She resisted, and he forcefully pinched her cheeks.
It hurt, and a bruise formed after a while.
In a moment, her stockings were taken off and thrown to the end of the bed.
Mason pressed against her lips, murmuring like a lover, "I won't let you go. I never liked her. I have reasons I can't avoid. Be obedient, okay? We were so happy not long ago..."
Zoe's black hair spread on the snowy white sheets.
Her clothes were disheveled. She was vulnerable and helpless.
She looked at Mason, her voice slightly trembling. "Mason, don't do this."
His eyes darkened. "What do you mean?"
Zoe's lips kept trembling.
"We are still married. You don't want any scandals, right? Mason, don't push me. If you force me again, I can't guarantee that I won't do something irrational.
"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, maybe a week later, news of the president of the Lockwood Group being betrayed by his wife will fill all the media in Brookesville. I believe people will be more concerned about whether you've been cuckolded than your other gossip. How will your business associates see you? How will you conduct business in the future?"
Mason didn't get angry. He just chuckled. "Who taught you this? Or did you figure it out on your own?"
Zoe didn't answer.
She stared into his eyes.
Finally, Mason released her. He believed her words. She hated him so much that she might really do it if he locked her in.
She might go find Gregory or Cecil to mess with him.
She was really ruthless.
Be it quick-witted or liberated, Mason didn't like either of them.
He stood up and said in a low voice, "I'll let you go, but I won't get a divorce. Zoe, don't push me too far."
Zoe's body relaxed.
As if in a dream, she safely escaped Mason.
At this moment, she realized that her legs were weak.
Mason walked out of the bedroom, entered the study across the hall, and closed the door. He sat on the sofa, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit it quietly.
A faint smoke rose, blurring his face.
