Chapter 1457: Hiss... Why Are You Still Biting People!?

Chapter 1457: Chapter 1457: Hiss... Why Are You Still Biting People!?

"If we can’t find him, Dad certainly won’t either. Maybe that man knew he caused trouble and hid himself." The second lady simultaneously consoled herself in her heart.

"Mom, can you go to my room and get my essential oils? Without them, I always feel like I’m not completely clean," Seraphina Parker said, aggrieved.

"Okay, I’ll go get them."

The second lady went to Seraphina’s room and saw a maid sneaking around, "What are you doing?!"

The maid was startled, "Ah! Madam, I... I wasn’t doing anything."

Doubts arose in the second lady’s heart, and her gaze turned severe, "You know the Parker Family’s methods for dealing with unruly servants. Are you going to confess honestly, or do I have to make you speak?"

The maid fell to her knees with a thud, "Second lady, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have greedily taken Clara Philips’s money to tell her your plan succeeded. Clara also asked me to take pictures of the young lady being humiliated. I couldn’t live with my conscience, so I wanted to confess to you, madam. Please forgive me."

Clara Philips, it was her! The second lady clenched her fingers tightly, hatred surging in her eyes.

...

Everything on the table was cleaned up, and Aurelia Shaw’s face showed satisfaction, her belly full and round, forming a cute little curve.

Mason Nightshade touched her round little belly, deep in thought: In a few more months, if his plan succeeds, there could be a little baby of theirs inside. Thinking of this, Mason smiled.

Gustavo Yates walked in.

He gave Aurelia Shaw a mysterious smile, "Sister-in-law, the plan succeeded."

Mason Nightshade looked at the little woman in his arms with a scrutinizing gaze, "What mischief have you been up to again?"

Aurelia Shaw held his neck to prevent herself from slipping, "Clara Philips wanted to use the second lady to destroy me. Instead of leaving this weapon in her hand, it’s better to turn it against her so I can reap the benefits like a fisherman."

Mason adored her craftiness and calculating nature, which never allowed others to take advantage of her. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, his voice muffled, "How did you know they were planning against you like that?"

"When the second lady invited me to the coming-of-age ceremony, I was suspicious. With my relationship with Seraphina, how could they invite me personally? They even had Grandpa make an appearance, which made me suspect something was amiss.

When that man appeared at the party, I thought that was their goal. But his accusations were too easily refuted. If Clara Philips was the mastermind behind the scenes, she surely wouldn’t stop at just that move. And indeed..."

Mason’s eyes deepened, "How did you know about the second lady’s relationship with Clara Philips?"

"Secret. Ouch... why are you biting me!?"

"You’re not allowed to keep secrets from me." Mason raised an eyebrow, his thumb rubbing her earlobe, in his deep eyes was the smartness of seeing through it all, "Do you have your own intelligence network?"

"Mhmm," Aurelia Shaw honestly admitted.

Mason’s lips curled.

He didn’t mind Aurelia having such an intelligence network. In fact, he feared she wouldn’t be able to protect herself. Knowing that his woman had prepared so many backup plans for herself made Mason both happy and excited; he adored her like this.

Viscount Zhou waited at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, and when he finally saw the car arrive, he walked over quickly.

Aurelia was taken aback, "Viscount? Why are you waiting at the gate?"

Viscount Zhou’s face was very stern. Seeing she was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and then cast a sidelong glance at the man behind her, "Aurelia just went through a scare. Where did you take her?"
