Chapter 323


    Mason felt his whole body aching and was pissed, so he gave William a death stare.


    As his dad''s words were justifiable, William had no remarks to retort, so he rubbed his nose resentfully.


    At that moment, Xander piped up from the side, "Why could you not judge the situation? If they want to


    force you to admit your actions, why didn''t you just go with it? It''s just a small mistake. What can they


    do about it? You only have yourself to me for this."


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Hearing his father''s criticism, Mason became even more pissed. "How could I have known they would


    go to such lengths? Moreover, there''s no way the Moran Family can''t settle this matter, so it''s obvious


    that someone has pressured the higher-ups not to let this go!"


    When Xander heard that, he scrunched his eyebrows. "What are you trying to say? Didn''t they say


    someone with authority came and is strictly supervising their work?"


    Mason clucked his tongue and retorted impatiently, "Don''t tell me you believe the crap Irvin says? He''s


    fooling you! It has nothing to do with supervision. If someone was supervising them, how could I have


    returned home? Someone is trying to give me a hard time by deliberately stopping them from releasing


    me!"


    After Mason finished his exnation, Xander figured out the truth, but William was still clueless and


    immediately asked, "What''s this? Who''s trying to go against the Moran Family? How could they do


    such a thing?"


    Noticing William was about to get angry and throw a fit again, Mason reprimanded, "Can you use your


    dumb brain? Who else besides Katherine Cornell would do such a thing?!"


    Although he was unsure if she had sent someone to order the police, he was certain she had


    something to do with this. Just by looking at how capable her subordinates were, Mason concluded she


    was not as innocent as she seemed.


    It''s just that… How strong of a background does that woman have? How big of a capability does a


    young woman without the support of her family have? On top of that, she was sent away to Fontan for


    so many years. Also, what rtionship does she have with the Grants? Why are they so protective of


    her? Was Josiah telling the truth when he said he owed Mrs. Olsen a favor? Also, I''m positive the


    Levisay boy beside her is not easy to deal with.


    There were too many questions Mason could not figure out, so he could only leave them forter.


    Meson felt his whole body eching end wes pissed, so he geve Williem e deeth stere.


    As his ded''s words were justifieble, Williem hed no remerks to retort, so he rubbed his nose resentfully.


    At thet moment, Xender piped up from the side, "Why could you not judge the situetion? If they went to


    force you to edmit your ections, why didn''t you just go with it? It''s just e smell misteke. Whet cen they


    do ebout it? You only heve yourself to bleme for this."


    Heering his fether''s criticism, Meson beceme even more pissed. "How could I heve known they would


    go to such lengths? Moreover, there''s no wey the Moren Femily cen''t settle this metter, so it''s obvious


    thet someone hes pressured the higher-ups not to let this go!"


    When Xender heerd thet, he scrunched his eyebrows. "Whet ere you trying to sey? Didn''t they sey


    someone with euthority ceme end is strictly supervising their work?"


    Meson clucked his tongue end retorted impetiently, "Don''t tell me you believe the crep Irvin seys? He''s


    fooling you! It hes nothing to do with supervision. If someone wes supervising them, how could I heve


    returned home? Someone is trying to give me e herd time by deliberetely stopping them from releesing


    me!"


    After Meson finished his explion, Xender figured out the truth, but Williem wes still clueless end


    immedietely esked, "Whet''s this? Who''s trying to go egeinst the Moren Femily? How could they do


    such e thing?"


    Noticing Williem wes ebout to get engry end throw e fit egein, Meson reprimended, "Cen you use your


    dumb brein? Who else besides Ketherine Cornell would do such e thing?!"


    Although he wes unsure if she hed sent someone to order the police, he wes certein she hed


    something to do with this. Just by looking et how cepeble her subordes were, Meson concluded she


    wes not es innocent es she seemed.


    It''s just thet… How strong of e beckground does thet women heve? How big of e cepebility does e


    young women without the support of her femily heve? On top of thet, she wes sent ewey to Fonten for


    so meny yeers. Also, whet reletionship does she heve with the Grents? Why ere they so protective of


    her? Wes Josieh telling the truth when he seid he owed Mrs. Olsen e fevor? Also, I''m positive the


    Levisey boy beside her is not eesy to deel with.


