Chapter 139 The hospital room door was knocked twice and pushed open. The person who came in was none other than Lisa. Even in the late hours, Lisa was impeccable. Adorned in luxurious attire and jewelry, she exuded an aristocratic charm. Mason silently observed her, his slender fingers gripping a certain photograph. She stood at the doorway, her gaze fell upon the photo held by her son. The mother and son shared a deep connection. At this moment, Lisa knew exactly what was going through his mind. She turned to the servant who had followed her and said, “Henrietta, wait outside.” Sensing the tense atmosphere, Henrietta hastily retreated and closed the door behind her. Lisa, sitting down gracefully on the couch, studied her son. Coming from an aristocratic family, she had experienced her husband’s betrayal and infidelity at a young age, leaving her heart cold. In the dim light, her face carried a hint of harshness. She looked at her son and said, “I heard from that Zoe went to a bar, got into a fight with you, and ended up in the hospital. Mason, she is the lady of the Lockwood Group. What kind of behavior is this? I cannot tolerate it.” Mason’s gaze was profound. After Lisa finished her complaints, he softly retorted, “Why don’t you talk to her personally? Is it because you feel guilty? Because you’re afraid to make such demands on her? Because deep down, you know this isn’t what she aspired to be. Am I right?” A photo was thrown in front of her. +25 BONUS Lisa picked it up. Upon seeing what it showed, she scowled. She let out a cold laugh. “You found out? So, now you pity her? Even if you pity her, don’t forget she’s now married into the Lockwood family. Her behavior reflects my dignity. She shouldn’t mingle with all sorts of people and tarnish our family’s reputation.” Mason pursed his lips tightly, fixing his gaze on his mother. Watching her unrepentant demeanor, he asked coldly, “No matter how bad she is,

wasn’t it you who personally arranged for her to be by my side? Just because I wanted to marry Lilith, you orchestrated Zoe to become my wife. What did she do wrong? Is this all because she happened to like me?” By the end, his voice trembled slightly. Lisa, on the other hand, continued to smile coldly. Great. Her true intention had been unveiled by her son. Since the cat was out of the bag, she might as well be honest. Her smile became more twisted. “Yes! But I chose her not just because she liked you. She comes from a good family. Her mother is an artist, her father was someone with integrity, and she had a diligent and outstanding brother. Only someone like her is worthy of entering the gates of our family.” Muscles twitched on Mason’s face. Trembling, he uttered, “You forgot she was only 20 years old at that time.” Lisa’s expression changed. 273 +25 BONUS Smiling, she looked at her son, even adopting a tender and affectionate tone. She said, “Mason, you knew she was only 20 then, too. So, why didn’t you show leniency? Why did you just sleep with her for years? It’s because she’s beautiful, isn’t it? She satisfied the needs you had long suppressed, am I right?” “I tortured Zoe!” “Mason, think back to the first month of your marriage. Didn’t you come home every night? Do you dare say that you weren’t addicted?” Mason stared at her, his chest heaving. “You’re sick in the head! Aren’t you afraid of karma?” Lisa lowered her gaze with a faint smile. After a while, she spoke softly, “Meeting Westley Lockwood is my greatest karma.” With that, Lisa left, leaving the hospital room in silence. The rain outside grew heavier.
