Chapter 813 This Is The Place

However, when the taxi finally pulled over, Mason discovered that the person inside was not the one he was looking for.

“Darn it!”

Jessica was still calling.

He answered the phone with a hint of impatience. “Ms. Quill, what’s the matter?”

Jessica felt that Mason’s tone was rather unpleasant that day.

She thought she must have misheard but didn’t dwell on it. “Mason, are you asleep?”

“No.”

Thanks to you, I won’t be getting any sleep tonight.

“I’m a bit scared. Last night, there seemed to be some strange noises in the mansion. Could you ask Nathaniel if I can stay at his place?”

Mason’s voice turned cold.

“I’m not in a position to decide on this matter. You should probably give Mr. Rainsworth a call. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

Jessica stared at the disconnected call, her face a mask of confusion.

Suddenly, she thought back to the night before last when she had seen Lucille.

Did she complain to Mason?

Why didn’t I complain to Mason first? Fortunately, she had taken a photo of her face after Lucille had hit her that day.

Mason was about to call Lucille to check if she had reached her destination when Jessica sent another message.

It was a picture of her face, marked with a vivid handprint.

Mason suspected Cecilia might be behind it. If that were the case, it would be too much.

Soon after, Jessica sent a text message. It read: There’s something I haven’t told you. The other night, after we had dinner, I ran into your girlfriend. Your girlfriend seems to have misunderstood something about us, and then she hit

Mason was shocked to discover that it was Lucille who had delivered the slap.

If he hadn’t heard the recorded conversation between them, he might have believed that Lucille was rude

and had hit someone without cause.

Now, he knew that Jessica was not a good person at all.

When Jessica saw the message from Mason, her eyes were filled with surprise.

Jessica: Mason, she’s your fiancée. Aren’t you going to stand up for her?

Mason was extremely annoyed with Jessica at that moment.

Finished

He had only said that because he knew for certain that Jessica would never call the police, especially given the lack of evidence.

“Ms. Quill, I apologize, but I’m already exhausted from a full day of work. It would be best if you didn’t seek me out, whether you have a matter to discuss or not. If you’re looking to get in touch with Mr. Rainsworth, I’d appreciate it if you could find him yourself.”

After saying all that, he deleted Jessica from his life.

A woman with such devious intentions could potentially harm him if he continued to stay in contact with her.

Then, he immediately got in touch with Lucille.

“Lucy, have you arrived?”

“I’m here now. Get lost.”

Lucille had arrived. She was so taken aback that she didn’t even know how to scold Mason. After responding to him, she ended the call.

Mason tried calling again, only to discover that she was already on another call.

Lucille stood outside a massive mansion. She even took a picture, specifically asking Cecilia, “Cecilia, am I at the right place?”

Cecilia replied, “Yes, this is the place. You can enter by typing in the code. I’ve already spoken to the security.”

“But the money I gave you is not enough for—”

She felt that the money she had couldn’t even cover the cost of a corner of this mansion.

“The mansion has been vacant for a while. No one’s been living there,” Cecilia interrupted her. “Now that you’re here, you could do me a favor and check if there’s anything broken or in need of repair”
