Play Poor? Be One
Before Mom's surgery, Mason—yeah, the Mason Leonhart from one of Brighton's big-name families—suddenly "had" to go on a business trip and couldn't be at the hospital.
A few hours later, Judy Yeager blasted a video on social.
There was Mason, Mr. Born-With-A-Silver-Spoon, recycling bottles with her.
Caption: [If we work hard together, no hardship can scare us.]
I couldn't resist.
[Future Leonhart heir, worth ten billion, still helping his girl recycle bottles to trade in for cash—heartwarming.]
It vanished in seconds.
My phone lit up. Mason's voice? Ice cold.
"Shiloh Harrington, what was that? Call Judy. Tell her you were joking."
I laughed. "Keep playing your little poor-boy cosplay without me."
Hung up.
Three days till the divorce cooling-off ended. Then Mason could be the broke man he was pretending to be.
