Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: How... Did You Die?
Aurelia Shaw looked up at Mason Nightshade.
Mason Nightshade said again, "Dressed like that and lying on my bed, how could I possibly resist? If you don’t leave quickly, do you really want me to pounce on you and take you right there? freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Every time I end up rushing back to the company to take a cold shower. I have no idea how many times I caught a cold this summer. Can’t you just be quiet for a bit? How am I supposed to handle this?
Not going back was also because of this, but at that time you kept asking Viscount Johnson to find out where I disappeared to. I didn’t go back because I was afraid you’d worry.
Do you think I’m asking for this myself?"
"Pft!" Aurelia Shaw couldn’t help but laugh, nodding in agreement, "It does seem a bit self-inflicted."
Mason Nightshade glared at her, "You have the nerve to laugh! If you want to know my schedule, just ask Gustavo Yates directly. Why get that kid Viscount Johnson to help?"
He wanted to deal with that kid at the time but was worried if he really did, he’d scare her. So he watched as a rival danced in front of him but was helpless.
Mentioning Gustavo Yates, Aurelia Shaw was taken aback.
She had too many questions she wanted to ask Mason Nightshade.
Looking at Mason Nightshade, Aurelia Shaw said, "Why did you go after Viscount before?"
Viscount Johnson was the only one who helped her during those dark days. But later, because of Mason Nightshade, Viscount Johnson had to leave Country Z. However, Aurelia Shaw knew, after everything she went through, Viscount Johnson wouldn’t leave easily. Mason Nightshade must have done something to him, and the Johnson Family also because of her...
Remembering those past events, Aurelia Shaw closed her eyes.
Mason Nightshade’s hand gently massaged her eyelids, the subtle motion seemed to comfort her, and he sighed, "I had no choice. The situation in Country Z was too chaotic. At the time, a crime organization was lurking in Q City. They seemed to be targeting the Johnson Family and Viscount Johnson.
Keeping him there would only pose a danger.
Would it be better to let him suffer a little, take the ’severance’ with the Johnson Family, and start over? Or let him die in Country Z?
Because I knew, if something really unfortunate happened to him, you would be the saddest one."
How could he bear to let her be sad?
"What happened in Q City?" Aurelia Shaw asked.
She knew nothing about these things.
Mason Nightshade propped up one leg, draping an arm behind Aurelia Shaw, a pose that seemed to wrap her in his embrace. Mason Nightshade’s voice was calm as he said, "The year you got addicted to drugs, a group of the Mafia suddenly poured into Q City. Grayson Quinn and I were constantly tracking these people. I found that they not only targeted the Johnson Family but also the Shaw Family and even the Nightshade Family."
Aurelia Shaw was clever and quickly picked up from Mason Nightshade’s words, "The bankruptcy of the Shaw Family has something to do with them?"
"You could say that, and we can’t forget your stepmother’s contribution," Mason Nightshade said. "I only found this out later. I don’t know how Clara Philips connected with the Mafia."
"Did Eleanor Spencer get involved in this?" Aurelia Shaw asked. freёwebnoѵel.com
Mason Nightshade didn’t speak, just looked at her.
Aurelia Shaw understood.
In matters like these, how could Eleanor Spencer not have a role?
Seeing her lips curl into a cold smile, Mason Nightshade habitually kneaded the soft flesh of her waist, smoothing it out as he said, "She had quite a role in this matter, but I taught her a lesson. Although it couldn’t bring you back to life, it was enough punishment for what she did."
Aurelia Shaw looked at Mason Nightshade again, her gaze complex and serene, watching him so intently that Mason Nightshade almost wanted to pounce on her. She suddenly asked, "What about you?
How... did you die?"
