Chapter 61: When the Truth Finally Hurts.

(Mason’s POV)"Mason!" my dad called, jumping up from the couch the moment he saw me. "You’re back!"Everyone turned to look at me, their faces tense, waiting to hear whether the news was good or bad. I had just returned from Patricia’s office at Smithfield headquarters. I went there to talk to her about Mum, but I came back feeling more shattered than ever."How did it go?" Lucy asked, her eyes full of curiosity."I told you to take that video down, didn’t I? But you wouldn't listen!" I snapped, my voice thick with anger. "Do you even realize how hard it must have been for her too?""My goodness, Mason! Are we talking about her or about Mum right now?" Lucy shot back, her tone filled with disbelief."It’s the same thing, Lucy!" I yelled, my voice rising. "You started all this! You never listened to me!"The room went completely silent. Lucy just stared at me, shocked... I had never yelled at her like that before. And Rose? She quickly ran to my side, holding my arm as if to calm me d

Chapter 62: When He Called Me His

(Patricia’s POV)One day later.It was early morning, and the house was completely quiet. No one was downstairs... not even Monica, who usually woke up before everyone to clean and prepare breakfast.I yawned, still feeling a bit sleepy, and walked into the kitchen. My throat felt dry. I needed water, but there was none left in my room. Monica must have forgotten to replace the bottles.I opened the upper cabinet to grab a glass, but it was too high. My fingers barely touched it. I stood on my toes, stretching to reach it. I couldn’t help but wonder if Monica also struggled this much whenever she set the table.Then suddenly, a hand brushed against mine, grabbing the glass with ease. My heart skipped. I knew that hand, and I definitely knew that scent.I turned around quickly, and I was right. Raymond stood there, wearing workout shorts with a towel around his neck. His hair was damp and slightly messy, his skin glistening with sweat. He looked like he had just finished exercising.He

Chapter 63: Staged Apology

(Patricia’s POV) The moment I stepped toward the entrance, a group of familiar faces surrounded me. Their eyes were red and wet, filled with sadness, like they were mourning. Lucy was the first to kneel, followed by Rose. Mr. Gilbert stood behind them, his hands pressed together. I blinked, stunned. What on earth was going on? Before I could process anything, more people gathered around us, cameras in hand, some holding tablets and microphones… Reporters? James moved quickly, placing himself between me and the reporters, keeping them from getting any closer. The cameras clicked and rolled, capturing every moment. “Press are not allowed here,” James snapped. “Who gave you permission to come?” He had barely finished speaking when Gilbert cried out, his voice full of sadness. "Please, Madam Patricia, have mercy on my family," he begged, his voice heavy with sorrow. "We know we were wrong, but please have mercy," Lucy added, still kneeling, tears rolling down her cheeks. I froze,

Chapter 64: A Desperate Visit

(Raymond’s POV)A proud smile curved on my lips as I dropped the tablet on my desk. I had just finished watching the live video of Patricia and the Bedfords at the company.These people were unbelievable. I couldn’t believe they actually staged that performance, pretending to apologize. I was angry when I first saw the headline, but after watching how Patricia handled them, I couldn’t help but feel proud. She didn’t panic, she wasn’t scared, and she didn’t feel pressured by the scene. I loved how she stood her ground and refused to let them manipulate her.Seeing all of that made me wonder even more about what Patricia must have gone through in the hands of the Bedfords. What she must have endured all those years she was married to Mason.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts, and Timothy walked in.“Sir, Mr. Mason Bedford is here to see you,” he said.I blinked, surprised. Mason was here? It had been a long time since he visited my office. Why today?“Alright. Let him in,” I said, st

Chapter 65: Winning Her Back

(Raymond's POV) “Please, Raymond. You’re my last hope,” he pleaded. I looked at him, feeling bad that he was the one stuck in the middle. I had planned for Elizabeth to spend a full week in police custody, but now my heart was beginning to soften. For a woman her age, someone who wasn’t used to a place like that, three days in there was enough punishment. If I ever thought of changing the plan, it would only be because of the history I once shared with Mason... But even that would only happen if Patricia approved it. If she said no, then it stayed no. “Ray…” he whispered again. I sighed and rubbed my temples. “It’s not a promise, but I’ll see what I can do.” Mason’s face brightened immediately. “Thanks, Ray.” he said. I nodded, but no matter how much I thought about it, I still didn’t understand why Mason had allowed his family to treat Patricia so cruelly. No matter what, she was his wife. "But how could you let your family treat her so badly?" I asked, unable to hold it in

