A man named Justin sat across from Mason, observing the changes in him with a pleased expression.

A smile formed on Justin’s lips as he took a sip of the drink that had been served. “It’s been such a long time since we last met.”

Justin couldn’t even remember exactly when they had last seen each other, but he did recall Selena’s displeased expression whenever they did.

Setting his glass down on the table, Justin suddenly recalled something. His gaze returned to Mason, and he furrowed his brows. “I heard that you and Selena are divorced.”

He had heard the news quite some time ago, and now that they had met, he didn’t want to miss the chance to confirm it.

Mason nodded as he took a sip of his coffee. He couldn’t deny that his life had been much more peaceful since their separation.

“Oh, really?” Justin raised an eyebrow. He had initially been skeptical about the news, but hearing Mason confirm it made him recall something else.

After Selena announced their divorce, Justin had also come

    It was clear that Justin’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he gazed at his car.He kept running his hand over the vehicle with pride. To him, owning a car was a huge achievement. At that moment, his gaze shifted back to Mason. He wasn’t sure if Mason had a car or not, but all he wanted was to share his happiness with him.A silver car stood parked in front of them. It was a transport vehicle, likely used for work. Mason could tell that Justin had bought it for practical purposes.“I’m really happy that I was able to buy this car. Isn’t it amazing?” Justin looked at Mason with joy. He had saved up for months to afford it.Mason understood. He knew that Justin had always lived a modest life. To someone like him, even an ordinary car felt like a luxury.Justin had no idea that Mason could easily buy thousands of cars like this. But Mason didn’t want to ruin his friend’s happiness by saying anything insensitive.Instead, Mason nodded. “Yes, this is incredible. You did a great job buying

    Justin was utterly shocked by what he had just done. He could hardly believe it—he had actually stepped on the gas and crashed into the luxury car in front of him.He knew just how expensive that car was. As the woman had pointed out earlier, his truck was nothing compared to Sania’s vehicle.The front of the luxury car was slightly damaged. Justin felt his nerves tightening—he had no idea what to do. He was completely speechless.Holding his head in his hands, he muttered, “I shouldn’t have done that.”“Oh God, what have I done?” he groaned, regret washing over him. He truly regretted his actions.Justin knew that paying for the damage to that car would be a huge burden for him.His gaze shifted to Mason. The contrast between them was striking—while Justin was visibly panicked, Mason looked completely unfazed. His expression remained calm, even as the damage to the black car was clear.“Mason, we’re in trouble,” Justin said, his heart pounding. From the corner of his eye, he could se

    Seeing Mason approach and hearing his words, Sania could no longer contain her anger.Her emotions flared even more as she strode toward him. "What do you mean by saying that? You're truly an insolent man!" she snapped.In her mind, what Justin had done was the proper way to act. They were poor, and poor people should submit to the rich—especially when they made a mistake."He was only showing the respect he should. How dare you say such a thing?" Sania turned toward Justin, believing that Mason should be acting the same way.She then shifted her gaze back to Mason. "You both need to take responsibility for what you've done.""Look at my car!" She pointed toward the damaged vehicle. "You must compensate me for this!"Crossing her arms, she studied them. She knew they were nothing but poor men. There was no way she would let them beg for mercy. Before they could even try, she spoke again."I don’t care how—you will pay me back no matter what."Mason met her glare with an icy stare. "Yo

    Justin immediately grabbed Mason’s hand tightly, his frustration barely contained. “Do you not realize we’re in a seriously dangerous situation?”He pressed his fingers against his throbbing temple. If Mason had just let him apologize to Sania, things wouldn’t have escalated like this. But instead, Mason had made things worse by challenging her to call the police.Justin shook his head in disbelief. He couldn’t understand how Mason thought. “If that woman really calls the police, we’re definitely going to jail.”Justin was certain that if the authorities got involved, they’d have to spend a fortune to get out of this mess. And he simply didn’t have that kind of money.Yet Mason remained eerily calm. “You don’t have to worry. Nothing bad will happen to us.” His voice was firm, as if he truly believed his words.But Justin wasn’t convinced. He ran a rough hand down his face, frustration bubbling inside him. He couldn’t wrap his head around Mason’s reasoning. Maybe, just maybe, Mason’s m

