Buried 29

“Why are you looking for me?” Mason no longer looked like the crazy person who was controlled by the drug that day. He seemed to have become a different person. His expression was indifferent as he bent down to pick up the cig- arette on the table. “Where’s James? Why isn’t he with you?” 

“…I wanted to ask you.” Harper steadied his heartbeat. “Why did you tell others that I drugged you?“That was funny. 

Mason leaned against the edge of the window. His face was a little unkempt, and the light landed on the side of his face, making it look a little gloomy. “They guessed it themselves. I didn’t say it myself.” 

“… Then can you help me explain?” 

Harper begged, “I don’t want Ava to misunderstand me…” 

“Why should I help you?” Mason’s eyes turned amber as smoke drifted in the air. “Have you forgotten that I came to torture you in the first place?” 

‘Exactly.’How could she forget? 

The hibiscus in the garden was in memory of Olivia, Olivia. She was the one who caused Olivia’s death. Mason had yet to really make a move. If he made a move, there would be no way for her to survive. 

He was actually stupid enough to come and beg him. 

“I’m sorry. I was too rash.” Harper did not beg anymore and was about to leave. 

Mason pinched the cigarette and lowered his eyelashes. “If you want me to explain, sure.” 

Harper blinked. “If you want to be innocent, cancel the marriage with James.” 

This matter was not negotiable. Mason was a man of his word. “Choose one out of two. Which one do you choose?” 

“If you ask me, I should have found a way to kick her out long ago. She’s an eyesore at home.” 

Harper moved away from Walker family, Ethan was the most straightforward one. No one knew what Mason was thinking, but he didn’t say a word. He chose one out of two options. Harper chose James. 

She still knew how to choose between short–term meal tickets and long–term ones. 

Mason asked, “Where is she staying?““Where else can she go? She has no money or background. Without James, she can’t go to the company.” Ethan sneered. “She really has a backbone, but it’s useless if she doesn’t have enough to eat.” 

Ava had given her Harper yuan, but she didn’t take it and quietly kept it. 

She could only live in the worst group rental with her own money, but no matter what, it was much better than the

basement and the leaking attic. As long as she could live peacefully, she cherished it. 

“Isn’t James on a business trip?” Mason could make Harper suffer or make her realize that her choice was wrong. “Stall him. The longer the better.” 

“Why?” 

“I want to see if Harper regrets his choice without him.“With Mason’s help, Harper could not move an inch in Moridise. Ava wanted to help her, but he was powerless. Ethan played with the cigarette in his hand. “Did you know? She can’t find a decent job. She has already gone to someone else’s house to be a nanny.” 

When Ava found out, his heart ached for a long time, but Liam only said, “Why can’t she do it when others can? How is she noble?” 

The two of them had a big fight over this. 

“Whose house are you working as a nanny at?” Mason raised his eyelids slightly in surprise. 

“Several companies are taking turns to do it. There’s no fixed one.” Ethan did not know much. “By the way, Sophia’s group has been looking for trouble with her.” 

The one who drugged Mason was Isabella, but the one who suffered was Harper. She did not complain or defend her- self. As soon as she came out of work, she was stopped by Sophia people. 

Her bag was snatched away. Sophia stood in front of her sports car and threw her bag back and forth with a few peo- ple. Harper snatched it away, but before he could fouch it, it was thrown to the other side. 

She stood in the middle and was played. Her face was pale as she let the group of people play with her. 

When he was done playing, Sophia poured out the things in his bag and drove over. His phone was broken, and the bread he wanted to eat at night was dirty. 

Harper was like a stray cat rummaging through the trash can for food. It squatted pitifully by the roadside to collect things. Just as it was about to pick up the broken phone parts, it was kicked away by a foot. 

The phone was kicked away.
