I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 54

Zoe pursed her lips. "I want to talk about Mia's situation."

Mason's voice became even colder. "Is that so? Let's discuss it in my office."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without leaving any room for further discussion.

On the chilly streets of late autumn, Zoe felt a shiver run through her entire body.

This was the true Mason. In the past, his occasional tenderness was just a means to coax her back home. Once he found it ineffective, he revealed his true self.

Indifferent and heartless.

Putting down her phone, Zoe didn't hesitate and took a bus.

After a couple of transfers, she arrived at the Lockwood Corporation building. The employees of Lockwood Corporation recognized her as Mrs. Lockwood, but they also knew how unworthy she was of the title.

Ava came down to meet her.

Climbing to the top floor, Ava opened the door to the CEO's office with an attitude that lacked warmth.

"Mr. Mason is out at the moment, Mrs. Zoe. Please wait. I'll make you a cup of coffee."

Zoe stood alone in the office. She noticed the violin, which she cherished and placed behind Mason's office chair.

She became lost in thought.

Unbeknownst to her, Ava entered. Following Zoe's gaze, Ava smiled faintly.

"Mrs. Zoe, do you know why Lilith hates you so much? You might not be aware, but four years ago, Mr. Mason actually considered marrying her. Since Mr. Mason didn't have a specific preference, Lilith, who dropped from the sky, caught his attention."

She placed the coffee on the table. Straightening up, she continued, "But Mrs. Lisa, Mr. Mason's mother, didn't like Lilith. She thought Lilith's background was beneath their status. Even if you hadn't appeared, Lilith would never have entered the Lockwood family's gates."

She was composed, not regarding Zoe with any importance.

Suddenly, Zoe asked, "What about you, Ava? With your background, would Mr. Mason's mother approve?"

Ava was momentarily stunned. She hadn't expected Zoe to see through her thoughts. Zoe lowered her head, smiling bitterly.

It wasn't hard to see through Ava.

In the past, Zoe deeply loved Mason and naturally understood the people around him. Ava's admiring glances at him were sometimes barely concealed.
