Right after that, rare fury took over Mason's eyes under his glasses.Nancy pulled her red lips away from Mason, feeling extremely mad.The night breeze was a little cold, but it couldn't cool down their raging anger.However, by the time Nancy glared at the balcony opposite theirs, Austin, Ezra, and Aldus had already left.Nancy's red lips quivered, and embarrassment flooded over her.It shouldn't be like this!Why did it turn out like this?She had pictured countless scenes of Austin getting mad from embarrassment, but she didn't expect Austin to be so calm that he only spoke those words!Because of the disdain and disgust in his tone, she became the person who got mad from embarrassment instead!"Go downstairs first."Mason's voice was cold as he gazed at the balcony opposite theirs.Nancy was stunned for a moment, but she didn't object. Nodding, she obediently went downstairs.Austin's words just now were like a thorn in her heart. No matter how much she longed for thri
"What rule is it?" Austin asked."The descendants of the Campbell family must not harm their clan. If not, they will be driven out of the Campbell family and have their name removed from the family tree. Even if they are one of the heirs, they will lose that right as well."The punishment was quite heavy."Why didn't I know of this, Mr. Lockwood?" Aldus was shocked.Ezra glared sideways at him. "We are both household staff, so we don't have the right to know the family rules. If I hadn't followed the head back then and learned his ways, I wouldn't have the right to know!"It was a family rule that concerned the family members and even the candidature of the heir.Indeed, normal household staff wouldn't have the right to know these things.Austin frowned when he heard Ezra's words. He was confused.If this rule existed, then Mason would have a reason to provoke Austin by making use of Nancy.But he was confused because he had done the same thing before!"Mr. Lockwood, I broke
Ezra and Aldus felt bad when they heard the deep exasperation in Austin's voice.Origins were like icebergs on the ocean.They might look small and insignificant, but they had massive sides hidden under the surface of the sea."Yes, we indeed cannot harm him straightforwardly."Austin suddenly smiled.Ezra and Aldus were shocked by that.However, Austin returned to his room without an explanation."Mr. Lockwood, does that mean that he has a plan?" Aldus asked.Ezra had a smile on his lips as he nodded. Smiling, he said, "The more I look at him, the more I feel that he's quite similar to Mr. Walter back then."The night passed.When the morning sun graced the land with its presence once more, Mason's villa was filled with cold heartlessness instead.Mason tossed the clothes onto Nancy, who was still fast asleep. "Get lost."After what happened last night, the two weren't in the mood to continue. Even when Nancy wanted to share a bed with him, Mason declined.They had slept
"Hah!"Mason scoffed. Leaning in, he lowered his head and stared coldly at Nancy. "I just spent a few million dollars to play with you. To me, that money is like loose change. Money means nothing more than just numbers to me."With that, he kicked at Nancy's shoulder. "If this is love, what about this other woman I've spent tens of millions of dollars on? Is she going to end her own life in front of me?"Nancy was stunned.She slumped to the floor, her face filled with tears.He had spent a few million dollars just to toy with her?Was that all it was?Seeing that Mason was about to turn and leave, Nancy suddenly had a thought in her mind. She was like a dying person who found their last lifeline.Yes, death!If she threatened to die, she would be able to get Mason back!At that thought, Nancy turned around and rushed to the bed in a frenzy. Picking up the exquisite porcelain cup, she smashed it on the floor. Then, she grabbed a broken shard and held it against her throat."
Nancy dejectedly returned to the Welch residence.At that moment, she was like a peacock that had lost its feathers. Her dreams were shattered, and she was even worse off than when she had started.The door opened.Her parents' elated smiles greeted her, and she also spotted Harvey, who was all dressed up in his spotless suit and leather shoes."Come on, Nancy. Let's go and buy a car with Mason." Taking Nancy's hand, Harvey spoke in excitement.He hadn't slept a wink last night, for his mind was filled with Mason's words."Don't even consider any cars priced less than a million!"Harvey didn't even dare to dream of driving a car that cost millions. But then, when his future brother-in-law appeared, he finally had that chance.After tossing and turning all night, Harvey finally settled on a few models he wanted to check out.Every time he thought of driving a car that cost millions, his heart pounded in excitement.As for his Audi, he had decided to give it to his dad."By th
Derek frowned as he called out softly, "Did something happen, Nancy?"Before he finished speaking, Nancy suddenly let out a wail in the bathroom.Then, she started to sob in a heart-wrenching voice."It's all fake, everything is a lie! There won't be any luxury cars anymore! Mason was lying to me. He doesn't want me anymore."And so on.As Nancy wailed, she revealed the truth.On the other side of the door, Derek, Urma, and Harvey were shocked.How could that be?Weren't they doing just fine yesterday?How did things turn out like this overnight?"Nancy…" Harvey reacted right away. "Did you offend him? What should I do now that he's not going to buy me a car?"Urma instantly flew into a rage when she heard that.Harvey didn't sleep throughout the night, and neither did she.When she imagined the luxurious and extravagant life that awaited her, she was so overwhelmed that she couldn't suppress herself. She would look fabulous in front of her relatives and friends!Urma ban
In the afternoon, Austin was busy working in his office when Matt walked in."Austin, someone asked the security guards to relay a message. It's written on this slip."Taking the slip of paper, Austin opened it and read it. He immediately frowned.It was a very simple message."Let's meet at the café downstairs."What truly made Austin frown was the person who signed the message. It was Mason."Who is it, Austin?" When Matt saw the foul expression on Austin's face, he asked curiously.Tearing the paper into pieces, Austin tossed it into the trash can. "A nobody."With that, he got up and walked outside.Mason suddenly wanted to meet him. This couldn't have been a good thing.Mason must have some ulterior motives.However, Austin didn't intend to avoid Mason. They would have to fight each other eventually. It was a battle to the death.It happened to be lunchtime then, so the café downstairs was crowded.When Austin walked into the café, he immediately spotted Mason who was
Taking a deep breath, Austin suppressed the rage in his heart as he strode outside.Mason gazed at Austin, a confident smile finally appearing on his face as he mumbled softly, "I… thought that you'd never get angry."He snapped his fingers, calling a waitress to come over.Looking at the pretty waitress with a small frame, Mason pushed his glasses as he placed an orchid card on the tray the waitress was carrying.Then, he gestured for the waitress to come closer to him. He whispered in her ear, "Spend a night with me. I'll pay you a million dollars for that!"The waitress trembled, and her beautiful face instantly turned bright red.But she didn't say a thing as she looked at Mason fearfully."I can see that you're a virgin. If a million doesn't work, I'll give you two million." Mason leaned against his chair, his gaze filled with disdain. He was as arrogant as an emperor on the throne.The waitress's gaze flickered, and she clenched her fists tightly. She bit her lip."Three
