Chapter 81 Mason did not immediately let her go. He pressed her against the wardrobe door, his large palm slipping into her robe, teasing her lightly, “What could be more important for you to do than me?” Zoe, of course, was familiar with such tricks from a man like him. She slightly tilted her head, enduring his teasing. Occasionally, she could not help but let out a soft moan. After a while,her eyes were misty as she spoke, “Mason, I told you that I was not going to be locked up like a bird in a cage. The freedom to go where I want and do what I want was part of the deal.” Mason did not inquire. He released her, giving a light snort. “It seems Mrs. Lockwood is planning to do something big.” Then, right in front of her, he took off his bathrobe and started dressing. Mason had a great figure. He had a tall and well-built frame, covered with a thin layer of natural muscles, not an ounce of excess fat, but also not the type of muscle mass developed in the gym. He stripped down to just a black pair of briefs. The package underneath made Zoe turn her face away slightly, a faint blush appearing on her face, adding a touch of femininity. Mason really liked her like this. He lightly touched her face, chuckling. “Last night, you seemed to enjoy yourself quite a bit.” Perhaps because he had been satisfied, or maybe due to Zoe’s docility. Mason was in a very good mood.

After a while, she sneered. “Mason, are you spoiling her because of that bastard? You found out that Zoe had a thing with him. Are you afraid that if you divorce her, she’ll fall straight into his arms? Is that unbearable for you that you would do everything to keep her, disregarding the cost? Mason, are you insane?” In the spacious office, the mother and son tore apart the facade, revealing the uncivilized truth. Lisa’s expression lost its elegance. Mason had long been used to it. He quietly watched his mother, softly sneering. “Didn’t you teach me to use any means necessary to achieve my goals?” In the end, Lisa left in anger. After she left, Mason stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the panorama of Brookesville. His mood had soured.
