"Brother Night." Eleanor's tears fell with a "pat-pat," her shoulders trembling, looking so pitiful.

Even Gustavo Yates couldn't help but glance twice.

But Mason Nightshade maintained his icy demeanor, not even sparing her a look, his brows furrowed, eyes showing impatience.

"What did you say to Aurelia?"

"What Aurelia?" Eleanor sobbed, "What happened to Sister Aurelia?"

"Eleanor, stop pretending. What exactly did you say to Aurelia?" Mason's hatred instantly cooled, his hawk-like sharp eyes seemingly piercing the soul.

"Brother Night, I don't know what you're talking about." Eleanor's inner anxiety was masked by her pitiful blinking, eyes welling up, tears about to fall.

Mason coldly lifted the corners of his lips, "You'd better confess while I still have patience. You, above anyone, know the consequences of angering me."

Eleanor shivered, her gaze anxiously flicking to Nancy Carter, choking out, "I really don't know, Brother Night, what do you want me to say? What did Sister Aurelia tell you?"

Those things mustn't let Mason know.

Mason is so perceptive; if he found out about those things, he would know everything was orchestrated by her from behind the scenes, and her fate then...

Eleanor didn't dare to imagine.

"I did it!"

At this moment, a female voice suddenly rang out.

Nancy stepped out, lifted her chin, clenched her fists, and looked at Mason, "It was all me; Eleanor knew nothing, I did it without telling her."

Mason's gaze darkened, his profound pupils like a vortex capable of pulling people in, "What did you do to her?"

"I used Eleanor's WeChat to chat with her, sent her some photos of you two, telling her..." Nancy paused, under Mason's piercing gaze, cold sweat beading on her palms, "telling her that the one you truly love is Eleanor, telling her to back off."

"Bang—!"

Usually, Mason wouldn't hit women, but this time he made an exception, kicking Nancy out, grabbing her collar, pressing her to the ground, his bloodshot eyes chillingly murderous.

"How dare you say these things to her!" He yanked her up, tossed her out, an easy motion that nearly snapped one of Nancy's ribs.

Mason turned and strode out.

Gustavo Yates quickly followed, but by the time he reached the hotel entrance, he saw Mason driving away beyond his vision.

"..." Gustavo Yates was in tears, "Boss, at least wait for me, it's the middle of the night, where am I going to catch a cab?"

Buzz buzz—

The phone vibrated.

Gustavo Yates looked at the caller ID and answered, "Hello, Officer Qi."

"I can't make it, the boss left me on the street."

"The address? The address is..."

Mason sped all the way back to Nightshade Residence.

It was already late at night, the lights inside were off, except for a dim small lamp in the living room, as Mother Rong heard noises, she came out from inside.

"Young Master." Sigh, the Young Master is busy every night and comes home so late.

"Where's Aurelia?"

It seemed to become Mason's habit to ask about her first every time he returned.

Mother Rong glanced upstairs, "After visiting her family this afternoon, the Young Madam stayed in her room, and I just checked upstairs, she's already asleep."

Mason frowned, "Visited her family? Did she come back unhappy or angry?"
