Mason immediately called someone. After not waiting long, the call was immediately connected. "Is there anything I can do, Master?

"Stop Selena's promotion."

Of course, this confused Rudolf, who received the call. "Master, why are you saying that? Didn't you say to prepare everything well?"

Rudolf frowned, then thought that maybe his master didn't like what he had prepared before this.

"Do you want to give me something better?" Rudolf tried to guess because he knew his master greatly loved his wife. 

"No, I will divorce." Mason's answer shocked his servant. I will also withdraw all shares and cooperate with the Wilmer family."

Mason had feelings for Selena and hoped their marriage would work out, but it turned out that she was nothing more than a demon.

The look in Mason's eyes turned cold when he remembered Selena. "Lower the position to the lowest."

Without refusal, Rudolf nodded in understanding. "Yes, Master. I will do so."

The phone connection ended. Soon, Selena would be coming home from work. Mason prepared to greet his wife.

"Grandma, look who just slacked off." An annoying little voice. It was Axelo. He looked at Mason sarcastically.

"Hurry up and prepare dinner. My daughter will be home soon." Eva commanded tersely.

"I don't want to do it." Mason looked at his mother-in-law coldly.

"Do it yourself." Mason walked away.

This took Eva by surprise. "What?" Eva's eyes widened. "Why him? Is he crazy? How dare he act like that." Eva chuckled as she girded her loins.

"Grandmother, he's being disrespectful and defying Grandmother." Axelo heated up his grandmother's bad mood.

"Insolent. I can't allow it." He went after Mason. "Hey, you're shameless."

They stepped quickly, blocking Mason's steps, making the man finally stop. This time, he was completely fed up with everything they were doing.

"Heh, I already fed you here." Eva pointed her index finger in Mason's face. "How dare you talk to me like that."

Mason looked at the woman before him coldly. "Yeah."

Eva was silent as they locked eyes. She had never seen Mason stare at her like that, and she felt that Mason's gaze this time was very frightening.

Her body was transfixed to let Mason pass by unnoticed. "What's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly become bold like this?" She gulped her saliva.

"Ah, damn it!" The door to the house suddenly opened very loudly. Selena's voice was heard, looking annoyed. "It's completely unpredictable. How did it come to this?"

Selena, who was upset, immediately threw her bag on the sofa, which made Eva worried. Eva immediately approached her daughter.

"What's wrong, Selena?" Eva stroked her daughter's arm and brought her to sit on the sofa.

"Mom, I'm not getting promoted." Selena rubbed her face roughly. "They said that I should work as an office girl."

"What?" Eva rounded her eyes. "That's not possible." She was confused by what was happening. "Hey, weren't you about to be promoted to manager because of your skills? Why all of a sudden?

"I don't know!" Selena shouted in frustration, grabbing her own hair. "It's possible that I'll be fired soon."

Selena bit the tips of her fingernails, looking both panicked and upset. She didn't know why they were suddenly acting this way when they had previously praised her excellent performance.

"Did you do something wrong?" Eva frowned. It was probably something the company was considering.

"Not at all." Selena shook her head. "They just suddenly cancelled my promotion and demoted me."

Selena squeezed her hands in annoyance, and then her gaze shifted to Mason, who stood not far from them and looked at her coldly.

"Why are you looking at me like that, huh?" Selena got up, picked up the bag and threw it at Mason. "It's all bad luck because of you!"

Mason was used to getting such harsh treatment from his wife. Selena had always treated him like this, never respecting him and considering him a husband.

Mason smiled a little. His calm facial expression surprised the people there.

"Why are you acting like that, huh? Are you crazy?" Selena was getting more and more annoyed with him. She pointed at Mason while clucking in annoyance. "You're the one who has brought bad luck into my life. You should be gone, damn it."

Mason was still calm, approaching them with a document in his hand. "I want a divorce." He handed the document to Selena. "These are the divorce papers."

Of course, that left them all in shock at what Mason had said. Suddenly, the man even filed a request for divorce, which made Selena's anger grow.

"You think I don't want a divorce from you?" Selena grabbed the document from Mason's hand roughly. "It's not you divorcing me. It's me." She signed the divorce papers and threw them in Mason's face. "Now, get the hell out of here! You son of a bitch."