Chapter 66: The Surprise Pickup

(Patricia's POV)"Any news about the account statement?" I asked James, my eyes filled with hope. "Nothing yet, ma’am," he replied. "We’re still working on it."I sighed, frustrated. I had asked him to get the Bedford family’s account report, and it was taking forever. Two whole weeks, and still nothing. Was it really that hard to get?"You know how important this is to me, James. And you also know we don’t have much time left," I said, doing my best to stay calm."I’m sorry, madam," he said softly. "I’ll have the boys put more effort into it.""Please do, James. I need it as soon as possible."What happened this morning only made me more determined to carry out my plans against them. I still couldn’t believe they had the guts to pull that stunt. Bringing reporters to record their fake apology? They really thought I would panic. I didn’t. I stood my ground. I even braced myself for the world to call me heartless, but they didn’t. Instead, they applauded me.I had made a promise to m

Chapter 67: Booked Just for Us

(Patricia's POV)"Shall we?" Raymond said softly as he extended his arm.I smiled and placed my hand on his, holding him gently as we walked into the restaurant together.The place was big and prestigious. One look was enough to know it was a luxury restaurant. But the strangest thing was… all the seats were empty. No customers. Only the workers.Raymond led us to a table in the center, set for just two people. The table was beautifully arranged with fresh flowers, and a small group of musicians played soft music by the side. The whole atmosphere felt too romantic.He pulled out a chair for me, and I sat down gracefully, my smile growing even wider. Then he walked over and sat in his own chair."Do you… like this place?" he asked quietly, sounding unsure.Like it? My goodness, like was an understatement. I loved it. I loved everything... the setting, the flowers, the music, and most of all… being here with him.“If you don’t, we can go somewhere else,” he added quickly.I smiled. “I l

Chapter 68: The Kiss

(Raymond’s POV)Throughout our ride home, my heart wouldn’t stop racing. What happened earlier at the restaurant kept replaying in my mind again and again.I never planned to kiss her tonight. I only wanted to dance with her. but somewhere between holding her waist and looking into her eyes, I lost control of my feelings. And it happened. At first, she didn’t respond. She went still, like the kiss surprised her. But then… slowly… her grip on my shirt tightened, and her lips started moving against mine. She kissed me back.Her lips were so soft and warm that I didn’t want the moment to end. But it did... her phone rang. One of her business partners called at the wrong time.Now sitting beside her in the backseat, I couldn’t hide how happy I was. Just thinking about that moment sent a sharp thrill through me. If she kissed me back, then maybe… maybe she liked me too.The second the car stopped in the driveway, I rushed out and ran to her side to open her door.She smiled and whispered

Chapter 69: Stay Away From Her

(Mason’s POV)"Please sign here," the police inspector said, pointing at a line, "and here too."My dad bent over and quickly signed the papers, then handed them back to the inspector.We had all come to the police station to pick up my mum. She was finally being released today... thanks to Raymond.Yesterday, I went to meet him at his office to ask for help with the case. And he did. He helped us."That will be all, Mr. Bedford," the inspector said with a polite smile. "You're free to go.""Thank you so much, inspector," my dad said softly.The inspector nodded and walked back into his office. For a moment, the whole place went quiet. The only sound was my mum’s soft sobs. She had been crying nonstop ever since she came out of the cell.I turned to her. She sat there with Lucy by her side, holding her and trying to comfort her. She looked thinner, her face swollen like she had cried for days. She was stressed and exhausted, like someone who had been locked away for years.My chest ti

Chapter 70: Carrying the Legacy

(Patricia’s POV)"Now I understood better why Mr. Smith chose you as his successor. You are just like him," Mr. Kim, one of the oldest contractors of Smithfield, said as we walked around the site.I had visited one of our ongoing project sites today to see for myself how the work was going. Especially since the project was set to launch in two months. I couldn’t afford any disappointment from the contractors.Besides, I needed the building to be as perfect as always. Smithfield Construction was known for delivering solid, high-quality projects. Everything we touched turned out to be the best, and I had to protect that legacy."This was exactly how Mr. Smith used to visit the sites to supervise the ongoing work himself," another one said, smiling. "I'm glad you took after him so well.""I’ve always noticed a striking resemblance between you two," Mr. Kim added. "You look like him, and you act like him too." I chuckled softly. They seemed really happy that I came, and they kept talking
