Author: Light Breeze
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

    Mason asked Mia to look after Yanni and descended to the deep ravine again to search for Zoe. Days passed and he had barely gotten any shut-eye.Aside from the search and rescue team sent by the city, he spent a huge amount of money and formed a private search party that was comprised of more than eight hundred people. He was going to save Zoe at all costs.The most crucial first twenty-four hours had come and gone.Then, three days passed. Now, it had been seven days since Zoe had fallen off the cliff, but there were no signs of her. It was as if she had vanished off the face of the Earth. At the same time, Lila was nowhere to be seen. The experts weighed in on this, remarking that they might’ve dropped into the deep end of the river in the ravine. Since it was located very near to the coast, then maybe…No one had the heart to finish the rest of the sentence. Everyone could tell that the youngest and richest businessman in Brookesville was on the verge of falling apart. He

However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright.

    In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism.

    That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brother’s face and marvel: "It’s really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husband’s looks are the wife’s glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, “She must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

    On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesn’t mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesn’t know when to keep quiet, but luckily, she’s married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didn’t want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

    Ignacio said, "We can’t take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders family’s sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didn’t refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

    In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zion’s car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, “Zion came to school. There’s a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!”Gwen playfully replied, “You really know how to enjoy life.”The leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, “See? Your teacher’s wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.”Gwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her “Ms. Gwen.”Gwen corrected them, “It’s Ms. Gwen.”The students laughed and teased, “Ms. Gwen! Mr. Z

    Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didn’t cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didn’t care, but he couldn’t bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they

    Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didn’t even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.“When will you be back?”On the other end, Zion checked the time and said, “I’ll be

    Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, “This is my secondary card. There’s no credit limit.” Gwen gasped softly, then teased, “Wow, aren’t you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.” Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, “Thank you, my sugar daddy.” Zion’s response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. “Turns out you’ve got a thing for bad boy