He entered his room and soon emerged with a suitcase, as he had prepared everything, leaving Eva and Selena confused. 

Eva headed towards Mason's bag. "Wait a minute! He might have stolen it here. Get the bag."

Some of the servants there immediately rushed to take Mason's bag, but the intention quickly brushed it off, especially Selena's hand, which suddenly made Selena. 

"You will suffer." Mason's words made Selena even more shocked.

"What? That won't be possible because you're the one who will suffer. You have no home and will be living on the streets." Selena folded her arms over her chest in a proud and boastful manner. 

"Open that bag of yours. Let us check it first. You must have stolen here." Axelo spread both hands to block Mason's path.

He was even about to kick Mason's leg, but Mason quickly swatted away his foot, causing Axelo to fall and instantly panic the people there. 

"God, what are you doing to my grandson, damn it!" Eva immediately went over to Axelo and woke the little boy up. "Are you okay, dear?

"Grandma, my leg hurts so much," Axelo whined and acted spoiled in front of his grandmother. "That damn man has caused me this much pain, and I'm hurt."

"Damn it." Eva looked at Mason, but he was already walking away. "Hey, come back here, damn it. You have to take responsibility!"

Selena stared at Mason's retreating back in annoyance and slammed her bag down again. "Damn it. Just watch, you'll suffer."

Mason had already stepped out of the Wilmer family home. Just as he was in front of the gate, a luxurious black car pulled up.

Rudolf got out of the car, bowing respectfully. "Welcome back, Master."

Slowly, the road took him back to where he was before."What about the one I asked for?"Rudolf smiled, looking at the glass above his head. "He will come tomorrow."Mason nodded slowly. "Good."He had already completely decided to leave everything about the Wilmer family behind. But despite his grudge against them, the fact remained that he still cared for Rowan. He sent one of his servants to the man's caretaker because he knew the Wilmer family did not care about his situation.

    "Send these to the address I told you."The sales girl in front of Mason nodded her head. "Yes, sir. Anything else you need, sir?"Mason nodded slowly, looking at the few clothes in front of him. But right at that moment, the shop door opened violently."There he is!" Bella pointed at Mason, making Mason turn his head.Selena and Yohan looked surprised to see Mason inside the luxurious clothing store."Wow, this loser is now shopping for very expensive clothes."Selena noticed the surroundings. The man was in an expensive store and even seemed to be choosing clothes. So pretentious.She didn't like the man shopping for branded items that should have been his. Even she had to think first before buying clothes in this shop."You have no money." Yohan frowned, looking at Mason sarcastically. "Vabylan's shop cannot be visited by random people.""Yes, it's obvious that the money he spent was money from my father's inheritance," Selena emphasised her words.Selena thought twenty percent of

Yohan arched his back slightly as his arm was nudged by Selena.Seeing this, Selena's family was worried and immediately approached them in a panic. "What happened?"Why is Yohan like this?" Eva's eyes travelled over Yohan's face and body, which didn't seem right.They gathered in the living room, seemingly showing concern for Yohan. Just seeing Yohan struggling to sit up made them worried."It's all because of that damn man. Bastard!" Yohan grumbled with a pause that made everyone there look at each other. "That guy? Who?" Eva and the others did not understand what Yohan was talking about.They were curious about what happened to Yohan. Especially to find out how the shares that fell into Mason's hands would go."This is all because of Mason." Selena squeezed the cold compress in her hand."Mason?" Eva frowned, sitting next to Selena with a curious look on her face. "What has

    With a snort coming out of his mouth, he spoke harshly. "Are you mocking me? Just quickly say what you want to order. Don't make me upset."He might have misheard because he was so tired,"You heard what I said." Mason looked at him so confidently. "I'll have a drink for insomnia."The cashier was silent as Mason said it again. He felt confident that what he said was true."Then ...." Instantly, his eyes widened as he realised something.There was a secret in this cafe. Not everyone knew the menu Mason had just said."Sir, sir, please forgive me." The cashier immediately lowered his head, raising his hands before his chest. "I apologise for my rude words earlier. I really didn't realise it."The man panicked. His hands were shaking and cold as icicles. He was afraid he would get into big trouble. "Come, let me show you." The cashier stepped out from the counter with a nervous and trembling voice. "This way, sir." The cashier raised his hand, pointing Mason towards the right side. "Y

