Chapter 1060 Mad
With that, she slowly reached out and gripped the trigger. With just a slight squeeze, a bullet could be
fired from the dark muzzle of the gun.
Mason was so frightened that his whole body was shaking uncontrobly, his teeth chattering non-stop.
With a trembling voice, he said, “I-I''ll t-talk, Ms. Jefferson... No! I meant to say Mrs. Luther. Mrs. Luther,
I''ll tell you everything. Just please put the gun down first.”
Bailey looked at him coldly, slightly lifting her chin to show him a warning look.
Mason didn''t dare to push his luck any further, his eyes unblinkingly fixed on Bailey, terrified that she
might identally pull the trigger.
“That night, I was also drunk, oblivious to what had transpired. All I knew was when I woke up, Rainie
was in my room, lying in my arms. She was covered in marks, there was blood on the quilt, and my
umm... Well, there was... So, they concluded that we were together,” Mason said.
His words were somewhat vague, but Bailey naturally understood his meaning as an adult.
With all the evidence present, it was no wonder everyone, including Mason and Rainie, believed that
something had happened between them.
“Do you not know whether or not you touched a woman that day?” she questioned.
Mason lowered his head, continuously running his hands through his hair.
That night, he had drunk too much, and his memory was hazy. He vaguely remembered being with a
woman. When he woke up and found Rainie in his arms, he instinctively assumed it was her.
“I do. Even though I was drunk, I still had some awareness. I think I must have encountered a woman
that day,” he answered.
Bailey''s pupils slightly contracted. If that was the case, then Rainie was not being schemed against, not
being wronged. Yet, I always felt there was something fishy about this. It just didn''t seem right. It really
didn''t. How could Rainie possibly be with any other man when she loves Sylvester so much? If it were
me, even if I were drunk as a skunk, I wouldn''t let any man other than Artemis have any contact with
me. The instincts of humans can sometimes be truly peculiar, beyond the realm of verbal exnation,
and only personally experienced.
“M-Mrs. Luther, everything I''ve told you is the truth. But please don''t misunderstand. I''ve never
intentionally approached Rainie. Even though I covet her too, after all, she is an Oscar-winning actress
with a sweet appearance, the goddess of countless men. It''s only natural to harbor feelings for her.
However, I can swear that I''ve never harbored any inappropriate thoughts toward her. After that night,
when such rumors started circting, not only did I not feel the slightest bit of joy, but I was also filled
with fear and dread, because I was worried that Sylvester would kill me,” Mason uttered.
Bailey slowly backed away, leaning against the wall in a somewhat dejected manner. After tucking
away her pistol, she gently rubbed her brows with her fingers. What am I supposed to do next? If
Rainie was with Mason that night, then her rtionship with Sylvester would be dead. But on the other
hand, if that night was indeed orchestrated by someone, they would surely make everything seamless
and wless. The details that Mason mentioned earlier are not surprising. A plot, after all, must be
made convincing, so that outsiders will believe it without a doubt, including the parties involved
themselves.
“What happened when you went to Lunar Bar in the morning?” she asked.
Mason looked at her somewhat timidly, afraid that she might settle ounts with him again, so he
didn''t dare to speak up.
“Speak!” Bailey''s patience had run out, and she snapped at him.
Mason didn''t dare to dy any longer and quickly said, “Some of my branchpanies were in
trouble. I wanted to ask Sylvester for help, so I went to find him early in the morning. Turns out, after
entering the penthouse suite at Lunar Bar, I saw him and Karina inside. I suspect the two of them must
have spent the night together.”

Bailey knitted her brows, a sh of anger flickering in her eyes. Sylvester... That jerk! What a beast!
“Why did you bring Rainie along when you went to find Sylvester?” she questioned.
Mason''s eyes were somewhat evasive when he stammered, “Well... I... She...”
Without giving him a chance to trick her, Bailey once again pulled out her gun.
Seeing her cold expression and murderous intent in her eyes, Mason didn''t dare to beat around the
bush anymore. He quickly said, “It was Karina. She called me, asking me to take Rainie to Lunar Bar. I
didn''t know what she was up to. She didn''t tell me. So, I came up with an excuse, saying that I wanted
to ask Sylvester for help. That was how I got her to go there with me.”
Bailey''s eyes shed, and she lifted her foot, ready to kick him. The bodyguard by her side quickly
stepped forward to stop her.
“Miss, please be careful. You can''t be reckless.”
Bailey regained her senses and nced at the emergency room door. If everything that happenedst
night at Lunar Bar was meticulously orchestrated by Karina, then there''s likely more to the story from
that night over a month ago. I can''t make decisions based on what I see. Some things must be
investigated. I must help Rainie get justice.
Aftering to those realizations, she strode to the door, pushed open the entrance to the emergency
room, and dashed inside.
Meanwhile, inside Lunar Bar''s penthouse suite, Sylvester was leisurely sipping his drink,fortably
seated on the couch, while two attendants were busy cleaning the room.
One of them, while the people inside were not paying attention, fumbled under the bed and slipped a
small object into his pocket.
He was the one Karina bribed the night before. He nted a recorder in the suite, nning to lie low for
a while after obtaining the goods. Once the dust settled, he intended to use the recording to threaten
Karina.
Crack!
The doorknob turned, the bathroom door swung open, and Karina walked out from inside.
Before she could speak, Sylvester ordered the bodyguard standing quietly outside, “Escort Ms. Smith
back to the mansion.”
Karina was taken aback. She had hoped to have breakfast with him, but he was sending her away as
soon as she got up. What''s the matter with him?
However, she was a wise woman, aware that pushing too hard would often lead to the opposite of the
desired result. If I try too hard, it might backfire.
“All right. I''m heading back first. Remember to have breakfast. I''ll prepare dinner tonight. You must
“Okay.”
No sooner had Karina left than Justin barged in. “I heard you were involved with a womanst night.
How was it—”
Before he could finish speaking, a tall ss came flying toward him.
Justin quickly dodged and couldn''t help but curse, “What the f*ck? Have you gone mad?”
Sylvester red at him, his voice filled with bitterness. “Where were youst night? You just let me
make a fool of myself. Now, my life is ruined.”
Justin furrowed his brows, a hint of guilt shing in his eyes. If I had stayed with this guyst night, he
wouldn''t have done such a ridiculous thing, obliterating thest bit of hope left between him and Rainie.
Well, I screwed him over. There''s no arguing with that.
“Last night, my mothermitted suicide by slitting her wrist. My father called me when I went to the
restroom. I had no choice but to leave you behind and go off on my own,” Justin responded.
Sylvester looked at him expressionlessly and sneered, “We deserve to be single for the rest of our
lives. Now that I think about it, I really feel like a jerk.”
Justin wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but he held back when he saw how bad Sylvester''s
mood was.
“Did you really have sex with Ms. Smith?”
