Chapter 1168
Olivia was sent back to the Heath Residence. Although Linus said that he trusted her, she felt like her future here was up in the air. Many people wanted to stay around the Heaths for the status and opportunities that came with being close to Mason. Besides, Mason had just experienced two assassination attempts. The Heaths wouldn't just let her leave. Olivia waited in the tea room. It was still cold out. Brewing some tea and lighting a scented candle was very relaxing for her. There weren't any classified documents in the tea room, just some good tea. Mason learned that she liked drinking tea. So, he told her that she could brew tea for herself. The teas that were stored in his tea room were all very high quality. They were some of the best that money could buy. She wasn't bold enough to do it while Mason was present. But there wasn't anyone there at the moment, so she was able to let herself go and taste the teas one by one. All of them were great.The teas in this room a

Olivia shoved a piece of angel food cake into Mason's mouth in a panic. She almost choked him."Does it taste good?" "Yes, it's tasty." Mason wanted to talk about what happened before, not the cake. Olivia added, "Last time I made this, you said it tasted familiar. Have you eaten this somewhere else?"Mason said nostalgically, "Nowadays, the desserts on the market are catered to the tastes of you young people. They're all sweeter than before. Back in my day, it was completely different. This is something I tasted a long time ago.""An old lady taught me this recipe. She said there was a cherry tree where she used to live. They would take the cherries and make angel food cakes every fall."Life was tough back then. Children didn't even have snacks they could eat. Most families could only hope for more fruits from the trees they had. But they wouldn't let their children eat too much because they had to sell those fruits at the market."By the way, Grandpa Mason, have you been

Krystal was confused. "Mom, what do you mean? What's wrong with this picture?"Tatiana proceeded to show her the surveillance footage. "Can you see where the shot went?""It grazed her cheek.""I looked for many videos that were closer and clearer. I'm sure that the bullet touched her face. Even if it was a flesh wound, there should be some mark on her face. Did you see anything on her face just now?"Krystal finally understood what Tatiana was trying to say. She shook her head. "I didn't pay much attention, but I don't think there were any injuries on her face.""Look at this picture. Why did she cover up her face?""I get it now! The problem lies with her face.""That's right. How do you think she made the injury disappear?""There aren't any medications in the world that can heal an injury so quickly. Unless something blocked the damage for her. Since it's her face … I understand now. That's not her real face!""Yes. There have been a lot of advancements in facial molds. It

News of the assassination attempt on Mason was suppressed. No one except those on the scene when it happened knew about it. An attempt on his life happened as soon as he appeared in public. So, Mason wouldn't be appearing in public anytime soon. He would even be working in the Heath Residence. Krystal clung to Mason. "Dad, I'm so scared. Someone tried to kill you twice.""Don't worry. I'm fine."It was rare for Krystal to be so well-behaved. Mason reached out and patted her on the head. "You've really been spoiled rotten all these days. You're an adult now. You should learn to be more like your brother.""To become as emotionless and dense as him?"Mason sighed. "You little brat. I mean you should learn to be more mature and sensible. Or else someone would take advantage of you."Simply put, Krystal was very dumb. Even if she weren't spoiled, she wouldn't really become a capable person. If someone were to take advantage of her, things would be different. The three-month

Krystal walked up to Olivia. "Come here. Let's talk it out."Olivia was also curious to see what Krystal wanted to do.Mason's expression darkened. "What are you trying to pull, Krystal?"Then, he looked at Tatiana because he thought it was her idea. Tatiana said resignedly, "Mason, I have nothing to do with this. I don't know what she's up to."It was the truth. She had been thinking of what she should do in the past couple of days. She would never make a move without being sure that she would succeed.Seeing what was going on, Tatiana could guess what Krystal had done. She definitely told Yale, and it was all Yale's idea. They wanted to expose Olivia before everyone. It would be great if everything went according to plan, but they didn't have any proof that Olivia had any malicious intent. At least from the information that they had, they couldn't really prove that Olivia bore any ill will toward Mason. The things they had done already disappointed Mason. If they messe

Krystal started to feel uneasy when she saw that Olivia was so calm. She talked like they knew each other.She thought long and hard but didn't know who Olivia could possibly be. It was impossible. She was definitely bluffing. Krystal swore she wouldn't fall for it anymore. Tatiana and Mason looked at each other. Neither of them knew what was going to happen. Olivia touched the soaked edges of her mask and slowly removed it. It was because she had been wearing a mask for extended periods of time. The skin that was revealed was ashen. Olivia's chin was pointed. She didn't put anything on her lips, but they were naturally pink.Her nose was small and refined. It was the type of nose many people would want to get plastic surgery to have. Her forehead was full and glowing. Her eyes were big and bright. When Krystal saw Olivia's face, she was reminded of the first time she saw Olivia three years ago. She was injured, and her hair was a mess. She stood in the corridor. Her

Everyone could see that there was something wrong with Mason. Tatiana started to panic. She had never seen him in such an unsightly state in all the years she had been married to him. Who was this woman?Tatiana wasn't the only one who thought Mason was looking at Olivia with a weird expression. Everyone else thought the same. Naturally, Ethan felt that, too. He wrapped his arms around Olivia. Both of them were soaked and looked a little downtrodden, but his gaze was cold. "Mr. and Mrs. Heath, as you can see, she's Olivia, my ex-wife. She's not anyone suspicious. She just wants to keep a low profile and not stand out."She only came to perform the operation because I begged her to do so. I didn't expect her kindness to be repaid with such insults. "Ms. Heath has tried to humiliate her repeatedly. We endured all of that because we cared about Mr. Heath's health."This time, she pulled yet another trick to humiliate Liv publicly. I'm sorry, but I can't bear to see her being hu
Chapter 1175
Krystal was dumbfounded. Why did things end up like that? Ethan would hate her even more after that. Although Mason didn't reprimand her, she was scared by the look he gave her when he left. Mason had been very busy for as long as she could remember. She only got to see him a couple of times each year. Even if he weren't present, he would send all the nice things to her place. She could also feel his fatherly love. She grew up in a happy environment. When Mason rose to prominence, she became like a princess. Everyone around her doted on her. But she messed up again and caused Mason to be disgusted at her. Tatiana went with Mason and tried to appease him. "Mason, there's still some food in the kitchen. I'll get the housekeeper to get you some. You haven't completely recovered yet. You could use the nourishment."Mason was holding a string of prayer beads in his hand. The beads looked well-worn. He would hold these beads whenever he was feeling upset. It would calm him dow
