Mason grew even more frustrated when Cecilia didn’t deny what she had said and explained her reasoning. “There’s nothing between Jessica and me. Do you know that Lucy wants to break up with me because of this?”

“Does it matter what you tell me?” Cecilia retorted. “Let me ask you this. If I hadn’t told Lucille about you and Jessica going to a romantic restaurant, would you have done something worse with Jessica next time? Are you sure you have the self–control to resist temptation?”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Mason was at a loss for words.

As a man, he knew that resisting temptation wasn’t always easy.

“Jessica has everything–looks, a great figure, and a wealthy background. How many ordinary men can resist someone like her?” Cecilia added. “I admit I had my own concerns, afraid that you might be drawn to Jessica and end up siding with her in the future.”

After a long silence, Mason finally spoke. “I shouldn’t have met with Jessica privately, especially so late at night. I’ll be more careful in the future.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, he then asked Cecilia, “You saw what happened earlier. I’ve made it clear to Jessica and kept a distance from her. Could you tell Lucy that? She won’t listen to me right now.”

Cecilia handed him the copied video.

“Please appreciate Lucy. I haven’t known her for long, but I can tell she’s a good girl.”

Mason was puzzled as he took the flash drive from Cecilia, but once he returned to his car and watched it, everything became clear.

He immediately sent the video to Lucille.

Lucille was watching a drama when she received the surveillance video from Mason, and it lifted her mood a little.

She texted back: Even though you’ve changed, you’re still not trustworthy. We should live apart for now to see if we’re really right for each other.

Mason saw her message and knew she wasn’t mad anymore.

He quickly replied: Okay, Babe.

Lucille: I’m not your babe. Hmph.

After responding, Lucille set her phone aside and continued watching her show.

At Daltonia Villa, Jessica sat alone in the living room.

When Cecilia finally entered, she couldn’t help but ask, “Cecilia, what were you and Mr. Sanders talking about for so long?”

“Do you want to know?”

“I’m not telling you.”

Jessica was left speechless. This d*mn woman!

Cecilia had come back a little late that day. After dinner and a brief rest, she returned to her room.

Not long after, her assistant, Charlotte, called to update her on the competition.

“Boss, we’ve passed the preliminary round!”

“That’s good,” Cecilia responded calmly.

Charlotte already knew that Cecilia was so used to winning awards that clearing the preliminary round wasn’t surprising at all.

“Boss, I miss you so much.”

“I miss you too,” Cecilia replied.

As the two chatted, Cecilia had no idea that Jessica was eavesdropping at the door.

When Jessica heard Cecilia say she missed someone, her first thought was of Eric.

Jessica mentally noted this, planning to gather more evidence before reporting it to Nathaniel and Elena.

She believed the Rainsworth family would never allow Cecilia to do anything unethical.

Meanwhile, Cassandra was still unhappy after returning home. She kept thinking about what Miranda had. said and how Cecilia flaunted her success at the company. Clenching her fists in frustration, she grew more

upset.

That day, Ralph had called Cassandra home.

“Cassandra, I’ve sold off the entire Evans Group. I’m preparing to make a comeback. Can you get Queenie to help me?”

Cassandra looked worried. “Dad, you might not know, but Queenie told me to sever ties with Paula. Otherwise, she won’t recognize me as her adopted daughter anymore.”
