Zoe couldn’t resist admiring the view longer.All of a sudden, Mason leaned over and stared at her quietly. His eyes were so deep that she couldn’t fathom what was on his mind.She couldn’t help but feel that something stirred her heart.Then, he chuckled lightly, as if he saw through her thoughts. At the same time, Westley would much rather he didn’t see this private moment at all!The air was sizzling with romance.Then, they heard a car pulling into the yard. A moment later, Layla led Lisa into the manor. Lisa looked very pissed. She had probably come because of the trouble with Dewetta.However, she was quite surprised that Zoe was here.She was so stunned by her presence that she couldn't speak for a good while. “You’re here too, Zoe!”Zoe smiled faintly in response. To this day, she still couldn’t find it in her heart to forgive Lisa. Rising, she said to Mason, “I’m going to get changed and go home!”Mason needed to deal with his dad’s case. So, he asked Luke to send her
Lisa wasn’t going to let him go that easily. Instead, her words became harsher and harsher. It got so bad that Westley lost control of himself and barked, “So many years have come and gone, but you haven't changed in the least! You’re still so mean and nasty!”Lisa was about to retort when she heard footsteps from the door. It was the sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble floor, crisp and pleasant.It was Mason.Both of them shut their mouths and didn’t say another word.Walking in slowly, Mason stared at them quietly. After a brief moment, he asked, “Why did you guys stop? You were fighting with each other quite fiercely. Go on. Arguing activates your brain cells, which, in turn, helps stave off dementia!”Then, he climbed upstairs to get changed.Both Westley and Lisa blamed each other for that. She sneered, “You must’ve been sick in the head to sleep with someone like Dewetta.”He retorted, agitated, “She’s behind bars now, Lisa! Go ahead and look into it if you d
Westley sat there for a long time, frozen.The manager saw how much of a weasel he was and got enraged. Yanking his arm, he smirked, “Looks like you’re not willing to pack up and leave! Do you think you own Lockwood Corporation? Or, perhaps you fancy thinking that Mr. Mason is your own son? Listen to me carefully. Your ass is fired!”Westley was a refined and cultured man. He had never been treated in this horrible way. He said gently, “Mason is indeed my son!”That stunned the manager at first.Then, he pointed a finger at Westley and mocked him loudly, “Have you got a screw loose? How could you say Mr. Mason is your son? I’ll do you one better. I’m Mr. Mason’s son!” Everyone in the office was chortling at that. They made fun of Westley and said there was something wrong with him.That was when they heard crisp footsteps at the door. At the next moment, they saw Ava and a couple of managers from the human resource department. The managers were wearing inscrutable expressions.
Mason pinched his little girl’s cheeks and couldn’t help but give her a big hug. She felt very plushy, too. He was very grateful that the universe gave him a chance to redeem himself and be with his family again. Yanni sensed his feelings and patted his head gently, which made him kiss her again.He had two kids, but Yanni was very special to him! Not only was she his first child, but he had also done so much wrong by her. If he hadn’t sent Zoe to the rehabilitation center, then Yanni wouldn’t have had the condition. She didn’t have to suffer that much. That was why, aside from love, he also felt guilt.Zoe was standing at the side and watching them, her eyes filled with tears. On their way back home, there were plenty of times when she wanted to ask him about it. However, she bit her tongue and didn’t say anything.By the time she came back to her senses, he had already parked his car at his manor’s underground parking garage. She didn’t even think too much about it. She asked
Mason tried calling her, but her line was occupied for the longest time.What he saw in his mind was happening right before his eyes!He rushed back into the manor to take another set of car keys and got into another car. Just as he pulled out of the manor, the black Bentley that Zoe drove was nowhere to be seen.His face was twitching so much that he thought he was having a spasm.Then, he made a call to Yanni’s kindergarten and asked one of her teachers to check on her. Five minutes later, the teacher was panicking hard. She was so scared that she was about to burst into tears. “Yanni’s gone, Mr. Mason! We can’t find her. S-She was just napping a minute ago!”His phone almost slipped out of his hand. He was almost certain that Lila kidnapped his little girl. He suspected his aunt last time. So, she created an alibi for herself and made him think that she was in Edo City. The truth was, she was in Edo City. It was just that there was more than one ‘Lila’ in the world and th
Lila sneered, “Do you really think I love Westley?“No. I can’t stand it when you were so deeply in love with him, Lisa. I wanted to ruin your marriage and I pulled it off! As expected, Westley finally left you and little Mason behind once I created enough havoc by misleading him on a few things. “I had a chance to get close to him, but he was so dense. I could do anything to seduce him and he wouldn’t even lay a finger on me! I’ve followed him around, tending to his everyday needs like a servant for the past few years, but he wouldn’t even bat an eye at me, much less sleep with me.“It didn’t matter, though. After all, no one could take your horrible temper!“Your son, however, has been having a wonderful life with Zoe. They looked so happy together that it made me jealous. There’s no way I’m going to let them off the hook. They need to suffer!“Do you want to know something, Lisa? I’ve killed a lot of men. At first, they loved their wives more than anything, but they became dis
Lila had goosebumps. Then, she started recounting her own tale.“I, too, used to be naive and kind-hearted!“After I got married to Cliff, we adopted a little girl. She was beautiful and candid. I gave her all of my love, but I didn’t count on one thing. She went ahead and grew up to become an exquisite lady years later. The only thing was, she climbed onto my marital bed and had sex with my husband!“My damned husband had an affair with his own freaking adoptive daughter!“Do you want to know something, Lisa? She was just eighteen years old while he was forty. I saw with my own eyes how he thrust into her so vigorously.“They had crazy sex on my marital bed while they talked dirty to each other.“Cliff told our stepdaughter that he loved her more than anyone else!”…Lila broke into laughter. She laughed so hard that tears came out. “He told her that he loved her most! Well, then. What does that make me? Am I the worn-out, crumpled servant? “I can’t even imagine when they st
Zoe’s consciousness was slipping away. Her visions also started to become blurred.She could hear Yanni crying next to her, screaming for her to get up.'I can’t die!' Zoe thought to herself. She needed to take care of Yanni as well as Jamie. Most important of all, she needed to live her life with Mason!They had just patched things up today. They couldn’t even wait to make love because they loved each other so much. A bright future awaited them. He told her that they’d have a brand new year. He promised!Oh. How she wished she could live to see it come true.How she wished she could witness their children’s growth with him. It’d be lovely if they could be with each other until they were both wrinkled with old age.They had finally reconciled. They were finally able to love each other.How was this fair?!Be that as it may, Lila injected the drug into her. Now, she was also losing too much blood. It was highly unlikely she could make it out alive.She loved the world. She lo