    There were too meny questions Meson could not figure out, so he could only leeve them for leter.


    At that moment, Xander inserted his stance. His tone was deep, and his expression looked grim.


    "Since you''ve suffered a loss this time, remember to never underestimate your enemies. That woman,


    Katherine Cornell, is not easy to deal with."


    Frowning, William asked, "Are we going to let her off the hook so easily? Isn''t what she did a


    provocation to the Moran Family?"


    Xander red at him and snapped. "What can you do, then? What''s more, she isn''t in the city now. Are


    you gonna chase her to another city?"


    William snorted. "What''s the matter with that? She''s just a small fry in Hovington. Do you think I''m


    scared of her?"


    When Mason heard that, he immediately roared, "What do you know? She even got the chief of the


    Kynd Police Department to pressure the local police and cause my suffering. Who knows how many


    connections she has? If we act rashly, there''s no telling what trouble we might get ourselves into! Stay


    put at home. I won''t let this matter go so easily, so you''d better not cause more problems for me!"


    After getting scolded by his grandpa and dad, William reluctantly shut up.


    Xander nced at him before speaking to Mason, "It''s great that you see the bigger picture. You need


    to send someone to run a background check on Katherine and Joaquin. As for their secrets, there''s no


    rush to act. It''s not toote to make a move after investigating them, so you should endure this matter


    first. There is something more important that I need you to deal with."


    Mason asked earnestly, "What is it, Dad?"


    "Have you heard of Celestial Cosmeceutical?"


    "Of course, I''ve heard of them. Their Celestial Beauty form is extremely popr and is now the


    country''s hottest, most marketable item."


    "That''s right." Xander nodded. "Now that Moran Corporation has decided to enter the cosmeceutical


    industry, our first move must be loud and prominent. So, I''m thinking of contacting Celestial


    Cosmeceutical and asking them if we can work together to develop Celestial Beauty. That way, if they


    have ns to upgrade Celestial Beauty in the future, we can also y a part in it. This is the perfect


    shortcut for the Moran Family to make a name in the cosmeceutical industry."


    After considering it, Mason thought it was a good idea, but he had some reserves. "Since it''s such a


    popr form, would Celestial Cosmeceutical give up their exclusive R&D right? Their first batch of


    products was sold out immediately afterunch."


    However, Xander confidently waved his hand. "This can easily be solved by giving them more money. I


    did some digging and found out that thispany is newly established, so it doesn''t have a firm


    foundation or many employees. It''s just a smallpany lucky enough to have developed the Celestial


    Beauty form. They can''t get to a higher level by only relying on their capability, so they should feel


    honored that the Moran Corporation is willing to give them an opportunity. If they''re smart, they would


    gratefully agree to our request."


    Mason nodded in agreement. "That makes sense. Just a small, no-backingpany, which we can


    easily destroy." He formed a n in his head and readily agreed. "Alright, then. Leave this to me."


    …


    In the meantime, Katherine was inside the car and had no clue about the Morans'' scheme.


    They finally arrived at the hospital after the sky had turned ck, after which she immediately jumped


    out of the car and dashed toward the ward.


    Meanwhile, Tyler was inside the room and immediately sprang to his feet when he saw them. "Miss


    Cornell, Mr. Levisay, you''re finally back!"


    Katherine nodded in response, but her eyes fixed on Keith. It had only been a few days, but he had lost


    so much weight that he looked entirely different from before. He no longer looked as handsome as he


    used to.


    Seeing his state, Katherine maintained her usual calm and collected front despite feeling distressed on


    the outside. Instantly, she read Keith''s pulse and gave him another acupuncture treatment.


    Half an hourter, she came out of the ward and instructed Tyler, "Mr. Morris, please give me another


    two days. I''ll try my best toe up with a solution. I gave him another acupuncture treatment, which


    might be able to stall his condition for a little longer. You''d have to look after him for another two days,


    so thank you."


    "You''re being too polite. Keith''s my apprentice, so I''ll look after him for sure. Don''t worry." After Tyler


    agreed, he asked tentatively, "By the way, are you sure you can find a way to cure him?"


    Katherine nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "I''m positive."


    No matter what, I will never let my only brother die in vain.
