Chapter 56

Mason hadn’t finished his sentence when Brendan chuckled. “Of course I need to thank you.”

Then, he added, “Ronald needs some manpower, and I think you’d be a great fit. It’s an opportunity for you to gain some experience.”

Hearing that he would be sent to Ronald’s location, Mason’s face turned pale instantly. “Brendan, are you repaying a favor or taking revenge? That place isn’t for humans…”

Before Mason could finish his complaint, Brendan made a phone call. “Jason, help with Mr. Stone’s preparations to leave.”

Mason was on the verge of tears. “Brendan, what have I done wrong? I’ll change.. I’ll change, okay?

“Is it because you and Chloe haven’t reconciled yet? Why don’t you try to make amends? Also, I talked to Naomi yesterday, and she said she won’t force you to do anything.

“She wants you to resolve your issues on your own. She even called Chloe over to help you. Naomi said she’ll respect your decision.”

The more Mason spoke, the more sour Brendan’s expression became.

After Mason finished speaking, Jason entered the room and said solemnly, “Mr. Stone, your train ticket has been booked. Mr. Ronald will pick you up at the train station.”

“Brendan, what have I done wrong?” Mason was on the verge of tears. He couldn’t believe that he was being sent to where Ronald was.

After being escorted out of Brendan’s office by Jason, Mason took out his phone and called Reuben and the others. However, they couldn’t offer any help and only told him to take care of himself.

In the end, Mason called his mother for help. He hoped that she could intervene on his behalf.

On the other end, Mrs. Stone was playing cards as she said, “Mason, I think Brendan’s decision is excellent. You often come across as a bit immature. It’s a good opportunity for you to gain some experience.

“Your father and I are very grateful to Brendan. With your father handling things at our company, you can

rest assured!”

Mason was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, he felt like an outcast.

In his office, seeing Mason’s sad expression, Brendan was satisfied.

When had he ever gotten drunk over Chloe? Who allowed him to blabber in front of Naomi?

Thinking about Naomi’s confident attitude and indifference from this morning. Brendan’s expression again darkened.

Chapter 55

Since Maximus had returned, her attitude had clearly changed. She had even sent him away.

Was she looking for a way to divorce him?

If that was the case, she was too naive.

At around 8:00 pm, when Brendan and Chloe returned to Yellowind Bay, Naomi happened to be walking

downstairs.

“Naomi,” Chloe greeted Naomi when she saw her,

“Ms. Goodwin,” Jason greeted awkwardly while carrying Chloe’s luggage.

Naomi glanced at them indifferently and gave them a casual nod. Then, she continued walking as if nothing had happened. She poured herself a glass of water and acted as if everything was normal,

Ignoring everyone.

Seeing this, Chloe took the initiative to explain, “Naomi, Brendan mentioned that you’re not in a great mood, so he’s asked me to come and keep you company.”

Naomi figured that Chloe was just trying to make things less awkward over Brendan’s actions.

Standing behind the two women, Jason felt just as awkward. He couldn’t quite grasp the drama that was unfolding before him.

On the other hand, Brendan had a cold expression as he said, “Don’t be afraid of her.”

Then, he turned to Jason and instructed, “Jason, take the luggage to the master bedroom.”

“Uh… Mr-” Jason didn’t finish his sentence. As soon as he saw Brendan’s icy glare, he quickly paused and said, “Of course.”

As Jason walked past Naomi with the luggage, his eyes were filled with sympathy.

This time, it might really be over between them.
