Chapter 800 What Should We Do

The private room where Mason and Jessica were was located right next to where Cecilia and Lucille were having their meal.

In an attempt to impress Cecilia, the manager deliberately installed a small pane of one–way glass on this side.

Mason and Jessica couldn’t see this side, but Cecilia had a clear view of the two.

It was unknown if it was intentional, but when Jessica entered the private room and saw roses strewn all over the floor and the delicately arranged settings on the dining table, she latched onto Mason’s arm without a second thought..

“Wow, Mason, it’s so beautiful!”

Upon witnessing this scene, Lucille, sitting across from Cecilia, was practically hopping mad.

“Darn it!”

Fortunately, Mason pulled his hand away.

“Ms. Quill, let’s sit down and have a meal. Didn’t you say that you have many things you wanted to ask me?”

Only then did Jessica pull out a chair and sit down next to him.

“Sitting next to him instead of sitting across?” Lucille muttered.

Mason was oblivious to the fact that he was being watched by his fiancée and Cecilia. He didn’t suggest for Jessica to sit somewhere else, perhaps because he was embarrassed to do so.

Just as he shifted away slightly, he heard Jessica ask, “Mason, how’s Nathaniel doing now?”

“Mr. Rainsworth is doing well. You don’t need to worry,” responded Mason.

Jessica, however, shook her head. “I think he’s not doing well, not at all.”

“Why would you say that?” Mason asked, puzzled.

“If he’s doing well, why would he move out and live alone? You have no idea how I felt while taking care of Cecilia all by myself these past few days at Daltonia Villa. Seeing her not doing anything and incapable of anything, I feel bad for Nathaniel.”

While Jessica was busy grumbling, Cecilia was telling Lucille that she was Nathaniel’s cousin.

“Why do I feel like she doesn’t seem like his cousin though?”

“They aren’t related by blood.”

“No wonder. She clearly has a thing for Mr. Rainsworth.”

Even Lucille, an outsider, had noticed it. This only proved how obvious Jessica had been.

Mason patted Jessica’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t overthink it. Mr. Rainsworth loves Mrs. Rainsworth very much. Besides, it’s not like she’s really incapable of anything.”

Mason knew Cecilia was actually a renowned composer overseas.

“What is she capable of? Isn’t she just messing around at home, composing some tunes?”

Jessica was displeased.

After she finished speaking, she once again threw herself into Mason’s arms.

“Can you hold me, Mason? I’ve been taking care of Cecilia these days and it’s been really tough

on me.”

“This b*tch! And this se mbag!”

Lucille rose to her feet, ready to rush over.

However, Cecilia quickly pulled her back. “Don’t get too worked up.”

“How can I not be worked up? Ceci, did you not hear her badmouthing you too? Let’s go over together and give her a piece of our mind!”

Realization finally dawned upon Lucille, that Jessica wasn’t only fixated on Nathaniel but also interested in Mason and wanted to seduce him.

“Look.”

When Lucille peered through the glass again, she discovered that Mason had already pushed Jessica away.

“Ms. Quill, I have a fiancée. We should keep our distance.”

“Fiancée? Who’s your fiancée?” Jessica’s face darkened. “Is she as pretty as me? Does she have a family background as impressive as mine? Is she as capable as I am?”

The barrage of questions left Mason momentarily stumped.

Seeing him remain silent, Jessica knew his fiancée was nowhere comparable to her, and this. understanding filled her with exceptional satisfaction.

“Mason, please don’t be like Nathaniel, treating love and marriage carelessly. Withi your capabilities, you should be able to find a far more exceptional woman.”

Those words were truly off–putting, even to an outsider.

Lucille was already seething in anger, yet she was still considerate of Cecilia. “Ceci, when can we finally deal with her?”

“If we just appear and fight it out with her, Mason will only think we’re being unreasonable,” said

“What should we do then?” Lucille was getting anxious. She wished nothing more than to give Jessica and Mason a good thrashing right then and there.