    "Wow, this is really amazing." Selena's eyes lit up at the sight before her.The Hillsbrough Town Building was the most luxurious in Lovia. Not a few big people rented the building to hold parties there because, apart from its strategic location, the security was also very good. The building's architecture combines classic design with modern design. It is very beautiful and charming.Selena, Eva and Yohan got out of the car. Their faces looked happy to be at the luxurious party held by the Galinton family."The Galinton family is very rich, and our relationship is very close because we cooperate well."

    "Mr. Mason?" A 50-year-old middle-aged man, smiling kindly, walked straight up to Mason. "It's great to see you here. I didn't expect to see you.""Mr. Andrew." Mason frowned, looking at the man who approached him.When Mason woke up from his death a few days later, he met a middle-aged man who was one of Rowan's acquaintances. He had something to tell him.Exactly two days before the day of his death, while being poisoned, Andrew had a problem. The man was cheated out of hundreds of millions by his business partner. That's why Mason immediately went to him on purpose.Mason emphasized to Andrew, "You must not sign any cooperation contract. "Andrew listened with confusion. "Why?"They want to cheat you."Mason's face was without hesitation, which made Andrew nod immediately and consider it an important warning."You also shouldn't buy antique urns from the 16th century because they are fakes."Andrew really listened to Mason's words, and sure enough, what Mason said happened.Andrew

    Mason ignored Andrew completely. His gaze remained fixed on the beautiful woman clad in an elegant gown.With every step she took, she seemed to mesmerize the men around her. Her beauty was a constant topic of conversation. Everyone knew that she was not only stunning but also intelligent. Every man desired to win her favor.She came to a halt, picked up a drink, and took a slow sip. Her demeanor exuded class and sophistication.Mason noticed that she was different. He deliberately stopped walking and observed her from a distance, wanting to take in everything she did. Her movements intrigued him. Yes, she is that woman.At that moment, three men had also set their eyes on Georgia. Without hesitation, they quickly approached her, surrounding her with peculiar smiles."Hello, Miss Georgia," one of them greeted her.

This time, his grip on her loosened.Mark glared at her in fury. “Damn it!”He was consumed by rage—all because of Mason’s interference. By now, he should have already had Georgia, the arrogant woman, right where he wanted her. He should have been enjoying himself, indulging in her beautiful body. But all his plans had been ruined.How the hell had Mason even gotten here?

    The two police officers were still very doubtful of Mason, but they wanted to hear what Mason had to say.They both stood in front of Mason, blocking his way as he tried to leave. "Say what you need to say.""We want to hear it." Henry crossed his arms, giving a very serious look.Mason gave a faint grin, looking at the two officers casually. "Just leave everything regarding the pedophile case to me.""I'll find him quickly." Mason said it with full confidence. "I only need half a day to uncover everything."It wasn't something difficult for Mason to do. He could rely on himself, or even Rudolf, who had experience. That person would be found easily.However, after hearing Mason's seemingly casual statement, both officers became even more distrustful of him. They thought that Mason was underestimating such a serious matter and believed he was just playing around.The officer stared at Mason coldly. He slightly grinned. "Do you think this case will be easy to uncover?"They knew that pe

    Mason had already prepared himself, knowing that the two officers were about to attack him. His eyes quickly darted to a stone beneath him. With swift movement, Mason silently picked it up.Just as one of the officers aimed his gun at him, Mason threw the stone with a quick motion.The movement was so fast that the officer didn’t even see it coming or have time to dodge. The stone hit the officer’s hand squarely, causing him to drop the gun."Ahhh..." the man screamed, feeling pain in his wrist. The stone had successfully injured his hand and caused intense pain.The officer immediately held his aching hand, realizing a little blood was starting to seep from the wound. This only fueled his anger even more. "Damn. How dare he do this!"His partner couldn’t accept the situation easily. He pointed at Mason and shouted, "What have you done?""You’ve just attacked a police officer. You’re truly disrespectful," the officer cursed at Mason.Meanwhile, the injured officer ignored the pain in

