2025-01-22 21:28:26Mason got into the car. Rudolf immediately drove it away from the Cityline residential area. 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. He knew Rowan was a good man, so he did the same for her.
Let's just say he has been repaying Rowan for her kindness all these years.
"Please, Master." Rudolf immediately opened the car door for his master.
They had arrived at the Gilbert family residence. Mason got out of the car and used his long-hidden last name again.
"Welcome back, Master." The servants bowed respectfully, welcoming Mason warmly.
Rudolf had prepared a small gift to welcome their master back.
"We have prepared all your favourite dishes, Master."
Rudolf knew that his master had been eating poorly because he was too busy caring for Wilmer's family affairs and had not even eaten his favourite delicacies for a long time. So Rudolf prepared all this for Mason.
Mason sat on a chair. Several servants poured food and drinks, giving him the best service, contrary to what he got at the Wilmer family home.
Mason went back to enjoying his old life in peace. Meanwhile, at the Wilmer's house, chaos began.
"This is not good." Selena threw her bag on the sofa, leaving everyone confused by her arrival. "How's this?"
Selena looked anxious, biting her lower lip in annoyance. She had just met with a lawyer from her father, accompanied by Yohan, but the news she got was too bad to share with her family.
"What happened? How did it go?" Eva was curious and immediately greeted Selena, who had just entered the house. "Everything's fine, right?"
Now, they were all gathered in the living room to find out what Selena would say after meeting with Rowan's lawyer. But the sombre look on Selena's face confused everyone.
Selena looked at everyone before her, then exhaled before starting the conversation.
"That damn man got 20% of father's shares."
"What? 20 percent?" Eva, who had been sitting casually, stood up tensely. "That's huge."
Selena ran her fingers through her hair, visibly upset after getting the news from Rowan's lawyer about the division of the inheritance they would get in case Rowan passed away.
However, they found out something shocking. It had been a week since Mason's departure from the Wilmer household, and now the lawyer was telling them this.
"Not to mention, WM Group is in trouble." Selena exhaled roughly, bowing her head sadly.
"What's wrong with our company?" Eva sat back down but was not at all calm.
"The biggest investor in our company... unilaterally terminated the cooperation contract." Selena covered her face, holding back tears. "Now our company is in dire straits."
Eva, who heard the news, felt a sudden emptiness pierce her. The company owned by the Wilmer family before was fine and growing rapidly, but she didn't understand why it suddenly became like this.
"Since I don't work for a multinational anymore, I will take over the company." Selena raised her face, looking at Yohan. "With my lover."
Eva just nodded slowly with a blank look in her eyes. "Then, what about the 20 percent share that went to that damn guy?"
"We can't let him." Selena wrung her hands, staring at her mother and sister. "He must have gotten that 20%."
"Now she must be having a lot of fun with that money, Selena." The small woman next to Selena didn't look happy about the news. She was Emily.
Emily had not liked her sister's marriage to Mason from the start, especially since her arrival in this house. Almost every day, there was no peace for her. Axelo always complained, but it was also quite fun for her when her son managed to tease Mason.
"Scum like him don't deserve that, and 20% is a lot." Emily snorted in annoyance while squeezing his hand tightly. "Isn't that our right?
"We should have just killed him yesterday so that we could get that 20%." Eva chuckled in annoyance, and now she was thinking of eliminating Mason.
Selena couldn't stay silent about this. "We must find Mason immediately and ask him to return what he stole."
"Yes, do it quickly." Eva was very upset and slammed the sofa cushions on the floor, blaming her husband. "That handicapped man, at the end of his life, is still giving us trouble."
"But where should we look for him?" Selena's question made everyone else pause and think the same thing.
All this time, they only knew that Mason was a poor man who didn't have anything or even a home and could only live with Wilmer's family. So when the man left this house, they already didn't care where he would go, and now they were confused about where to look for him.
"Oh, take it easy. I'll give you a hand." Yohan acted like a hero in the middle of this mess. "I have people who can look for that man."
"I trust you." Selena smiled happily, wrapped her arms around her lover's arm and hoped that her ex-husband would be found soon.
Meanwhile elsewhere, Mason was walking around driving his own car. Finally, he stopped in front of a mall. He got out of the car, taking off his sunglasses.
Mason entered a clothing store. It had been a long time since he bought clothes because all his time was consumed by the busy life at the Wilmer family home.
"Welcome." The shop assistant invited Mason to enter.
Mason chose and intended to buy some nice clothes there—clothes that he hadn't worn in a long time. All this time, only simple clothes continued to cling to his body.
"Please, sir. These clothes seem to suit you," the salesgirl said, pointing at the navy shirt in the branded display case.
"Huh, isn't that Selena's husband?" A woman frowned, looking at Mason from a distance. "What is he doing here?"
The woman named Bella rounded her eyes as Mason walked into the Vabylan store, the most luxurious store in the clothing store centre. Suddenly, it made her wonder.
"He went inside a luxury store? It can't be for shopping, right?" Bella folded her arms in front of her chest, stepping slowly, approaching the store.
The sight in front of her confused Bella, as Mason seemed to be picking out some expensive clothes.
"Selena should know about this." She scrolled through her phone, contacting her best friend. "Hello, Selena."

"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 walked into the house with Selena's help. He was in excruciating pain all over his body."Ah, slowly." 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." Yohan did not boast in front of his lover and future mother-in-law. "Wow, you really are a great guy, Yohan." Eva stroked his arm, full of pride. "It's not wrong that Selena chose you.""Yes, he did."

"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. He was wearing a black suit, his blond hair neatly styled.Georgia glanced at him briefly before choosing to focus on the drink in her hand.It seemed the man was unfazed by

Seeing Mark’s anger toward Mason, Georgia seized the opportunity. She immediately shoved Mark away. 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? Mark had specifically announced that the restroom was out of order to ensure no one would interrupt his scheme.Mark jabbed a finger at Mason’s face. “I’m giving you a chance to walk away right now, and I won’t make a big deal out of this.” He stepped closer, lowering his voice. “Leave us alone. I have unfinished business with this woman.”“I’m not going anywhere,” Mason replied firmly.Mark’s frustration grew. “So, you’re really asking for trouble, huh?”“You ignored my warning,” Mark sneered. “Watch what happens next

That expression turned even colder. She stared at Mason. “Did you mistake me for someone else?” Georgia shook her head and smiled slightly. “I think you’ve misunderstood.”Mason gave a meaningful smile, his gaze never leaving the woman. “I know exactly who you are,” he said with unwavering certainty.Of course, he hadn’t mistaken her identity.Mason exhaled. “A renowned hacker. And one who hides her identity extremely well.” His tone was casual.This was quite shocking for Georgia. She looked at Mason seriously, scrutinizing him. She was sure this was their first encounter. So how could this stranger possibly know her?It was strange. All this time, she had successfully concealed her identity. No one around her had ever discovered who she really was or even suspected anything.Mason smiled again, but his eyes remained ice-cold. “There’s no use hiding your identity. Because I have proof of who you are.”Georgia could feel the immense pressure from Mason’s words and gaze. This time, it

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.

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.

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
