Chapter 36


    Zoe trembled in his arms, sinking into the unpleasant memories of the past three years. She began


    to disassociate from her body.


    Just as Mason was about to im her, his phone kept ringing. Annoyed, he grabbed the phone and


    nced at it. It was Ava calling.

    After some consideration, Mason answered the call in an unpleasant tone. "What''s so important that


    you''re calling sote?"


    On the other end, Ava sounded anxious. She said, "Mr. Mason, Lilith is here in Brookesville."


    Mason frowned slightly.


    After ncing at Zoe, he got up and walked outside to take the call. Even though Zoe heard only a


    fragment of Ava''s words, she understood.


    Lilith was back in Brookesville.


    Mason had finally allowed his lover to step into their home. This was a great humiliation for Zoe,


    who was only Mrs. Lockwood by name.


    After a few minutes, Mason returned with a slightly tense expression.


    Returning to Brookesville with much ceremony, Lilith had been surrounded by reporters at the


    airport.


    Unfortunately, she fell and broke her leg again. Lilith''s parents announced that the Wright family had


    ties with the Sanders Group.


    This was undoubtedly a huge scandal.


    Mason had to deal with it in person and, incidentally, handle Lilith.


    While he was getting dressed, he looked at Zoe, who was lying weakly on the bed. He said


    nonchntly, "I have some urgent matters to attend to. You go ahead and rest. I''ll send you back in


    the morning."


    Zoe turned her back to him, not saying a word.


    As Mason grabbed his coat, he nced at her again.


    Then, he hastily left. After a moment, the sound of a car starting echoed in the yard. Zoe knew he


    would not being back tonight.


    She could not help but recall the past. Every time Mason went to Hucksburgh to visit Lilith, she felt


    ufortable, even losing sleep throughout the night.


    Now, Zoe found that she no longer cared. She did not care about his indifference, bad behavior, or


    anything he did to her. Not loving Mason actually made things much easier.


    …


    The sky began to light up.


    In the VIP ward of Samphia Hospital, Lilith, dressed in a blue and white hospital smock, leaned


    against the bedside. She looked at Mason with eyes full of admiration.


    Mason leaned back on the couch, checking his phone. He was waiting to see if Zoe would send him


    a message. After waiting for a while without a response, he put his phone away.


    Mason had not spoken yet when Ava walked in.


    She went to Mason''s side and whispered, "The media coverage is all set, Mr. Mason. Don''t worry.


    Nothing inappropriate will leak out!"


    Just as he was about to speak, Lilith cautiously said, "I''m sorry, Mr. Mason. My dad thought we were


    dating... He thought we would get married. That''s why he said that."


    Mason had not spoken yet when Ava, unable to hold back, retorted, "Ms. Lilith, you seem to have


    forgotten. Mr. Mason is already married. From where did you gather the idea that he''s dating you,


    let alone marrying you?"


    Normally, Ava treated Lilith well. She enjoyed using Lilith to provoke Zoe.


    However, when Lilith provocatively tested Mason, Ava could not tolerate it. She could not stand


    such a low-ss woman trying to get involved with Mason.


    Agitated, she received a stern look from Mason.


    Remembering his warningst time, Ava pursed her lips and stepped back.


    Lilith, skilled at reading people''s eyes, trembled her lips and appeared tearful.


    "Ava, you misunderstood me. I never thought of dating Mr. Mason. I know Mr. Mason is married. He


    has been nice to me... It was only because I identally awakened him. Really, I just want to cure


    my leg, and I want to learn from Ms. Aurora.


    "I don''t dare ask for more. Ava, you won''t stop me, right?"


    Ava was almost enraged. Now, she finally realized Lilith''s cunning nature. Her innocent words had


    underlying jabs.


    She looked at Mason, wanting to know his opinion.


    Mason was not in a good mood and had a displeased expression. The Wright family had caused


    such a big mess, so naturally, he would not be feeling particrly generous.


    He looked at Lilith''s seemingly innocent face, his tone indifferent.


    "Until these two matters are resolved, tell your parents to watch their mouths. They need to know


    what to say and what not to say. Understand?"
