"Come with me." Grayson Quinn grabbed Aurelia Shaw's wrist, giving her no chance to resist, and pulled her out of the car.

"Hey, who are you?" Although Amanda Fuller was trembling with fear, she still mustered the courage to ask. She wanted to get out, but her legs were shaking so hard she couldn't move.

Grayson ignored her, his face cold and stony, as he shoved Aurelia into the car, a cold smile playing on his lips, "You know why I'm looking for you, don't you?"

Aurelia paused in her attempt to get out of the car, turned her eyes to Amanda Fuller, and gave her a reassuring look, "I know him, don't worry."

Vroom——

The car sped away into the night.

Aurelia watched the scenery on either side swiftly fall behind. She reached over to fasten her seatbelt.

Grayson noticed and let out a scornful laugh, "You sure know how to cherish your life."

"I've always cherished my life," Aurelia said softly.

No one knew what in that sentence enraged Grayson, but he pressed the accelerator hard. The car splashed through rain puddles left on the road from last night. He steered with one hand, a teasing smile on his lips, as the car weaved rapidly through traffic like a wild beast out of control.

Aurelia's fingers involuntarily gripped the seatbelt. She glared at Grayson in anger, "Grayson, what are you crazy about?"

"I'm crazy?" He sneered, "I think you're the crazy one! Aurelia, you're impressive. How did I not see before how heartless you are? You want to mess up, fine, I'll mess up with you. Mason can't bear to touch you, so I'll do it!"

The mention of Mason Nightshade made Aurelia's heart skip a beat, her fingers clenching slightly, "How is Mason doing?"

"How?" Grayson laughed bitterly, his sarcasm strong, showing no other expression, "He didn't sleep all night; he's now busy trying to salvage the situation at the company."

"You planned this, didn't you? Knowing Mason was out on a mission last night, you chose last night to make your move against the company."

"Collude with DK Corporation, let Nightshade Corporation use a large sum to acquire a shell company, and now Vance, that bastard, ran off with the money. That piece of land in the east of the city, Nightshade was halfway through construction, and last night it got reported for heavy pollution, prohibiting residential building, and it was found to have jerry-built, now under investigation."

"Nightshade's food and hotel industries were reported one after another last night, a flood of scandals about Nightshade food and hotel hygiene blew up online..."

"One incident after another, all aimed at stabbing Nightshade dead, huh! Well done, your methods are impressive! Do you really wish to throw Mason into jail too?"

"No." Aurelia's voice was faint, "Those reports aren't true, they'll just be under investigation for a while, leaving Mason no time to address those scandals. The incidents exploding online are enough to deal a huge blow to Nightshade."

Grayson was so angry his teeth were chattering, "Do you really care about Mason! Even if you don't like him, at worst get a divorce, does it have to come to playing someone to death? You know how much effort and energy Mason put into reviving Nightshade over these years."

"You used a single night to play away all his years of hard work."

"Do you think you could easily stab Mason in the back for no reason? Because Mason never guarded against you at all, he'd guard against me, against Junia Simpson, even possibly against any close person by his side, but he'd never guard against you, Aurelia, how could you do this to him?"
