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.

    Mason adjusted the suit he was wearing and stepped into the party with a calm stride.This was a gathering attended by prominent business figures. Many people had come, engaging in conversations about their work and business ventures.Several eyes turned toward Mason. Even though not everyone recognized him, no one spoke ill of him.At that moment, two men were deep in conversation. A man in a red suit glanced at the person in front of him. “Have you heard the news about the family that has partnered with the Gilbert family?”The other man nodded. “Yes, I heard about it.”“That’s a great opportunity. Not just anyone can work with the Gilberts.” He paused, taking a sip from his glass. “Whoever collaborates with the Gilbert family is bound to gain significant benefits.”“You’re absolutely right. Anyone who partners with the Gilberts will find great fortune. Unfortunately, I wasn’t lucky enough to secure a deal with them,” the man in the red suit scoffed in frustration.He had hoped for

    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

    Daniel pressed his head with his hands, confusion clouding his thoughts. "How could he know about that?"He tried to recall everything, but there was no way Brian could have found out. "I never said anything to anyone, and I definitely didn't tell him," Daniel muttered, pressing his temples harder. "It's a secret… a pact within the Gilbert family."Mason looked at Daniel calmly. "He's already told everyone." Then, emphasizing his point, he added, "Which means you need to handle this immediately. This is a problem."Mason paused briefly, straightening his suit before speaking again. "Trust is something invaluable."Hearing this, Daniel nodded, realizing that Mason was right.At this moment, Daniel was completely lost on what to do. But as Mason had said—he had to take control of the situation, or the Gilbert family would never trust him again.He had been working with the Gilbert family, shouldering immense responsibility. He couldn't afford to let Brian ruin everything.His gaze locke

    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.

    Grandfather Daniel and Adam both turned to look at Darwin. The old man was utterly shocked.Adam swallowed hard. Knowing that Darwin was a powerful ruler, he had to be extremely careful with his behavior.Without hesitation, Adam bowed deeply, offering a respectful greeting to Darwin. Of course, he was showing a completely different side of himself in Darwin’s presence.Once they faced each other again, Adam quickly spoke, “Master Darwin, this is just a misunderstanding.”His sharp gaze darted toward Daniel. “This man has caused trouble, and I will immediately have him removed from here,” he said with emphasis, clearly hoping that Daniel would take the hint and leave.Meanwhile, Brian smirked in triumph. He was pleased to have his grandfather’s support and felt far superior to Daniel. In his mind, he was the one truly deserving of the major business contract.Silently, Mason observed the scene, his demeanor calm. He made no move to intervene.Darwin, too, remained composed, but his ga

    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

    An old man in a black suit, Jerry, smiled as he looked at Mason. He rose from his seat, standing up and walking toward Mason.His facial expression changed, contrasting starkly with before. This time, he only showed a friendly demeanor. Yet, deep inside, he was thinking about something else entirely.Once the man stood face-to-face with Mason, he immediately gestured for him to sit. "Sir, please have a seat," he said politely.Quietly, he observed Mason from up close. "Tell me, how are you? Do you need something that has brought you here?""We will certainly provide you with any assistance you require." Once again, Jerry put on a friendly face.Meanwhile, Mason gazed at him with a blank expression. Even though he was being treated with kindness, vastly different from before, he remained vigilant. His sharp eyes swept across everyone in front of him. "I need to discuss an important matter and a job with you all."Seeing Mason still standing in place, Jerry gave him a pat on the shoulde

    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

    Mason eventually took a walk outside, enjoying the night breeze and seeking solace beneath the dark sky.He halted his steps when he noticed a small child sitting nearby.Frowning, Mason approached the child. “Why are you out here at this hour?”The child looked melancholic, sitting on the ground with his arms wrapped tightly around his knees.He lifted his head to glance at Mason before nodding slightly and speaking in a quiet voice, “I just got scolded by my parents. That’s why I’m here.” After saying that, the child lowered his head again.“You should go inside and leave this place. The night can be frightening,” Mason deliberately said this to urge the child to return home.However, just as Mason finished speaking, a ball was suddenly thrown at him, grazing his back slightly.Upon feeling the impact, Mason swiftly turned around, his sharp gaze locking onto the person who had thrown the ball.His expression turned cold and piercing—he did not take kindly to such treatment.The chil

    Mason sat calmly in his room, enjoying a cigarette on the balcony, taking slow drags. His gaze was fixed on the vast sky before him.The morning was bright and clear, yet Mason's thoughts were elsewhere. The peaceful atmosphere did little to ease his mind.At that moment, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed. Mason flicked away his still-long cigarette butt, shifting his attention to Rudolf, who had just arrived.Rudolf bowed respectfully before Mason, his demeanor formal and courteous. “Good morning, Master. I’ve brought you coffee.”Mason nodded, allowing Rudolf to place the cup before him. He took a slow sip, savoring the taste.Meanwhile, Rudolf stood before his master, his expression tinged with worry—something Mason immediately noticed.Raising an eyebrow, Mason looked at Rudolf and asked, “What is it?”Rudolf let out a slow breath. “Master, there has been a lot of unpleasant talk spreading among the people.”Mason set down his cup, handing it back to Rudolf, who promptly p

