Chapter 98
Ava dared not conceal the truth. She honestly informed Mason that Brittany had answered the call.
Mason''s gaze shifted toward Brittany Rogwood. She must have had some intentions toward Mason,
but his look made it clear that she had no chance.
She was a first-tier female celebrity, and very liberal with her charms. She casually flicked her hair
and chuckled, "Mrs. Zoe asked me to remind you that he still has a slight fever and should avoid
strenuous exercise."
Sure enough, Mason''s handsome face darkened.
Thinking the coboration was hopeless, Brittany was about to leave when Mason stopped her.
He did not personally negotiate. Instead, he instructed Ava to confirm the fee details before letting
her leave.
Brittany blinked in surprise.
Ava put on a business-like smile and began discussing coboration details. Of course, she had to
lower the price a bit because Mr. Mason was currently in a bad mood.
The next day, Lockwood Corporation announced that Brittany became the spokesperson for
Lockwood Corporation. A celebration party was held in Crocksten.
Rumors easily circted between business elites and female stars in the mingling crowd of fame
and fortune, especially when there were several scandalous photos.
At the party, Mason gently held Brittany''s slender waist. Not too excessive, but intimate enough.
Late at night, the two reappeared at the same hotel, with Brittany wearing a mask to exit through a
secure passage discreetly. Various signs indicated that the CEO of Lockwood Corporation had
found a new lover.
The overwhelming rumors naturally caught Zoe''s attention.
E called and scolded Mason before consoling Zoe not to take it to heart. E said, "Men are all
rotten. It''s not worth getting upset over a scumbag like Mason."
Zoe was ying the violin on the third floor at that moment.
The night''s melody was exceptionally mournful, but sheughed after hearing E''s words. "I''m not
upset. I''m just practicing the violin. E, don''t worry, I won''t bind myself in emotions for Mason
anymore."
E was slightly reassured and hung up the phone.
Zoe practiced the violin for another half-hour, showered, and went to bed. While applying her
skincare, she looked at the newspaper on the dressing table, seeing her husband embracing
another woman''s slender waist.
One could not deny that Brittany was very beautiful.
Presumably, she had been the one who answered the phone the previous night.
Zoe did not call Mason to confront him. She did not even make the routine courtesy call. She
thought Mason might be busy with a passionate night tonight, so there was no reason to bother him
and make him unhappy.
She also thought that it was fortunate that she did not love him anymore. Otherwise, seeing such
rumors would be really heartbreaking.
Mason caused a scandal, but Zoe had not taken any action yet. On the other hand, Carly and Lilith
could not sit still.
Lilith, watching the morous female celebrity, cried out, "Mom! Mason has a mistress!"
Carly could not hold back her anger and unexpectedly brought Lilith to the mansion.
When the servant informed her of their arrival, Zoe had just gotten up and was freshening herself
up.
She looked at the servant in the mirror and asked softly, "Is it really Ms. Lilith and her mother?"
The servant was indignant, "Indeed, Mrs. Zoe. Last night, there was a misunderstanding from Mr.
Mason. You haven''t even said anything but they, mother and daughter, rushed to the door in a
panic. It''s as if she assumes herself to be the real Mrs. Lockwood."
Zoe wiped her face with a towel.
After a while, she said softly, "Let them wait in the small living room for a while."
The servant was surprised. "Mrs. Zoe, are you really going to see them?"

Zoe smiled slightly with a touch of self-mockery. "What else can I do? She is Mr. Mason''s
sweetheart! If she is upset, and Mr. Mason isn''t around, I still have tofort her on his behalf."
The servant went to carry out the instructions, and Zoe carefully chose another outfit.