    Sania was utterly shocked because she never expected the police there to recognize Mason. She glanced slightly at Mason, wondering how a poor man like him could be treated with such respect by the police. It was evident from the way the officer was exceptionally polite when dealing with Mason.What was even more surprising was that the officer not only acted with great respect but also shook hands with Mason."Do they really know each other?" Sania muttered under her breath.However, she quickly redirected the officer’s attention. "Sir, what about my report? Shouldn't they be punished immediately?""I want you to arrest them," Sania said swiftly. She didn't want to waste any more of her time. Dealing with Mason and Justin only made her anger rise further.The police officer, Samuel, turned his gaze back to Sania. He remained silent for a moment before shifting his attention to Mason again. "Mr. Mason, what happened?"Sania frowned. She was on the verge of shouting at the officer. How

    MSania was in complete shock. Her chest pounded violently, and her hands trembled as she looked at her phone.She turned her gaze to Mason, observing him intently. This time, disbelief filled her expression as she stared at him. “You’re… not poor?” she asked in a shaky voice.Before this, she had been certain that neither Mason nor Justin had anything. It was obvious from their appearance and how Justin had previously begged her.“I never said I was poor,” Mason emphasized firmly.Sania was left speechless. Her eyes darted between Mason and Samuel, struggling to process the situation.Deep inside, she knew that things were about to take a turn for the worse. She had just received the compensation money, and now, that meant she would soon be facing the police.Mason’s earlier words echoed in her mind—his demand for her to be imprisoned for ten years. Fear gripped her, making her body tremble uncontrollably.She couldn’t even begin to imagine how she would survive ten years in prison.

    In the end, they finally arrived at the auto repair shop. Justin glanced back and forth between his car and Mason.Truthfully, Justin never wanted this to happen. “Isn't this too much, Mason? You really didn’t have to do this.”“The damage isn’t that serious. It’s really not a big deal.” Justin tried to convince Mason. Even bringing the car to the repair shop—Justin was sure Mason would have to spend a lot of money, and he didn’t want that to happen.Mason looked at him and shook his head. “It’s not a problem at all.”Mason knew he had to take responsibility. He was the one who had told Justin to crash into Sania’s car, so he believed it was only right for him to handle this matter.Justin let out a deep sigh. Even now, he was still thinking about everything that had happened. He still couldn’t believe it.Justin felt restless. He looked at Mason. “Mason, how could you act like that toward that woman?”He swallowed hard, completely stunned that Mason had been able to do all that. “Mas

    Mason sat calmly in his room, enjoying a cigarette on the balcony, taking slow drags. His gaze was fixed on the vast sky before him.The morning was bright and clear, yet Mason's thoughts were elsewhere. The peaceful atmosphere did little to ease his mind.At that moment, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed. Mason flicked away his still-long cigarette butt, shifting his attention to Rudolf, who had just arrived.Rudolf bowed respectfully before Mason, his demeanor formal and courteous. “Good morning, Master. I’ve brought you coffee.”Mason nodded, allowing Rudolf to place the cup before him. He took a slow sip, savoring the taste.Meanwhile, Rudolf stood before his master, his expression tinged with worry—something Mason immediately noticed.Raising an eyebrow, Mason looked at Rudolf and asked, “What is it?”Rudolf let out a slow breath. “Master, there has been a lot of unpleasant talk spreading among the people.”Mason set down his cup, handing it back to Rudolf, who promptly p

Moreover, he wasn't easily fooled by people."Do you really not know what I'm saying? Or maybe you're just pretending. Of course I don't trust people that easily.

There was no way there was a traitor in her house.The woman then said, "Are you crazy! There is no way there is a traitor in my house. Stop guessing the impossible."