    In the end, they finally arrived at the auto repair shop. Justin glanced back and forth between his car and Mason.Truthfully, Justin never wanted this to happen. “Isn't this too much, Mason? You really didn’t have to do this.”“The damage isn’t that serious. It’s really not a big deal.” Justin tried to convince Mason. Even bringing the car to the repair shop—Justin was sure Mason would have to spend a lot of money, and he didn’t want that to happen.Mason looked at him and shook his head. “It’s not a problem at all.”Mason knew he had to take responsibility. He was the one who had told Justin to crash into Sania’s car, so he believed it was only right for him to handle this matter.Justin let out a deep sigh. Even now, he was still thinking about everything that had happened. He still couldn’t believe it.Justin felt restless. He looked at Mason. “Mason, how could you act like that toward that woman?”He swallowed hard, completely stunned that Mason had been able to do all that. “Mas

    MSania was in complete shock. Her chest pounded violently, and her hands trembled as she looked at her phone.She turned her gaze to Mason, observing him intently. This time, disbelief filled her expression as she stared at him. “You’re… not poor?” she asked in a shaky voice.Before this, she had been certain that neither Mason nor Justin had anything. It was obvious from their appearance and how Justin had previously begged her.“I never said I was poor,” Mason emphasized firmly.Sania was left speechless. Her eyes darted between Mason and Samuel, struggling to process the situation.Deep inside, she knew that things were about to take a turn for the worse. She had just received the compensation money, and now, that meant she would soon be facing the police.Mason’s earlier words echoed in her mind—his demand for her to be imprisoned for ten years. Fear gripped her, making her body tremble uncontrollably.She couldn’t even begin to imagine how she would survive ten years in prison.

    Sania was utterly shocked because she never expected the police there to recognize Mason. She glanced slightly at Mason, wondering how a poor man like him could be treated with such respect by the police. It was evident from the way the officer was exceptionally polite when dealing with Mason.What was even more surprising was that the officer not only acted with great respect but also shook hands with Mason."Do they really know each other?" Sania muttered under her breath.However, she quickly redirected the officer’s attention. "Sir, what about my report? Shouldn't they be punished immediately?""I want you to arrest them," Sania said swiftly. She didn't want to waste any more of her time. Dealing with Mason and Justin only made her anger rise further.The police officer, Samuel, turned his gaze back to Sania. He remained silent for a moment before shifting his attention to Mason again. "Mr. Mason, what happened?"Sania frowned. She was on the verge of shouting at the officer. How

    Justin immediately grabbed Mason’s hand tightly, his frustration barely contained. “Do you not realize we’re in a seriously dangerous situation?”He pressed his fingers against his throbbing temple. If Mason had just let him apologize to Sania, things wouldn’t have escalated like this. But instead, Mason had made things worse by challenging her to call the police.Justin shook his head in disbelief. He couldn’t understand how Mason thought. “If that woman really calls the police, we’re definitely going to jail.”Justin was certain that if the authorities got involved, they’d have to spend a fortune to get out of this mess. And he simply didn’t have that kind of money.Yet Mason remained eerily calm. “You don’t have to worry. Nothing bad will happen to us.” His voice was firm, as if he truly believed his words.But Justin wasn’t convinced. He ran a rough hand down his face, frustration bubbling inside him. He couldn’t wrap his head around Mason’s reasoning. Maybe, just maybe, Mason’s m

    Seeing Mason approach and hearing his words, Sania could no longer contain her anger.Her emotions flared even more as she strode toward him. "What do you mean by saying that? You're truly an insolent man!" she snapped.In her mind, what Justin had done was the proper way to act. They were poor, and poor people should submit to the rich—especially when they made a mistake."He was only showing the respect he should. How dare you say such a thing?" Sania turned toward Justin, believing that Mason should be acting the same way.She then shifted her gaze back to Mason. "You both need to take responsibility for what you've done.""Look at my car!" She pointed toward the damaged vehicle. "You must compensate me for this!"Crossing her arms, she studied them. She knew they were nothing but poor men. There was no way she would let them beg for mercy. Before they could even try, she spoke again."I don’t care how—you will pay me back no matter what."Mason met her glare with an icy stare. "Yo

    Justin was utterly shocked by what he had just done. He could hardly believe it—he had actually stepped on the gas and crashed into the luxury car in front of him.He knew just how expensive that car was. As the woman had pointed out earlier, his truck was nothing compared to Sania’s vehicle.The front of the luxury car was slightly damaged. Justin felt his nerves tightening—he had no idea what to do. He was completely speechless.Holding his head in his hands, he muttered, “I shouldn’t have done that.”“Oh God, what have I done?” he groaned, regret washing over him. He truly regretted his actions.Justin knew that paying for the damage to that car would be a huge burden for him.His gaze shifted to Mason. The contrast between them was striking—while Justin was visibly panicked, Mason looked completely unfazed. His expression remained calm, even as the damage to the black car was clear.“Mason, we’re in trouble,” Justin said, his heart pounding. From the corner of his eye, he could se

    It was clear that Justin’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he gazed at his car.He kept running his hand over the vehicle with pride. To him, owning a car was a huge achievement. At that moment, his gaze shifted back to Mason. He wasn’t sure if Mason had a car or not, but all he wanted was to share his happiness with him.A silver car stood parked in front of them. It was a transport vehicle, likely used for work. Mason could tell that Justin had bought it for practical purposes.“I’m really happy that I was able to buy this car. Isn’t it amazing?” Justin looked at Mason with joy. He had saved up for months to afford it.Mason understood. He knew that Justin had always lived a modest life. To someone like him, even an ordinary car felt like a luxury.Justin had no idea that Mason could easily buy thousands of cars like this. But Mason didn’t want to ruin his friend’s happiness by saying anything insensitive.Instead, Mason nodded. “Yes, this is incredible. You did a great job buying
