In a different place, Mason was at home. He had just stepped out of his room and sat down at the dining table.Rudolf, his butler, served the meal with great care. "Please, Master."Mason quietly enjoyed his meal, eating with a calm demeanor. But just as he was savoring his food, his phone suddenly rang.Seeing that the call was from a servant he had stationed in the Wilmer household, Mason immediately picked up. "Speak.""Master, I wanted to inform you that Lord Rowan is now able to sit up and speak, though his words are still a bit slurred." The servant's voice was quiet but clear.Hearing this, Mason's hand stilled. He tightened his grip around the spoon in his hand. This news brought him great relief. Even though he no longer lived in the Wilmer household, Mason still held deep respect for Rowan.A small smile appeared on his face. However, it quickly faded as a thought crossed his mind."Tell me, are they still poisoning Lord Rowan?" Mason raised an eyebrow.The servant on the ot

Daniel agreed with Mason’s words—it was the best advice. He nodded in response."Alright. I’ll focus on my project. I really hope I can meet Mr. Gilbert."Mason nodded. "That’s good."Unbeknownst to them, a man with cold eyes had been silently listening to their conversation. His expression showed clear displeasure at seeing Daniel and Mason talking to each other. To him, Mason was nothing more than a stranger.The man stepped forward and approached Daniel, casting a sharp glance at Mason."Stop talking to random people. It’s not that important."From his gaze and tone, it was obvious—he didn’t like Mason. He dismissed him as someone spouting nonsense.The man, named Brian, turned his attention to Daniel."The only thing you need to do is act quickly, convince Mr. Gilbert, and highlight what you’ve achieved. That will be much more effective."Brian let out a breath."Mr. Gilbert only values hard work." His words were firm, his eyes once again flicking toward Mason, as if emphasizing t

Mason crossed one leg over the other, holding a glass of wine without taking his eyes off the two men still throwing punches at each other. He leaned back in his chair, utterly relaxed.He took a slow sip of his wine, savoring the sight of their heated argument. He was curious to see just how far this fight would go."You can't do this. You're completely insane," Daniel pointed a finger at Brian's face.Brian, unable to contain his fury, grabbed Daniel again and threw another punch at his cheek. But this time, Daniel was quick to react, blocking the attack before countering with a punch of his own.The onlookers watched the brawl in shock. It was surprising—these two were family, yet they weren’t just arguing; they were outright fighting."How could they do this?""This will ruin their family's reputation.""They're completely bizarre.""What are they even thinking? They shouldn’t be humiliating themselves like this."Mason's gaze shifted to a group of men murmuring among themselves.

After a while, the atmosphere gradually calmed down. At this moment, everyone started moving on, ignoring the previous commotion, and went back to enjoying the party.Daniel stared at Darwin, his gaze serious. He still couldn’t believe that Darwin had shown up and even defended him.It was truly extraordinary, especially considering that Darwin himself was an exceptional man. Not once did he hear any explanations or justifications from his grandfather for Brian’s actions.“Sir, thank you for trusting me,” Daniel spoke in a low voice, full of respect.Darwin gave a slight nod. His expression carried an overwhelming intensity that would make anyone who looked at him feel uneasy. “I came here because I received a call from a member of the Gilbert family.”“And Mr. Gilbert has learned everything. That is why I am here—to remove someone who should have been cast out long ago,” he said, emphasizing his words.Daniel was taken aback by what Darwin had just said. He was momentarily speechless

Mason's gaze remained fixed on the old man before him. The man's expression was serious, having just attempted to corner Mason.Yet, Mason remained completely calm. Even though four men were judging him in this place, it had no effect on him whatsoever. They didn’t even realize that, at this moment, they were facing the true head of the Gilbert family."If you’re truly brave, then you should confront Lord Gilbert directly," Mason emphasized, directing his words at Jerry. He knew that Jerry was all talk, spouting grand statements without any real proof.Mason was well aware that the man was merely trying to pressure him and take advantage of his presence."You can only offer threats. That’s the same as declaring war against the Gilbert family." Mason's expression remained impassive, but every word he spoke carried undeniable weight.He understood that these four men held significant power, enough to make many fear them. However, it seemed they had forgotten that their authority was not