    Unconsciously, Mason had fallen asleep in the park. When he just woke up, Mason saw two police officers standing in front of him with cold expressions. The two officers seemed to want to intimidate him.Mason slowly got up. He looked at the two officers calmly.One of the officers played with the baton in his hand, his gaze scrutinizing Mason's appearance. He raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a cold voice, “Why are you here?”“You should know that you can’t just sleep anywhere in the park,” the other officer emphasized.“Are you homeless?” After scanning Mason, the officer quickly corrected his statement. Mason didn’t look like a homeless person. His clothes were neat, and his hair was not messy. However, the officer continued his investigation. “Did you just take drugs?”They stared at him coldly, waiting for Mason's response.Mason shook his head slowly. “No. I just wanted to spend some time here,” he said calmly.At this moment, he realized that the two officers were very sus

    Mason sat quietly, enjoying his meal. He brought the food to his mouth and chewed slowly.At that moment, Rudolf stood beside him, deep in thought over Mason’s earlier words.The man lowered his head slightly before speaking. “Master, were you serious about the great disaster that will strike the city of Bruges?” Rudolf looked at Mason intently.He had investigated the matter ever since receiving the information from his master. Now, he needed confirmation.Mason swallowed his food, nodded, and took a slow sip of his drink. “Yes. Just as I told you before.”His expression shifted after Rudolf brought up the subject. Even his appetite diminished slightly.Rudolf remained silent for a moment, but his gaze never left his master. “Master, I haven’t found any news about that.”He swallowed hard. “According to the data I’ve studied, nothing is going to happen,” he said in a quiet voice.“Master, all the information I gathered indicates that everything is fine.

    They were utterly shocked by Mason’s words. However, they refused to believe him, dismissing his claim as complete nonsense. To them, Mason was simply pretending to be the head of the Gilbert family to intimidate them and instill fear.But that would never happen. In fact, they were growing increasingly frustrated with everything Mason was saying.“That’s impossible!” Jerry rejected the notion outright. Even though he knew the Gilbert family was highly secretive, the idea of Mason being their leader was absurd.In their eyes, Mason was nothing more than a young man sent as an envoy of the Gilbert family.They were convinced that he was merely carrying out an assigned task. And they had to admit—Mason had succeeded.That was when they realized just how dangerous their situation had become. This could turn into a complete disaster for them.Jerry and Damian exchanged glances, silently communicating. A single nod from Damian was enough for Jerry to understand. They had to escape before t

    Hearing Mason’s words left the two men utterly shocked. They had no idea how Mason could dare to insult them so openly.Of course, such words only fueled their anger.“How dare you say something like that to us?!”“You better watch your mouth!” Jerry warned sharply, pointing his index finger at Mason.Aside from being a new member, Mason was much younger than them. His words were downright disrespectful.Yet, Mason remained seated calmly, his gaze shifting between them.“You two are complete fools.”His voice carried an unmistakable sharpness.“Do you truly not understand why I am here?” Mason emphasized his words.Jerry and Damian exchanged glances. As they had assumed before, they were certain Mason was there for the same reason as them—driven by greed, willing to betray the Gilbert family for power.However, the way Mason looked at them now—so different from before—left them confused.“Why… Why are you talking like that?”“You’re here for the same reason as us, aren’t you?

    Jerry sat calmly, savoring the wine in his hand. He leaned back and took a slow sip, relishing the rich taste. A smile spread across his wrinkled face. “This is truly exquisite.”His gaze swept over his companions seated before him. “The plan we’ve put in place—I’m certain it will succeed, and no one will ever know.”“This has been progressing smoothly. We’re going to reap a great fortune.” His laughter was met with the hearty chuckles of the others, who shared his confidence.One of his companions nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I’m sure this will work. And we’ll be profiting from not just one, but two of the most powerful families.”Several days later, beneath thousands of stars in the dark night sky, they enjoyed the sea breeze as it brushed against their faces.After leaning against the ship’s railing for a moment, Jerry made his way toward the table where his companions were seated.The table was lavishly set with a variety of fine dishes and drinks. Tonight, they were indulg

    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

    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
