At this time, Black Python and Red Python came back from outside. Looking around, Black Python frowned and glanced at Young Master Mason, who was sitting alone on the sofa. “Hasn’t Miss Jackson returned yet?”
Mason swept his eyes lightly across Black Python but did not answer. “Just now, I saw Miss Jackson coming out of the Leaping Dragon Hotel and then getting into a man’s car,” Black Python muttered in a low voice. In the darkness of the night, he had thought that man was Young Master Mason.
As his words fell, Mason’s eyes narrowed dangerously. His voice was so bone-shatteringly cold as he asked, “What did you say?”
Black Python slowly turned his head and shivered in his boots, then immediately smiled and said, “No, I did not see anything! Nor did I see Miss Jackson get into a black Rolls…” Before he could say anything more, his mouth was covered by Red Python.
Mason saw red, and the bloodlust in his eyes could be vaguely detected. Upon gradually realizing the seriousness of the matter, Black Python immediately shut up. What did Miss Jackson mean by this? Is she cheating on Young Master Mason? He simply dared not think further into it.
Everyone looked as Mason’s figure walked toward the second floor and shivered. The man looked so jealous and aggrieved, and nobody had seen him look so aggrieved before.
About half an hour later, Janet finally came back. Upon returning to the living room of the Lowry Residence, she received odd looks from everyone.
“What’s wrong?” Janet swept her gaze mildly around. Black Python and Red Python coughed dryly but didn’t say anything. Blinking, Janet’s slanted eyes narrowed slightly, and she then suddenly turned to the butler at the side. “What’s wrong?”
The butler glanced at the second floor. “Miss Jackson, I think you should go upstairs quickly.”
Black Python looked around and whistled softly, as if by staying out of the way, he could pretend that nothing had happened. “Oh!” Janet rolled her eyes at Black Python. After Janet went upstairs, everyone let out a collective breath. Not long after, Janet came to the bedroom and searched around, and when she could not find Mason, she went to the study. The door was left open by a tiny crack and was not really closed so that people could get in and out easily.
Blinking, Janet pressed her lips together. Is he waiting for me?
“What’s wrong with you?” As soon as she entered the door, she saw the man sitting on the sofa with a dark face.
Is he in a bad mood? No wonder those people downstairs had looked at me with strange expressions! But I’ve no idea what’s going on!
Janet had just walked up to the man when he grabbed her arms and pinned her against the desk.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?” Janet blinked her eyes with her tone full of confusion. Next, Mason stretched out his long, bony fingers to gently pinch her rounded little chin, making her look straight at himself. Then, his eyes darkened, and he pursed his mouth as if he had suffered some great grievance before he said, “Black Python said you cheated on me!”
“Huh? What?” Janet blurted out in surprise, wondering why this man could say that out of the blue. Then, the man pressed his mouth and continued, “He said he saw you getting into another man’s car!”
At that, Janet tugged at the corner of her mouth. I got such a fright! So that’s what Mason meant about the cheating!
“That’s my friend!” Janet denied with a straight face. Hearing that, the man raised his eyes and said roguishly, “Then why did you attend the party with him, and why didn’t you ask me to accompany you? Besides, that’s the Lowry Family’s territory!”
Janet rolled her eyes speechlessly. This man really likes to overanalyze too much. I won’t be able to explain anything to him.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed with a shrewd light, and she pouted her mouth. In the next moment, she spoke in a cold voice. “So, in the end, you don’t believe me?”
Before the man reacted, she continued, “I read a novel once where the male lead suspected the female lead of cheating, and then the female lead was so angry that she left and got together with another man!”
This was clearly something she made up, but Mason instantly panicked. He suddenly said seriously, “I do believe you! How could I ever suspect you!”
