the incident, Ms. Lilith has been asking to see you. However, you haven't answered her calls or visited her. She cut her arms again in the hospital, losing a lot of blood."Still scooping the soup, Mason responded casually, "
