Pedro, on the other end of the phone, listened to everything. But he didn’t sound as worried as Beatrice had expected.

He even sounded amused. “Oh? So he finally lost his patience? Your family does things too roughly. You used the wrong method.

“But it doesn’t matter. Since Mason dared to come to your house so openly to look for someone, then this matter should be counted on his head. Don’t worry. I can help you deal with him and teach him a lesson, so he won’t take his anger out on the your family business again. However…”

Pedro’s words carried a clear hint.

Beatrice understood immediately. She knew Pedro wanted to use this chance to deal with Mason, and that she and the Harlows were nothing more than a chess piece in that struggle.

But she had no other choice. She could only place her hope on Pedro.

Inside the car on the way back, the air was quiet and heavy.

Amelia was still wearing Mason’s coat. It still carried his calm and comforting smell, which made her feel safe and blocked the dark memories the Harlows had brought into her life.

However, ever since they left the Harlow Estate, the man beside her hadn’t said a single word.

His side profile looked very cold in the dim light and shadow. His thin lips were pressed tight, and his brows were slightly furrowed. Without saying anything, it showed that his mood wasn’t calm at all.

Amelia knew he was angry. He was angry about what the Harlows had done to her.

But that silence felt like a huge stone pressing heavily on her heart.

She couldn’t help turning her head and softly breaking the silence. “Mason… how did you find me?”

When he heard her voice, the tight line of Mason’s jaw seemed to relax a little.

His eyes were still looking straight ahead as he spoke in a low, hoarse voice. “When I called you, Beatrice answered the phone.

“Her story didn’t add up at all. I became suspicious right away. Later, I asked the tech team to check your phone’s location. The signal stayed at a single spot in the Harlow Estate and almost never moved. That was when I guessed they must have done something to you.

“So I took people there right away. First, I had Beatrice held under control. I told them that if they didn’t hand you over, I’d take Beatrice away too and lock her up somewhere.”

He spoke as if it were nothing, but Amelia could clearly imagine the frightened faces of the Harlows at that time, angry but not daring to speak.

She said softly, “The person they care about most is Beatrice…”

“That’s right.” Mason gave a cold snort. “So they gave in very quickly. But…”

When he said this, he suddenly stopped.

The car happened to stop at a red light. Mason finally turned his head, and his eyes locked firmly on her.

His eyes were usually calm and steady, but now they were filled with strong, complicated feelings. There was fear after the fact, anger, and a trace of weakness she had never seen before.

He raised his hand. But instead of gently touching her check like he usually did, he bent his finger and lightly tapped her on the forehead.

“Amelia,” his voice tight through clenched teeth. “Do you know how scared I was when I opened the door and saw you hanging from such a high window?

“At that moment, I felt like my heart had stopped. What if… I had arrived one step later and couldn’t catch you in time? What would have happened then?”

He rarely lost control like this. But even now, that lingering fear was still clearly written on his face, making his eyes bloodshot.

Only then did Amelia finally understand.

So the reason he had been silent ever since they got in the car wasn’t just because he was angry with her. He’d been scared of what could have happened.

A sharp pang hit her nose, and her heart ached for him.

She leaned closer on her own and gently rested her head on his shoulder, apologizing softly, “I’m sorry… I was too impulsive and made you worry.”

Feeling her move closer, the cold and tense air around Mason slowly began to fade.

He let out a long breath. Then he raised his hand, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.

Amelia leaned against Mason’s chest and explained in a low voice, “The Harlows were forcing me to hand over the estate that Fiona left for me. I refused, so they locked me up. They said they’d only let me out when I agreed.”

Her voice soon filled with anger. “Today it’s the estate. Who knows what it will be next time. I don’t want them to succeed again. So I thought that no matter what I had to escape…

“If I couldn’t get out through the window, then I… I’d find a way to start a fire and make it look like there’s a fire here. That way they’d surely-”

Before she could finish speaking, Mason suddenly covered her lips with his large hand.
